If Dee Ford hadn't lined up in the neutral zone all the focus would have been how Brady blew their SB chance with a 3 int 0 TD performance and is this the end for him. One ****ing play completely changed the narrative.
**** Tom Brady and **** the Patriots!

Some of what you are saying is somewhat true but remember BB was an unsuccessful head coach with two different teams before Brady came along.
Brady's brilliance and willingness to put the team first may have had a coach like Rex Ryan for all of his stupidity in the HOF.
And it is true that Brady almost threw 3 or even 4 int's that game vs KC but he almost threw only 1 as well.
The big point is he did much better than nearly every NFL qb throwing into tight windows that game vs Chiefs. 7 for 14 which was much better than the other 3 qb's that played that weekend. Check out espn article if you don't believe me..... It was Brady's best tight window performance in 3 years according to the analytics people who track it.
And it is also true that while Hogan made a great one handed catch on one pass reception that he may have been slowed down slightly by Chiefs defense, it is also true that Patriots receivers dropped 5-6 very catchable balls in that game as well.
Pretty much Brady just had around 4 bad inaccurate throws that entire game and 2 of them Patriots receivers(Gronk and Edelman) could have caught and probably catch over 50% of the time. Those were the two tipped balls.
Most of Brady's other incompletions were him just throwing it away so Chiefs fast pass rush and it was pretty darn fast at times couldn't get to him. And their were the 5-6 drops.
Outside of being fooled by Chiefs linebacker in the end zone, Brady had a great game passing vs Chiefs.
Ask yourself the last team to put up 38 points against Chiefs at Arrowhead and how often that is done. It wasn't done since Sony Michel is Barry Sanders in his prime.
38 points and name Patriots main outside receiving threat. Could he make the Chiefs roster at wide receiver? Maybe but I doubt he plays much at all.
