Jeez you've got to feel for the Saints. Probably the best team in the NFL over the last three years but cannot catch a break in the play offs.
Last year they got plain hosed. The year before it was that freakish TD that never should have happened. Some pretty bad juju in the Big Easy
-
Dallas really is the gift that keeps on giving.
Jason Garrett has been told he's out, and they are already interviewing his replacement. And he's basically refusing to accept it.
Saints v Vikings was another great game, but not as good as yesterday's OT game. Still can't believe the Saints are gone though. And to a team led by Kirk Cousins!
-
DK Metcalf has spent all season proving he's not just an athlete, he can play. Great pickup by Seattle.

Talking to myself in here...
I am very uneasy with the number of people who are already attempting to dance on New England's grave. Did they watch that game yesterday?
The Patriot's defense held a playoff team to 14 points. Brady wasn't as good as he was 4 years ago, but he still threw well enough to win the game, if he had even halfway decent targets. Their receiver corp is fucking terrible. They jag a tightend, and one high quality receiver target, and it's back on, even with Brady one year older.
-
@mariner4life That's if Brady returns. Doesn't sound like a done deal at all. A lot of speculation he will play on but elsewhere.
Speaking of QBs in their twilight - what is being overlooked today is that Brees was not that good - turned the ball over twice.

Brees is a fucking gun in the regular season, but something just doesn't quite click come playoff time.
I am hearing that about Brady a lot. I don't know, it might be just his length of service, but i just can't see him in another uniform. Why would the Patriots get rid? They would have to know that either they won't contend next year, in which case it's a rebuild (i am reading they might lose a few on D as well), or they can find someone else better than Brady for next year (unlikely). Re-tooling the offence completely is a huge move.
-
@mariner4life yeah interesting with Saints - Bridgewater was undefeated as a starter for them in 5 games this year - all the Saints losses came with Brees starting.
As for Brady I tend to agree with you - deep down if I had to bet I'd say he returns on a 1-2 year deal. Apparently they are very high on Stidham their rookie backup QB but that would be a lot of pressure. If Belichick had his way 2 years ago Garoppolo would be the Patriots starting QB and Brady would be gone.

A wildcard team playing in Foxborough with Ryan Tannehill as the starting QB. Holding them to 14 isn't that impressive, especially in a game where points were hard to come by. But most significantly, everyone knew what the Titans were going to do. At their peak the Pats were great at figuring out a way to take away a teams strength but they couldn't today.
Still going to be playoff contenders next year? Sure. But they're in decline at the moment. In reality they're probably a Bill Belicheck retirement away from a total rebuild.

I still think Brady could do a decent job of game management if he had decent receivers and a ground game to help him, a bit like Peyton in Denver

Agreed

I'm not sure Peyton is a great example.
Peyton's team for his last Super Bowl title was absolutely stacked. He basically Trent Dilfer-ed himself to a ring.
That final season Peyton threw 9 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He got benched for Brock Osweiler during the season (and then came back as a starter later on)

Tom is better than Peyton at that stage and could win with less help than he had. But he has no one to help him was the point I was trying to make

that team was pretty simply "don't turn the ball over, wait for Miller and the defense to win the game"
and it was glorious
Peyton did have some handy wideouts to hit though

That last season was almost sad (if he hadn't won a ring it would have been). I think he broke the all time passing record in a game where he threw three or four intercepts on about 9 attempts and got hooked for Osweiler.
