Wish the football reference site had the advanced stats for yards after first contact, yards after blocks (something like that, I forget what it's called), and the team blocking percentage (again, forget the name, but is a way to compare offensive lines/schemes). Without stuff like that, it's still hard to make comparisons. If you have a great line, 5.4 might just be good. If you have a mediocre line, 5.4 would be amazing. YAFC is also a decent way to judge elusiveness and/or brute strength. Shit's always so complicated when you really want to get down to it.
I will say the lack of any emphasis on Gore being a receiving option since Harbaugh arrived doesn't help either, especially since his elite contemporaries often have some impact there.

Pats beat Niners in the SB, and Brady get's revenge on the team of his childhood hero that didn't draft him, also dispelling all the doubts about his achievements since his last SB win.
It's mostly idiots, but you can definitely read on different places about him being a product of a system, or that he benefited from a great D during the years that they won it, that he hasn't won since spygate, etc etc. Where the fuck have you been?

Ignoring people who obviously don't know what they're talking about. Obviously Tom Brady is a product of a system, he wouldn't have any where near the success he has had if he plays for any other team, but that doesn't change the fact that he's probably the third best QB to ever play in the NFL, behind Manning and Marino of course.
I think you're mostly right, but does the "system QB" shit even mean anything at all? Does anyone fault Joe Montana for having more success with Bill Walsh than he might have had on one of the dumpster fires of the time?
I feel like most of the great QBs could be called products of a system. Most of the all time greats didn't go to another team and win super bowls...unless I'm totally forgetting someone Manning could be the first to actually do it this year. I don't mean some guy never picked up a few rings holding clipboards on different teams, but the starting, franchise QB type guys.
Besides, this isn't Belichick's first head coaching job. He didn't exactly burn up the record books without Brady, either. Maybe BB is the product of the Brady system?

No it doesn't which is why I said he was a system qb but still is one of the greatest of all time (I hate the GOAT acronym).

Don't get me started mother fucker. It took a lot to even call Tom Brady good, but there's zero chance he's a better QB than Dan Marino.

Homerism aside, I really believe it will be a toss up today on who wins. Just depends on who can run the ball better, I think.
Other than that, I fully believe Denver will end up on top.

Tom Brady hasn't won a road playoff game in 7 years, I doubt they win today.

Show some faith bro, Denver are better in every facet of the game. Should be a good one, but I expect the non-derp Mannings to win by at least a TD.

Once again the NFL baffles me. They have the games scheduled 3 hours and 30 minutes apart. Which is great for the regular season, or if you assume the first game won't run long. But I swear last year itdidrun long. Which means we miss the first part of the second game. Why not just make it 4 hours and not have that as a possibility?
