only a handful of plays and this team only has 2 wins...buffalo, saints, jets
 
I am worried about this team stopping the run.

Without Vince and Mayo they need to make a move. I don't know why any team would bother throwing, I'd run it down the gut of this team every time.
 
Brady has 25 yards passing in the 1st half!!!!! Have we ever seen that before? He used to get that on one play.

When you can't get off the field on D and your offense can't throw it more than 10 yards downfield, you're not going to move it much.
 
In all seriousness is this the inevitable beginning of the end for Brady? Is this what we all knew was going to happen to his skills? Does he have at least a couple more seasons or is he really dropping off a cliff in regards to his ability to play?
 
Have to get a touchdown on this first drive. Spread em out and take some risks. Have to get something going. If you don't leave the defense on the field all day they can stop these guys.
 
Brady has played horrible...really bad decision making. And benching ridley when he's been productive is just plain stupid

I bet ridley gets the first down on 3rd and 1

I agree. Blount is so slow that I think he's running backwards. Bolden, though serviceable, has lapses in games and doesn't run with power. Heck, he was on the bubble at points in training camp. The situation with Ridley is just baffling. There just has to be something going on behind the scenes with his behavior and/or relationship with the coaching staff.
 
Well, at least next year can't be any worse, barring a meteor crashing into Gilette and killing our roster.
 
How would trading for Gordon or Fitz or any WR help? Brady only trusts Gronk and to some extent Edelman.

Get your heads out of your asses and realize that Brady needs to trust the other WRs.
 
Brady has to be hurt He's passed for 25 ******* Yards. They should put in Mallett I'm afraid he's just going to injure himself further at this point and he isn't playing well. I'm finding it hard to believe he's healthy.

Mallett ain't doing any better with these receivers and O'line play.
 
thompkins and dobson even on the team anymore?

Tebow can run for more than 25 yards in a half.

They could also be somehow 7-0 with a few plays going the other way as well
 
I can't speak on the other games you're alluding to, but I can understand why such a decision was made in this game. What has this offense shown you that suggests they'd magically put together even a good drive at the end of the half? They've been abysmal all game long, even with the scoring drive. Our outside receivers (rookies) have sucked d*ck this season except for a few plays here and there. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but I agree with the decision to take a knee and not risk a TO or another three-and-out.

The team is down 11 pts, Miami is purposely killing the clock and "managing" like clock like all smart coaches do to not give the opponent a chance to get that field goal back, there's 1:20 left on the clock and you think it's good strategy to just keep those timeouts and let the effin clock run out ????? C'mon. Who would honestly do that, especially being down 14 pts ????? It's inexcusable
 
I do believe that his play against the run has been the knock on him. He's a great pass rusher, but he isn't as great against the run. Take that with a grain of salt, however, as I have not watched too many Vikings games.


We have DEs, we need DTs or Kelly at least. Forget Jared Allen.

Play better but Vellano is getting pushed around.

Brady must throw outside and run Ridley.

Oh well, second half and we'll adjust. :)

team doesn't even deserve the 5 they will have after today
 
Tom Brady is just not what he used to be, and I don't get that. Hell, even Peyton Manning is older and still playing great then why can't Tom? Tom is just not the quarterback he was, still good but not great. Today proves that. No way you have Gronk, Amendola, Edelman, and struggle. Tom needs to pull his head out of his "blank"
