At this stage in Brady's career I'm never quite sure whether to blame Brady or McDaniels on playcalling
Early in this game Brady was spreading the field, and on one drive used 6 different receivers for 9 completions
Later, as the pressure on the OL and Brady mounted, it seemed like Brady was opting for mainly Edelman/Gronk supplemented by very short pass plays to a limited number of other receiving options
i.e. teams know that if they pressure Brady he'll forget about spreading the field and opt for just one or two players
That's when things became less productive. Now, was that McDaniels playcalling or does Brady have the authority to call his own plays and pick his WRs.
My guess is Brady has the authority to do as he pleases and that can foster predictability when under fire
