Yeah uhhh no

Dude had a first round bye 75% of his career. He had to win 1 playoff game to make the AFCCG every year, as the undisputed favorite basically every year.

If the Phins, Jets, and Bills weren't so goddamn pathetic that the Pats could waltz to 13 wins every year, even if they still won the division every year, that stat would look a lot different.

I don't say that to minimize in any way his success in the playoffs with NE or this year, but that "stat" is dumb.

At least 10 of those his defense carried him there

Like clockwork.

He is easily... very easily, in fact, the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Likely that ever will play in the NFL.

Peyton:
5x MVP
7x 1st Team All Pro
3x 2nd Team All Pro

Tom:
3x MVP
3x 1st Team All Pro
2x 2nd Team All Pro

Guarantee he'd have been out of the league with a quickness.

Watch the SB be a Bucs v Bills matchup. Poor Buffalo finally thought they had escaped Brady.

TB's team success this year isn't due to Brady's greatness.

I mean yes it is.

You're right. TB undoubtedly had great talent already - otherwise Brady wouldn't have chosen to go there - and Winston was able to throw 30+ TDs himself with that offense... but he also through 30+ INTs.

Of course Brady's talent helped make them better. As did his ability to make them better by recruiting Gronk and for his personal relationship with AB.

We are witnessing history that will likely never be matched. Brady's playoff numbers are just insane. 32 wins and counting, possibly 10 trips to Super Bowl, 12,000 yards passing and 80 TDs. That's just crazy - none of the other greats are even close to that.

I was thinking what have we seen as sports fans in the 21st Century that will likely never be topped. I came up with the following:

1. Michael Phelps winning 28 Olympic medals.
2. Tom Brady's NFL playoff totals.
3. Tiger Woods making over 140 straight cuts.

This season TB has by far the worst passing game left in the playoffs.

Like fricking clockwork with you mongoloids.

Yesterday it was the Saints have the best defense by far in the playoffs. Today, the Buccaneers can’t throw the ball.
