In the NFL.com Pats vs Chargers "game of the week" video, a SD secondary coach on the sideline at the 2:50 mark tells the defense that Brady is tipping his passing targets.

I saw this too and was wondering the same thing. My guess is that BB and Tom will pick up on this and take the steps necessary to rectify the situation.

I heard that too and I'm not sure that the DC really had a valid point. I think he was trying to get the secondary to stay sharp. The 3 interceptions were results of poor throws, not the DB "reading the QB" and stepping in front of the pass. It was a horrible day to be throwing the ball with accuracy.

I thought Brady was going to his 3rd, 4th and 5th options regularly during the game. Not sure how that "tipped off" the defenders.

Could it be like when TB was early in his career and he used to pat the ball just before throwing it? Or was that Bledsoe? I'm pretty sure it was TB.

That was Bledsoe.

Last week, someone had posted that one of the Chargers defensive men had broken the code on Peyton's audioables at least enough to know if it was going to be a run or pass.

Every team studies their opposition to find patterns and tells.

The chargers had 30 int during the regular season, the rest of the league each team between 11-22. That not just #1, that is dominating a category.

It is almost certain that Brady has a tell. Everybody has them. The hard part is finding them.

It is quite possible that Norv, the DC or one of the people on the Chargers staff is very good at what he does. And found some tell-tail signs. Not a perfect read, but that on a some of the plays if he does this, than that will happen.

This is a good point, despite the fact that Brady will go through his progressions, perhaps he is tipping his primary receiver, and that may be enough to help the D.

I agree on the poor throws too, don't think SD made any great plays (save for the one in the end zone, but I thought that was a somewhat poor throw as well). I haven't heard much more about Brady being sick, but I still think that it was a possibility.

Did anyone else feel like the DB's for the Giants had a poor game against GB except for a couple of plays? 37 looks like he is chasing the play down from behind all the time. And he looks sloooooowwww.

Jaworski speculated that his right ankle injury might have prevented TB from pushing off and getting everything on the ball that he usually does. Of course everything is conjecture at this point.

If he was somehow tipping his targets I suspect the problem will be either rectified or exploited by the Pats, ie. false tips.

Great film. Most of the shots seem to be from the Chargers' sideline. Is there a reason for that?

And here I thought this was about Brady giving his WR's a little cash after each game
