to a degree it is but no broncos qb should be in the conversation
Consecutive back to backs would be the Buffalo Bills.

Welcome to the Offseason. At least we're talking about relevant football teams. We could be talking about how Johnny Manziel is an alcoholic and probably a crackhead and Mech Bayless was 100% right on him.
And we also will never have Brady-Manning arguments again. I think Tom effectively closed the book on that one.
For the majority of the world it's closed, and for a lot of them it's been closed for a while.

It was a combo effort between Manning and Brady.
Manning shitting the bed hard in last year's Super Bowl really didn't help his case.

it's gonna be funny when Manning loses in the wildcard round next year we all know Pats and Ravens are getting the number 1 and 2 seed

then the bills would be the only team in NFL history to complete consecutive back to back superbowl appearances.... which i don't think is what he meant!
Bof.
The only tight end in the history of the game that was better, was Benjamin Coates.

As long as we can agree that Bart Starr was better than both of them!

Not if his knee explodes tomorrow and he has to retire! But if he can stay healthy and play another ~5 years at a similar level, I have no problem with that argument. If Brady retires soon and Jimmy sucks it up that's not going to help though.
He's in his prime and he has a great qb throwing to him. I think Randy if he spent his career a patriot or with Manning or whoever else had a legitimate shot at Jerry's record. Same can be said for Tony G in terms of great TE, but Gronk is just so dominant he stands somewhat alone. That being said Kellen Winslow lookin at his stats was ridiculously dominant, but just couldn't stay on the field. That could easily become Gronk, but having a ring and already racing up the all time TD list definitely helps his case.

Don't worry, my friends here told me Tom is just a system QB, and not a very good one at that, so Jimmy will probably win every Super Bowl ever.
Agreed. You better hope Brady has Favre-like lasting power in his old age or that Jimmy turns out to be pretty good though, if you want Gronk's production to stay consistent.
He might! We'll never know until Brady is gone though.

It's like Butler ran the route better than Lockette.

Butler's better.
It was a combination of things. Kearse, Russell and Lockette all could have done things better, and Butler was 100% sold out on that play, so he's lucky he made the right decision, but can't do anything but give him props for making the correct split second decision and making the play.
No. Well, not yet anyway. It's in play though.

Come on friend, if we continue for a couple of hours we can have every position settled by tomorrow.
We already got QB, HC, TE and WR (Moss)
Why that is my good friend, Ty Law.

His signature play is getting shit on by Randall Moss and then playing it off like he was hurt like a bitch.
So no

I already was
Brady is so far playing better than Favre was into his late 30s, with the exception of his one magic season in Minnesota he's nowhere near Brady level of staying power. I'm hoping though, anything can happen which is why it's been even harder watching the pats get so close the past few years, but ultimately fall short, knowing that window is closing. I'm loving it while I can, and I will always look back fondly like I'm sure Elway and Montana fans do
. Sports pressure/fandom is relevant. A loss like this is certainly tough for hawks fans, but they are so young, especially their major players across the board. It goes deeper than age though. it hurts the Celts lost to the lakers in the rematch with the recent big 3, but ultimately I think Paul Pierce getting his 1 ring is great. It was great to see it, but I wouldn't have been devastated if he didn't get one, he's not one of the GOAT. he was a great celtic and he brought some good years to the celts. The last few years of patriots fandom was a combination of tough things. The window closing, 18-1, getting there again to make up for it, but still falling short, the torn ACL, the playoff losses, etc. It will be different next time around, unless Jimmy G turns out to be Tom's Steve Young, which obviously he will.

Bledsoe, Parcells, and Coates, I assume.
then who was bread?
lol not from what I've seen. That being said, his best year was a thing of beauty. I hated that the jets had him.
Who was names?

I think Wienke Accquired the throne.
Montana, Walsh, potentially Gronk, and Rice.

No offense, but you do know why the trophy is called the Lombardi, right?
also, the Gronk talk is almost as premature as the HoFinley talk!

Not gonna lie your boy Gronk is a fucking monster.

I was gonna say something disrespectful about Finley, but can't because my main man Greg might read it.
I can respect the argument for Lombardi for sure. I think that just comes down to whether you think relevance to/influence on the current era is something to consider.

That dog knows Jay Cutler is gonna throw him his ball....
I said that if the Pats won the super bowl I would support gata in his quest to be king. I officially am on team gata, he is the king we need and deserve.

Packs fans are about to tell us about the 89 high school championships they won before black people were introduced to Wisconsin.
