So what happened in 2007? Tommy took the "greatest team ever" to battle vs a much, much weaker team than this Eagles squad. Brady scored twice. Here are the rest of his possessions:
3 and out.
3 and out (-14 yds).
Fumble.
Turnover on downs.
Punt.
Punt.
Turnover on downs (-10 yds).
1 TD, 5 sacks, 5.5 avg.
You'd think a GOAT, armed with the greatest team ever assembled, would find a way to beat an average Giants team. Especially when his defense shut down their offense.
A few years later, Brady got a chance to redeem himself, facing an even weaker Giants team (that barely slipped into the playoffs). Surely he didn't piss down his leg in the rematch, right?
Why didn't His GOATness make the playoffs in '02? Why couldn't he overcome getting beaten down in the wildcard/divisional rounds 4 times? Mahomes' earliest loss is in OT of the AFC title game.
Why did the GOAT get smacked around by QBs like Jake Plummer, Nick Foles, Mark Sanchez, Ryan Tannehill, Joe Flacco (twice), and swept by Eli Manning?
Explain.
