You are correct. Brady didn't throw the ball right even when he wasn't under pressure. He is not right. The pressure, I am convinced, had little to do with the offense's performance. The fact is that they never generated near the kind of pressure that, for example, the Giants did in SB42...

Because he hasn't come up with a defense that does all that. He played a completely unprepared Houston team weak one, and a team week 2 with a quarterback who can't currently throw the ball straight, one rookie WR and a third WR that doesn't have the system down yet. Now, that's not to say...

You're right that I can't get into his head specifically, but what I'm saying is based on the experiences of others who have come back from this type of injury as well as those who specifically know Brady and have commented on it.

I think that there's a misunderstanding here. Brady's problems aren't physical, and the knee brace has very little to do with anything. It's not as if there are some things he can do and some he can't. The problem is, as has been said by every expert on returning from this kind of injury...

As I've said before, the problem on Sunday (and last Monday) was that Brady is not yet mentally comfortable playing football. The counters to those blitzes were certainly employed in the game, but Brady is not currently stepping into throws or hanging in the pocket under pressure. When he does...

Re: This one's on Brady I agree entirely. It is important for the "The O-Line was terrible" posters to recognize that even when he had all the time in the world, Brady's throws were terrible. Additionally, when he did face pressure, he threw off of his back foot. There were many cases where...

I don't dispute that the Jets got pressure at times. What I dispute is that it was sufficient pressure to stifle the offense. As I said, Brady threw poorly both when he was pressured and when he was not. He also did not stand in in the face of the rush as he has been one of the best at in the...

As I said elsewhere, the difference in this game between a loss and a 30 point win was that right now, Tom Brady is terrible. Pressure on the QB really didn't have that large an impact on this game. There was a lot of pressure at times. other times, there was almost no pressure. The thing to...

Look, I really can't stand to hear a bunch of doom and gloom today. The fact is, the the single difference between losing this game today by 7 and winning by about 30 was that Tom Brady is awful right now. We can't blame him for that; it's to be expected and is entirely consistent with what...

OLB and ILB are very different positions, despire both being linebacker positions. A player who is very good at one position may be mediocre or worse at the other.

The point is not that the defense succeeded altogether. Rather, it is that the defense prevented Buffalo from being able to do anything offensively for most of the game, which indicates an ability on their part to play strong defensive football. They had a few lapses in the first game -...

It's actually a little inaccurate to include two scrambles by the QB which are very large numbers and heavily skew the results when trying to analyze the run defense. Unless these were designed runs (which they are not), they really apply much more to the pass defense. If we take Edwards'...

I keep repeating this everywhere because it seems as though (from what I'm hearing and reading) that nobody's aware of it. The Bills had 8 offensive possessions. This was the result of each: 1. 0 first downs, punt 2. 3 first downs, TD 3. 1 first down, punt 4. 1 first down, punt 5. 1...

Actually this is a misconception that has been undertaken by many people. That call was actually on 1st down, so the drive couldn't have been "stopped"; it would have been 2nd and 25 or so. Certainly a large hole to crawl out from, but not a certain stop.

I agree with the OP for the most part. I think the biggest thing that is being missed by folks reporting a falling sky is that the defense didn't play half bad. In fact, they played somewhat well. The best way to demonstrate this is by looking at Buffalo's offensive possessions: 1. 0 first...

Re: Everyone's thoughts on ONLY the defense..... As I said in the another thread, I think that after sitting back and thinking about it out of the moment of emotion, the defense performed a lot better than it may seem. Look at the Bills offensive possessions: 1. 0 first downs, punt 2. 3...

Re: Thoughts on the Game This game looked to me a lot more like the instance of a team not entirely in sync yet than a bad team or a team incapable of playing outstanding football. The offense was very out of sync in the first half especially, not able to get on track. That said, it wasn't...

Which wiki page is this? I can't find it.

The answer was not incorrect. The example I gave for it (of the Colts as a 2 gap team) was. The answer was not specific enough for what you were trying to explain - i.e., a vanilla base alignment for a 2 gap team vs. a specific, situational alignment. However, it's really not even accurate...

I have to disagree with that - not because I want to bash on the Jets or anything, but because I really just don't think it's true. The Texans have been a bad team since they came into the league, and they were a bad team last year, and for no real reason the "experts" decided they were going...
