    Just think of Saints fans, this was probably their last crack with Brees. You got Mahomes for the next 15 years. Y’all will be fine.

    I think saints will have another shot next year, if they can keep this offense together. I think Brees is the type of qb that can play well into his early 40s.

    I hate how Steelers let Ben basically call the shots and gets what he wants. Can’t wait to see how much he falls off without Brown next year. I would rather the Steelers ditch Ben tbh and keep Brown and Bell on their team. And give Rudolph a shot with that offense. Rudolph couldn’t throw as many terrible picks as Ben did this year. Just hate how Ben never takes responsibility after a game they lose where he makes horrible passes. And good luck throwing to a receiver like brown with double sometimes triple coverage and Brown still came up with the ball. Shuster gets double covered next year and I don’t see him as no Antonio Brown. Connor is too injury prone with the way he runs to trust him all season.

    Is there talk about them drafting a QB or moving on from Ben though? I doubt that happens, but I kinda agree with you.

    What sucks is I know the Pats will either get blown out, lose close, or win close in the Super Bowl... Zero chance they win this game like they did vs the Chargers, so I know I'll lose another 5 years off of my life next Sunday.

    Yeah, PFF changed their grading scale so I feel like a lot of people are misinterpreting these as low grades but a grade in the high 70s is considered really good on PFF’s scale. Also taking into account in the Super Bowl, you’re typically playing vs a top tier defense. 80+ grades from QBs in the Super Bowl certainly aren’t the norm. But yeah, I actually recently rewatched that 36 Super Bowl. If you’re grading based on efficiency/quality of throws (which PFF does) I can see why they gave him such a low grade. Especially in that first half, NE’s passing game was just nonexistent. A vast majority of your guys offense was being generated by the run. Your guys 14 points in the first half both came from turnovers, one being a pick 6 on a terrible throw from Warner. A lot of Brady’s completions were coming off RB screens & bubble screens from you WRs, nothing particularly impressive from a throwing stand point. I recall he almost threw a pick in like the 2Q that one of the Rams safety’s dropped too. He was impeccable on the final drive of the game though. Even when he’s having a bad game of sort’s, dude always steps up when it matters most.

    His grade for the super bowl vs Seattle would have been substantially higher if it weren’t for a handful of really erratic throws he made that game. Honestly, that could have been his best SB performance but the game plan they executed vs Seattle was extremely difficult. They essentially put it all in Brady’s hands & asked him to make the absolute best decision on every throw which he didn’t but he made the right decision a vast majority of the time!

    They mentioned about drafting a qb. But recently the Rooney’s been talking about signing Ben another 3-4 years, which I think could be a huge mistake. Just with bens ego, he doesn’t like a player being bigger than him imo. Bell and Brown both got a bigger rep than him and look what happened. Ben bitching at wideouts but never takes blame on some of his horrible game decision interceptions. Like I said, i feel Steelers could still be the best team in the afc getting rid of Ben and playing Rudolph, if they can keep brown and bell. Offensively the best at least. They could still draft a qb this year in case Rudolph didn’t work out.

    “A 10-year-old kid won a science fair by proving Tom Brady is a cheater” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/10-yea...fair-proving-tom-brady-cheater-184439991.html
    Lmao a 10 year old even proving he cheats. Sad this is what sports are turning into. Who can cheat or steroid their way to the top. The 04 redsox really blew up the cheating scandal in American sports.

    @Fitzy

    Just a little video that will make you want to run through a wall on a Saturday morning.

    2013 Sox was the only one I’ve been in attendance for so I have a special place in my heart for that one. The first Pats Super Bowl GW kick I remember the most vividly at a 6th grade SB party.

    04 Sox is probably #1 though after Aaron Boone the year before. It’s funny but you remember the bad losses more, 03 Sox/Yanks, David Tyree, and the Finals loss to the Lakers and the Bruins collapse in games 6 against the Hawks stick with you more.

    Maybe it was the 2 miles in the cold I walked home from my friends house after the helmet catch but man f--- that game.

    Honestly, I think they might need to clean house, including Ben and Tomlin. I don't think Tomlin has a good handle on the team, and if you're right about Ben, then he's just as big of a problem as Tomlin.

    Great video...

    Best titles in order?

    01 Pats (first time seeing my team win a title)
    04 Sox (just iconic)
    16 Pats (legit had tears)
    03 Pats (on my bday)
    14 Pats (on my bday)
    07 Celts (after all the bad luck in the 90s, was so happy to finally see it, and vs the Lakers)
    13 Sox (marathon bombing, plus the insane turnaround)
    04 Pats (prob the best Pats team ever, aside from 07)
    07 Sox
    18 Sox
    *Not a hockey fan but will bandwagon Bruins*

    Worst losses (im prob gonna forget some)

    07 Pats (kills me to this day. Easily the worst)
    03 Red Sox (I remember hysterically laughing in my dorm like 'we're never gonna win a world series")
    96 Pats (seeing one of my teams in a championship, and to get the s--- kicked out of us vs Green Bay.... seeing Favre running around smiling sickened me)
    97 Pats (losing to Steelers 7-6 lol)
    06 Pats (biggest choke of Pats, Up 21-3... f---).
    10 Celtics (had a 13 point lead in f---ing LA in Game 7)
    11 Pats (kick in the nuts by Giants)
    12 Celtics (losing to Miami in 7... "I'm cold blooded" by Pierce was bout to be iconic... but LeBron game 6 was even more iconic...)
    18 Celtics (being up 2-0 vs Cavs, I didnt think we'd win vs GSW but still would've been nice).
    95 Red Sox (only time in my childhood seeing Sox in the playoffs)
    02 Celtics (I had unreal hopes of seeing Celtics vs Lakers, and I thought Pierce was destined to bring us a title this year)
    15 Pats (last Brady vs Manning game, but I felt good for Peyton tbh)
    10 Pats (gets overlooked but I still can't believe the Pats lost to the f---ing Jets. That Pats team was one of my favs).
