New England Patriots: Tom Brady Suspension Will Help The Team

As you know by now, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s appeal in regards to his four game suspension was rejected yesterday by a federal court. However, this will end up helping the Pats down the road…

Unless the Supreme Court agrees to hear Brady’s case (which is unlikely), it looks like number 12 will be sitting out the first four games of 2016. And while that obviously sucks, in the long run, this will end up helping the Patriots.

With Jimmy Garoppolo under center, I think New England will go 3-1 in those first four games. Going to Arizona to play that Cardinals team without Brady is going to be very tough, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pats lost that one. New England’s defense is top notch, and they have arguably the best group of offensive weapons in the game, but for your first ever NFL start to be against a team like that is daunting.

However, all three of the next games are at home, and they are all against teams that I don’t fear in the least: Dolphins, Texans and Bills. I anticipate the Pats will win all three of those games, giving them a 3-1 record when an EXTREMELY pissed off Brady returns to humiliate the Browns.

So this is what Roger Goodell’s stupidity is giving us: an angry Tom Brady, who will have four extra weeks of rest heading into the playoffs, with one of the most talented offenses he has ever had in Foxboro.

Game over.

Year after year, Brady continues to outrace father time, but even the great 12 needs rest as a 38-year-old, and now Goodell has given Brady just that. Brady will be more motivated than he has ever been to win another title, he will have all the necessary weapons (health provided) and most importantly, he will be more rested than ever heading into the postseason.

Remember how pissed off and motivated Brady was in that 2014 season when the Pats won it all? Multiply that times 100, give Brady better weapons and give him an extra MONTH of rest.

Boom.
