I don't know if Brady had an off day or if Dungy out-Belichicked Belichick. During the whole game, the Pats offense looked confused and surprised by what they were up against. Throughout the game, Brady looked more confused than determined. It was a frustrating game to watch because the Pats played so inconsistently.
Brady never found his rhythm, and the play calling seemed to play into the hands of the Colts. The Colts pass D was far better than Brady's passing, yet we refused to more fully commit to our run game, which was doing so well.
I had the impression had times that Brady was competing with Manning. Normally Brady is the better QB because he doesn't make the game about himself, and runs the team like a fine machine. But, last night, he made the game about himself, trying to show the world that he was as strong a passer as Manning. Well, he's not.
On the bright side, after a poor first half, our D really slowed down the Colts. Our O line protected Brady and opened up holes for the running game, and our ST, though they gave the Colts good field position, did a good job in terms of the field position they gave us. Plus Gostkowski did as good a job as Adam.
