It makes people look ridiculous when they suggest otherwise. A game where there are 90 dudes playing every game and people act like games are regularly decided by 2 of those individuals.
It's also a pretty common situation in Bengals circles to credit the QB with the 47-23-1 regular season record but state that the playoff failures are "team losses".
.....they're ALL team losses, as well as wins.
I agree all wins and losses are team related. However, the all time greats like Manning and Brady deserve and earned deserving comments on their ability to help their team win year after year, game after game. I often wonder, how good would Belichick be if he had Brady playing against him for the Jets all these years versus for him. I think he is a great football mind, but would he be able to win if Brady was against him versus for him?
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
