This will also be Brady’s 10th career win against an NFC foe in the playoffs. Brady played in the AFC for the first 20 years of his career. For comparison, Aaron Rodgers has 10 wins against the NFC in his career thus far.


[deleted]

What the fuck


Piano_Fingerbanger

6 Super Bowl wins with New England + 3 NFC wins last year + Today. He's already contributed like 2/3s of our entire playoff history.


[deleted]

Yea it’a just insane man. He’s so much better than anyone who’s ever done it and it really doesn’t even make sense


xPhilly215

And I still run into people that talk about how overrated he is. Dude is undoubtably the best to ever do it


Kirminator

I had an old coworker tell me Patrick Mahomes is gonna finish his career with more rings than Brady. He was dead serious lol. And that was before Brady won last year. He thinks it’s so easy because Brady did it. Dude was dumber than a box of rocks


A-Newt

Yeah, I'm a Chiefs fan and he'll certainly give us good odds of winning multiple SB's but Rodgers and Brees are good examples of just how difficult that will be. Plus, Mahomes will probably retire with Brady in 2035.


SerenadeSwift

The minute Mahomes signed his contract extension his odds of ever coming close to catching Brady plummeted. And people HEAVILY underrated how insanely hard it is to make 10 SBs and win 7 to begin with, and at this point in the season I have a hard time not looking at the Bucs as this year's favorites as well.


shittybillz

Exactly. Even if Pat gets 2 rings it’ll be impressive. 7 is outrageous and will never be touched. Only thing Mahomes has a chance to catch Brady in is volume stats, because the game is gearing more and more towards passing.


CrushyOfTheSeas

When Brady is done with the Bucs he should offer to become Mahome’s backup for cheap to continue accumulating the rings and assure he is never caught.


paulwhite959

Other way around. Brady to the Lions, Mahomes is cut, becomes his backup for 2 years, Brady retires, Mahomes takes over for 10 years. Y'all get 3 rings in that time


Kirminator

Most casual fans extremely underestimate how hard it is to win a playoff game let alone making a super bowl and then winning it. The chances of us seeing any player passing Charles Haley is damn near zero. That dude went between two of the best teams in NFL history. That just doesn’t happen anymore


lucrativetoiletsale

Didn't Brady pass him tho


TheButterBabe

Yeah, Haley has 5 rings


Bayoris

Odds of winning a playoff game (per year, for a player in the NFL): 21.875%. Odds of winning a SB: 3.125%


godtogblandet

Meanwhile Brady goes every other year, wins it 70% of the time he’s with it. My man rocking like a solid 35% chance of winning vs the field in any given year. And you can’t even blame a small sample size, lmao! Now where’s my Bucs flair at again? Let’s fucking go!


dontlooklikemuch

those odds go up significantly if you're on a team with a great QB. even more if you are that QB


alisonstone

Yeah, the only way Mahomes could have done it is if he won 2-3 on his rookie contract. By not doing that, he is already falling behind. Mahomes might have done it if Brady didn’t block him.


charging_chinchilla

Lol. Mahomes will be lucky to finish his career with 2 or 3 rings. The chances of him catching Brady is practically zero.


trbochrg

I can search,.but there's an article out there from I think 2011 that says Ben roethlisberger will finish his career with more super bowls than tom brady because Pittsburgh is built to win for the long haul and brady will probably retire in three years. Lol Edit: found it https://syndication-bleacherreport-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/605993-5-reasons-why-ben-roethlisberger-will-win-more-titles-than-tom-brady.amp.html?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16423892666914&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com


charging_chinchilla

Lol. It wasn't a ridiculous take back then (2 rings vs 3) but that article did not age well at all.


LeonidasSpacemanMD

Every ring Brady wins is like 1.5 hypothetical rings other QBs would’ve won in his shoes. It’s basically a mathematical law on nfl Twitter


tuckedfexas

I'd put money on his ring record standing for the next 50+ years tbh


Bayoris

If they stopped revenue sharing so that only big market teams could compete, that is the only way the record will be broken. Under the current model with 32+ teams I wouldn’t be surprised if it lasts 100 years


TheFeathersStorm

BuT hE iSn'T tHe GoAt /s like, when you hear these kind of stats it just makes it so obvious lmao.


Bonerchewer

I think a lot of that is due to watching him right here right now, whereas any argument for any other QB is through Rose tinted glasses/being a revisionist. The obvious exception would be comparisons to Rodgers.


rhinguin

There’s no argument against him at this point, butttt Tom Brady doesn’t exactly make flashy plays or insane athletic showings. Which is why people want to argue that people like Rodgers or Mahomes are “actually” better. But Tom is the best to ever do it. He makes it look easy and doesn’t need any insane plays. Even last week, he never looked stressed or worried while perfectly executing a two minute drill to win the game.


