At what?

The only thing Tom Brady is better than Mahomes at is encouraging his defense and persuading the refs.

Frankly, that might mean he's better than Mahomes in general since those seem to be the most essential skills required to win Super Bowls.

Passing the football.

Quarterbacking in the NFL.

Dude, if the NFL didn't gift-wrap that SB vs the Rams for Brady, we would've beat them in AFCCG and beat the Rams.

That would mean, at this point, Mahomes would've beat Brady twice in the postseason, once in the Super Bowl and would have 3 straight SBs.

Then Brady wouldn't be the GOAT, and it wouldn't even be a debate :

Mahomes would've been 2-0 vs Brady in the postseason and would have 3 Super Bowls to Brady's 5 in Mahomes' 1st 3 years as a starter.

The Shield just can't have that shit. They have too much invested in Brady's "greatness".

Yep so much invested in it that they suspended him for 4 games for something that didn't happen and spent a full year dragging his name through the mud. They argued in court it didn't matter there was no evidence of wrongdoing, they can do whatever they want to whomever they want and need no evidence or justification for doing so. There's documentaries out showing how they deliberately leaked false info to the media to spread a false narrative before and during the events in question. But yep, they sure do love Brady, and him continuing to win is such a good look that definitely increases viewer interest and sales, just look at the merchandise and ratings trends...

Do these dumbass owners still chase after Patriot Way coaches & office people. Poor Texans

Better quadruple down then be seen as scammed by two decades of snake oil

I don't care about Mahomes chasing Brady. At all.

Mahomes will win multiple Superbowls by the time it's all said and done, and as fans of this franchise we probably won't see anything like this in our lifetime ever again.

I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

Yep.

That's the shitty thing about Brady and all the slanted stats coming to light...

It's pretty obvious if the NFL wants you to win...you will. This SB was something else....I've watched every SB with the exception of the Rams/Patriots and have never seen a shitshow spectacle like this. The Falcons throwing the game was what I thought couldn't be topped..

So how does this affect fans going forward..."yay, they let Mahomes win this time?" or "I cant wait to see how the officials call this weekend's game, the suspense is killing me"

Who gives a shit if it's just a dog-n-pony show...

Meh...this game did more damage to the NFLs reputation than it gained by pimping Brady having 7 rings. It's lost what little value it had left with me...who cares who they draft when the officials can just neutralize any advantage at will.

Not to get too political...but maybe that was the play...devalue the most American tradition this country has... in preparation for the "great reset".

Yep makes sense! I 100% agree with the points in bold. Now personally I believe that teams have discrepancies in penalties called based on discrepancies in actions, that you can in fact just not commit penalties, and if your grousing is regarding the fact that "holding could be called on every play", maybe, you know, stop holding on every play.

Accordingly, I believe the discrepancies in penalties associated with Brady and the teams he is on are due in no small part because of the following:
1) Brady is always on a team where penalties are a significant point of emphasis, and both personally and via peer coaching actively works to eliminate penalties from his team. They don't just play and hope not to get flagged.
2) Brady has supreme vision of the field and accordingly throws the ball to or in the area of a receiver who gets interfered with, so as to draw DPI calls
3) Brady also targets those who just beat their opponent and the opponent will often interfere rather than give up the TD, a tactical decision but one that affects relative penalty rates

Now I would be happy to dig into and dissect any of the penalty calls or non-calls from the latest SB, but you won't believe anything that I say in regards to them anyway, your mind like many here is firmly set. I will say, if you believe as you say, I agree. If it's all determined by the refs, a scripted dog and pony show, then it just doesn't matter. None of it. If I believed as you do, I certainly wouldn't be watching, or posting about it on a forum, or anything like that.

I'm currently arguing about this with my asshole FIL, who apparently is convinced that everything in the NFL is 110% above board and anybody who says otherwise is just whining.

At least he's not nearly as annoying in texts as he is in person. :-)
[Reply]

Like I said before games aren't "rigged", but they are 100 percent no doubt steered a certain direction.

Fucking obvious what direction the Superbowl was steered. I'm renaming it Superfarce 2

Still crying about the better team winning I see.
