tom brady was a game manager the first three rings
No he wasnt. Brady was a league leader in td passes in 02, then a top 3 MVP candidate in 03, then a guy who expanded his deep ball in 04, which led to him leading the league in passing yards in 2005. The Pats had a 21 game win streak from. 03-04. Their run game was 3rd worst in03. If he was a gam manager, then how were they producing offense?

I hate to admit it but this is all facts

As a Steelers Stan we had great teams during Brady’s prime. We rarely could beat him. I used to always dismiss him as a game manager until I looked up the numbers. He was really that nice

Much respect. If anyone would know, its the Steelers. Its a reason yall booed the hell out of him at SB40, for the SB MVP honoring ceremony. I dont see how anyone could watch Brady drop back 25 times in a row vs Pitts in the 02 season opener and dissect that great defense over and over, could doubt him. The 12/12 168 yd performance in the 4th qtr of the 2005 matchup at Heinz. The 04 AFC title game. All before 2006

He would simply carve us up to death. Negated our pass rush by getting rid of the ball quick. Great run after the catch by the pats receivers. All they needed was one defensive player to slip and it was a wrap

Then throw in an occasional trick play. :wow: Could not stand the pats but they were that fukking good.

Very well said. Brady also used to totally neutralize Troy. Who we all know, is one of the most dynamic and disruptive players to have ever played

The funny thing about Flacco is im like 99% sure he doesn’t really wanna play :mjlol:

Dude has his ring, made all the money was mentally checked out years ago and sitting on his couch.Teams calling him cause QB play is just so ass today. My man probably thought cool imma get a nice check to hold a clipboard, the problem is despite being washed 6 years ago he’s still better than at least 1/3 of the starters currently in the league :russ:

If the bengals can wake up, Tomlin might have some problems.

Steelers have 2x Bengals, 2x Ravens, Chiefs and Eagles on their schedule.

A regular 9-8 might be the realistic Steelers record, as the pre-season expectations indicated

Bengals got at least 3 more L's coming. I think they finish 8-9.

Steelers are winning the division. KC could be resting their starters by the time they play. They probably split with BMore, beat the Browns 2x, and beat the Bungles 2x.

Steelers go 13-4 or 12-5 at worst.
