Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

That game was funny to watch. Dak Prescott is a known Playoff choker, but he had the best game of his life and Brady couldn’t handle the Cowboys defense. [Reply]

Final pass attempt in New England was a Pick 6 to seal the Playoff loss.

Jesus Christ. He has over half his career left to go. Anybody declaring anything completely over at this point needs a lobotomy.
This is true.
So let me clarify.
This loss set him back. A LOT.
If he ever wants to be considered the GOAT over Brady, then he has two issues lingering.
Three actually.
The fact that Tom has 7 rings
The fact that Tom beat Pat twice. When it mattered. In his 40's.
The fact that Tom won SB's on two teams.
Ok so that's like four issues.
If Pat had 3peated then you could legit start making the case that Pat could be the GOAT, and if he got 5 rings then almost without question. A 3peat and 5 rings = GOAT IMO
But here's what Pat has to do in order to pass Tom...
Either have an undeafted season - which Tom couldn't do
A 3peat which Tom couldn't do
Get 8 rings - Which tom couldn't do
But the point is he has to do SOMETHING Tom could not do.
He could also get 4 rings in 5 years, and that is something Tom couldn't do either.
So he's got a few paths but they are ALL ridiculously hard. [Reply]

I think 6 rings and better stats could do it. [Reply]
Flame away. I don’t care. I’m putting it on the board.
Patrick’s going to go all out for a perfect season before his career is done. He’s already had five seasons where he hasn’t lost a regular season game by more than one score. He’s already had three where he hasn’t lost a regular season or playoff game by more than one score.
Missing a perfect season was Brady’s biggest regret of his career, he even admits he’d trade two of his championships to have won against the Giants. Patrick knows this, and I believe he’s going to go for the achievement that will undoubtably put his legacy in our league’s hallowed ground forever. [Reply]
Funny thing is the pick 6 probably increased New England's chances to win that particular playoff game especially considering the Patriots woeful receiving core during that game/season.
Given the Patriots truly terrible receiving options that day and Titans leading by 1 point...I'd rather be down 8 with at least a kickoff return left to score under the old kickoff return rules than have to go down 60 yards to kick a FG to win the game with only 15 seconds left to start the play from my own 1.
Throwing to Sanu from the 1 to the 10 yard line with just around 12 seconds left in the game when Brady threw the ball made no sense unless his purpose was simply trying to reward Sanu for playing hurt....so that Sanu could have been Brady's last completion in New England... a part of piece of trivia. Maybe some elaborate lateral play but players don't even seem positioned for that.
I'm curious since Brady played like almost a win at all costs robot over 99% of the time.
But I can't sit here and say Brady tried to throw a deflected pick 6 to setup a possible TD kickoff return and 2 point conversion since he is truly crazy good if he was good enough to throw a deflected pick and fool the Titans that he wasn't trying to just throw a pick to setup a kickoff return. Not even Brady is that good. .
If I'm Vrabel who was the Tennessee coach, I literally tell my players to not take an interception to the house. [Reply]
