Why is Tom Brady treated as if he should be immune from personnel changes? (1 Viewer)

[WxM]

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this season, "Gronk would have caught that one. Gronk would have made that play a hundred times out of a hundred. Gronk would have made that block." Well who cares? He isn't running out there. Why does Brady have to be surrounded with HoF talent?

Nobody in the press has ever said for Drew, "Colston would have hauled that in. Shockey would have made that first down. Graham would have scored easily." Or better yet, "Drew would have won that with an actual defense." (You know, like Brady.)

It's a bit of a rhetorical question. I know why. But it's still irksome. (I'm just thankful Drew finally has an actual defense.)

Because it's Tom Brady and the weekly Chris Collinsworth slobberfest!!

Apparently you didn't get the memo!!

I mean hell it took them all the way to eight minutes left in the game to FINALLY admit that the Patriots haven't exactly played against stellar competition this season!!

Because the league and the media are biased. They are always protecting narratives.

Slobberfest is right. Until NE is not, they are golden to NFL and networks,

When you've been the best at something for an extended period of time, you get the benefit of the doubt. Just how it is....

Exactly!

I was saying "about time they acknowledge they haven't played anyone".

I'm just happy their defense got exposed for not being historic as they are making them to be.

I reject your premise.

I don't blame you.....truth sucks sometimes.

Saints have been a better offense than New England over the years so his point stands.

They do it with Rodgers too! A million excuses when they lose.

NE have won 6 superbowls.....I hate that as much as anyone, but because of that fact, they get favor from national talking heads. Not sure why anyone expects it to be any different. It's the same reason why Lebron James gets calls/excuses lesser known players don't get.

When they were looking at the replay of the Edelman fumble that was returned for a TD, you could tell in Collinsworthless' voice that he was not happy to discover that it would not be overturned, he exclaimed "Wow!". He was truly hoping that he was gonna witness an epic comeback by Brady. Wasn't to be.

Just saying they have an easy case as the best offense over more than a decade, so they should always get that benefit. Not really big on the original premise, just following yalls logic.

This will be Brady's last year.

He's had the easiest schedule heading into tonight and statistically he's been mediocre, everything considered.

And tonight he was underwhelming to say the least.

He certainly looks pedestrian......the couple times I've seen him this year, I get a Chad Pennington vibe watching him play.
