East Coast Bias Bowl -- Running Super Bowl XLVI Thread

Giselle has made a fan of me. I love when a wife jumps to the defense of her husband.

 

Ha.

 

AS do you.

 

Rodgers and Brees are two guys who are as likable as you get.

 

"She is heard as saying." That's some solid reporting there.

OK, let me try to get a lot of these points: Maybe it's because I'm a Patriots fan, but where can you show me that Tom Brady is arrogant? I listen to every postgame presser, and he's as gracious in a loss as he is a win. He does a couple of ads in magazines, but he doesn't do commericals.

That being said, I think all Patriots fans have to come to grips with the fact that he is 34 years old now and not the quarterback he was at the start of last decade. He made some pretty bad throws, and I think you're going to hear about how that hit Tuck laid on him really messed up his left shoulder. Still, Welker needs to catch that ball.

And all this talk about being a Hall of Fame quarterback needs to end. He still might not be the best quarterback in this draft class ... there's another guy with two SB titles.

 

THere's video of her saying it, clear as day.

BTW, ratings are out. Third-highest rated SB ever.

 

Brady didn't have as good a game as Eli did last night. But the idea he's over the hill is more than slightly contradicted by his 2011 season's stats. And he's a Hall of Famer if he's run over by the team bus on the drive back from the airport.

 

Not sure I agree ... that left shoulder isn't getting any better (even through a full offseason) and he's just one hit away from being great to being underwhelming, as we saw last night. I just feel that this window is closing fast, and with all of the free agents coming up (branch, ocho, welker), I hope they can continue to give him the weapons he needs to win. This isn't 2006.

 

A case can be made that he had a better season this year than last, when he was the unanimous MVP.

 

"Continue to give him the weapons he needs"

I don't think The Patriots are doing that now. Yes they made the Super Bowl but there was a glaring lack of big play weapons.

If there is anything to find fault with Belichick about it's some of his GM decisions.

 

No argument there.
