He has a good point. The pats short passing game results in a lot of 3rd and 5s. Miss one of those and you're out and the drive is stopped.
So much for paying welker 10M a year or whtaever he wants. It's great he can first downs, but why are we always in 3rd and 5?
Did this make sense when you wrote it?
Want to expand some on what you mean by "Brady turns into a girl"?Ok, so answer this.
If Brady had QB'd that game, how many times would he have been sacked?
The Ravens O may not be built to Brady's strength, and it is fit to Flaccos, but it doesn't change the fact that under pressure, Brady turns into a girl and Flacco finds a way to make a play.

Gotta do better on first and second.
You sure are a rookie, must have become a fan a couple of years ago.The difference between Brady and Flacco is that Brady turns into a deer in headlights under pressure, and Flacco finds a way to scramble and make a play. Let's not fool ourselves guys, the way to beat Brady is to pressure him. The Ravens and Giants know this, and they do it. If Brady had QB'd for the Ravens, they would have been crushed and he would have been sacked 6 times. I don't think we'll win another one with Brady.
Yes, but it probably lost a little when I put it to writing. Basically we're in too many 3rd and longs. Welker converts many of them, great, but if he misses even one, drive is over. And that's what happens.
One game pats had something like 30 first downs. Which is great. But if you think about it, that means you're getting yards in short chunks, and that means you're going to be in 3rd downs a lot. Being in 3rd down isn't good. A short passing game has the weakness of causing a lot of 3rd downs. Then if you miss just one, drive over.
It makes sense. You just have to think about it.
Chris Price is dead on. Tom Brady and Randy Moss rewrote the record book in 2007. Compare the Patriots' wide receiving corps against the Ravens corps: Branch, LLoyd, Welker vs Bolden, Jones, Smith.

This is hilarious.
As a Texans fan I'd rather play Flacco, because we can & do get to him regularly & he becomes a "deer in the headlights"
We'd rather not play Brady, because we can't get to him without blitzing & he eats that sht up.

The key to winning the big games is having physical/agressive players on both D and O. Like a poster said earlier in this thread, with a healthy Gronk we are probably celebrating a SB win right now.
Sooo many people have been praising Flacco for his "amazing throwing down the field"!!:bricks:
Sure he caught fire in the post season But I'm giving most credit to the very physical WRs. Flacco throws the ball deep and it is then a battle between a CB and WR.

And there are still people here who think asking for another big guy is being stupid, since the Pats offense was one of the best ever (except teams that matter).