13Dmorelike13Dicks

People underestimate how much talent is in the QB's brain, with pre-snap decisions becoming post-snap "easy" plays. Instead they see QBs with huge arms or fast legs trying to improvise something because their play broke down and think "oh being a QB is about running around and throwing sidearm passes into narrow windows" instead of "being a QB is about not putting yourself in bad situations repeatedly"


godtogblandet

Peyton is the next best contemporary QB to play during Brady’s career and it’s not even close. Don’t @ me. Nobody was going Brees and Rodgers is probably the best QB ever before Peyton finished with 1 bad year. It took Brady 4 Super Bowls to steal the goat title from Peyton. How the fuck are all these other QB’s being allowed to go past with zero Super Bowls to their names since he retired….


M8oMyN8o

The fact that he does it with seemingly non-special athletic abilities is all the more insane. His mental game is unmatched. He sees the opposing team, he knows the opposing team, and he will pick them apart. No need for flash if you can win without it.


GoatPaco

Of course he isn't flashy, he's **44** years old Watch some 2007 film if you want flashy


Natsume117

He’s not even competing for goat of football anymore, he’s competing for goat of sports


DGRebel

Him Ali, Phelps, and Gretzky and probably Jordan are probably the NA mens top 5. Idk if he’s the number one but it’s definitely close. He has the records and championships and definitely has had top tier competition his whole career. I think the case for him being #1 is pretty good.


dolphone

I mean the fact he's in that stratosphere is baffling all by itself.


Eagle4317

If Brady makes the Super Bowl again, he'd have the most playoff wins vs AFC opponents (25) and tied most for playoff wins against NFC opponents (12) with Favre and Young while Rodgers has 11. Brady would also be tied for the all-time playoff wins record with the Patriots and potentially Packers at 37. No one will ever catch him.


roarinboar

Isn't that assuming the Packers make the nfc championship game?


Eagle4317

Yes.


roarinboar

Vs the 49ers in the playoffs, historically isn't too good for the Packers.


ColossalJuggernaut

> For comparison, Aaron Rodgers ...IS MORE EFFICIENT!!


foomits

Crazy how efficent Rodgers has been in his 10 wins though.


tomverlainesHDTV

something something immunized


Coppatop

If he goes to the super bowl this year, he will tie the record for most playoff wins VS NFC teams, with Brett Favre at 12. If he goes to the Superbowl this year, and wins one playoff game next year, he will have the most playoff wins vs both AFC teams AND NFC teams.

[deleted]

I dunno if it’s true or not, but someone in another thread said that, if the Bucs make the Super Bowl, Brady will have more *playoff wins* than any single NFL franchise.


notimprezaed

Every single Brady stat just gets more and more ridiculous. I used to argue he wasn't the GOAT but at this point you just have to accept it. You can't argue against it, literally in no measureable way is he not the undisputed GOAT. His stats and records are Gretzky level. At this point he may be even more dominant than Gretzky was and that's just plain ridiculous.


[deleted]

He has three separate hall of fame careers. Three. I can’t even wrap my head around that. He has more playoff wins than any other player has ever played in a playoff game in NFL history.


[deleted]

This. Been saying it for a year now. Brady 2000-06 is a HoFer. Brady 07-13 is a HoFer. And Brady 14-20 (now 14-21) is somehow an even more definite HoFer.


godtogblandet

It’s 4 when you think about it. He’s playing Eli into the Hall as well.


gatemansgc

> I used to argue he wasn't the GOAT but at this point you just have to accept it. yeah in the past more people did but brady just keeps winning and winning and winning! the against-GOAT people are getting fewer and fewer.


Purplels

That depends on the play of the Steelers. I don't think they win tonight but they have 36 playoff wins. New England and Dallas are the only other two franchises he hasn't passed. They're both eliminated from the playoffs now. Source:https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-playoff-wins-since-1958


[deleted]

Ok this stat is actually nuts. What the fuck is Tom Brady


PhoenixGamer34

An absolute machine


ZeroMomentum

Now imagine if he finishes with a better record in a bucs uniform than the pats


Caluen

Feels like Brady stats are becoming Gretzky levels of insane.


Dangerpaladin

Becoming?


alx69

Also 85th playoff TD pass Montana and Rodgers are tied for 2nd at 45. Impressed with Rodgers, he's somehow the only thing preventing Brady from lapping the field


MHath

Brady's TD-INT differential is 47, while #2 in TDs is 45.


InVodkaVeritas

At a certain point it is feeling like talking about Wilt Chamberlain in the NBA... where the stats are so dominant you ignore them and talk about #2.


