Brady loses in the divisional round last year with an average defence.
- Pegullaville

That’s fine. Probably true. Who’s denying it?

Which one of us is saying defense doesn’t matter?

Am I missing some giant crux of this debate?

You consistently bring up average QB’s being able to win the SB yet they rarely ever do. That’s the debate here

Well I just got back from reffing a pre season ECHL game and this is still going on?

When does the puck drop?

- Stripes77

In here it did and there was a line brawl to start the game.

Of course I hate fighting so I hid in the corner.

On that report that Eichel was close to getting moved...

I don't believe it. If it was close they would keep working on it. It wouldn't just fall apart. Both teams would have to have the frame work done for it to be considered close, both teams would what each team needs and won't give up.

Sounds like agents/teams are leaking info again to try to get Adams to budge.

Brady sucked in the divisional round and NFC Championship game.

And you wonder why I don’t take you guys seriously because you throw career accolades around to describe singular seasons.

The Buccaneers made the SB despite Brady

On of your posts almost made me choke from laughing!

This whole discussion is like pre-season hockey, it gives us something to talk about but it doesn't matter.

And you guys use career accolades despite many HOF passers winning SB’s with Average passing seasons.

- Pegullaville

he had a 93 passer rating vs the 4th best D in the divisional round which is what an average qb gets in a season

remember allen is not a top 5 qb because in 4 of his 5 games, the bills already won and other qb's had to throw for over 100 yards in each 4th quarter because they were losing or the game was tight

I won't buy it until it happens or until the leaks start happening with actual names and the word imminent being used by legitimate sources.

I am going to miss Rj. And I know he’s past it. But it’s Rj. I hope the kids at least give him a chance to make a few more great calls…

Exactly. It's time. And like you said, just give him some decent hockey to call this year.

Do yo remember Brady's easy schedule for 19 years because he played the Bills/Jets/Dolphins 6 times a season?

Wonder if they'll hold off on his gold jacket because of it

1- Vegas

3- ducks
4- sharks
5- flames

I haven't heard anything about San Jose. I did hear those damn Rags are still trying to buy low. And Minnesota are still a wild card. My guy has never gotten ANYTHING right though, EVER. So, you know, grain of salt and stuff.
FWIW, he thinks Vegas or Calgary get Eichel.

Sharks have come in late …. William Eklund guy being talked about.

But your list is right. It’s been about the same all summer.
