It's easy, and only takes a few moments.In a league dominated by coaching and strategy more than any other major pro sport, we still have clowns like Kontradiction (very telling username) who think that Belichick has been running the same style/scheme offense and defense since 2001, the only difference being personnel.
You never stopped to wonder why it was so eerily similar to the 07 Giants game? Did you ever wonder why a 3 to 5 man rush can beat our O-line, after the Saints did the same thing? Do you wonder why a mediocre Saints secondary could stop Moss and Welker?
The predictability on both sides of the ball are causing our pass protection issues, as well as our pass rush issues.
Look at the play by play of the last game. Sean Payton intentionally keeps Drew Brees under center as much as he can. Why? Because he knows the inherent benefit that the threat of run does to the opposing D-line, the corners, LB's and safeties. Even a 4-man D-line can wreak havoc against a 5-man O-line if they essentially blitz all day against our shotgun-happy offense. When you don't have to mind any running gaps it's MUCH easier to sprint, juke, and pull moves against offensive linemen.
If you think that BB has changed the base offense since 2004, you're more than welcome to offer up proof of that.

Your preaching to the choir. We won 3 super bowls with that same philosophy. its only been the last couple of years were Brady has stopped looking for the open receiver.
To stay on topic, I'm not sure you have to have the greatest performance in modern football history to hit a wide receiver who was in 30 yards of space.
That's dismissing the majority of his throws which were great reads and all with pin point accuracy even with coverage.
2004 Offense and 2009 offense are day and night different. Don't really need to offer proof, just a logical argument. If our base offense were the same since 2004, teams would be shutting us down. In the NFL, you either evolve or get buried.
I'm not arguing that he wasn't great, but messiah is a little much. He threw 18 passes for a shade under 400 yards. It certainly wasn't Brady v. Pitt or Jax in 07.
Brees completed 18 passes for about 400 yards and 5 TD's, which is a perfect QB rating, against the 2nd stingiest defense going into the game.
Brady has a few performances like this that are just as good, but not better.
