The ONLY way to get this offense working again is if Tate steps up and becomes a legit #1 deepthreat, but we have seen nothing yet to suggest he can do that.

IF Brady simply puts his throws where they should be we keep drives going and this is a different game, is it all Brady's fault? Of course not, there were dropped passes that should have been caught but Brady must take some of the blame.

As for Moss, he's almost exclusively a deep threat and throwing the deep pass is the weakest part of Brady's game.

That was a long time ago and before Tommy lost his ACL

Saying things authoritatively does not make them so. They're 28th in the league rushing yds/game. Pats are 23rd.

I know people were all giddy that this offense was suddenly some magical offense that would always just win, but that was never the case. They need the defense to give them enough chances to claw their way. Brady will NOT make many mistakes, but it's tough to score with a mediocre running back, no deep threat and dare I say an average OC. It's that much harder when your talent on offense is so young and they have as many drops as they've been having.

WOW
You finally admit the limitations of our crack Offensive coaching staff?
Hokey Smokes!!!!!!!

Brady was mediocre but not putrid. Brady had a QB rating of 90.5 today with a couple of TDs and no picks. His completion % was low at 52%, but he had a bunch of drops too. Many plays nobody was open. The line created few hoels for runners, and our best RB is a 5'7"guy undrafted FA. The worst running backs Brady has ever had, IMO. His best receiver is a rookie TE, and he has no deep threat. The offensive coaching is uninspired.

You would think that the 2nd-half, Patriots would adjust. Nope. D-line was totally lost on stopping PeytonH. Safeties were bad stopping the middle passes. Brady looked confused on many throws (under throw, over throw). Running plays had little gain. OC/DC were not prepared.

This is the worst RB group (I won't count Taylor since he's not in the mix right now) in the Patriots Super Bowl era. The receivers are Tate, a clearly rehabbing Welker and an injured Branch. Gronkowski still hasn't arrived in Cleveland, and Hernandez was dropping passes and running bad routes.

When has Brady played with less?

agreed... some throws were just awful, others were because of WR's mistakes
Ok Im not saying trade him or that he sucks ...he had a bad game... but this season alone I've seen too many of those "un-Brady" like throws... you just dont see that kind of performance from a future hall of famer QB.

ok now.. the footie-pajama, thumb-sucking fans.. have at it and tell me what a moron I am for criticizing TB

wait I am not done yet...
the defense sucked...offense was waaay to predictable.

Brady isn't the same player he was in in the Super Bowl years. He has more important things on his mind like little Ben and the house he is building in LA. There just isn't that drive and intensity anymore in his game.
