Rodgers got 2 games against the 0-16 Lions and threw 600 yards and 6 touchdowns in those games. He went 4-10 in his other 14 games lmao his first season is so fucking overrated

Bill Belichick without Tom Brady ordered from best season to worst season

Playoff wins? 1 in 11 seasons

Playoff appearances? 2 in 11 seasons

Winning seasons? 3 in 11 seasons

The 2023 Patriots have failed to score a point in 24 quarters this season. This is the most scoreless quarters of any Patriots team in the Belichick era. There’s FIVE GAMES LEFT

Remember last year when Jokic got accused of stat-padding the regular season averaging 24.5/11.8/9.8 and then in the playoffs he averaged 30/13.5/9.5 and everyone realized that he wasn’t stat-padding in the regular season he was actually not even trying lmao Now he’s close to averaging what he did in the playoffs last year and the idea that he might have a level even beyond this isn’t even out of the question

Jokic has 34 free throws in his past 6 games

Embiid has 33 in his past 2 games

Brady won a super bowl and 2 division titles in his 3 years in your division lmfao

Checkers is a solved game dude

Yep Tom Brady, who led the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns 2 years ago at 44 years old, could never hope to understand a modern defense lmao gotta love r/nfl, the same sub that voted Brady 101st best player in the league

If Lebron, Durant, Curry, or Jokic averaged 23.6 on 43 from fg and 29 from 3 they’d be crucified by this sub

This play did really well on reddit once upon a time. It has just about everything you want your offense to be able to do when commanded by an elite qb.

1. Edelman goes in motion with 15 seconds left on the play clock. Steelers defense moves in response, revealing information to Brady

2. Brady calls an audible with 8 seconds left on the play clock. All 5 Patriots skill position players recognize the audible and move to brand new spots on the field and get set within 5 seconds of the audible call

3. Ball is snapped with 2 seconds left on the play clock. Play goes for an easy first down

This requires so many things. It requires Brady to be able to identify what the Steelers are likely doing in the Patriots initial formation, be able to quickly identify new information gained based on Edelman’s motion, and requires incredibly quick recognition to take all that information in and make the decision to call an audible to a play that the entire rest of the offense needs to know by heart and get into immediately since time was of the essence. Brady used to use up entire play clocks moving guys in motion, sometimes back and forth multiple times, just to see if someone on the opposing defense would give something away. Sometimes it wasn’t even to see if they would give something away on that play, it was just information that could be used for later. If the Patriots saw a certain formation or personnel package and that specific grouping refused to audible out or respond to motion, it could mean that they won’t in the future.

Manning was also insanely good at this. He’d go up and do the funky chicken at the line of scrimmage shouting the ramblings of an insane person and it was all to get any information he could from the defense. Colts players have said that most of what Manning was saying was jibberish other than the key words that they knew to look out for. Anything to get an extra piece of information that could help.

That type of chemistry and trust takes time. Manning didn’t get it from day 1 with Tom Moore. Brady didn’t get it day 1 with Charlie Weis.

It worked all year until they played a defense where the cornerbacks just fucking held and dared the refs to throw flags.

That Super Bowl was a matchup of a Broncos offense that committed illegal offensive pass interference every play and a Seahawks defense that committed just about every penalty they thought they could get away with.

What most people forget (or didn’t even see) was that in the AFC Championship Game 2 weeks prior to that Super Bowl, Welker went and fucking speared Aqib Talib and knocked him out of the game on an illegal pick, no flag. Broncos were the healthier team going into that game anyway and would have won anyway, but for the Pats to lose their best and most physical corner to a cheap shot with no flag early essentially sealed the victory before halftime. Watching the Seahawks beat the shit out of the Broncos was cathartic after watching Denver get away with that garbage all year to set records.

Wemby shot more free throws than Jokic lmfao has any professional sport hated it’s best player more than the NBA hates jokic? This shit is getting absurd

Career playoff ppg

Embiid: 24

KD: 29.4

Luka: 32.5

SGA: 15.1

Giannis: 26.6

Curry: 27

Jokic: 27.5

Tatum: 23.8

Edwards: 28.1

Maxey: 15.7

Embiid in the 2nd round averages 23.6 on 43/29/82 splits. Forget great, he isn’t even a good scorer in the playoffs

There are multiple teams that had undefeated regular seasons in NFL history though, including the aforementioned Miami Dolphins. Even if you ignore the regular season there are other undefeated regular seasons, not just the patriots.

Teams that only lost a single time to win the chip is even larger, including the 18-1 85 bears and the 84 49ers

The 07 patriots sputtered so much at the end of their season it was very similar to the warriors. They were insane in the first 8 games and getting lucky a lot in the last 8 and playoffs. Had they won the super bowl I’d be ok calling them the best team ever because of 19-0. With the warriors though even if they had won the finals over the cavs they wouldn’t have been better than the 72-10 Bulls who lost way fewer games than the warriors overall

When the Thunder played the Nuggets earlier this year Chet equally could not defend against the bigger and stronger and more talented Jokic. Do you know how many free throws Jokic shot? 3, for the entire game. Jokic also got called for a foul for turning around when the 7’2" Chet put his face all the way down at Jokic’s elbow height.

It is honestly laughable the lengths you people will go to defend the disgraceful fouls that get called for Embiid.

The NFL has multiple 18-1 teams that won the title. The Patriots are the only 18-1 team that didn’t. NFL also has the 17-0 dolphins,and other undefeated teams from before the sb era

The Warriors were a much worse team by the end of that season than they were at the start. Currys injury completely derailed their trajectory. Hell they lost more games in those playoffs than they did in the whole regular season. Plus they should have lost to the Thunder, but the NBA are giant pussies and wouldn’t suspend Draymond until he dared to touch LeBron.

The time between now (2023) and LeBron getting drafted (2003) is greater than the time between LeBron getting drafted (2003) and Michael Jordan getting drafted (1984)
