iLog,
There's no use arguing with him.
Even when I link an article that says what you and I are obviously pointing out, he cherry picks it and comes up with the "dog ate my homework" argument.
Is Brady one of the best QBs out there right now? Possibly. Is Brady in his prime the best in his generation? Yes. Is Brady in his prime the greatest of all time? I say yes.
But...Is Brady not to blame (in this time where he's obviously not in his prime...including last year, too)? I say Brady takes some blame (as you and most everybody else here) and that's where the alternate reality squad comes in and says he does nothing wrong. Some anaylysts put blame on Brady in article while others said he shared in it, but nowhere do they give him a pass like zioxide seems to imply. If zioxide isn't making lame excuses, then he hasn't been good in making himself clear. When Manning flubs, his fans say so and put it on Manning. When my Kap blows it, I am sad but am often the first to admit it. They're human, but something insane about too many Pats fans I have seen will only use reality and common sense with other teams but when looking at Brady they put him into a god status that just looks embarrassing for the rest of us to look at. I applaud his loyalty to his QB, but to put that into a whole set of delusions and place it on this forum is, well again, embarrassing. Yes TB is the GOAT but he's not the same TB that we saw if we see 2013 and 2014 (so far) as the latest play he can produce. He's older, man and that's the breaks. If we go to the alternate universe that follows GOAT sometimes, then why not bring Bonds back to baseball and Jordan back to the NBA?
I remember calling him on not only the time the Giants beat NE twice in Super Bowls, but in an extremely high profile regular season game where Eli again prevailed over TB. The whole world saw that and it even made huge headlines in the Bay Area where Brady is from and has a lot of fans. But somehow, he didn't see that and I had to point it out to him. It's where that loyalty of Brady which becomes so intense that it leads to delusion. Anyway people should Google regular season game Patriots-Giants, 2011.

Basically back in 2011 there was no excuse and Brady didn't bring it, and easily he didn't pull off the regular play he was used to in that season's SB or the 2007 SB. When TB is on, he's the best and GOAT, but he does have the choke factor that any great has at times. It just hits TB more in big games than smaller ones. Only Peyton Manning, together with Brady in latest SBs are 0-4, has those rare chokes in the biggest games. I am a fan of SF Giants and we wrote the book on choke for most of our years out west, and right now seeing the Niners not achieve a Lombardi with Kap is arguably chokesville, too. It happens to all of us on planet earth but never, never to Lord Tom Brady!
