Honestly, Brady is the same Brady as last year or the year before, but the room for error is pretty much nonexistent for the offense. When your top 3 receivers are in the top 5 of drops and your O-line is probably the most inconsistent in the last 3-4 years, it is hard to put up Manning numbers.
I seriously saw Manning throw at least 8 long passes that were ducks today that should have been picked, but either the defender dropped it, or the receiver made a miraculous catch. Somehow he still manages to throw for 350+ yards and 3 tds.
In all fairness though, Brady has been missing more throws than usual, and having uncharacteristic mistakes like the pick 6. You NEVER see Brady doing that! I think Brady is just over thinking and trying to do much. I have faith that Brady will have a strong second half. Remember that in 2010 Brady was playing average at best the first eight weeks, then had an amazing run. I really think this can happen once all the pieces get healthy.
