Every single SB the Pats played in under Brady came down to the final minutes and could've gone either way, besides the Eagles game. So tough to just pinpoint 1 game that was a close call. Even that game, Kearse catch to put the ball on the 5 was improbable. I don't think it matters too much for his legacy if NE losses, he's gonna be 40 in a few months. It's just gravy for him really.
People also forget about this missed catch. Normally Welker makes this 9 out of 10 times. This would have gone a long way in sealing the deal at this point of the game.

classic, take away a win at the goal line, but ignore a miracle bullshit catch that set up that opportunity for Seattle (and Lynch was 1 for 5 in in such situations during the year BTW)
and ignore a miracle bullshit catch that ruined their perfect season
and ignore another fantastic catch to beat him in the closing minute of the 2nd loss to the Giants
I love them there one sided give and takes
and you want to knock Brady about the Seattle game? when he led two TD drives in the final 8 minutes to take the lead?
and when the Giants first beat him, he led the Patriots to a TD to take the lead with just over 2 minutes left
as a matter of fact, he's led TD drives late in almost every SB he played in to win or take the lead, and you want to knock him?
face)(*^%
Did you know? Brady had the lead at the two minute warning in all six SB's
The Kearse catch happened what on 1st Down with 1:30 left? Seattle was moving the ball at will and momentum. It was pretty likely had he not made the catch, they would've still been knocking on the door anyway.
Not knocking Brady at all Willie. Still a bit pissed I watched the worst play call in the history of professional sports.
Tough Question: Impact on Legacy, matter of Opinion I reckon and with as much Patriot Hate exists I'd have to say: "Yes. Legacy Impacted very negatively. Way more Negatively than is deserved or an Intelligent Conclusion."
Non-Patriot Haters, a percentage of these will "Credit" Brady, recalling that absurd Tyree catch maybe even to the extent of saying "Brady should have won there, got robbed, should already have 5 and be playing here for a 6th Ring."
These people ignore the game that The NYG Defense played that day though.
Me I say "Yes, Legacy Impacted cuz if he gets this 5th Ring GOAT gets sealed if he does not I don't like his Loss Total going as high as it would so Yes."
Caveat: Were he to lose here & get a 5th Ring next year? Legacy Intact, Loss Total ignored
Is He REALLY serious about playing another 5 years? I thot I'd heard he said 6 More years prior to this last season.
To me the Idea of him playing until 45ish is absurd.
I can get with 3 More Years.
