    What's going to stop him? He keeps in perfect shape with that crazy water diet of his and the league had literally made it illegal to touch him. Hell the last time he got seriously hurt they outlawed that type of play. Same with Aaron Rodgers. Those guys can probably play until their mid-forties.

    Did you see him this year? He’s slowing way down. Way down. Did you see him tonight? He’s not the same player. The talent around him is deeper (credit to him taking much less in salary so the roster can be deeper - also part of his greatness).

    Yeah. I'm a Jets fan. I watch him several times a year. He's still has the greatest ability read the game and make on-the-fly adjustments of any QB that has ever lived. As long as he stays in tip top shape the system around him isn't just going to fold. It's almost plug and play at this point.

    Small consolation when given how it sounds like the Massachusetts football team played, I believe the Saints would have won this game.

    NFL and NBA changed their rules considerably since I was a kid. Not quite the same products and I do not find them as exciting as I did at that time.

    He’s slowing way down. He’s getting more prone to ill-advised passes. I won’t say he wont make playoffs, but his stats will continue the downward trend and he won’t be starting QB if the Pats will the Super Bowl in 202o.

    And that’s coming from one of a few here to root and support him.

    Yeah. Be a Jets fan for your entire life and believe that with a straight face. When he somebody knocks Brady out for half the year I might begin to believe that.

    I agree that the Saints got hosed, but after the 1st quarter of that game they pretty much got dominated. They got the ball in OT and threw a pick. Had their oppurtunies to win before and after that blown call and the failed to do it.

    Again they definitely got jobbed but the amount of whining and crap they have done since then is a little much, when they had other chances to win it...

    I'm saying they would have played far better than the Rams against the Pats

    Part of the problem with beating Brady is that whomever makes it to the playoffs has to outcoach BB. And that can't be done against the thd defensive side of the ball. They knew McVey's running plays to set up play action the moment before they ran them. He had to wait until the radio cut out to make switches to get any progress. And still the receivers were blanketed.

    It isn't so much that Brady is still at his peak. It's thst nobody can beat Belicheck consistently.
