Was this Brady's "Stinker"? - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

Brady had some near-INTs. And just about everybody had a drop, making me wonder if Brady was a bit off in delivering the ball.

I'm with Patjew.

So that means next week he could have a huge bounce-back game... meaning 5 or 6 TDs.

This is just in fun...

If I'm not mistaken, at one point in the game Tom Brady was 22 of 29 passing. If anything, the offensive play calling in the second half was a stinker, as well as the New England Patriots offensive execution.

I thought Brady was amazing against Philly. I saw a ton of dropped balls, a ton of pressure brought on by a great pass rush and pretty terrible protection, and an offense that should have had the ball 2 additional times (without the 3 INT's and the on-sides kick, they probably would have had the ball a few more times than they did).

All in all, despite decreased production (and, really, is 380 yards and a 90 rating all that bad?) Brady performed admirably in the game.

That said, let's hope for 0 stinkers this year...a perfect season is no longer perfect when the MVP has a stinker.

It was a stinker only in comparison to what he'd done all season. In any other year, we would say he played a great game (380 yards passing, 1 TD, 0 INT, something like 65% completion ratio and the Pats WON) against a tough opponent.

I think he played worse against the Colts when he had an uncharacteristic 2 picks. He played fine against the Eagles considering the pressure and the fact that the Eagles were allowed to mug Moss at will.
