NFL perpetual 2020 regular and postseason non Bears thread

Gonna be controversial if they let him back in this game. He was clearly concussed.

He was, though I'm not sure how. No helmet-to-helmet hit, and didn't look like he hit the ground that hard.

[Derwood]

Concussion confirmed

[OleMissCub]

BAHAHAHA nice arm punt, Henne

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Chad Henne’s a bitch

[Derwood]

How do you let Henne run for that?

[sweetpeteman]

Cleveland's defense is crap? If it wasn't for Henne gifting them an interception on the last drive, they would've given up at least a FG attempt.

What a garbage spot

Edit: actually a good spot

[Bertz]

It didn't end up mattering, but it is wild that in 2021 ball spotting is so arbitrary. I feel like that and clock starting/stopping could really use a technology facelift.

[Thurman Merman]

That was a ballsy call.

[NOLA]

Honestly really surprised, besides disappointed, that they’re playing the tomahawk chop in KC.

I thought the same.

Taysom Hill OUT for the Saints today due to a sore knee. The odds that that Sean Payton calls some ridiculous flea flicker play action pass when the offense is already rolling just went down significantly.

Welp.

Same horsefeathers the Bears ran against them last week but Wims dropped. I'm so pissed off right now!

[NOLA]

Saints are the better team. Don’t blow it.

[TomtheBombadil]

This is a pretty good game. Big stuff from Winfield Jr. on that last Saints drive

[NOLA]

Brees just isn’t even looking downfield.

Pick up Brady, POOF instant SB contention.

Someone much smarter than me will write an article breaking down the "Belichick System" myth. This year showed us that Belichick - Brady = meh while meh team + Brady = contender

I would say it shows us that going from Jameis throwing 30 picks to a competent QB turns you into a contender.

Plus didn’t the Pats have a few key opt outs on defense this year also?

Bray and Belichick are both great. If Brady stayed but Belichick retired, NE probably misses the playoffs also this year.

[ChiCubsFan]

Agree. TB definitely has a lot more talent than NE right now.

I’ll give Belichick another year. But it was not good. Especially how they ended the year. I’ve got to believe he’s a good coach, I just don’t know if he could rebuild a perennial contender at this stage in his career unless he wins the QB lottery again. We’ll see. You know he’s motivated to show he can win without Brady.

[soccer10k]

Even if you operate under the assumption that Brady now is better than Belichick now, it doesn’t mean it’s always been the case. The first three Super Bowls, Brady was good, but he wasn’t yet what he’d become. They won those more with defense than offense. Brady threw at least 12 picks each of his first 6 years. He’s done it 3 times in 13 years since. Three of his lowest 5 seasons by passing yards were the first three SB years.

I could just as easily say that it’s impressive that Belichick went 7-9 with QBs who threw 10 TDs in 16 games. Jameis would have been an upgrade over Cam Newton this year. The Pats probably wouldn’t have made the playoffs with Winston but part of that was 9-7 or 10-6 wouldn’t have made it in the AFC.

I don’t mean to take away from Brady. He’s one of the best couple QBs ever. We can debate where but if he’s not on your Mount Rushmore, you’re crazy. All I meant to say was let’s not go overboard and say Brady was more responsible for the Pats dynasty than Belichick because of this year. He might be more responsible. I just don’t think this year proves it.

It was a long-winded way of saying that someone will argue whether the Belichick System was really a plug-and-play thing that could win with whoever, or if the system requires Brady to make it go
