The Pats dynasty is most likely coming to an end pretty soon(unless they get someone in the draft who can be the next Brady), I just think that after a GOAT career it would be the icing on the cake to see Brady hoist the trophy one last time, and then just walk away.
What do you think? If the Pats win it all, should Brady go ahead and call it quits, and leave at the top of his game?

Just read an article over on CBS Sports that Belichek plans on staying with the Pats for "a long time". If coach B is planning on staying (it looked like he was also planning on stepping down), and Brady can keep himself healthy, then for another few years the Pats might be able to keep performing at this level.
I don't WANT to see Brady leave. The past 16 years or so have been amazing, and the thought of that coming to an end really stinks, but having watched so many elite athletes keep going when they should have stopped has tempered me a bit on the cautious side.
If Brady and BB have another few years in them, that would seriously be amazing. I just hope that during that time, they are really thinking about building to the future as well.
Hopefully Brady can hold off on his riding-into-the-sunset season for a few more years.

On another note, I wonder what coach B's statement means to Josh McDaniels. It looked like he was turning down other offers with the thought of taking over the head coaching job of the Pats.

It very much surprised me, when the Pats traded away both Garoppolo and Brissett.
I think that that was a bonehead move.

Garoppolo was the heir apparent.
However, it would have apparently cost too much to keep him.

Garoppolo ended up signing a $137.5M/5yr deal.
IMO, it's going to hurt us in the end. We should have kept Garoppolo.


We could not have kept Garoppolo without dumping Brady. It really is as simple as that.

Rams!!!!! Holding on and fighting here. Lets go Rams!!!!!!!!
If I can get spared two weeks of hearing "who dat" I will.....

On a side note, Pats can do the same things the Rams do on offense.....keep the play calling balanced with the run and short passes.

I know three truths heading in:

1. you don't win titles without beating other good teams.
2. I would never bet against Belichick and Brady.
3. Tom is a homicidally-competitive serial killer.

Saints vs. Pats would be awesome from the fanbases to the QBs
but still, I'd rather watch Cooks disappear
Go Goff go!

Saints have had enough breaks in the past, they murdered Favre to get to the SB 10 years ago and won the SB due to an onside kick that changed the games momentum.

I hope they lose.

Big non-call but there have been non-calls in both directions. Rams would have scored a TD on the previous possession if a face mask penalty had been called.

Last time the Saints hosted the title game at home, they beat the Vikings in OT......

The OT call was the right call.
