What is Wrong with Brady? The Debate Continues...

[Ring 6]

A new level of homer has been achieved

Apparently you just don’t understand, so you have a nice Christmas.

Honestly man, with that attitude it doesn't seem you have learned much from watching the Patriots. Brady and Belichick are champions because they champion staying hungry and never being satisfied. You on the other hand just claimed that everyone on this board should be "satisfied with a 21 point win." Belichick won't be framing the game that way. This was a grudge match that was 16-16 until near the end of the third quarter.

It would honestly be sad to see how much a loser attitude like "be happy" would have on the Patriots locker room. I'm not a fan of sexist language, but frankly the way you get to be a little ***** in the NFL is forgetting to only focus on the next game and how to improve for it... not reveling in a win over the Jills while managing to spell whiny wrong.

You are not s player on the team. You can be happy or mad over your 21 point lead. You are not relevant in terms of your level of enjoyment or lack thereof in the win.

Honestly I think at this point in his career he’s guilty of overthinking it at times....he’s at his best when he’s playing fast and loose and letting it fly

Yeah,like in the hurry up. I wish they used that more. The game turned around after they went to that.

Worst 4 TD, 37 point performance EVAH. #cliff.

This was the worst 21 pt blowout I ever saw #Cliff

Today, Brady was a liability. The team would have beat the Bills 36-9 if you take away the pick 6.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Without such blatant stats and other facts about Brady's play, people just refer to me as a lil ***** with no evidence. That's the nature of 2/3 of this board: more bromance and sexist posturing than actual football talk.

I'm confused. What do you mean by "you are not s?" Honestly, I'd like to understand your comment but can't make any sense of it.

In terms of "be happy," I'm not suggesting that players listen to fans. I'm stating that winning at anything in life is either about hard work or winning the lottery.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

He's old.
No one is pushing him.

I miss the old ROTFL emoticon.

Up next: Did Jimmy “the pusher” Garoppolo really win all those games?

MVP! MVP!

 

[RayClay]

So you think the Patriots win titles by being happy munchkins sipping their dunkin donuts lattes and talking about the good times? No. They man up and work their asses off to get better while guys like you whine about anyone calling out bad play.

It honestly makes me sick to see homers being homers. Brady would shake his head.

I'm a Patriots homer. What team do you root for?

 

[RayClay]

"We aren't on the field, obviously, but fan support has a modicum of impact on team personnel choices and play calling (depending on crowd noise).

I've got to admit you're right on this one. Belichick called me up drunk tonight an asked if I knew where to find a pass rusher for cheap.

Actually McDaniels calls me all the time, but I tell him I don't know anything about football plays. Finally I just suggested he send Britt and Gronk out together and throw the ball high, just to get rid of him.

 

[RayClay]

I do wonder about individuals like yourself.

You take what can only be described as a controversial/negative nancy position after a big/important win and then clap your hands to side of your head in wonderment at the response.

You wanted attention, now you've got it - you're crying about it.

Taking the time to start a thread that decries the Greatest QB of all time as a 'liability' makes me wonder of you've started early on the egg-nog or need a concussion test.

Wonder no more

 

[RayClay]

You wouldn't get out of bed if you were Brady because you don't have the work ethic.

I don't make the Patriots do anything personally, but fanbases do have some effect on teams. If they don't, then why even have teams with regional affiliations rather than touring the country like a carnival? Basically, you've been arguing this whole time that none of being a fan means anything. It sounds like the reason you watch is because you don't feel you have anything better to do. If the sport doesn't impact you and you can't derive any pleasure from it from a strategic standpoint... honestly, why watch?

Like a carnival? Like where you work?

So I had this dream where the Pats beat the CRAP out of the Bills. It’s definitely depressing to wake up from a nap and realize that the Pats lost the game and we’re forming the ever-popular circular firing squad.

Wait, we DID win? By HOW much? Really?

Please shut up about “5 int.s in 4 games.” We all heard the guy on TV say it. You didn’t just find the keys to the universe.

Let me know who you want under center instead. If you’re even a Pats fan.

Jesus, if he were done, you don’t think he could amuse himself around the house somehow?

Sorry his play has been so horrible, sport. Luckily, and purely by coincidence of course, the Pats have been building D and a run game while maintainlng whatever level of play Grandpa Tom can muster.

I’m thinking Brady’s “standards” are just fine. But maybe he’d play better if he curled up in a sad little ball and sobbed when a fantasy football site says to start somebody else or he threw an int.

Jesus h. Christ and the H. Is for how effing spoiled are we.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

I dont agree with this. In the last two years he had countless interceptable balls dropped by opponents at a rate that had to regress to the mean at some point. The way he continues to navigate the interior of the pocket smoothly and hits those seam passes to Gronk with the right amount of zip on the ball tells me that there is no substantial issue with him.

The irony of this entire thread is that while people love to **** on the OL for things they often are not responsible for the entire aspect of Thuney having a down month, Solder having a brainfart a week and us playing with ever-changing RTs gets ignored in favor of a Brady is getting worse narrative.

Like I said yesterday.. the throw-away in the endzone where he decided against throwing it into a tight window with double (maybe triple) coverage on Gronk is very telling that he is still on top of his game. People might call him the GOAT but he is not football Jesus and will make mistakes and can be baited to read things the wrong way like any other player.

Please don’t take my word for it. Just watch the tape. The tape does not lie. His ball, since the chargers game, when I think he first hurt his archillies, has lost some zip.

It has nothing to do with age or diminished skills, it is all about not being able to push off and step into his throws properly due to the injury.

I expect we will run the ball a good bit against the jets and keep brady’s throws to a minimum if possible. The goal being to have the archillies healed as much as possible for the 1st playoff game,

That’s not what I see at all.

We can only hope that Belichick is very hard on the team this week and gets their head straight so they can overcome this devastating and embarrassing 21 point win.

Damn that Brady, of course he sucks because he didn’t complete 10 of 9 passes in the second half.

When the rules change for the playoffs and games are only 30 minutes long then what do we do?

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Brady is bored till the playoffs start. Let's see how he does in three weeks before we question him. He knows what it's all about, and isn't putting it all on the line when he knows he has the post season in front of him.

 

[Doctor DDS]

Have not seen any decline in Brady's play during this stretch. He admittedly has a bad game against the Dolphins but it is not as if he has not had bad games in the past. He was sensational against Pittsburgh in the 4th quarter - scoring 11 crucial points when needed the most. Played well in both Bills games which team won by a combined 41 points. He is moving extremely well in the pocket and the overthrow to Cooks must have been 50 plus yards in the air on a rope. Not sure how he has lost zip on the ball.

He's bored? ************, Tom Brady's mannerisms and facial expressions during games suggest many emotions to me: frustrated, elated, pissed off, excited. Bored? Never.

Final two weeks are trivial to him...he's gonna make sure he's available for post season, not to say he doesn't care about winning the game, but he's definitely looking at the big picture.
