Why was Brady so off? - New England Patriots Forums

Nest to Cleveland and the Jest away that was TB's worst performance of the season by a long way, missed receivers, bad decisions, clock management, holding on to the ball far too long

Was it just a bad game, poor play calling, poor separation by the WR's, great jets coverage. All the above?

Probably all of the above. He choked hardcore. Looked almost scared out there, like a deer in the headlights.

That he did but wonder why, was it the sacks, the playcalling, Welker's benching? He just looked flat, no emotion as the leader of that offense

My buddy speculated that something big happened behind the scenes that we'll be hearing about later. But that's just pure speculation. I'm really not too sure to be honest. Only Brady and the coaching staff know why. But it wasn't only Brady. There were only a handful of players that showed up today and the coaching staff completely took the day off.

Was reading about how the jets players credited a new game plan to confuse brady and disrupt the time, it appears to have worked. So after reading that i put most of the blame on poor coaching by the patriots.

Maybe he was afraid of throwing a pick

I have no idea what has happened to Tom Brady. His performance last night reminded me so much of the Giant SB game. Brady looked flat, unemotional, confused at times. Did not look or act like a leader on the field. Brady lacks mental toughness right now and I don't know why.

He seemed ok before the INT and seemed ok when we needed to score even though one can say the Jets were playing softcoverage at the end.

Brady is a streaky QB that needs to 'get a hot hand'. Kind of like a Shooting Guard in basketball that goes on a hot streak.

Jets found a perfect way to stop his momentum every time he marched down the field. Faking injuries and getting free time outs.

Jets 5 free time outs slowed down No Huddle offense

There was no disruption of timing. Brady had forever to throw. A passing offense finds it very difficult when neither wideout commands a double team.
