    The Tom Brady Thread

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Dick Johnson, Sep 12, 2021.

    He's 44 years old.

    In the first game of the NFL season, he threw four touchdown passes and led his team on a game-winning drive. Tampa kicked a field goal with only second remaining.

    Quite amazing.

    He threw for five touchdown passes today. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off, but he keeps on going.

    You have to pressure him up the middle with the front four. That's it. Same thing the Giants did in the Superbowl losses, the Broncos in the conference losses, and the Jets under Rex Ryan. That's it. Blitz him and you're dead. Sit back in zone and you're double dead. Much easier said than done, though.

    I'm guessing that Tom will throw for fifty touchdowns this season. He's got all kinds of weapons around him.

    Well, he's on pace for what? 76.5... he can slow down a bit and still hit 50. Never bet against Brady.

    411 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions this Sunday. Not too shabby for an old-timer.

    Yeah, who needs Gronk when you've got Evans, Goodwin, and Antonio Brown, right?

    Got to say that I'm stoked for the Mac Jones era up here in NE. It ain't gonna happen this year, but he's smart, fearless, and tough as nails. Doesn't look like a rookie at all.

    And speaking of which, what a perfect day for a Boston sports fan! Patriots win at 1pm, Red Sox will a batshit crazy 13 inning playoff game at 4pm, Chiefs vs Bills in the Sunday night game. Doesn't get any better than that!

    Brady just became the first QB in NFL history to throw for 600 TDs.

    I still remember his first. Terry Glenn on a corner route. I remember thinking, damn, he's younger than me! I had just turned 23.

    Just right of center.
    Mentioned on tonight's broadcast: Tom Brady has never thrown a Hail Mary pass.

    Remember the days when George Blanda was considered an old man at 34?

    Heh, heh -- you mean "Inflategate"? Many people (myself included) believe that Brady knew about the cheating, and may have been instrumental in causing it to happen, but he has never admitted to it and there's no proof.

    Yep. Not to mention Y. A. Tittle. He was 34 when he was traded to the NY Giants. He was considered to be washed up, but he went on to set a bucketload of records, and lead the Giants to three conference championships in four years.

    We never needed one, I guess. Helps to win 80% of your games, most em by a good margin.

    Saints always play the Bucs hard.
