It's easy, and only takes a few moments.There have been times when the defender has gone around Newhouse without him getting so much as a finger on the guy. That's just ridiculous.We have been stuck with Marshall Newhouse for the past 9 weeks. Newhouse is playing for his 7th team for a reason. Watching Brady with that kind of protection against a nasty philly front 7 was painful. Philly exploited it the most but Newhouse has been a major liability all year.
I probably mistook your post.Is there more I should expect from a team that is 9-1?
Chaos on line and in receiving corp. He does not seem as mentally resilient though. He has a history of getting a bit hissy but usually grounds himself again. Its been longer this time. He seems blind to why AB had to go.
His best game of the year so far passing wise has actually been game 1 against the Steelers. People have been so caught up on how good the defense has been playing that they have not thought about how Tom has been playing this year. He has never had a passer rating that is below the league average in his entire 20 year career. So far, however that has been the case, his passer rating so far is actually lower than it was in 2013 which was a hard year because of the likes of Aaron Dropson and Thompkins. I really hope this isnt the cliff and it's because of the offensive line not giving him the time he has been accustomed to in recent years or the lack of reliable weapons similar to 2013. The eagles were blanketing edelman almost the entire game, Harry is still getting accustomed to the system and Sanu was not able to get much separation throughout the game. You could say that the lack of Gronk is also causing the offense to look anemic but Brady did not have Gronk for most of 2016 and thrived in the games that he played. I seriously hope it is not the cliff and Wynn comes back and we see the Brady of old late in the season and during the playoffs because if it is the cliff, Pats are in trouble. Offense playing like it did last sunday will not cut it against Baltimore or even Kansas City. If last year's offense played against this Ravens team, it probably would have been a shootout and a win but the offense is simply not what it has been and they will have to figure it out in order to compete in the playoffs against the league's best teams. Defense can only carry you so far.
Excellent point - but can an NFL championship team still get away with that 16 years later?Lack of taller than 5’10” receiver’s? See 2003.
Wait so we can’t do no huddle with Meyers or Harry? That’s not good.
Not a bad first post. Welcome to the board.First post. But let’s look at facts:
1. Starting C : out for year
2. Starting FB: out for year
3. Starting LT: missed 8/9 weeks
4. HOF TE from last year retired
5. Best WR is a slot receiver
So yeah, offense was going to take a step back, no matter how good TB plays. obviously these factors are greatly impacting TB productivity
3b. Replacement LT was a disaster.First post. But let’s look at facts:
1. Starting C : out for year
2. Starting FB: out for year
3. Starting LT: missed 8/9 weeks
4. HOF TE from last year retired
You do understand that passer rating is an arbitrary formula created so novice fans could have a shortcut to compare statistics they don’t understand very well, right?
I disagree, AB had to go but either way, this has gone beyond a reasonable period into hissy territory. To quote a great man, it is what it is.Except, AB didn't have to go. He's right to be upset.
