No- You should take it as I just played a quick 9 holes of golf and do not camp out on this board all day.
A) you have no concept on how awful and injured the o-line was and how everything with running the ball and play action starts with that. Brandon Bolden has done nothing to earn 15 carries in a playoff game. Nothing.
B) TB12 crappy in championship games?
2016- Hes was fine. Everyone else except Gronk had an awful day- The line was brutal.
2015- He kicked ass
2013- No Gronk- he was fine
2012- No Gronk and WW drops a key 3rd and 7. D falls apart on 2nd 1/2 w/o Talib.
2011- AFCCG- BAL is a tough team. He did enough. 1 legged Gronk and TB12 has a separated shoulder.
2007- High ankle sprain at end of JAX games catches up with him in AFCCG.
Even the greatest QBs don't win all their championship games but w/ 3 SB appearances and 6 AFCCG appearances to say he sucks in those games is like I said, misinformed.
I'm trying to be courteous and respectful with your posts but man you are off the deep end with some of the things you say.
You are dangerously close to troll-status.
Oh my god.
High ankle sprain in 2007 eh? Could it be that happened because of what I am talking about here? Apparently, what I am saying is right over your head. If he has a sprain, why is he throwing MORE? lmao
I mean, every excuse you and others make, simply does not make sense. In every other world, coaches hide key players' injuries, they don't expose them. But, Brady thinks he infallible, apparently, and here we are blowing yet another big game over it.
I can tell you live in New England and don't really have any friends outside of the NE area.
That's the difference. Brady sucks in a playoff game, and fans outside of NE get absolutely hammered, with no defense from co-workers and friends, with nothing to say, because this is his show as a HOF QB.
And, that's with me ADMITTING the O Line wasn't good in the title game in January.
He can't avoid any accountability, though. Why do online Pats fans do this? They can't ever admit he sucked in a game or was mediocre, and not the real reason for a win.
I find it odd, he's not begging for a legit 3 down back from BB, too. Why is that? He's 39 and not getting younger, but somehow avacado ice cream can save the day?
You natives live in bubble, have no idea how badly Brady is hated, how he's seen as someone who went from being a team guy to a me guy, with the model wife, the limelight, etc, and how it's backfired so badly for him.
And, now, Deflategate.
1 legged Gronk in 2011's title game? That injury happened halfway through the game and BJGE was mysteriously benched after 8 carries and 50 yards at halftime. So, which is it? If Gronk is hurt, wouldn't it lend one to believe to block MORE for a run game and a lead at halftime?
You're proving my point for me.
In 2011, he was absolutely horrendous. Even he said so. Thanks to Sterling Moore and Cundiff, we won. I can't believe we got to SB 46 and these he's asleep at the wheel to start that SB. Remember?
His INT rate in 2011 was skyrocketing to an all time high in Nov 2011. He had 3 INTs vs Dallas at home, staring down binkies and then 2 vs the Giants, also staring down binkies. THe D was outstanding in both games, only suffering key losses to Spikes/Chung late in the Giants game, which set up the loss. But. I'll take a D pitching a shutout for a half or allowing a FG, all day everyday in this era.
In 2007, he was also horrendous for 3 INTs and only 2 Samuel INTs bailed that situation out, as did Laura Maroney's 22 carries and 122 yards, most of that when McDaniels woke up and told the O Line to start run blocking in the 4th.
This has been going on for almost a decade. There's a reason why his TD/INT ratio has gotten worse, namely because he's chosen to do this finesse shotgun spread thing, thinking he is so good, it's the best way to help the team win. It's only partially true and mainly NOT true vs good or great defenses, which show up in title games and SBs and sometimes in the divisional rd (Ravens 2009, Jets 2010).
Entering the 2013 postseason, his TD/INT ratio was 27 Tds, 17 INTs, since 2007 in the postseason, if I am not mistaken. That's off of memory after doing the research. That is pretty bad. Nowhere near a 2:1 ratio.
It's like Jay Cutler territory.
But, let's blame all the non-star players and everyone on the defense to deflect from the facts.
The only people misinformed are the ones in denial and trying to deflect from facts or promoting the ol ignorance is bliss theory, which in your case, appears to be the truth.
Hint: Why do you think BB dealt MOss in early 2010? It wasn't JUST because of MOss wanting a new deal. It was because Brady was awful, staring down Moss/Welker only, throwing INTs left and right.
Remember Week 2 vs the Jets in 2010?
Great first half, balanced offense, etc,....Then, what happened? INTs left and right and Brady was staring down Moss.
Loss.
PS The O Line was bad for 2 reasons this past AFC Title game:
1. Injuries
2. Lack of continuity.
Wait for it...........
3. Allowing Denver's frothing D to swarm and attack and dictate. A run game with 2 TEs blocking and Bolden getting a heavy work load early, would have stemmed the tide and gotten Brady to legit playaction by the 3rd qtr.
That's how deep this shotgun spread addiction is for Brady.
