Patriots!

Hey just be glad that my Bronco's did not make the cut this year. They always seem to be a tough team to beat when they make the playoffs and usually give NE a tough time in the post season.

I'm no Pats fan, but will admit that they are a very good team with the best coach bar none in the league. Matter of fact I would bet that by the time everything is all said and done, you may be watching the best coach in NFL history. I do however think that Brady is a bit overrated.

Once again my Giants came through for me. Yesterday's game against the cowboys was my superbowl! Go big blue!

Compared to who? He set the season touchdown passes record, voted league MVP, numerous weekly player of the week awards, and now has the highest percentage of completions in a game, ever. And I haven't mentioned the 2 superbowl MVP's!

OK, deep breath.

Seriously though, is TFB overrated or overpromoted? Lord knows I had enough of the Seyton Manning bandwagon the last few years.

Brady's got some great targets to hit. This is arguably the most potent offense ever. He's having a career season, in the midst of a Hall of Fame career. And I am not a Pats fan.

Now, if only he was having a career season in his personal life...

Brady has always had a good team to work with, this year in particular is no exception. Does this diminish his accomplishments this year or in the past? Certainly not, however at the same time it definitely helps. Let's face it, football is a team sport and if the team collectively plays well than individual records will reflect that. What the Pats have to make them great is IMHO the best coach of all time, bar none.

Overated?Are you guys nuts?Who did Brady have to throw to in winning 3 superbowls?Chumpchange my friends.Was Manning overated setting the record with his allstar recievers?Now that he has weapons he sets the all time touchdown record and he's overated?You are watching a career of historic perportions my friends.If he wins his 4th this year is he still overated?What would he have to do to be rated with your perception?Get off the Patriot hating bandwagon and enjoy something you might not ever see again in your lifetime.

Correct my friend, and the first person to say that would be TFB himself.

Lets lay this out this way:

Season totals: 3,529 yards + 87.9 passer rating.
Season: 2006
Number 1 reciever: Reche "please stop dropping passes in playoffs" Caldwell.

League MVP
NFL records 50 TDs in a single season
2 Super Bowl MVPs
and now....
26 of 28 (92.8%) completions in a playoff game

...is overrated? Man, you sure have some HIGH standards!
