It doesn't? I mean he is winning games with cast off QBs and a gadget QB. I don't hear anyone in the media really talking about it. If you find something, please post it here and I will reconsider and we can discuss.That still doesn't make him underrated.
I don't know what you consider underrated but to me being ranked the 3rd best NFL HC is not being underrated.

I mean more of the narrative not just rankings. I just don't hear him get mentioned much on the shows or even in the media for what he has been doing without Brees for quite time now with pretty average QBs. Take for example, Andy Reid. People talk a ton about his successes with Alex Smith and McNabb before he got Mahomes. The QBs Payton has been winning with are not on the level of a McNabb or a Smith IMO.I don't know what you consider underrated but to me being ranked the 3rd best NFL HC is not being underrated.

Goal posts. Again. They're off!
It's obvious he meant ratings not rankings. Silly me.
Btw, I believe she has an invention that automatically moves the goal posts when necessary.

at least generally aware
If you keep in mind that the intent was to belittle BB then she has not moved the goal posts.
Yeah, the central theme remains the same. The goal post moving is just means to an end.

They would have been 11-4 if Brady didn’t suck yesterday.
Talk about letting your team down!
He was probably watching the scoreboard and just as pissed about the patriots win as you are. Distracted.

It was pretty poor coaching decisions when they had the ball in the red zone, 2 minutes left and a first down, and only took 8 seconds off the clock. Three incomplete passes in a row. That really could have come back to bite them with Brady on the other side. They were fortunate that Brady suddenly got old and couldn't see the defender he threw the ball directly to.

I didn't mind that at all. The Bucs had 2 TOs and the thinking there was a FG was not going to be enough as Brady has been doing GWD all season. They were going for the kill shot against a Bucs secondary that has been absolute trash.It was pretty poor coaching decisions when they had the ball in the red zone, 2 minutes left and a first down, and only took 8 seconds off the clock.

I don't think that is quite right as the Bucs didn't have any timeouts when they got the ball with 1:41 left.
Or maybe I am old too.

I am pretty sure they had 2. I do think Payton should have at least run at first down to make them burn one but it didn't matter as for some reason Brady was looking deep on the last drive despite only needing a FG to win. Frustrating.

This is a really, really good point. The crappy Saints coaching was really bailed out by Brady being a terrible QB. Or maybe another way to look at it is that Peyton realizes that Brady is washed, and essentially was just willing to put the game in the hands of his defense, knowing 1) the Bucs would make the boneheaded mistake of trying to rely on Brady to save the day, and 2) that his defense would make them pay.It was pretty poor coaching decisions when they had the ball in the red zone, 2 minutes left and a first down, and only took 8 seconds off the clock.

So really, both Sean Peyton and Brady suck, one way or another. It was just a matter of whose screw-up would overwhelm the other's.
