Could a mild concussion have clouded Brady's performance in the 2nd half?
 
Bedard says it might be possible but just a guess

Did Brady suffer a concussion? - ProSportsDaily.com

I was watching the game and after Brady got the helmet to the head it looked as if he walked off really dazed and in another world,it also looked as if Brady was feeling the effects about a quarter later as the camera shows him with his head sunk low on the bench.

Could a mild concussion explain the sudden bad throws and unusual behavior that the first 2 quarters didn't have?

Call it dark thinking, but the Patriots wouldn't and Tom definitely wouldn't allow himself to be checked even if he did suffer one.

It's one thing to lose your receiver that way, but Tom is another.

failure to properly handle a concussion would only succeed in getting someone suspended for a long time. you can't do that

The NFL has an independent Physical trainer in the viewers box, if he sees a player get hit he sends word down and they HAVE to check the player.

If brady was concussed he must have hid it well.

Brady always seems to hide injuries well + he is as tough a s.o.b. as QBs get....wouldn't surprise me if he played with a light concussion.

That probably explained the 11 or 12 seconds lost before the half when BB had the chase him down to call a Time out!:mad:

I have brought this up in several threads. I think there is a good possibility. Also he looked a little under the weather. There was a cold going around the team. Flying 3000 mi, playing in the rain....who knows. Not an exuse, just a possible senario.

I remember wondering if he had gotten his bell rung, but a concussion would be another way to describe the matter. Personally, I thought he just got gunshy after that. But a concussion would make the most sense since he was pretty close to abyssmal after that.

Sorry to be that guy.

I'm quasi convinced that Brady was concussed on the play where one of the Shawks lineman hit him helmet to face. This occurred at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Brady's 4th quarter included a handful of bounced passes, an interception in the end zone and his second intentional grounding of the game.

I don't expect to hear anything about it - but he clearly was not himself, so he was either injured or this was one of those "hit Brady hard and he won't respond" type things that we hear some opposing defenses say in the media.
