Since Moss last caught that catch from Brady for his record breaking 23rd TD in a season and Brady also notching his 50th TD pass at that time in January of 2007, Defenses have nearly shut down the pair from any major damage in games dating back 8 games ago when the two have been out there together.
After all those TDs between the two that in the past 8 games, Brady To Moss has only resulted in just 2 TDs and only 461 yards between the pair.
Averaging that out is nearly 0 TDs and only 57.5 yards per game - Thats not even in the same neighborhood as it was for 16 games in 07
I think defenses are taking Moss out of the game and CBs are playing as close up as they can and going the right routes to keep Moss from getting open and teams refuse to make Moss be the reason they get beat.
Of course Brady has missed some good opportunities to improve this average but he has been off target.
I wonder after looking at this if Brady to Moss being lethal is not as worrysome to defenses as it was before although I am sure we could see some TDs bring it back up but those last 8 games shows you it does not take DCs long to figure out and lasso this QB/WR combo and force Brady to look elsewhere and unfortunately for Welker it looks like he is going to have to be the guy to carry the load as the main target this year.
