The Patriots are killing the game of professional football...
Tom Brady is a great football player and an hour after he retires, Canton will waive the waiting period and announce his induction.
I've been watching the NFL since the late 70's...there has never been a player that complains to the officials as consistently and vociferously as Brady. If he is touched in any way after releasing a pass, he starts yelling at the refs for a flag before he even hits the ground. It's unsportsmanlike, frankly.
I would be all in favor of a rule where if a player, ANY player complains to a ref about a call that should be a flag. To include getting up and making that "pulling the flag from the belt" motion that we see receivers do frequently.
If I was Dan Quinn and the ATL defense, part of my game plan would be to have a defensive lineman approach Brady the first time he steps on the field and say, "Hey 1-2? Hey 1-2! I'm going to knock you down after this next whistle...deliberately...and we'll take the 15 yards and the first down. It's nothing personal. We're just trying to win a football game. And we'll be doing it repeatedly throughout the game. They won't call it every time."
He has a quick release...but, when you knock Tom Brady down, he doesn't like that. Getting him focused on not getting hit might be worth the penalties. Of course, you have to be perfect on nearly every OTHER play to have a chance to win.
