What Brady/Belechick accomplished together may never be broken, especially in a salary cap era. As you mentioned, so many things had to go just right to get what they had.

How about the Tuck Rule? That was absolutely a fumble and he deserved to lose in the snow to the Raiders. If Tom Brady was born 15 years later, he would not have benefited from this short-lived rule. None of the historically great QB's other than Brady have benefited from this rule, which only existed from 1999 to 2013.
The Overtime rule in the Dee Ford game no longer exists as well. Brady has been a super lucky dude on this kind of stuff. Chiefs entire OL got wiped out late in the season, plus Andy's son had the horrible car wreck right before the Super Bowl game to create a massive distraction for the team. Pete Carroll's brain fart on the goal line. It's unbelievable how fortunate Brady has been when you think about it.
