It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I couldn't see the game today but I have noticed that there have been a lot more poor throws in the short to intermediate passing game this season. Drops, bad O-line play, and miscommunication have played a part but Brady just hasn't been himself this year.
Because he IS declining!
Don't let your lying eyes deceive you...
The confidence and will to win will go before the body goes. I mean, with great quarterbacks, they can always get by on their physical skills. I'm sure Joe Montana even today has better mechanics and physical skills than a good many starting quarterbacks right now. He just doesn't want to do it anymore. And even though he says he wants to play into his 40s, I have to wonder if he's playing because he wants to still compete...or because he still wants to win. Big difference.
All that . . . and Brady has also played like crap most of the year.Poor TE play
Poor WR play
Spotty OL play, especially at C/LT
Inconsistent running game
Absence of the short, interior passing game (i.e. Welker/Amendola)
Near absence of downfield interior passing game

Declining, pressing or just in a slump . . . who knows but it's not everyone else's fault.

My eyes don't lie Clare. The passes are taking longer to develop substantially from last year. And when the oline can't block to open them up, Brady is gonna look worse. The line has to step up. Because we can't hit close passes my being on the same page.

Yeah..... it's all on Brady declining. :bricks:
Even when he's had time, he's been off.
