something to consider:

both Marques V-S and Lazard for GB did very little their first three years in the NFL

now key contributors on a No. 1 seed team / excellent offense

something it just takes time

Brady is rewriting BA’s postseason legacy. CP was a lousy big game QB, but look at the difference with the GOAT. Having Todd Bowles coaching that D is a huge boost too.

irony

BA wastes a key 2nd TO by not knowing if he would go for it on 4-3 at the Packers 45

then, after picking it up -- he uses (correctly) his last TO to stop the clock.

with no TOs left, GB must have been thinking short and sidelines

Brady deep for the TD


all that being said: What was GBs DC thinking?
Great question. Absolutely unacceptable to allow the receiver to run by him. And there is no reason whatsoever to be looking in the backfield there.

I was rooting for GB because I dont like ex cardinals doing well but having BA winning and going to the SB would be a big FU to the Cardinals brass for not trying everything to keep him from "retiring".

Someone want to tell me that Brady is really just a system QB and isn’t great?

dude is the GOAT. anyone who even tries to argue otherwise at this point is drinking drano.

100% and their are so many posters on this board over the years that have said it was all the system and Belichik... Making constant statements like if he was on any other team he’d suck etc etc....

Yet they are all super quiet now... lol
