I think my blood pressure may have finally returned to safe levels after the god damn repeat of failure. But to the point...it was when we took over backed up in our own end zone, up a few points, nine minutes to go. What does the brain trust come up with?! You got it, the same stupid idea that netted the giants a safety on our first play from scrimmage. This time, nobody but Brady in the back field, no guessing, no authority, just chuck it up like your down two scores.
The worst part? The oline was fired up. They were down right nasty the few times they got to go on the attack. I hate to say it, but losing Brady may help us assuming his back up is at least mediocre.
What won us super bowls? Ted Washington, and a steady diet of big, Bill nosed rb, letting TB pick his spots and get chunks when the defense slipped up. Would we have ever seen this twice in the same game (let alone the super bowl) pre 07?
Brady never won a championship throwing it deep (ok, Carolina was a shoot out at the end) consistently, or being the dynamo behind the high powered offense. Hell, he can't even find wr that can get anywhere near to being on the same page, and yes, I put that on him. Asking these athletes to read that much post snap clearly is asking too much. Simplify things, let the a+ athlete with the two cent brain come make us forget about the abortion that is Ocho. Then lets start pounding the ball a bit more. Find out what we have in those two young backs and help extend bradys shelf life a bit.
In theory it would help give the defense a breather and suddenly sounds like an all around win. I'd think it would be easier to get pressured into passing when it isn't your strong suit, but still come out the victor then to have your passing game 86d and be forced into running a bit to open up some space. Maybe I'm sick of us abandoning the run the last few years, and in turn have been screwing the pooch in big games as well. The hell with new toys for Brady, he has plenty (Benny, the rb babies, gronk, the pot head, Welker), make sure the line is in good shape and stand pat.
The defense needs some serious ******* help. dl, lb, DB...we are weak every where. Sure lb isn't that bad, but I encourage you all to take a peak at the 03, 04 rosters. Talent doesn't grow on trees, and it often goes early in the draft. Sure there are plenty that skip through the cracks, but it it's time to get some studs on the defensive side of the ball. Then Tf'nB cab sail off into the sun set with another ring, maybe two, and Tf'nB Jr can try to manage his way to a ring like a former late round back up I heard about once....
