Is Tom feeling OK?

[fair catch fryar]

Is it just me or does Brady look like he's a little sluggish. If I had to guess, I'd almost say he might be fighting off a flu. Thank god for Kevin Faulk and LoMo!

 

[Nordy]

Kool-Aid and Kevin have his back.

 

[mgm79]

I dunno, let me give him a call on his cell and I'll let you know

 

[drew4008]

Yeah I don't know what was up with him today. Well the rest of the team pulled through for him that game... and now he needs to forget about it and tear it up in Arizona.

You do that.

 

[SuperStang83]

He looked terrible today, just lucky we had LoMo and Faulk on our side!!!

 

[Ootball]

Just to point something out: if Peyton has that game, he's a choker (also, his D doesn't step up to help him like Brady's did).

Just sayin', for the Peyton haters. Congrats, otherwise...

 

[Chris]

i think he looks sick.. i bet he has the flu..

 

[Doonan24]

Brady looked a little off from the first play of the game. Maybe it was the Chargers coverage, the have a great secondary but he just looked uncomfortable most of the day.

 

[Michael]

He's feeling fine now.

 

[Jr.]

He just said it was very cold and hes glad to be playing indoors next week

 

[IcyPatriot]

He looked okay during the interview ... just a tough day with Cromartie and Jammer.

 

[angelaf]

It looks like those three INTs are burning his belly, which is fine with me. He'll be really fired up for the Super Bowl.

 

[Patstopia]

I hear he has a shoulder issue.

 

[swheeler23]

Brady played well enough to get his team to the Super Bowl.Good for the defense for picking up the slack.

 

[Amazedbyitallin07]

I was thinking the same thing from the first quarter on. Of course, he played "well enough to win." But he did not look sharp at all. Head down all the time...didn't see the usual fire from him. Don't get me wrong though...like Bill says: No QB I'd rather have.

 

[Carpentier]

His numbers weren't actually this bad. 22/33, 209 yards, 2 TD/3 Int. Not great by any stretch of imagination but not too bad but while watching I had really the impression he played horrible. At the end of the day he played well enought to help the team winning the game.

 

[Fencer]

I think he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

Brady was glum because he was ineffective, not ineffective because of some little glum mood.

And by the way -- had the red zone defense been more ordinary, giving up 2 TDs instead of 0, the Pats probably STILL would have won. Brady wasn't all THAT bad either.

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

He got a bit aggitated with someone asking him if he felt ok, I think, during the first quarter sometime.

He wasn't 100 percent. But on the field, the Chargers had a lot to do with that.

Numbers aside, he just didn't have the accuracy we've been used to (read: spoiled by) all season. Faulk picked Brady up with some big catch-and-runs on balls thrown behind him and at his shoelaces.

So BIG PROPS to Josh McDaniels for tossing it all aside and inserting a whole new power gameplan late. Dang what a team. Ahhhhhh.
