Agreed to an extent. I think you have to blame the whole offense though. The receivers weren't getting open and/or Brady wasn't finding them fast enough for the line to hold and that led to Brady trying riskier passes. Heaving it up to Moss is less risky than heaving it up to anyone else. Thus Brady heaved it up to Moss more than anyone else. I also think a little hubris set in. The Dolphins stink and weren't coming back.
There were a few times Brady tried to force the ball to Moss when he was double or triple covered and the Dolphins blitzed. That means there had to be someone open somewhere. I do agree that the rest of the offense does deserve some of the blame pie for the second half. I can't see throwing all the blame on McDaniels (although he does deserve some of the blame too).
