Yes. I think this is his last game in N.EAny chance this is the end of Tom Brady in NE?
I doubt it. Not a Pats fan at all, but Brady is incredible and I'll kinda miss him in a strange sense.Yes. I think this is his last game in N.E
Sure sounds like it unless he's playing poker and has 4 of a kindAny chance this is the end of Tom Brady in NE?

The student has become the teacher.That last drive, Mike Vrabel did exactly what his mentor taught him and took full advantage of the existing NFL rules. He wasted as much time as the rules would allow before punting it. New England even helped him out by jumping offsides. Belicek looked pretty angry. He himself did this exact strategy earlier this season and was caught laughing on the sideline. Tennessee stopped them after punting. If they can run some more clock, that strategy worked brilliantly.
Had to bring that up. Damn you Dee FordAnother Brady season ends with an interception. Last year would have, too, but...Dee Ford.
Not the end of Brady. Too proud to go out like this and he was already on record as wanting to play a few more years. Doubt the Patriots are ready to let go either. They traded a 2nd for Sanu earlier this season which was very un-Patriots. They're already throwing bad money after good to keep taking swings.
Got a feeling Brady is going to hang on too long and go out like Namath or Muhammad Ali. A GOAT shouldn’t let that happen and tarnish his legacy. But pride is a powerful thing.
Even if playing until 45 is the goal, that would mean three more seasons. We're already seeing early signs of decline now. Things could get Favresque before it's all said and done.
Kind of like a failing liver.
No offense but the NFL has to be scrambling to get people to watch that game. People hate dynasties but they watch them. The ratings say that people do not like parity because it creates a bunch of average teams...with luck determining the outcome.As I've been telling people all year, the AFC South is the best division in football and the division of winners. About to be an AFC South showdown in the AFC title game. Go Texans!
Henry is running all over on the Pats D in this half..
Brady need a check his ego and retire. His age is finally catching up with him, if he keeps playing till 45 it will only get worseWouldn't shock me if he called it quits tomorrow. Also wouldn't shock me if he played another 5 years.
Did you watch the game yesterday? He was throwing some absolute ropes and his receivers were not getting any separation. That’s been the story for most of the year. He is also still plenty mobile in the pocket. Physically he is fine.Brady need a check his ego and retire. His age is finally catching up with him, if he keeps playing till 45 it will only get worse
I don’t think Tom is retiring. He’s still NVot and has consistently claimed he wants to play till 45. But I’m not convinced he’ll be back in NE. This is the first time he has been a FA, and it was due to an extension he negotiated just this last offseason—he wanted the freedom and leverage to go elsewhere. Consider that with the fact that he and his trainer put their houses up for sale, and his trainer was once barred from the Pat’s facilities and now has limited access, and reported tension with Bill, it looks like Brady is ready to move on. Add to that both Brady and Bill seem to be the types who want to prove they can do it without the other. However, does Brady really want to learn a new offensive system? And what if Bob Kraft assures him they will get him the best receivers available?
Why would any football fan that actually watches more than one game a year give two craps about "the ratings"? The NFL is fine so having a hard time working up any anxiety on that topic.No offense but the NFL has to be scrambling to get people to watch that game. People hate dynasties but they watch them.

Despite those who for whatever reason try to drag the NFL down, it seems to be doing just fine.Why would any football fan that actually watches more than one game a year give two craps about "the ratings"? The NFL is fine so having a hard time working up any anxiety on that topic.
Why now? Why didn't he do this in 2018 or 2019?
It sure would be interesting to see him elsewhere, but where would it make any sense at this point?

Their O line and secondary options at receiver were terrible this year.Brady wasn’t the issue with the Patriots this year
Good points. I wonder if the style of play of Mahomes and Jackson will lend itself to an extended period of winning. The statue qb not only encourages teams to build around that player but it also allows them to stay healthy. Historically teams have used the dual threat as a stop gap...we have this explosive guy in the moment but we aren't going all in just in case they get smacked on a run or concussed for three straight weeks. We've already seen injuries in Houston, and Kansas City the last two years. I will admit those the four big guys in Seattle, Houston, KC, and Baltimore are fun to watch.Seriously, the NFL is doing just fine. Brady and Brees are being replaced by the likes of Mahomes and Jackson—way more exciting players IMO. I watched both games yesterday and despite being a Pats fan I thought the Buffalo/Houston game was way more exciting. Josh Allen and Watson were way more intriguing to me than watching Brady throw dump passes to James White.
And why won’t the Chiefs become a dynasty? (Not like the Pats, I don’t think I’ll ever live to see a 20 year dynasty again, but I see no reason the Chiefs can’t win 3/5 with Mahomes.)
Yes. I think this is his last game in N.E
