If you watch the games he's not doing much. He's very smart. He knows where to go with the ball. He knows where the defenders are. I give him loads of credit for that. However, the throws he's required to make are simple. They're mostly little dinks and dunks. He's accurate, but most good qbs are on short/intermediate throws. IMO he's not an mvp for this reason. He sure knows where to go with the ball today, 5 sacks, going down with it

Brady is a great QB as it was said, but he is not the God he's thought of, and it's proven that damn system they run is more important then the QB. Remember Matt Cassle? Not a knock him, but not started a game since HS to right off the bench and leading an NFL team to that much success? No, sorry. And while I've been a casual fan, the way the Jets have played the last 2 seasons and their mentality I think has made me a legit fan. Enh, not even worth commenting. Haters gon hate, etc.

Hey Pat, sorry that your Patriots lost.  But take heart...at least they aren't the Lions.   I really expected that this was going to be their year again. 

By the way, I get to flame and be a dick to everyone for 24 hours. I think that should be the rule for anyone when their team gets knocked out of the playoffs.

Actually no, as insane as this sounds I used to go Eagles if the Giants went down. I was one of the "other NY team" haters. But I've realized that's a bit silly, and the Jets aren't a joke anymore so I don't have to defer to the Eagles And haters gon hate? See Pat, isn't it great to disregard to all flak with such a simple statement? Hey man, no one will deny whatever wins, wins. But the Pats offense can be run, with a lot of success, by a HS senior QB. That's really not a joke. it is a joke. I know everyone here feels otherwise, but brady is a great qb. I don't think cassel is that bad of aqb, he led another team to the playoffs this year. If you think the pats results over the past 10 years would have been the same with some other random dude, youre nuts.

I do not think that. Because this Pats offense has only been in use since 2007.
Before Brady had good numbers, but nothing like these inhuman ones.
Cassel is a good QB but doing that good after stepping in like that?
Brady is a great QB, there's no denying it and as Pat said he can run this offense flawlessly. But it's easy. Also look at how many players are added/removed with no impact whatsoever. None of that seems a little unusual?

The Giants need a whole damn season to get a new receiver on the field! Even the ones around for 2 seasons still don't have the offense down yet

Well, prior to this year (with very young receivers and missing Steve Smith a lot) he ran a fairly complex offense pretty superbly. So I think he'd do alright.

Besides, Eli isn't pretty/controversial enough to play for New England

For the record, the system is great. As is the QB.

I need robignosis levels of beer to drown this misery. :(

I noticed that irony a while ago as well.
Still doesn't mean I can't hate em!

I know, I like BOTH home teams.....so not avant. But what can I say?

I'm fine with this. Have at it.
Just remember, 18 and 1 giant loss

Fair nuff.

BTW my brother the Eagles fans has hated the Pats longer then I. All going back to that SB.  He can hold a mighty grudge, and after 2007 oh boy there's no chance

No amount of sex would have made that superbowl better.

Giants are a much better fit.
