So much for the "Patriots can't win unless Brady carries them" mantra. What is wrong with Tom Brady?? Even before his binky Moss was traded Tom Brady has not put together a great game from beginning to end. Until yesterday the O-line has been quite good this year. Brady has been given time and has been clean at the end of most games this year and yet his passing game has been very erratic. Tom has been "off" alot this year. Throws at guys feet, throws to their wrong side, missing wide open receivers.....
Any theories as to why??

We are talking two games vs. two of the best defenses in the league. Brady couldn't put together a complete game against the Jets with Moss on the field either.

It's the hair, seriously.

Wow,


Dude was under constant pressure and the receivers could not get seperation.

To the contrary I say without Brady we probable would not have scored the points we did.

That's too simplistic an answer. How to explain the impotence in the 2nd half against the Bengals? The Jets? The Miami game was ugly for this offense, same for yesterday. Until yesterday this O-line has kept Brady upright and clean and yet he's been "off" quite a bit this year. I just worry that maybe the beating he's taken over the course of his career is starting to catch up to Tom Brady.

The Dynasty

Statistically he is the 5th best QB in the league when you look at QB rating. You have to take into consideration the defenses the Pats have faced this season. Unlike last season, Brady has actually won a game in the 4th quarter and hasnt been making too many mistakes. While he may not look as flashy as say in '07, he is putting together a pretty solid year and really helping the team win

PowerRunRevival

Even if he is playing against the best defenses, he has not shown the same accuracy he has shown in the past. Even a lot of the catches were not put in the correct spot, forcing the receivers to go down instead of continuing to run.

That being said I expect him to revert to his top qb in the league form when Welker sheds the knee brace and becomes the old Wes ( I don't buy the without Moss he won't be able to get open theory).

The team is 5-1.....Thats enough for me.

Wow indeed!! We're talking about the entire season not just yesterday. Try to follow along.
"Dude" has NOT been under constant pressure all season long (this O-line has been terrific until yesterday) and his receivers had no problems with separation in most games this year yet this QB and this offense have gone flat for long stretches. My question is what is up with Brady?

PatsFanSince74

Two thoughts.

One, as others have observed, some of his "off" games have been against great D's.

Two, I think our opponents are still basically playing us to pass and daring us to run. I think Taylor's return could make a difference.

Bottom Line: I'd still take him over any other QB in the League.