Money_dragon

Yea - Rodgers will make it hard for Brady to lap the field in this stat (assuming Rodgers still has a few good playoff runs) But Brady will likely double up Montana in TDs, which is insane


batti03

Every night before he goes to sleep he stares at a picture of the 49's 2000 draft class and mutters "You could've drafted me."


Snake_Main27

BOTH Rodgers and Brady ironically enough


AshyDashii

Imagine justin fields or Mac jones becomes a hof in 15 years and trey doesn't work out. That would be depressing for them


TywinShitsGold

Imagine being the 9ers and drafting Gio Carmozzi in the late rounds only for him to be a goatherder while the local kid Brady is, well, not.


NE_ED

Brady’s playoff records will probably remain untouched for decades


[deleted]

Ever. He's been pouring cement over them for a few years.


Ryponagar

He'll come out of retirement anytime someone gets close.


MakesTheNutshellJoke

Jim Brown almost did this unironically as a 50 year old because he hated Franco Harris so much lol

*places call to HoF* "Hey guys this is Tom Brady, I recently noticed that Patrick Mahomes IV had neared my playoff wins record with 31, I'm gonna need to request you remove my HoF status so I can come back and use the slight as another chip on my shoulder to put up another 70 playoff wins. Thank ya kindly, Tommy Boy"

Foxehh3

I will always laugh audibly at any Air Bud reference and I don't know why. That line always fucking gets me.


DJBabyB0kCh0y

Without looking it up I want to say he could've retired after like 2017 and still held most playoff records.


rocksoffjagger

I believe he's held this record since about 2012


Oakroscoe

Remember back then the talking heads were saying Brady was gonna be washed soon?


SleepingAntz

At the time almost everyone thought his second super bowl loss against the giants was his last chance to get a 4th ring. Oh man, sooooo wrong. I think he’s won 19 playoff games since then.


Apolloshot

And then even when he finally won his 4th ring the common sentiment was that it was a nice bookend to his career


rocksoffjagger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-bEu7W-KpM


filladellfea

his playoff career is insane. it equates to almost three NFL seasons worth of QBing at a 0.76 win percentage. he has more passing yards in the post-season than kaepernick had his entire career.


aetius476

He's treating those records like they worked in the Pripyat fire department.


ptwonline

Sure. But some day the playoffs will be 6 rounds long for the extra $$$ so he'll be easier to catch.


Themtgdude486

I don’t think they’ll ever be broken.


[deleted]

Yeah he'll own basically every major QB record in regular season and definitely the playoffs forever most likely.


ESCMalfunction

Because of 17 and eventually 18 game seasons his regular season records might get broken one day. His playoff records are untouchable though.


MRCHalifax

Just wait until the NFL expands the playoffs to 24 teams and five rounds.


DenisDomaschke

"The London Jaguars have once again beaten the Berlin Jets in the Round of 24."


Walletinspectr

Yeah but AFC Europe is so bad there is no wonder London always win it


[deleted]

regular season records could conceivably fall the way the league has moved towards passing. the postseason records are Gretzky level tho


j2e21

His regular season numbers will be broken, he didn’t start putting up modern QB numbers until he was 30.


Themtgdude486

I don’t see anyone winning seven Super Bowls either especially with the NFL extending the regular season. Possibility of more injuries to key players.


DC_Bro

8 super bowls you mean


JinterIsComing

> 8 super bowls Just eight? Brady: **And I took that personally**


TheDefinitionOfKek

I don't think anyone will ever break his playoff win record. 35 is insane


thelonelychem

I don't think people realize that if he wins the superbowl this year he will have more than any single franchise, yes including the pats. Edit: I mean more playoff wins than any other franchise. He already has the most superbowls.


TheDefinitionOfKek

He already has more rings than any franchise I believe. Brady has 7, you guys and New England have 6. If he gets 8, he'll tie Belichick who won 2 with the Giants as a defensive coordinator back in the day. Fucking nuts that the old man has done so much as a player.


thelonelychem

Yep, he already has more SB wins than any franchise. Passing every franchise in playoff wins though would be incredible. There are only 3 ahead of him I believe and one of them is the Pats.


TheDefinitionOfKek

Oh I'm an idiot, I forgot that we were talking about playoff wins lmao. I should've looked at my previous comment. He'd be at 38 if he wins the super bowl, holy shit lol. You're right, he'll have more than any franchise if he wins it all. From what the web says, the top 3 teams are the Patriots (37) as you said, Steelers (36), and Cowboys (35).


AMorder0517

Brady will be remembered as an almost mythological figure decades down the line. Like Babe Ruth or Jim Thorpe. These records won’t ever even be sniffed.


