It has been reported that he requested his QB trainer to help him out and analyze his throwing mechanics.
This is BB and Brady playing with the minds of the Giants.
Disagree... The Ravens are just as good as the Giants in my opinion.
This thread is a great research pice. Thanks for sharing it with us.
In my mind, this SB is all about the play of Brady and our O Line. Anything we get from the defense and ST is gravy.
Say WHAT?
The bomb to Slater was a terrible risk to take. You have the ball at mid-field, mid 4th Q, the other team has no quick strike offense, so you methodically take the ball down the field instead of madly bombing into double coverage at a guy with one catch on the year.
Horrible risk to take, one of the worst play calls ever, and you are the first person I know of that things it was the right play call.
ivanvamp how do you come up with/generate these numbers?
It would take me days to come up with this data.
Thanks.
I would like to see what Brady's performance is coming off a bad performance followed by a week off to prepare for the next game?
espn.com's football stats, looking at game box scores, looking here (NFL Football on TeamRankings.com), etc. It is some work but it's fun for me anyway. Hope you guys are finding it interesting.
Brady has only had two "terrible" games which were followed by a bye week before his next game. Here they were:
2001 - week 16, he went 17-29 (58.6%), 198 yds, 1 td, 2 int, 62.1 rating against the Panthers. They earned a bye for the playoffs as the #2 seed, then hosted the Raiders in the Snow Bowl game. For that game, Brady had this line: 32-52 (61.5%), 312 yds, 0 td, 1 int, 70.4 rating.
2002 - week 6, he put up this line in a 28-10 loss to the Packers: 24-44 (54.5%), 183 yds, 1 td, 3 int, 44.0 rating. They had a bye for week 7, then they lost to Denver in week 8, 24-16, with Brady putting up this line: 15-29 (51.7%), 130 yds, 1 td, 0 int, 75.4 rating.
In 2007 he had a "bad" game in the AFCCG against SD in a 21-12 win: 22-33 (66.7%), 209 yds, 2 td, 3 int, 66.4 rating. They had the bye then played the Giants in the SB, where Brady put up this line: 29-48 (60.4%), 266 yds, 1 td, 0 int, 82.5 rating.
Here are all of Brady's stat lines the week after a bye. I'll designate which games followed anything less than a "good" performance, according to my rubric (marked with an *):
2001 - Divisional Round - 32-52 (61.5%), 312 yds, 0 td, 1 int, 70.4 rating - beat Oak 16-13*

2003 - Week 10 - 15-34 (44.1%), 212 yds, 0 td, 0 int, 64.8 rating - beat Dal 12-0
2003 - Divisional Round - 21-41 (51.2%), 201 yds, 1 td, 0 int, 73.3 rating - beat Ten 17-14
2003 - Super Bowl - 32-48 (66.7%), 354 yds, 3 td, 1 int, 100.5 rating - beat Car 32-29*
2004 - Week 3 - 17-30 (56.7%), 298 yds, 2 td, 0 int, 112.9 rating - beat Buf 31-17*
2004 - Super Bowl - 23-33 (69.7%), 236 yds, 2 td, 0 int, 110.2 rating - beat Phi 24-21
2005 - Week 7 - 14-21 (66.7%), 199 yds, 1 td, 0 int, 113.0 rating - beat Buf 21-16*
2006 - Week 6 - 18-27 (66.7%), 195 yds, 2 td, 0 int, 112.4 rating - beat Buf 28-6
2007 - Week 10 - 31-39 (79.5%), 373 yds, 5 td, 0 int, 146.1 rating - beat Buf 56-10
2007 - Divisional Round - 26-28 (92.9%), 262 yds, 3 td, 0 int, 141.4 rating - beat Jax 31-20
2007 - Super Bowl - 29-48 (60.4%), 266 yds, 1 td, 0 int, 82.5 rating - lost to NYG 17-14*
2008 - N/A
2009 - Week 8 - 25-37 (67.6%), 332 yds, 1 td, 1 int, 93.5 rating - beat Mia 27-17
2010 - Week 5 - 27-44 (61.4%), 292 yds, 1 td, 2 int, 69.5 rating - beat Bal 23-20
2010 - Divisional Round - 29-45 (64.4%), 299 yds, 2 td, 1 int, 89.0 rating - lost to NYJ 28-21
2011 - Week 7 - 24-35 (68.6%), 198 yds, 2 td, 0 int, 101.8 rating - lost to Pit 25-17
2011 - Divisional Round - 26-34 (76.5%), 363 yds, 6 td, 1 int, 137.6 rating - beat Den 45-10
That's 18 games following a bye. Of these 18, here's where they would fit in my rubric:
excellent: 3 (16.7%)
very good: 6 (33.3%)
good: 3 (16.7%)
average: 2 (11.1%)
poor: 3 (16.7%)
terrible: 1 (5.6%)
So 12 of the 18 (66.7%) were "good" or better.
Of these 18, just 6 of them followed a performance that was "average" or worse. Here were the QB ratings in those 6 instances: 70.4, 75.4, 100.5, 112.9, 113.0, and 82.5.
So again, a bit of a mixed bag. He's never been hideous in that situation, but he's never been insanely brilliant either. He's either been below average or very good. 50-50 proposition, really.
Wish I had better news to share!
The numbers are skewed down a bit by the data during the 2001-2003 results if you just considered the period from 2004 to the present the data would be very different.
He, like most QB's I would assume, also plays much better indoors.
Indoors Outdoors
QB Rating 103.1 95.18
Yards/Att 8.4 7.4

A HOF QB given some extra time to prepare has to be a decent improvement 2 weeks later.
...and, when was the last time he (and BB) lost to a team that had beat them the same year? I cant remember the last time we were wept by an opponent. I am not stating fact, i truely just cant remember
Agreed. While the Giants O may be better, you can make a strong case their D is not as good as the Ravens.
