Brady had plenty of time and the o-line did a pretty good job keeping Tuck, Umineyoria, and Strahan were kept at bay all game. It was perfect game conditions for Brady to sail it deep. McDaniels foolishly rather go with the short game which got Brady sacked or hit on almost every play in the first half.:bricks:
I'll say it, the OL played terrible last night but Brady wasn't so hot either. There were a few plays where he overthrew people even when he had time. His accuracy on the long balls was horrible and he held the ball too long looking for deep passes.
This backs up my point. Look at these sets.
3 WR/1 TE/1 RB -- 33 of 70
2 WR/2 TE/1 RB -- 20 of 70
4 WR/1 RB -- 9 of 70
1 WR/2 TE/1 FB/1 RB -- 5 of 70
3 TE/1 FB/1 RB -- 2 of 70
1 WR/3 TE/1 RB -- 1 of 70
Where are the adjustments??? How can you not try what has been succesful in the past. Not only that but why in the hell when you were on the 8-9 yard line going for a td with a first down do you not try and run it a few times and kill the clock a little or atleast make the Giants burn a few timeouts?
McDaniels isn't even on the top ten list of things that went wrong last night. Maybe the overall game plan was flawed, only dressing 2 TE, because maybe we underestimated the Giants pass rush and front 4 or overestimated our pro bowl studded Oline's actual capacity to handle them. But those wideranging decisions on overall approach aren't made by the coordinators. Those are the perview of the hoodie.
Brady even got pissed when the Pats lost the coin flip at the start--not exactly a professional response to a 50/50 proposition.
The last time I saw Brady act this way was during the Denver playoff game, and his play reflected that - missed throws, "imagined" pressure, etc.
Also, where were the flea-flickers, HB options and other formations to counter-act the jints' pash-rush? It was obvious by halftime that 7-step drops with 5/6-man protections weren't cutting the mustard.
Mcdaniels did call a horrible game, first call out its a trick play? a double fake handoff?
He wasn't imagining this pressure you nitwit. We're lucky he was still able to get upright to throw at all...
You're saying Brady had enough time to throw deep but not short??

Let me get this right - we can't protect enough to throw short passes and you want to go with flea flickers? You know it is the slowest developing pass play going, right?
