re: Something lost in the fray- the awareness and ability of Tom Brady

This is why you always take a defense led by an elite pass rush over one led by an elite secondary.

Like, Seattle had a great defense in 2013 and 2014, and even this year. But when your domination is mainly from your back 7, the best quarterbacks in this league still have a shot to beat you. For example, Brady last year in the Super Bowl and Cam this year against Seattle.

Flash forward to this year, Brady and Cam were pretty much helpless and doing everything they could just to avoid getting sacked on every play against Denver. Obviously, Denver has very good cornerbacks, but their defense is certainly driven by that pass rush.
