Can Pats beat Brees in superbowl?

Brees, numbers are extraordinarily pedestrian when he plays anywhere that’s not a dome.

Really? Well let’s look at that according to the examples you gave.

1. Even in Tampa Bay, on a gorgeous day, he struggled with accuracy
2. In St. Louis? He was flat out horrible
3. There was a great graphic on NFL Network last week that showed the huge disparity between his numbers when in dome/out of dome and home/away and it was staggering. I wish I could find it. Oh well.

So far, you have given only one example of a game that was played outside. The other two examples you gave are a graphic that is supposed to show a “huge disparity” that is “staggering” which you could not find, and the St. Louis game, which is complete irrelevant to your argument because the Rams also play in a dome. Your whole point is that he is “extraordinarily pedestrian” when he doesn’t play in a dome so I have no idea why you mentioned that game.

Your entire argument based on one game and a graphic that you don’t have. How would you like it if some Saints fan did the same thing to Tom Brady? Introduce some premise with no supporting data and then pass it off as the reason for a Saints victory in a Super Bowl between the two teams.

How about this one? Tom Brady has not won a playoff game since January of 2008, which will be four full years starting next week. Shall I draw some wild conclusion about the Patriots ability to even make it to the Super Bowl (let alone win one) based on that limited (but very true) example.

Here’s the thing…..I remember that graphic you’re talking about and it was neither “staggering” or showed any “huge disparity”. Was there a difference? Yes….but it was based on a select number of games that were cherry picked just to fit the point they were trying to make. Which is S.O.P. for the idiot sports media.

Let me give you some example of games that folks don’t talk about whenever they want to make a case for Brees being so “ordinary” in outside games.

2011 Green Bay, 32-49 (65%), 419-yds, 3-tds, 0-ints, 112.5-rating
2011 Carolina, 32-45 (71%), 359 yds, 2-tds, 1-int, 100.1 rating
2011 Tennessee, 36-47 (76%), 337-yds, 2-tds, 0-int, 110.0 rating
2010 Cincinnati, 24-29 (82%), 313-yds, 2-tds, 1-int, 120.3 rating
2010 Baltimore, 29-46 (63%), 267-yds, 3-tds, 1-int, 91.5 rating
2010 San Francisco, 28-38 (73%), 254-yds, 2-tds, 0-int, 108.9 rating
2010 Tampa Bay, 21-32 (65%), 263-yds, 3-tds, 1-int, 109.2
2009 Philadelphia, 25-34 (73%), 311-yds, 3-tds, 1-int, 118.6
2009 Tampa Bay, 19-29 (65%), 187-yds, 3-tds, 0-int, 118.0 rating
2009 Washington, 35-49 (71%), 419-yds, 2-tds, 1-int, 102.3 rating

Oh yeah, there was one other game that was played outside which folks conveniently ignore whenever making a case against Brees being able to play well outside of a dome.

Super Bowl 44 Miami – 32-39 (82%), 288-yds, 2-tds, 0-int, 114.5 rating

I’m not doing this to get into an argument with you Big Russ, I’m just showing that people can say whatever they want to make a case against anybody if they really want to…..even against Tom Brady. But, I like both the Pats and Saints, and I want both of them to make it to the Super Bowl. Once they are there, I’m not emotionally invested either way and I’m satisfied with whoever wins.

Why? Because in either the case, the winner will be sticking it to the NFL and the fans who don’t like either team.
