When Brady chose to throw a long bomb to aiken on 2nd down at the end of the 4th to try to close the game out is one of the major problems we've had this season. better decision making needs to happen. Brady needs to take what the defense gives them. I would have like 3rd and very short alot better than 2nd and long on that series. shortly thereafter we were forced to punt.

i've seen improvement in more calculated drives but they still have moments of trying to swing for a homerun at ill advised times.

this attempt pretty much summed up the season IMO

Plays like this setup other plays ... if you don't stretch the field then it will be 8 in the box on defense for most of the game. Some people in this forum calling for Weis to come back ... Charlie was a master at running seemingly useless plays to setup other plays - they all do it.

I think thats what the defense gave Brady and thats who the open guy was. It wasnt a forced throw by any means. I actually thought Aiken could have caught that ball and also PI could have been called

I agree. It was a fine call and should have resulted in a first down and a big play.

The deep ball just hasn't been there consistently this year but as we start to run the ball consistently it will come along just in time for the playoffs, granted Brady doesn't over/under throw the receiver like hes been doing recently.

Deus Irae

The throw was on target and should have been caught, so I don't see any real problem with the decision making on the play.

Horrible non-call by the ref who was right there

MaxVonDoom

Long Bombs and the resulting penalties helped win us this game....I am so mad at you people

yep...the pass hit his hands...obviously his worst asset..there was blatant PI on the play but an NFL receiver has to make that catch.

Nothing wrong with the play in isolation,though i don't expectanything we do will make defenses respect Aiken as a long threat.

He is who he is.
