NFL GDT: 2019 AFC Wild Card Round: (3) New England Patriots vs (6) Tennessee Titans - Tennessee wins 20-13

Back in NE or back in general? Can't see him retiring unless Gisele has a hook around his neck, but OTOH I can't see too many soft landing spots if he leaves NE either.

Chargers or Dolphins, imo. If I were to guess between the two, I would say Chargers. Elway will offer the most money though

Tom will be back but probably with another team.
I am sure teams who are ready for a good run will be in dire need of his services.

As for Bill, as a Giants fan second....I hope he comes back to New York lol.

If Belichick says he doesn’t want to re-sign Brady, I wonder what happens if Brady goes to Kraft and says he wants to stay a Patriot. Does Kraft step in and force things? Does that send Belichick for the door? Does Kraft defer to Belichick?

Or does Belichick look at his draft position and the free agent/trade market and try to bring Brady back because plan B is a sure step backwards?

Colts, Raiders, Panthers, could also make some sense...could the Cowboys let Dak walk and bring in Tom? Could Arians cut bait with Jameis?

 

[Melrose Munch]

uh huh sure, whatever you say, must've missed all the Superbowl's bellicheck won before brady...

2 with the giants

Don't think Brady will feel like dealing with Jerry Jones doing radio hits talking about him. Same with Irsay.

I say LA Chargers (because he still lives in California), or Miami (because he knows the coaching staff, and because he'll get more chances to stick it to Belichick). Also both are warm. I'll make the Raiders a dark horse, maybe Tampa is the most likely NFC team. You look around, the Chargers are the safest bet to make him look good, they have weapons on offense and a good defense. He'll leave some money (specifically from Elway) on the table to play for what he feels is a better team.

That Chargers line will do him no favors

That can be worked on.

Possibly, though they haven't done it for Rivers

The Chargers do make a lot of sense on paper, but will Spanos actually spend the money?

He will. What else would he do, bring back Rivers? That would be a nice gem to open the new stadium with.

as a head coach, i meant. Pats about to become average as hell soon as Brady leaves.

This conversation is beyond sad to me. He could have gone to SF in 2016 and won and still have been on a good team last year and this year. Now he's being forced into retirement (that's what playing for LAC is effectively.)

Maybe he will show how truly great he is and head north to add a half dozen Grey cups to his resume

When you've won 3 (more) Super Bowls, you're not staying up at night thinking about what could've been.

Oh god please no.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Kind of appropriate that the Pats lost a minute on the clock with the delay of game stuff with 6 minutes to go when they were the ones to exploit this rule in a blowout game up 33 to the Jets.

What goes around comes around. Patriots like to cheat at every opportunity, so no pity from me when someone exploits the rules against them.

Fair enough but going up against KC everyear and probably Las Vegas when they replace Carr? Or rounding on the Rams (chokers) and Arizona for at least 2-3 years? Yes the pats won, but now it's close to over at the very least.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Not that I feel bad for the Pats or Brady or any of those guys but I wouldn't blame Brady if he moved on, he gave the Pats a lot of years without holding them up for huge contracts or things like that, I think this was the first year he cracked 20 mil in a season, yeah he has made a ton of money still but he was worth far more, maybe if Big Ben had been as generous the Steelers could have paid Lev Bell or some other guys that could have been useful but that wasn't how he operated

 

[c9777666]

Pats are a different team in January without the bye. (3-4 playoff record in Brady/BB era when they aren’t a top 2 seed

They really needed that week off.

 

[DougieSmash]

Titans wins this game with 72 yards of passing. Let that sink in.

Both teams are definition of mediocrity

 

[Ncit3]

Guess the Pats are human when they aren't recording every practice and know all the signals.

Beginning of the end. Thank god.

 

[V13]

The lack of offense and finish in the red zone burned the Pats. It was an issue during the season and yesterday as well. The WR are very average and so are the TE.

Put a Cooks , Amendola , Gronk and hell even Hogan on that team and the results may have been different. Sanu/Watson/Dorsett/Lacosse etc just cant cut it. Losing both Gordon and Brown hurt them as well

 

[max21]

I saw some Patriots fans say they can’t wait to not watch the super bowl, lmao what a bunch of sore losers. I think Brady is great but I sure am sick of seeing them win, I’m glad it’s over.

It’s the same thing a lot of other fans do in every sport
