    notice i said top 5 of his generation, top 20 is no special accomplishment... brady isnt up there with the likes of a phleps, usain bolt, serena, or federer, you could go with either pacquaio or mayweather as a filler... i dont respect cheaters

    Garbage time made it look like Roethlisberger played better than he actually did.

    Wrong. The Steelers offense had no trouble moving the ball. He played very well.

    The problems were their inability to communicate defensively (NE victimized Keith Butler in his first game as D-coordinator) and missed opportunities to put points on the board.

    Really?

    You are going against the best QB of his generation who just had a 4 TD game with almost 80% completion, went for a franchise-record 19 straight completions, all at age 38?

    Forget for a moment that is Tom Brady.

    Any discussion about top 5 athletes of this generation without a quarterback is hard to have especially without one who is this great. The QB position itself is the the most scrutinized in all of professional sports.

    Idk, it was raining for most of the game. Maybe that dampened the fans' spirits?

    That's pretty easy to do when your coach's headset are being messed with in the first have.

    Tom is in the same vein as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemons, Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa.
    It does not MATTER what he does now . . ..

    He is forever Tom **ASTERICK** Brady

    Harden2Capela is Skyrimownsall.

    According to him, the greatest QBs of all time are (in order): Teddy Bridgewater (clear #1 without any debate), Ron Mexico (aka Mike Vick), and Geno Smith.

    not sure where you're going with that comment. By statistics, absolutely Bonds is one of the greatest ever. I guess you're equating Bonds' PED usage with Brady's football deflating?

    Brady, Clemens, Bonds, all the same. Great players who used morally odious means to achieve sustained success. Of course in Brady's case the lines are blurred since cheating seems to be an organizational philosophy.

    Rob Gronkowski:
    66 Games Played = 57 TDs
    Jason Witten:
    191 Games Played = 57 TDs
    Crazy!

    Gronk is the best TE, but comparing Witten & Gronk is not fair. Witten might go down as one of the best all around TE's in the history for catching, team character, blocking run & pass.

    Gronk plays a different role than Witten did/ does for the Cowboys. But no denying Gronk is the beast of all beasts.

    So you think Peyton will be okay with that if things start going south?

    That's what I meant by playing out.

    @markschlereth: Since postseason expanded to 12 teams in 1990, 53% of teams to start 1-0 reached the postseason while just 25% of teams starting 0-1 made it
