Don't be too upset Hammy you finished a close second to kid.
My NFL days go back to the late 50s.
And I'm familiar with the work of Roger going back to his Navy days and as dad was a Navy man I became a big fan of his in college and when he shipped out to Dallas.
But the thing is, Roger could run a 2 minute drill, but Tom had to run about a 25 minute drill from the middle of the 3rd qtr and into OT against the Falcons. It was a comeback so improbable as to be almost unthinkable
The deficit was so big and so daunting he had to be perfect, and he was, on the NFL's biggest stage against the best team in the NFC.
That he capitalized on mistakes is a strength not a weakness.
Its called being opportunistic.
And fwiw throwing out names means nothing to me.
Make an argument and back it up with facts you inarticulate dolt.
Polish rifle?
The one with the instructions that reads, "point this end out"?
or the Iggles QB?
LMAO
Sp, you basically have no counterargument to the FACT that Brady plays in an era which is soft on the QB, favors the offense completely, and rewards mediocrity.
Got it.
Nice attempt to insult other posters, your default mechanism when you realize you've overstated a case and have been shown to be wrong, though.
The problem with that, though, is that one would have to give a shit about what you think of one.
And most here really don't. Except for josh, who worries what everyone thinks of him, and the sensitive larry, who sees insults in every post that runs counter to his.
Your memory may go back the 1950's, but your ability to reason is stuck in your ten-year old mind, Howdy-Doody.
As for more facts, there are greater comebacks than the Brady-Atlanta comeback, in more difficult to play QB eras, with stakes that could be argued as being even higher than what your boy faced against Atlanta--Ask Frank Reich, down 32 points in the play-offs, wins. Reich also has the biggest comeback in college football, too, so he's another guy who could have done what Brady and his teammates did. And, he was a back-up QB, too.
Surely, your steel-trap like memory recalls Dec. 15, 1974 at Miami, when Earl Morrall led the Miami Dolphins in a 26 point comeback over the Patriots. Of course, Morall was just another back-up QB, and the Pats were trying to have a winning season, at the time---not to be, though. Thanks, Earl!
If you want someone from this era, consider asking Andrew Luck, when he gets up.
Of course those comebacks were at home, and not on the road.
One of the best comebacks of all time came from Roger the Dodger, on the road in SF, a very difficult place to play, and in the divisional play-offs. December 1972.
Here, you can watch it:
