NFL 2020

Brady is 34-11 in the Post Season ... thats amazing ...

That answers what I was going to ask ... i think.

I was going to ask, how many times Brady's been to the PS and NOT won the SB ...

I guess it would be 11.

So if you take the 7 he's won and the 11 times he didn't ....
So that means theres only been 3 years that a Brady led teams didn't at least make the playoffs .

Not bad for a Xichigan man ...
 
The problem is in an era of cap, it’s going to be hard for Mahomes to achieve what Brady and few others have achieved, the chiefs are over cap going into the off season, it’s hard to pay for talent when 3 of your players account for a majority of your team cap. Mahomes/Kelce/Hill, with those 3 contracts and Fisher contract it’s going to be extremely hard to to pay other talents. They can definitely get the pieces from the draft, but being at the bottom it’s going to be hard finding an offensive linemen that is going to be a solid starter, especially at right and left tackle.
The chiefs are going to have a solid roster for another year before they will need to start a fire sale, they need to address the offensive line or Mahomes is going to have the same faith as Andrew Luck, the amount of hits he took were rough all season. Kelce is getting up there in age, he may soon see a drop off like Gronk and other predecessors.

Yep, also that one year when he had the season ending injury in 2008, that year the team didn’t make the playoffs but somehow still managed to be 11-5. If he stayed healthy and didn’t get injured in the first game of the season I bet they would have made the playoffs at least.
 
Yeah, Brady took discounted contracts over the years to make it easier for the Pats to sign the help he needed. Not that they should have to, but there aren't many players that would do that these days. With more QBs signing those mega contracts, it makes it harder for teams to sign other impact players....

It’s actually only one season that a Brady led team didn’t qualify for the postseason. He was a rookie 4th stringer in 2000, the Pats went 9-7 in 2002 but lost out on tiebreakers for the AFC East title to the Jets, and in 2008 Brady missed the season after tearing his ACL in Week 1 (Pats went 11-5 anyway, but lost out on tiebreakers for the AFC East title to the Dolphins)

Brady season by season:

2000-DNP
2001- won SB (3-0 Postseason)
2002- missed postseason
2003- won SB (3-0)
2004- won SB (3-0)
2005- lost divisional round to Broncos (1-1)
2006- lost AFCCG to Colts (2-1)
2007- lost SB to Giants (2-1)
2008- tore ACL out for season
2009- lost wildcard round to Ravens (0-1)
2010- lost divisional round to Jets (0-1)
2011- lost SB to Giants (2-1)
2012- lost AFCCG to Ravens (1-1)
2013- lost AFCCG to Broncos (1-1)
2014- won SB (3-0)
2015- lost AFCCG to Broncos (1-1)
2016- won SB (3-0)
2017- lost SB to Eagles (2-1)
2018- won SB (3-0)
2019- lost wildcard round to Titans (0-1)
2020- won SB (4-0)

As you can see, Brady has had only 3 one and dones in his career. That- as much as his Super Bowls- has allowed him to rack up the postseason wins.

The truth is, Tom Brady has been in the Super Bowl just shy of half of his career! The guy has more Super Bowl MVPs than almost every other QB has Conference Final appearances. Had the Eagles not finally figured out how to defend against the Patriots late in the fourth, it'd been 5 MVPs with over 500 yards in the air!

The most impressive part is, and this is organizational, the Patriots did this in the Cap era. That they managed this long term over 19 years is beyond belief. Tampa has put together a short term champion. The Patriots were a dynasty of a dynasty! His championships are *insert several Montreal Canadien player* or Bill Russell like when the game was much harder to do so. And that isn't as much on Brady, other than his willingness to sacrifice pay for winning (and his enduring career), as it is with the Patriots organization and coaching and secret satellite spying technology and underground spy moles.

Kansas City and Tampa aren't the largest markets. Many people probably didn't want to see Brady win again either.

KC is a football down. Had the score been different ratings would have been better.

To me without the buzz of Superbowl week the game felt flat.

Lack of parties probably impacted it as well.

This is exactly how I feel. It was just my wife and myself watching the game this year, and I said to her about an hour before kickoff that it didn’t feel like the Super Bowl. Obviously some of that was because we weren’t surrounded by people at a SB party, but I felt that way all week. No radio row this year was a contributing factor IMO.

Market sizes mean very little in the NFL in general and in the Super Bowl in particular. If market size mattered, then the networks would never want Green Bay in the Super Bowl. We all know that’s not the case. I do think you may have a point about “Brady fatigue”. However, counterpoint to that would be curiosity factor to see if Brady could win one without Belichick.

I don't know about that ... you hear about other players taking less money so others can be signed.
A lot more will have them restructure thier contract to save money so the team can get others as well.
 
Thats was a reason I watched ... not the only, I always watch them, but it made it interesting.

I bet MANY of them did or at least restructured ...
I know for a fact that Big Ben did with his last contract, he had them redo his so some of his O Line could stick around ...
Probably do the same this time around.

You REALLY think that Brady is the ONLY one that has restructured a contract to keep players or so they can get another ?

It wouldn't surprise me if Wilson hasn't done that and I bet Mahomes will in the future.
 

Where did I say Brady was the only one?

Well certainly the only one with 5 or more Super Bowl appearances.
 
forgive me if I said this here before

You guys are on to it here. imo the reason the sports ratings are down is Sports are a gathering experience.
be it arenas, sports bars or even homes. without that we lose the fringe sports fans.
