It seems that Brady is a QB on the decline. His best days are behind him.

These replacement officials got to go. They are determining the outcome of the games. There is no way Green Bay should have lost on that bad call at the end of the game last night.

Lets not jump to conclusions. Brady passed for over 5,000 yards last season with 39 TD passes and a rating of 105.6, only one QB in the league was better. These were record breaking numbers. I don't believe Brady is part of the Patriots problem of closing out games, it's more defense than anything else.

Don't get me wrong - he is still a great QB. But I would still insist that his best days are behind him.

Were you saying that last season too?

My husband is enjoying the sweet tears of Packers fans today. Though admits they totally got screwed.

Screwed is putting it nicely.

That was last season. Just like Peyton. Their best days are behind. The already accomplished a lot.

It is like "Affirmative Action" Giving a job to someone that otherwise is not qualified. Liberals should like them.

This isn't a politics thread. Don't try to turn it into one.

The employer locked out the best qualified people for the job during a labor dispute. Then they hired the next best guy's available. There's no better football referee's out there looking for employment.

I don't see affirmitive action here. When all is said and done, I won't be surprised if there's a better analogy with Reagan and the air traffic controllers.

The next best guys are doing thier utmost but they are not capable of doing the job at the NFL level. The owners need to start getting talks going or more and more games will get decided by the umpires instead of by the players.

That's what you got from my statement? Interesting.
