2022 NFL Season
Is Mr. Tom Brady really going to stay retired? I've heard rumors to the contrary. Particularly I've heard through the 'grape vine' that maybe he'll quarterback San Francisco.
Now the word is Mr. Brady may become QB of the Dolphins, along with a part owner.
@Town Heretic and
@Nick M and I argued about Mr. Brady a lot in the threads
NFL 2016,
NFL 2017,
NFL 2018, it was a very long multi year conversation between the three of us. I'm a "homer" but I can't help where I was born, and it certainly shouldn't be held against me.
Now that Mr. Brady's tied Mr. Otto Graham for most championship game appearances (10) and most championships (7), our conversation has been ended by Mr. Brady himself, who wasn't participating in the threads, but was continuing to participate on the actual "gridiron" all along.
The loss to Philly was the worst championship loss for Mr. Brady and the Pats in my opinion, worse than the 18-1 loss to NYG. It's because the reason why the team lost in the NFL 2007 season was due to physical football mistakes made on the football field.
But the loss to Philly was caused by two factors, one was that Mr. Brady missed a pass----not throwing a pass, but receiving one. If he had caught that pass, then the Pats would have won that game, that is 100% true, and you can check my 'credentials' on making such a prediction in the NFL season threads mentioned above. I know the game, and that game, would have ended differently had Mr. Brady caught that pass.
So that's also a football mistake on the football field. But the other reason Philly beat NE in that game was because NE's defense STUNK. They were AWFUL.
And that also sounds like just another football mistake on the football field, except that we do know why the NE defense stunk so much that game. It was because of one man. It was because of Mr. Malcom Butler. And Mr. Butler was not on the football field that game, just like team coach Mr. Bill Belichick, who also wasn't on the field, but Mr. Belichick for whatever reason neglected his duty as the team's coach, and did not put the best team of players on the field for the defense that game. He "sat" a basically perfectly healthy (in the NFL 'perfectly healthy' certainly does
not mean the complete absence of 'bumps and bruises') Mr. Butler.
The other salient bit of information in this game was that Mr. Brady played one of the best championship games that's ever been played in this game as quarterback, it was even better than his historic game against Atlanta, when the Pats "came back" from a 28-to-3 point deficit, and that game was already one of the best all time performances in any football game, championship or otherwise, for a quarterback.
He should have SMOKED Philly in that game, but NE's defense STUNK. Because of Mr. Belichick. Sitting Mr. Butler.
Back then, we couldn't tell whether this was a "Beatles" situation between "Paul" and "John", or whether Mr. Brady was largely responsible for the Patriots' six championship trophies over his time here, or whether it was Mr. Belichick. But now we know it was Mr. Brady all along.
