Francessa about Eli @ 4pm

Alan in Toledo : 9/19/2019 4:22 pm
Very warm talk. Said Eli "changed the face of the NFL" (as I remember) by beating Brady/Belichick with two 4th quarter comebacks that, according to Mike, put Brady's GOAT status in doubt.

Who knew?
As highly as the Pats, Brady, and BB are viewed

Can you just imagine if they had two more SB wins and an undefeated season added to their legacy?

They could easily be 0-9 in the SB or 9-0. It's amazing that last year was their biggest win 13-3. And that was nip and tuck.

They are the toughest team/organization I have ever seen in professional sports.
Nice to hear

but how does Eli beating Brady do anything for Brady's GOAT status... The Pats Defense let the Giants score late for the SB win in 07. The Pats, with a banged up Gronk and less than great play from the Oline, couldn't stop the Giants from roughing up Brady for the SB win in 2011...

That does nothing against Brady's legacy.
Mike is dug in on Brady/Belichick not being GOATs

because they lost Super Bowls. In his mind Noll/Bradshaw going 4-0 would be better than Belichick/Brady going 25-3. It's one of the many things that reveals Mike's stubbornness and fragile ego.
Yeah it’s a weird stance to take

They’ve been to eight fucking Super Bowls, working on nine. They’re the best.

Thanks for providing today's dumbest thing ever said on BBI. Let make sure I have this straight.

The 18-0 NE Patriots leading by 4 points with less than a minute play let the Giants score on purpose.

That's hilarious. You're the best.
I think he means that it was the Pats' defense  
CT Charlie : 9/19/2019 4:41 pm : link
that allowed the late score. Not much Brady could do with 30 seconds left. Of course, Brady had 59 minutes before that to do his GOAT thing...

In BB's tenure, they've been to nine.
New England got two gifts, the Oakland/ Brady no fumble

and an interception on the one yard line Seattle. NE should have gone to one less Super bowl and lost another except for stupidity

I think you can add Atlanta on that list.
Bellichick has been on the sideline of about 1 out of every 3

Without Coughlin, Eli and the Giants, there is a good chance there is no 10-year gap for the Patriots between 2004 and 2014. Yes AFC teams played a role in that, but when they got to the dance, the Giants said Nyet.

Giants fans talk up the Patriots more than any other fanbase.

Even Pats fans don't suck BBs nads quite like you guys.

I love montana and hate him all the same. But GMen knocked him out of the playoffs TWICE.

He's a small guy. Can get beat up. VS Brady--it's Brady Brady Brady.
