The previous year New England went 16-0 with Brady. That 2008 team with Cassel was absolutely loaded and probably would have lost no more than one or two games with Brady. In Belichick’s 29 years as head coach he’s only had 3 winning seasons without Tom Brady. How does that spill over my narrative? Without Brady, Belichick would’ve never lasted very long as a head coach. He would’ve spent most of his coaching career as a DC. Tom Brady made Bill Belichick.
Tom Brady went to a loaded team and won a SB; then what happened when it was no longer loaded? Where was that Brady magic?
Only a football moron gives more credit to a QB then a HC for a dynasty.

LA welcomes back RB Kyren Williams. That dude is special. Really helps their play-action....which is what they live on.
Not going anywhere but with Stafford getting a little bit healthier (4 TDs today so far) the Rams may be stumbling block for some teams the rest of the way.

Buffalo’s mistakes may end up costing them in the end. Very difficult to beat a real good team when you keep blowing opportunities.

Virtually the same Tampa team that Brady led to a Super Bowl win missed the playoffs the previous year with Jameis Winston. After Brady led Tampa to a championship he led them to 13 wins in 2021 and a playoff win over Philly, but ended up losing the NFC championship game to a more loaded Rams team. Last season Tampa wasn’t nearly as good and Brady was in decline. Tampa probably wouldn’t have won 5 games without him in 2022. Only a moron thinks a head coach is more important than a Hall of Fame QB.

It’s laughable for anyone to think Belichick was more responsible for New England’s success than Brady. Belichick has been a losing head coach without Tom Brady. You would rather have a young Bill Belichick leading your team as HC than a young Tom Brady? Belichick had four losing seasons in his five seasons as the Browns head coach. It his first year in New England he went 5-11 with Drew Bledsoe. He was 0-2 with Bledsoe the following year until he got injured and Tom Brady stepped in. The rest is history! :thumbup:

Still can’t believe we lost to the Cardinals. They suck even with Kyler Murray.
The team didn't give any effort on the road. Also, Dak was still adjusting to the new offense.

You’re kidding yourself if you believe that. We didn’t give maximum effort against AZ but we gave it everything we had against San Francisco. We had a score to settle with them and still got our butts handed to us. We gave it everything we had against Philly and they still beat us. Philly is hell-bent on winning the Super Bowl this year. I don’t see anyone stopping them.

It must be the Eagles year. Lucky plays working out in their favor and refs favoring them in clutch moments of the game. Tough to beat. Hopefully they end up 1 and done in the playoffs lol.

That's what I'm hoping for - their lucky streak peaks too soon and it's not there for them in a tight playoff game at the end.
