I think you are at least partly right. Brady won't win another SB here. BB just can't put together a good enough team around him. The good old days of his inherited clutch players on D are gone. And his receivers drop the ball way too much and can't get separation in tough games to save their lives.

I didn't know that trady Brady alone will mean another SB win for the Pats.  So, there is another QB out there, with the Pats surrounding that QB with "better" players, who can win the SB?  That is the key.. SURROUND Brady with players who can make plays in ADDITION to HIM!!!

The D blew, but please don't tell me you're excusing Brady. He played god awful too.

Running into the ref was dumb, and running for 2 yards at the end of the half as opposed to throwing it out of bounds was also dumb.

Brady has better weapons than most teams in the league AND the oline played great today. Maybe it was the loss of Gronk, but Brady's accuracy has dropped off in the later part of the season.

Also, Brady has not had thrown more TDs than INTs in an AFC championship game since '04.

p.s. I suppose the Broncos should trade Manning and the Packers should trade Rodgers and Steelers should trade Big Ben and so on...

How about we were one game away from a second straight Superbowl. I could see if we ddn't make the playoffs, but come on. I think its a little premature.

Jimmy.... It appears that you subscribe to the adage "That if you are going to predict, predict early and often"  

We don't need to blow the team up - nature/Father time will take care of that.  I tickles me that after a loss, the first thing the masses on here to is dole out the blame.  Yeah, we got beat and we haven't won the big one in years - so tell me this - what other team has matched our achievements AFTER our last SB win - the whole, the totality of them.  Jesus, we're competitive every year despite rebuilding, and that's still not enough.  Now, we have to win the SB every year or we stink.  I get disappointment, but this is rediculous - if our team is so bad, go root for another won.  But don't expect that team to live up to your standards either.

6 weeks ago you predicted a windy AFC championship in Foxboro decided after talib and Ridley knocked out of game....

I predict you in six weeks you will still be an idiot.

UD- I have nothing against your posts but I wonder why a COLTS fan insists on repeatedly  posting on a Pats message board--I have and never would care to be a part of a Colts message board. The only rational reason I can come up with is that the Colts don't have a message board and that you are unemployed and bored? What gives Under Dog 6?

That's not what the stats say.

Be nice if he was right at some point!
