Brees and Brady both sucked. The attempts to act like Brady did something today is ridiculous. The Saints turned the ball over 4 times, most on their side of the field. Aaron Rodgers' arm still works.
Brady should have been picked like 3 times today. Brady's arm isn't Brees, but it is certainly not close to top tier. We can say the Saints gave him trouble, but the truth is any good defense that can get pressure has given him trouble. Get to Brady and he crumbles.Brady's arm still works. He lit up Washington. The Saints defense just gave him trouble all year. Not shocked he had a meh game, really. But agreed on Brees. He has looked done all year to me.
I know TB won the last meeting, but I do favor GB this go around. January in the cold not historically good for Florida teams.

It's different now. The stats show it. Brady 10 years ago had a much greater threat of the deep ball and thus the pressure game effected him differently, because getting to him was more of a gamble. Brady isn't winning these games. He is dependent on his defense, which got very lucky two weeks in a row with utter dross at QB. Even then, the games were close and they shouldn't have been.That is true, but that has been the book on Brady even when he was at the top of his game. Not like that is new information, lol. The Saints defense knows how to manhandle the Bucs offensive line. So it is a bad match up. Packers I think have a less dynamic defense in that regard. So I expect Brady to have a cleaner pocket next game. But I don't think it matters since I expect the cold to make it hard on the Bucs defense.

I agree with everything you say. It was actually very hard to watch Brees out there yesterday. He lacked velocity on his throws and too often even the short passes floated. His TE didn’t help him either. Brady was good but not stellar yesterday and he had a few bad throws that he was lucky weren’t picked off. But he brings tons of intangibles and has a brilliant football IQ. That makes up for a lot.I will be the first guy to say I have enjoyed watching Brady in his career, but that doesn't blind me or anything. No matter how ya slice it, a 40 TD season is great. I don't care what weapons or protection arguments you make, plenty of guys with loads of weapons don't sniff anywhere near 40 TDs with superior skill sets to the 43 year old QB. Seen plenty of QBs who hit that age mountain and fell down fast, and Brady has hit a depression in skills for sure. But man still can play. Like I said above, I am not seeing Manning when all he could do was hand off the football to the running back and the Denver defense literally had to win games. Even Brees in the same game looked far more done than Brady at this stage.
Now, is Brady at the level of Rodgers this season? Nobody is. Not even Mahomey! Man is playing out of his mind, and that mixed with the cold weather is why I think the Packers will win. But does that make Brady a bum? Heck no
Never take the only QB in the conference championship round who hasn't won a SB, even if his team is playing better than anyone's.
Unlikely that both #1 seeds make it to the SB.
So TB vs KC it is.
I have no idea what the conditions will be in Green Bay, but this is a game they have been waiting a long time for, ,and Brady is mostly cooked. This is Aaron's f' you season and while Tampa's defense is very good, but so are the Rams. I have the Pack winning the SB, so the Pack here obviously.
If Mahomes can play, I have the Chefs. If he can't, then the Bills.
KC's kicker is terrible, so he might be an issue. But it's Patrick Mahomes. If he is within 10 points under 5, he probably most likely to win. So the Bills have a lot of great aspects, but give me Mahomes.I think that would be the common opinion. That being said, I think the Browns had a pretty good chance winning that game even if Mahomes hadn't gotten hurt. They made a couple of stupid mistakes that hurt them and took them out of that game.
Yes I have. I also can't get enough of NFL talk from the likes of Barnwell, Kimes, Foxsworth, etc.Brady is cooked?? Give me a break. Have you been watching this season?