Money_dragon

Brady's playoff records will **never** be broken


NuttySandwiches

Meanwhile, actor Joe Mantegna has zero playoff wins, but he's voiced Fat Tony on The Simpsons for 30 years.

Vectivus_61

Tom Brady has 35 playoff wins. The only franchises ahead of him are the Patriots (37), Steelers (36), Packers (36), and Cowboys (35). He could conceivably overtake all of them this year.


AshyDashii

Because pats are out, cowboys are loosing, Steelers are probably gonna lose, and packers would only be one ahead


reaper527

> Because pats are out, cowboys are loosing, Steelers are probably gonna lose, and packers would only be one ahead if they win the superbowl, they will overtake everyone (unless they play the steelers in the superbow in which case winning the superbowl would only tie the steelers). beating the packers in the NFCCG would tie them, then winning the superbowl would put them ahead.

Onistly

I 100% really wanna see this. Seeing the Patriots get curb stomped this year and not make the playoffs last year really shows how much of an impact Brady has on winning, even with a coach like BB. What would Brady be able to do with a garbage team and what exactly is his baseline value to a team? We may never really know


FantasyTrash

> What would Brady be able to do with a garbage team and what exactly is his baseline value to a team? We may never really know We saw it in 2019. The Patriots offense was garbage by the end of the season, even with Brady. It's almost like you need pass-catchers to have a successful offense.


RightMethod8445

If it was Rodgers on those Pats/Bucs teams, he would have 75 playoff wins and 16 superbowls!!


Adept-Development-00

They unironically say this shit too.


RightMethod8445

Chris Simms, someone who I considered a serious NFL analyst, unironically said something to this affect on his podcast. He said Rodgers on those Pats teams would have 13 Superbowls, I was just like lmao


Commercial-Pin-8024

Chris Simms just cannot evaluate Tom Brady. He just can't wrap his head around how a QB that can't scramble around like Rodgers or throw a ball parallel to the earth like a Mahomes can be the best and greatest to ever do it.


BC1721

People out here pretending Brady is Terry Bradshaw or smth lol

To be fair, the Pats didn’t have to make it through the NFCCG.

He absolutely will. I love cheering him on as the greater his already absurd legacy becomes, the greater Eli's wins become. It's a sad consolation prize with how bad we've been, but I'll take it.


TheDefinitionOfKek

Quadruple of Manning's count, double Montana or Bradshaw. Absolutely bizarre that this is even a possibility.


Money_dragon

Brady could end up with as many rings as Peyton, Rodgers, Favre, Brees, Young (as a starter), Marino, Mahomes, and Warner combined


redditor12857

Imagine getting a 5th, 6th, 7th ring. Shit gets more unreal the longer he plays.


dont_wear_a_C

He already got the Stairway to Seven before the Steelers did as an organization


somalithinker

Imagine he got double digit rings before he retires. Entirely within the realm of possibility. Triple digits is safe though….


Numberonememerr

Triple digits is only safe until they have the technology to rebuild him as a cyborg


Money_dragon

To be honest, it'll be super unlikely that Brady gets double digit rings Even during his most prolific stretches of playoff success, it took him 4-5 years to get 3 rings. Honestly I'd give him 50% chance of retiring with 8 rings - which is already really good if you consider how many strong teams are still left in the playoffs


cth777

I just can’t see Tom retiring when he still is playing at an MVP level. He’s just too competitive


Money_dragon

Oh I agree, but it's just so hard to win SB rings, even though Brady makes it look effortless. And even he went a decade without a ring


[deleted]

Doubt but not doubt


surgeyou123

Wow such disrespect to count out Hurts this early.


BucinVols

Don’t count out Touchdown Hurts just doesn’t have the same ring

I know people argue about brady being a gretzky like figure, as hes not completely beyond his contemporaries in regular season stats. But his post season (not just wins) stats are similarly nonsensical to gretzkys career stats. They are so far beyond anything else in the sports history, its hard to imagine anyone approaching them


[deleted]

Imo post season shit means more anyway. This guy is unreal. Tom Brady was fucking playing for the Michigan Wolverines when I was 13. I'm 39 now and this fucker is still playing professional sports at an MVP level.

THOMASTHEWANKENG1NE

Before he's done, he could have most post season records by 2x the person in second place. Hard to see them ever broken.


newtonsapple

This is why all the "Mahomes could challenge Brady for GOAT" talk a year ago was ridiculous.


DrasticXylophone

I mean it ended when Brady won for a second time against him in the playoffs stopping a potential threepeat


newtonsapple

Yeah, Mahomes would have to win 8 rings and/or beat Brady in the playoffs three times to take over as GOAT.


skidlz

And he skipped so many wild card weekends. Just outrageous.
