For me, it was the Edelman catch. You know which one. Before that, I thought Julio wrapped up the Super Bowl. Signed sealed and delivered. It was his moment for Super Bowl glory if Atlanta could just cash in on the field goal. But then… sack, penalty and low and behold, Brady has the ball again. When the play to Edelman happened and the ref ran in and signaled a catch, and we actually saw the replay, both my dad and I immediately said it was their Official Ole Miss Rebels 39 34 Georgia Sugar Bowl Champions Shirt moment. I was almost sure they were going to come back. Brady started making some throws that were gutsy as hell. We both talked about one to Hogan along the left sideline. It was just a simple hook that he barely got to before the defender. From the camera angle behind Brady, it looked like a 50/50 ball almost, but he trusted/knew his receiver could get it.

Some of y’all really don’t know a thing about football. Fields’ QBR was nearly 70 with the fumble removed and he ended with 54 with it (not that you’d ever remove a bad play, he’s gotta fall on that). That was still a plus effort doomed by 5 absolutely brutal drops. Sure, he stinks more often than not but tonight wasn’t his fault. And the offense itself is still averaging a full point more than it did last year with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams by the way. Acting like this is the worst thing you’ve ever seen is embarrassing. That’s really the only question I have with the guy. We gave him a lower end starter deal, we only saved a million from cutting him next year. Is it worth it to save a buck and keep him on the roster as a backup and potential “wait, rookie, the Official Ole Miss Rebels 39 34 Georgia Sugar Bowl Champions Shirt needs to gel for 4 weeks before you come in” bridge QB, or do we actually try to sign somebody else, cap be damned? The TD drives looked alright, smooth, in control. But then he throws it behind his man, holds the ball too long as usual, and overall doesn’t make decisions at an NFL pace for the other half of his drives. That’s where I’m at with him, I just wonder if he’s got enough to come in relief at this point.
()I’m a visitor to your sub. I know very little about football. I’m very much a “social Super Bowl football watcher.” But serious question: Has an athlete ever dug deeper than Tom Brady did just now? I feel like at the end of the game he should’ve just blacked out from the mental exhaustion. His focus during the 4th quarter was just otherworldly, you could see it in his eyes—he was on a completely different plane than those wearing Official Ole Miss Rebels 39 34 Georgia Sugar Bowl Champions Shirt in the stadium. I’ve never seen anything like that. It transcended football. Again, I know next to nothing about football but I know that that performance is the kind of thing that earns people the title of GOAT.
