Beyond playbook: strange play fiesta (gifs)

[long distance]

A lot of unconventional, strange plays needed to turn this game over. Here's some of them:

Bad knee Brady unlikely leading blocker with uncanny authority ..



Double QB experiment with very lucky result
(Hogan's “Hail Mary“ in the middle of the game - a feel of huge turnover-like play that changed momentum)



TB adding some basketball feature to a TD pass

I know Brady is an all-in kinda guy, but being a lead "blocker" with an already gimpy leg was a really bad idea. Lucky someone didn't light him up.

Bennett was wide open on the Brady fumble TD play.

Wow, the Jets had a chance to destroy Brady and they avoided hitting him

Much to the chagrin of the 40,000 jets fans (and to the joy of the 40,000 Patriots fans) in attendance

The whole sequence just exemplifies his general mentality. That's why he is having one of his best seasons at that age. Commitment to winning at every game, drive, snap.. even breath.

Compare this to how Newton infamously behaved in the SB and you have the dilemma of drafting QBs right there. Intangibles..

They probably thought it would be flagged even if the hit was legal because "the league will protect Brady at all costs"

Yes, the Jets have now redeemed themselves and should be considered one of the more respectable teams in the League. Hard to root against them now.











wait for it...wait for it...

One thing with Brady love him to death but when I see scrubs like Trevor Siemian hitting guys in stride and Brady missing them can't help but sigh. Connecting on those can be the difference between a close game and a blowout. Brady now have to very good outside guys in Mitchell and Hogan, been many moons since we have two outside guys who can run the entire route tree. Gotta make the D pay Brady.

Loved the Brady pass but not sure if the fumble is the best call by McDaniels. A bit risky.

Hogan was under some pressure, but I don't think that the Hogan pass was a "lucky" result. It would have been an easy TD if the receiver wasn't tackled before the ball arrived. If the ref did not call that, then the concept of pass interference would not even exist in his mind.

We know it wasn't drawn up that way and only happened because Blount reversed field when there was nothing on the right side and made it a ten yard gain out of bubkas......

Bennett was wide open on the Brady fumble TD play.

Brady also missed wide-open receivers in the first quarter, because he was locked-on to a hurting Gronk.
Had he merely finished his progressions, he would've found guys running free in the spaces that were created by the attention Gronk was drawing. We should've already had at least 2 red zone opportunities
by the time the Jesters scored their first TD.
