2020 NFL Thread v. Tom Brady aging better than Mila Kunis

[TAC]

Damn, the Pats suck!

WTF has happened to Gilmore? He seems like he doesn't even want to be there.

I'd start Stidham in the 2nd half. Newton has been shit.

[King Postwhore]

Cam was a league MVP MY ASS!

Cam was a league MVP MY ASS!

Gilmore was the Defensive POTY MY ASS!




Two asses!

Some crazy exciting finishes today.

In the Pats vs. Brady and Gronk experiment, I would have bet a months wages that Belichek and the time-tested, proven system would come out on top. So far I'm wrong. Gotta say, I'm very surprised at how much the Pats dropped off.

[TAC]

Gilmore literally just bailed on a guy running in for a TD.

[King Postwhore]

Stidham looks good so far playing against a D who is playing soft right now.

[ReaperKK]

I just tuned into the pats game and Jesus christ what a massacre. I'm sure Cam is currently shopping for clothes on the surface.

[King Postwhore]

I hope they are traveling suits.

The secondary has still been pretty good under the circumstances (and didn't Gilmour had pick+nice return today?). When your front six or seven can neither stop the run nor rush the passer you're going to give up yards in the air regardless of who's playing. A Deion, Revis, Lott, and Polamaulu unit would have looked bad today.

NE could have been competitive with a weak defensive front by itself. Once their O-line got wiped out that ended. They can't run. They can't protect Cam, who suddenly seems to have zero pocket presence. So they can't keep their D off the field and they can't put up points to control the game. They're pretty much fucked across the board.

I'm not ready to read a lot into that--just yet. Brady moved to an all-star team. He's got no excuse for not putting up allstar numbers. Conversely, NE has really taken a beating from the personnel standpoint. Decimated by defections, opt-outs, and injuries. I don't think we're seeing a fair comparison. And, I really don't know as the Patriots would be any better if 12 were still there. Also, TB has dropped two games, and will drop more, because of stupid mistakes and indiscipline that never popped up in NE. Tampa will not be a super bowl team, despite Brady's numbers, and a great deal of that is a lack of Bill Belichick.

I missed the Gilmour pick. But I did see him with ZERO effort on two rushing TDs. He has sleepwalked through this season. To me he quit today.


The D backs have some good young players in that group. Too bad they're watching Gilmour dog it through this season.

[DragonAttack]

When did Sly Stone become QB for the Patriots?

[Ben_Jamin]

Yeah, he definitely didn't trip, but what Aikman said was funny, "the turf monster got him." 

That's even more funnier coming from Troy Aikman.

Makes me think of the Futurama joke with Buzz Aldrin...

"I haven't had an introduction like that since I met the moon men."
(Everyone Laughs)
"But seriously, there are moon men."

"But seriously, there is a Turf Monster."

I really haven't seen that at all. However, by all accounts they're definitely shopping him.

About time someone beat the Seahawks.

I didn't see every snap of the game yesterday, but I was thinking about this last night and I think this is SPOT ON.  I think this is perfect analysis. 

[King Postwhore]

Brady made Tampa an all star team.

Just like Brady made last year's Pats team seem like a playoff team.

[Dublagent66]

About time someone beat the Seahawks. 

Yeah, it was actually the Seahawks.

[Ben_Jamin]

About time someone beat the Seahawks. 

Yup....I was really concerned about this one. And rightly so, It went into Overtime, and that says a lot. Especially this wack ass (comical) season.

To me, this season, is on the verge of Ridiculousness. It's hilarious and I don't know how serious the players are taking it either, they're there because they need to make money. Can't be sponsored if you don't play...

[Ben_Jamin]

Brady seems like the type of guy who will work with anybody. Meaning, he'll put his Ego away and work to make the TEAM, better. Gronk understood, and they are now a pair that plays together, as they both get it.

Newton on the other hand, seems like the type of guy to do his own thing. Like Antonio Bell...

On the verge? Not if you're a Cowboys fan. We're 100% there on the planet Ridiculous!

Jimmy Garropolo would probably think differently of that assessment.

I loved Michael Strahan's view of the Cowboys on Sunday:   "I'm done with the Kool-aid; they are who their record says they are."

[dparrott]

  Yeesh what a disaster. 

Glad Herbert (Chargers) got his first win.

Tonight's game should be good.

All accounts was that he dud help him in his growth but when push comes to shove over your own job and you have the ear of the owner...

In retrospect it was kind of a dick move, though. Brady had to have known this was coming. Clearly he didn't even want to finish his career under Bill. If he were going to be around 5+ more years then that's one thing, but running your own replacement out of town and then bailing 2 seasons later really wasn't cool.

He actually asked out 6 months later after the Eagles SB.

[King Postwhore]

And Kraft talked him out of it.  BB wouldn't give him a 2 year deal.

That sounds oddly specific...

[King Postwhore]

 

Oh yeah. Lol

[bosk1]

Joe, I was intending to have this talk with you privately, but...well...since you brought it up here in the thread, I guess this is as good a place as any.  I've just been feeling...restless lately.  Sometimes your mind just starts to wander, you know?  And at first, it seems perfectly innocent.  But as time goes on, you start to realize that...maybe there's something else out there for me.  Something...I dunno.  Look, it's not you--it's me.  And I just...I just want to make sure that we can still be friends at the end of all this.  No matter what, I'll always love you like a brother.

[King Postwhore]

I've been so spoiled it's hard to be depressed.   It's more anger that egos, especially 2 egos broke up the best run ever.

That being said, how can I complain?  We have been spoiled jn N.E. with all 4 major sports. 

Still, seeing Brady play well makes me mad, not at him but at the organization. 

[bosk1]

I hear you.  Those types of situations never seem to make sense at the time.  It reminds me of a situation that took place years ago.  I'll change the names to protect the identities of those involved so that no one will know who I am talking about.  So let's say hypothetically that you have the makings of a dynasty and a quarterback that has led your team to...I dunno...let's say four Superbowls.  We'll call him...John Idaho.  And then the team just up and trades him into a different conference to a team you don't even care about.  I can tell you from experience that it's pretty gut wrenching.  That is, until you realize that the former backup--we'll call him Stefan Youth--is a pretty good starting QB in his own right and can carry the torch forward.  I'm just saying that these things can work themselves out.  Hypothetically speaking, of course.
