This season is an example of Brady getting just a taste of what truly great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Dan Marino had to go through when they would often almost singlehandedly carry average teams into playoff contention, and then get harshly judged and critiqued by the dumb-asses who view winning championships as the ultimate definition of how great a player is/was.

Great analysis. BB proved he could still win without Brady but those 11 wins weren't good enough for the post season.
The NFL has become more football stupid by having former players replace journalists. Plus the need to create drama for the 24 hour sport networks to flourish.
