Agreed, good post and DaB's as well. Something's up that's for sure and while Brady (among others) gets a piece (and I think Brady's hurting more than he lets on) there's a larger disconnect, beyond the players' execution or injury status.
i think the disconnect is that they have no confidence or feel for the game. They seem to want to change it up just because they want to outhink someone and end up screwing themselves. Yes in the past teams pats would throw in the 4th Q even with weis andJmcdand thats how they played with guts.But right now its not working either because of personnel or playcalls or lack of timing whatever. Sometimes you need to realize your limitations at certain times in a game. The last 3rd down pass today to welker - iam sure a lot of us wouldve taken a maroney dive in the middle and let the defense finish it since today our D played well .the play worked but hasnt worked consistently all season when we want to throw the ball in crunch situations..why i dont know...
