Is that potentially a way for Arians to pass the buck to the player with the green dot?1--A blitz was a stupid call.
2--Not be able to communicate that call is also a coaching failure.
So, uh, yeah, we'll second guess.
It’s funny.

Obviously not any more but he played with most of those guys for nearly two years. A normal human would still feel attachment.Are they his teammates? And even still, it’s funny.
I think a slug fest works for both.My son posits:
A “slugfest” is where you score a lot back and forth and is a close game.
Whereas:
A “rock fight” is where you DON’T score a lot back and forth and is a close game.
I said “all these games have been slugfests” and he corrected me.
I think, in the NFL, “slugfest” works for both
Who’s right?
Classic Arians, whenever something goes wrong he makes weird vague comments, comments you never hear other head coaches making because the responsibility falls on them.Wasn’t communicated? WTF does that even mean

If I’m the owner I find a way to give Arians a graceful exit and run it back with Leftwich (and Bowles). I think that’s the kind of thing that could excite Brady and rejuvenates this group. Another year of Arians seems likely to run hot and cold and end badly.Classic Arians, whenever something goes wrong he makes weird vague comments, comments you never hear other head coaches making because the responsibility falls on them.
Tampa was very lucky to win one SB with him, he is a net negative on that team.
The dude is just loaded with excuses. He really isn't a good head coach.Classic Arians, whenever something goes wrong he makes weird vague comments, comments you never hear other head coaches making because the responsibility falls on them.

When Brady retires (and I think he will this year because he's in it to win a SB, not be part of a rebuild) I think the team goes right back into the abyss.The dude is just loaded with excuses. He really isn't a good head coach.
Agreed. I mean, I laughed too.It’s pretty damn funny. I mean, AB doing it makes it less funny because it’s probably full of spite and empty on self-awareness, but repurposing the meme he’d been dragged with for weeks to take a shot at the coach who cut him after Arians shit and pissed and puked all over himself.... well I laughed.
Can't that be said about all Super Bowl winners, for the most part? What I mean is, both QBs in the Super Bowl are usually on another level. There are outliers of course-Eli Manning beat a pretty elite QB in the Super Bowl-twice.Brady's won 7 Super Bowls. Here are the QBs he beat along the way.
2001
- Rich Gannon: 1 MVP, 2 all pro, 4 pro bowl
- Kordell Stewart: 1 pro bowl
- Kurt Warner: 2 MVP, 2 all pro, 4 pro bowl, 1 SB, HOF
2003
- Steve McNair: 1 MVP, 3 pro bowl
- Peyton Manning: 5 MVP, 7 all pro, 14 pro bowl, 2 SB
- Jake Delhomme: 1 pro bowl
2004
- Peyton Manning: 5 MVP, 7 all pro, 14 pro bowl, 2 SB
- Ben Roethlisberger: 6 pro bowl, 2 SB
- Donovan McNabb: 6 pro bowl
2014
- Joe Flacco: 1 SB
- Andrew Luck: 4 pro bowl
- Russell Wilson: 7 pro bowl, 1 SB
2016
- Brock Osweiler

- Matt Ryan: 1 MVP, 1 all pro, 4 pro bowl
2018

- Patrick Mahomes: 1 MVP, 1 all pro, 4 pro bowl, 1 SB
- Jared Goff: 2 pro bowl
2020

- Aaron Rodgers: 3 MVP, 4 all pro, 10 pro bowl, 1 SB
- Patrick Mahomes: 1 MVP, 1 all pro, 4 pro bowl, 1 SB
Just a few duds in there, but holy smokes that's a lot of elite QB talent Brady has beaten along the way. He's beaten 7 league MVPs. Warner is in the HOF but these other guys are almost certainly going to be there: Rodgers, Mahomes, Brees, Rivers, Roethlisberger, and probably Wilson and maybe even Matt Ryan.
Well, nobody's done it as much as Brady, for one. But it's a good question. Here's the QBs that Joe Montana beat on his way to four SB titles:Can't that be said about all Super Bowl winners, for the most part?

100% fully agree. It does make for some great television... and oh my those ratings... but we can't seriously talk about QB wins vs other QBs. It makes no sense. Tell me what defenses they beat. Brady won SB's against teams with Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warner, etc... but lost to Nick Foles and Eli Manning. That tells me absolutely nothing about Brady. It doesn't help me understand him better or those matchups or what happened in those games. It's just, like you said, media fabricated fluff.The concept of showing which quarterbacks Brady/Montana, etc beat on their way to Super Bowls is useless ... unless Brady was out there on defense and I missed it.
QB "wins" and QB "head to head matchups" are a media-fabricated and promoted counting stat that shouldn't be used in any legit discussion on the quality of a player.
Exactly. He is the opposite of Covid Toe in that sense. Rodgers loves being the center of his own circus as long as he can.I think he can’t let it hang out there too long. It’s going to create a feeding frenzy. He’s obviously thought about it for some time. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t know what the decision is already.
He learned from the master. He's spent his entire career upstaging Favre, this is just the last step.Exactly. He is the opposite of Covid Toe in that sense. Rodgers loves being the center of his own circus as long as he can.
Favre was cosplaying Hamlet, but he didn’t go the step of making himself a lightning rod and self-declared martyr for a key social/public health issue. That’s Rodgers’ genius.I don't think it's been discussed here yet, but Gronk made headlines earlier today when he hinted that while he might retire, he also might stick around even if Brady leaves. On a per game basis this was statistically his best year since 2015, but he missed quite a bit of time. I really wouldn't be sorry to see him walk away now, while he still can.

It‘s the kids too, not just the wife.Push will come to shove - and he will be back - if he asks her this question: ‘I can only do what I love for a limited time, and I’ve already made adjustments, are you going to rob me of a year or two while I can still do it?’
Can’t really infer anything into these new, carefully considered comments, as he basically just re-poses his life/career dilemma.
Of course, Rodgers will wait until a kicker is lining up a last-second FG for the winWell nothing will top ARod. Unless Brady announces his decision from SoFi Stadium during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.
He's also worked with Rodgers
Area Man Promotes SelfThat’s also the most self serving tweet ever. I know shit that you don’t but I can’t tell you! Trust me though it’s awesome and I know it but you don’t.
I don't think he wants to be a backupOk. So Tb12 comes back to NE for one final run!
I wish. Gonna watch the Atl SB again.
Danny White, as referenced in Baseball Jones post above went to the Super Bowl as a punter maybe Tom needs a new challenge. Gisele won't have to worry about him taking hits and he has some experience.I don't think he wants to be a backup

That's funny because every Pats fan I know was one of:The Athletic had a story this week saying "Admit it Pats fans, you were secretly rooting for Brady"
He's wrong, in the sense I'm not sure how secret it was for most of us.
