Let's play a game.
How long will Brady keep playing until? Dead serious. 45? 46? ....when will this ever end? It seems like well see this forever and ever and ever.... I have no clue.
And how many rings will he have when he retires according to you (BBI member reading this thread?)

Speaking of infesting this site...
But the reason Brady will be able to play for several more years is because Dante Scarnecchia coaches up a line that gives him incredible protection, and Belichick/McDaniels have devised offensive schemes that rely on Brady's strengths of quick short-to-intermediate routes.
Brady just dropped back 125 times in the postseason and was sacked just once against teams that average sacking the QB on 7.6% of drop backs.
The Patriots have done an incredible job protecting Brady and playing to his strengths-- but that's what the Patriots do. They play to their strengths.
I don't care how great Brady is, he would not have had this success if he played behind the Giants line the last 8 years.
Next year, he could fall out of the top 10. I can't see him playing more than one or two more years. At 44, he'd be a liability.

Tom Brady was pressured on just 5 of his 36 dropbacks last night (14%).
It was the lowest pressure rate for a QB in a Super Bowl since Drew Brees in SB XLIV (13% vs Colts) and Brady's lowest ever in a Super Bowl.
It's unbelievable how great the Patriots offensive line is at scheming and protecting Brady game in and game out over the course of his career. Belichick/Scarnecchia is a ridiculous combination.
That's really how close it is.
An unforced error basically cost the Chiefs a Super Bowl appearance.
I think hell play three more years with the hope he closes it out with a super bowl in his birth state (California)

Id like to know what game ESPN was watching because I saw Brady under pressure more than five times.
If he's smart, he'll retire this off-season.
He's not that smart. IMO he'll show considerable decline in his game over 2019, and won't win another SB.

Lol @ this. He's the GOAT. Anyone betting against him does so out of a childish hatred for his achievement.
6 SBs and 9 appearances the 3 last ones. Winning 2 of the last 3.
Appearing in 4 of the last 5 and winning 3 of the last 5.
Let's look at it in a different way. Only 3 QBs in the history of the NFL have more titles in their CAREER than Brady has had in the last 3 years.
What kind of insanity does it take to speak confidently that this man won't win another title?

On the other hand, Brady just won a SB with virtually zero vertical game. And thats not because he cant throw deep anymore. Its because they have no vertical talent. Once Gordon was suspended, they really morphed into a smash-mouth running team, as well as a predominant short passing team.
I dont overrate Edelman. So with a broken down Gronk, and C+ receivers like Hogan, Dorsett, Patterson, this may be the least impressive cast of playmakers to ever win a SB.
Thats why this SB is so impressive. They did so much more with so much less.
I wouldnt count Brady out just yet if Belichick reloads with more receiving talent.
It is at all possible that both defenses played extremely well and that was the difference vs the QBs playing like shit??
