Still baffled by that Bears loss but they do now have Nick Foles so maybe it's a Curse?
Just saw this thread, and I knew Brady's team was much better this year with him (4-2 currently) at QB, but wondered if he had slipped.
Dude has a 64% completion rate, .2% higher than his career %, 6.9 yards per completion, which is only .6 lower than his career avg. 12 TD's vs 2 INT's the last 5 games.
QB rating is currently 97.8 for the season. His career rating is 97.0.
All this while playing for freaking Tampa Bay.
Why should he retire again?
Tampa is now 4-2.
At this point last year, they were 2-4. Started the season 3-10 and only won 7 games.
He's right on his career numbers, and is on his first new team and a new offensive system.

All the QB numbers are inflated this year due to no crowd noise and very little ability to practice for the defenses.
Everyone should quit when they have hit their prime...
But do they ever? Michael Jordan had his shit with baseball + joining the Wizards.
Manning went from Colts and jumped around a bit as well..

Why should they quit? Especially the greats? Jordan was still a top 10 player in scoring when he was with the Wizards. Bad knee got him, though.
But the greats are so much better that they can play at a pretty good level when they start to decline. No reason they shouldn't.

Huh? Didn't he demolish Green Bay? I tuned out after the outcome looked inevitable...
Edit: Yeah, TB 30, GB 10. What's your problem with Tom? He dropped it into Gronkowsky's hands deftly several times. Just killed GB.

If he actually is friends with and voted for Donald Trump it is definitely time for Tom to hang it up.mid-season update:

He's probably saying it with the same sarcasm with which that comment was originally crafted.

I hate Golden-boy as much as anyone but credit where it's due ... Brady has certainly shown HE was the more important half of the Brady-Belichick combo in terms of winning. (Belichick has never won a thing as a head-coach sans Tom)
Beating KC or Buffalo is a mighty tall order for any team this year but I now give Tampa an outside shot with their size on D ... GB OTOH I can't see having a prayer since they would need to try to out-score either AFC opponent.
The only way I see GB having a chance in the Superbowl would be Rogers having the game of his life.

But then went to 2 Super-bowl's with Denver winning one of them.
Brady has won 6 sb's plus has an outside shot at #7 this year.

GB could easily win next week if Rogers can stay on his feet long enough to get rid of the ball ... Tampa winning would still be an upset.
Brady may be used to playing in cold weather but the rest of the team is still from Tampa. Despite the heat-pipes in the field which keep it from REALLY being the rock like "frozen-tundra" of old, GB is still pretty freaking cold in winter and the Packers are used to it.

The ground-and-pound is starting to wake up for Tampa and the GB team usually falls asleep for a quarter, and a quarter is all Tommy and

I do give Tampa a MUCH better chance of giving KC/Buffalo a run for their money due to size especially on defense. GB would be over-matched by either on both lines.
