Football Tonight - Texans @ Patriots - Page 20

Mile High Mania · 09-22-2016, 11:26 AM

OK, so the Pats are 2-0 and now down to their 3rd QB. Can they pull off the victory? Does Houston really go to 3-0?

I have no idea what to make of this game. And, I have to think that some of the issues at QB and the early matchups are the reason why ratings are down.

I'm pretty sure we want NE to lose, we don't need them undefeated when Brady returns - as if it really matters for them in that division.

A Pro Bowl caliber WR, TE and RB just isn't enough.

To be fair to the cultists, Maclin isn't really a pro bowl caliber guy at this time considering just how ****ing good other guys are across the league.

During the Montana era, the 49ers were something like 14-6-1 when Montana didn't start, and 7-3-1 when neither Montana nor Young started.

Well, if that includes Belichick's 1st year of rebuilding (5-11 in 2000) it's a bullshit stat.

Dude, you're forgetting to take the Ideal Gas Law into the equation.

^ It's scary to think that even if our starting QB had *ALL* of those WRs in his lineup, he still wouldn't throw a pass beyond 20 yards.

In your mind that year doesn't exist?

It's a dumb stat. "When Brady doesn't start"? He was a rookie. They were rebuilding. At that point whether he starts or not doesn't matter. You use 19-18 as if to say they'd be nothing without Brady. Take the first year out (5-11) and they've gone 14-7 without him, including 11-5 in '07 and 3-0 this year. Brady may be the GOAT at QB but Belichick is also the GOAT at HC and has clearly shown that it's he, not Brady, who make the biggest difference. Brady without Belichick would be much worse than Belichick without Brady.
