They've lost to the same opponents we've lost to in our SBs. Weird. 

The AFC has no depth or parody. New England being this good for this long just shows that. The top teams to don't excel and every once in a while someone comes out of nowhere such as Denver, but lacks continuity. The Chiefs could have ten years ago, but will get nowhere with Andy Reid. Cinci is a waste. Pittsburgh is the closest but constantly gets outcoached and outplayed when it comes down to it.

Brady's gonna get #6. No team in the AFC is mentally tough enough to beat them. His true rivals are gone (Peyton, and the Ray Lewis/Ed Reed era Ravens).

We know they'll win the east and get at least one home game. More than likely they'll get homefield advantage. The only team in the last decade to go up there and give them trouble at Gilette in the playoffs is the Ravens. They beat them twice handily and should have beat them on at least two other occasions (Remember the dropped TD pass in 2012 AFC title game and the two 14 pt  leads they blew in the 2014 divisional playoff). But now, they are no match for them. They haven't even made the playoffs the past two seasons.

Pittsburgh is a joke when it comes to playing he PATs. I think that's probably why Big Ben is thinking about hanging it up. He knows he ain't getting back to the SB because the AFC goes thru NE (6 straight AFC title games)

He's gonna end his career with 3 SB's in 4 seasons, just like he started it.

Let's all give thanks to Archie Manning. If it weren't for Peyton and Eli Tom would have 7 or 8 rings.

tomlin is starting to be exposed as a good but not elite coach who leans hard on his roster and certain units being completely stacked.  just like cowher although not as overrated in my opinion.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
