I really hate pete carrol, the falcons and dee ford for making it so that people can argue that brady is the GOAT. I would have loved to see brady go up against the defenses in the 80's with the rules from that time that montana and marino faced. He'd probably just do what he does nowadays - throw himself to the ground to avoid the other team putting his ass on the ground. I hope next season he breaks his hip while throwing himself to the ground to avoid a hit.

Pats have had plenty of good luck for sure. But flip side is the flukey catch by the Giants WR and the flukey performance by Nick Foles.
The one that pisses me off to this day is the tuck rule in the snow. Raiders had them beat. Jerry Rice was my favorite football player as a kid. Hated to see him lose that game in such a BS manner. And then the Pats turn into a dynasty after that. Who knows what would have happened if the tuck rule never bailed them out in the first place.
