...that the Oilers coughing up a multi-touchdown lead to the Bills is no longer the biggest choke-joke in NFL history. At least I've got that going for me.

That isn't true on a pure score level

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

I have this feeling that this is the apex moment of Brady and the Patriots and they don't reach this height again. The Raiders and Cowboys are at the beginning of a talent run. I seriously don't know about next year ( I think they'll make the playoffs but will be beat) but in two this Patriots run will be history.

I've watched enough football to know when dynasties end and New England is getting close.

I'm fine with Brady winning 3 more Super Bowls as long as he loses 1 more to Eli in there somewhere.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

They have the fourth most cap space in the NFL and are probably going to scam another team (maybe mine!) into trading a high draft pick for their backup QB.

What's your definition of close, exactly?

I know it would be nice to believe this run will last forever and all of you seem to be taking this personally, but all dynasties end. Football teams evolve very fast. Someone finds a Dak Prescott or Kurt Warner or a Tom Brady and a suddenly the landscape changes. The owner dies and his children take over and you have Bill Bidwell (or Jed York) and a thousand years of mediocrity or the team is sold and you have Art Modell telling Paul Brown that he doesn't know how to coach anymore. The run the Patriots are on is unusual and it depends on things that cannot be sustained forever.

How well have Brady's backups done when they were taken out of New England?
How well have Belichick's assistant coaches (the ones who will be replacing him) done in other places?
How well have the GM's done?.
Do you imagine that neither will ever retire?

I'm sure it will end soon (relatively). And the next year or two is a good guess because Brady is going to be 40 in August and the team has a bunch of critical free agents this season. But I don't know that the team will ever completely implode ala the 49ers. Even outside of the absurd success of the Belichick era, the Patriots have been a reasonably well managed team since Kraft bought them.

They just won their fifth championship in a little over a decade, none of their fans give a gently caress if the dynasty is coming to an end soon.

my oracle says that the dynasty of the team with the greatest ever qb and greatest ever coach that are probably going to both retire within 5 years might end, say, in the next five years

I've been around football a long time, so you can take it to the bank that this historically unprecedented, almost impossible run of success isn't going to last forever.

It's close though. Like, somewhere between one and seven years from now. I've seen every football that's happened, and then some, if you know what i mean

It also took a very long time for that to happen to the 49ers, since they were very good going into the Jeff Garcia years.
