Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1558 - 1557: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Chapter 1558: Chapter 1557: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Brady might leave the New England Patriots, Watt might leave the Houston Texans, everything remains hypothetical, yet still evokes sighs.

Especially with the backdrop of the Kansas City Chiefs completing a historic threepeat, fully overturning history and changing the league’s structure, the league’s upgrading is becoming unprecedentedly clear. The familiar scenes of the past twenty years seem completely overturned, everything is happening.

But!

Nothing is set in stone.

Here’s a key point: Brady and the New England Patriots have sorted out their contract, allowing Brady to freely choose his next destination; Watt can’t, Watt still has a year left on his contract with the Houston Texans, and the initiative remains in the hands of the Houston Texans.

Immediately, Houston Texans fans gathered and jointly submitted a petition.

"Keep Watt."

No extra words, a simple sentence expressing their sincerity.

Over the years, Watt in Houston, has not only had his hard work but also contributions. Relying on his performances on and off the field and his personal charisma, he won many supporters for the young Houston Texans. His youth, his injuries, his life are all on this land, no one is willing to let him leave.

In New England, no one retained Brady, the cold-hearted fans have already begun to look forward.

But in Houston, people passionately call for the team to keep Watt, deeply moving.

Fans have stood up one after another, trying to stop all this with actual actions.

However, fans are warm but also cruel, a small portion of fans and Foxborough residents play the role of objective observers.

"Let him go, after all, for so many years he hasn’t brought us a championship, we don’t owe him."

"Constantly injured, no contribution to the team, yet still taking high wages for doing nothing, ha."

"Traitor die! Never thought JJ-Watt would betray Houston someday."

Sharp, cold, cruel, like a sharp blade stabbing Watt’s heart, bleeding profusely.

The world of competitive sports doesn’t believe in tears, although Watt contributed his entire professional career to Houston, Houston equally gave back unreservedly. Watt never managed to bring Houston a Super Bowl trophy, it’s a fact they are prepared to let go of the past and move forward.

Without Watt, but they still have Watson!

There’s no doubt, young Watson is the future of Houston Texans.

Watson! Watson! Watson!

They’ve already found a new flag for the Houston Texans.

Even in Houston, it’s not all ironed out, fans have started to divide.

However, for O’Brien, it’s far from enough.

In his eyes, he sees all that endless support; their support equals a denial of O’Brien’s authority, openly supporting Watt’s provocation, meaning Watt seriously undermines his authority and dominance in the locker room.

O’Brien knows better than anyone the power Watt holds in the locker room.

When a player’s existence is greater than the team’s, in O’Brien’s view, it’s a crisis, potentially destabilizing the team’s foundation.

JJ-Watt indeed betrayed the Houston Texans, placing player interests above team interests, the former Houston hero is veering away from the team’s forward direction, arrogantly believing his existence is greater than the team, quietly turning into a destabilizing factor that could stir great waves if left unchecked.

Last season, the Houston Texans finally got on track, O’Brien fought hard to establish this dynasty, he can’t watch his efforts go down the drain.

One Hopkins as a warning is not enough, instead provoking resistance, he needs to show toughness, or it’ll all be for naught, he can’t accept it.

He refuses.

O’Brien’s eyes reveal decisiveness and determination.

The undercurrents are surging.

Originally, people generally believed that things might persist for a while, be it the New England Patriots or the Houston Texans, both won’t easily yield and allow players to run wild in their territory.

Look at Le’Veon Bell, refusing boot camp and game, dragging through a season, exceedingly tragic, bloody examples right before our eyes, still steaming.

Whether Brady or Watt, their matters aren’t simple, pulling one hair can affect the whole body, inside and out, the interests entanglement isn’t simple.

However, people’s expectations are once again wrong.

In the Professional League, as long as the numbers are right, then everything is okay, so-called conspiracy, so-called quagmire, it’s ultimately the numbers not being right.

Just within twenty-four hours of Ian Rapoport’s explosive report, in a mere day, the shock and impact haven’t been digested, Tom Brady himself responded on various social media platforms.

In this long article, Brady didn’t mention where he will go next, but he stated, "My football career will continue elsewhere... no matter what the future holds, I’m grateful for everything."

Boom, boom boom boom.

Everything is confirmed.

Although temporarily unknown where Brady’s next step will be, it’s a fact that Brady and the New England Patriots have parted ways.

From Belichick’s silence, it’s apparent this isn’t a pleasant break-up, despite being disciples for twenty years, ultimately ending with a rupture.

All along, inside and outside the league, have always been besieging the New England Patriots, the facts at hand again become the handle for public criticism of the New England Patriots.

"Under Belichick’s rule, no one is not for sale. Even Tom Brady isn’t."

"Belichick or Brady? The New England Patriots chose Belichick."

"Brady: Choose me or choose him? Only one of us can stay!"

"In this life-or-death choice, Brady never had a chance."

"So, will next season see a ’Brady VS Belichick’ battle to look forward to?"

Lively, extraordinary.

Thus, the New England Patriots’ twenty-year dynasty ultimately declared collapse, since the 2017 season with the Kansas City Chiefs and Li Wei’s strong rise, people have been discussing this matter, but Brady, Belichick, and New England Patriots supporters kept denying it.

No one expected, just three short years, the matter was settled.

The silhouette of Kansas City Chiefs writing threepeat, the backdrop of Brady and Belichick breaking, intertwined, ushering in a brand new era.

So, what next?

How will Belichick and the New England Patriots proceed? Is this dynasty team completely unprepared mentally to forcibly enter rebuild mode?

As for Brady, can he, like Big Manning, rejuvenate in a new team and prove himself. Back then, Big Manning topped the fiftieth Super Bowl and turned away amid flowers and applause, leaving a Hollywood fairytale of a perfect ending, what does Brady’s future hold?

A discussion about Brady’s next team erupts instantly, reaching a pinnacle.
