 On the brightside, real Thursday Night Football is back. WTF was up with those first two games actually daring to be decent? All is right with the world once again.

 

Takes a little while for the teams to be haggard on short rest.

This has been... most satisfying. I felt really bad for Vince Wilfork after that killer stretch where the Texans' offense didn't see the field for 45 minutes.

I have to say, most of the time the color rush uniforms look like varieties of dogshit smears, but these are reasonably tasteful.

 Ah, fair point. Jesus, Blount was a sneaky good late round draft grab. That guy has been routinely outscoring my early round RBs.

 

The problem with him in fantasy is that there will be games where Belichick gives him 5 carries, especially once Brady is back.

I think it may be time to admit Tom Brady is the greatest artist of this, or perhaps any generation:

 

Way too derivative to deserve that title. Maybe if Giotto hadn't done the originals Brady would be in the conversation, but all you can really say at this point is he's an excellent draftsman.

Can we finally say once and for all, it's Belichick, not Brady, that matters.

Belichick career win-loss 

Without Brady 

1991: 6-10 (no playoffs) 
1992: 7-9 (no playoffs) 
1993: 7-9 (no playoffs) 
1994: 11-5 (lost in divisional round) 
1995: 5-11 (no playoffs) 
2000: 5-11 (no playoffs) 
2001: 0-2 (Brady started the rest of the year) 
2008: 11-5 (no playoffs) 
2016: 3-0 (ongoing and Brady returns week 5) 



With Brady 

2001: 11-3 (Super Bowl) 
2002: 9-7 (no playoffs) 
2003: 14-2 (Super Bowl) 
2004: 14-2 (Super Bowl) 
2005: 10-6 (lost in divisional round) 
2006: 12-4 (lost in AFCCG) 
2007: 16-0 (lost in Super Bowl) 
2009: 10-6 (lost in Wild Card game) 
2010: 14-2 (lost in divisional round) 
2011: 13-3 (lost in Super Bowl) 
2012: 12-4 (lost in AFCCG) 
2013: 12-4 (lost in AFCCG) 
2014: 12-4 (Super Bowl) 
2015: 12-4 (lost in AFCCG)

So my answer is "lol no". That doesn't even take into account how Belichick had to game plan around Garrapolo and Brissett, while with Brady he changes the game plan every week to attack the opposing defenses weakness. They are far less versatile without Brady. Belichick just isn't as dumb as most coaches to let his back up be some scrub like the Colts were a few years back. 

Edit: and that's with me spotting Cassel the week one game that Brady started in 2008.
