9.5? After the Jags performance against the Steelers I think we are in trouble.
And Brady hurt his throwing hand in yesterday's practice. Even CNN was reporting it and when CNN reports something on the Pats...you know it's more than the usual sports talk! Adversity man, but this year it's internal stuff and now physical stuff which both are things they've never dealt with before.
And you know that the Jags' president is Tom Cuoughlin, the only coach who's ever beaten the Pats in the superbowl TWICE with the filthy dreaded New York Giants. You know he's gonna be telling the Jags players to attack Brady in the pocket since that's the blueprint to beating them and what the Giants did in those 2 SBs.
WEEI and THE HUB are both predicting a blowout by the Pats. Not sure how they came up with that but if you think about it, you have 4 QBs left:
Blake Bortles
Nick Foles
Case Keenum
Tom Brady
Really? No-names, really, and then the GOAT lol!
Pats have to get past the Jaguars first I understand, but what a matchup it would be if it were to be a Tom Brady / Drew Breese super bowl had the Saints not botched that last incredible play in that Minnesota game? Much more interesting IMO.
Success of Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, Nick Foles won’t end quest for elite QBs
Then the GIANT among men.
If these NFL playoffs have taught us one thing, it’s that you don’t necessarily need a franchise-caliber quarterback to compete for a championship. Although the only elite quarterback left in the tournament might be the one to raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the other three in Sunday’s conference title games offer a glimmer of hope for getting there.
Even if Tom Brady — he of the five rings — gets the Patriots to Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII, there will be a wildly unexpected quarterback facing him. The winner of the Case Keenum-Nick Foles matchup in Philadelphia will have a shot at winning it all Feb. 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
If either of those two, or Blake Bortles in the event the Jaguars pull off a monumental upset of the Patriots, wins the Super Bowl, it would be the first time in 15 years that an unheralded quarterback did that. (Brady reportedly jammed his throwing hand at practice Wednesday when a teammate accidentally ran into him, and Bortles’ chances will improve if Brady isn’t 100 percent.)
