Tom Brady 2007 vs. Aaron Rodgers 2011: Which Season Is Tops?

Via Football Nation  |  December 28, 2011
I wrote an article earlier in the year that looked at Aaron Rodgers vs Tom Brady. The debate was pretty simple and still is. If we are comparing careers, Brady is better.

How the Patriots suddenly handled the Dolphins blitzing… and links!

Via The Rap Sheet  |  December 26, 2011

Week 16 Risers and Fallers: A Tale of Two Halves

In a disturbing trend, the Patriots started off slow. Well, that might be an understatement. By the end of the half, Tom Brady and the offense had gone scoreless on seven drives while the defense surrendered 17 points to Matt Moore. Whatever was said in the locker room at halftime certainly did the job, as the second half was a totally different story. Brady put the team on his...
