I love the one where he's in an orange tanktop with the high beams on. Oh. N/m that was that Charlie's Angel.

Typing for myself here, when someone is making every third or fourth post on a thread and responding with walls of text each time, I start skipping ahead. If you want your thoughts and ideas to be given consideration, brevity is your friend. Take a moment to edit so you are not repeating yourself. If someone writes stuff like "Everything I suggested before the game yesterday came try", I have a harder time appreciating their brilliance and foresight and the fact that they know more than everyone else when I'm busy trying to figure out what exactly they mean to say.
Should have brung in another body at wr. This wr corps is basically on life support with the edelman knee issue.
Is it? Brady looked better with Edelman in reduced snaps this week, minus a few horrible throws for TDs.
Did you his first throw of the game to a wide open Sanu? lol
I mean, come on, dude. Brady doesn't have binkies to his liking, so he's "pouted" all year to during games to voice his displeasure.
Dude, you joined a week ago and already making friends.I really don't care.
It's not that I think I know more than "everyone else", it's that insecure people attack to over-compensate, so I feel a need to point out what really was said or happened.
And, to be fair, being critical of Brady's crap play at times, while unpopular, is legit.
This is a message board. People will figure out who has a clue and who doesn't, regardless of rate or posting or substance. I think I have plenty of substance.

Wow, here a week and already making friends.

And this guy claims I am wrong more than being right?
He's clearly a Brady Apologist, so he cannot be taken seriously here.
Oh, you’re an Orthopedist. Thanks for enlightening us.I’m so happy for all of the Brady apologists to have another excuse for his mediocre play this year. You are truly blessed.
Can any of you take time away from the wagon circling, to show me the objective evidence that an elbow injury (tendinitis seems most likely, but could be a bone bruise) makes a quarterback globally less accurate (short hops, wide right, wide left and too high, all of which we have see from him this year? If you use a baseball picture as an analogy, velocity should be the most noticeable deficit, if any. His elbow injury should have no effect on his ability to pass to open receivers or to stand in the pocket and step into his throws in the face of pressure. He’s the GOAT but he is also part of the problem on offense this year.

One thing to think about...
Last year people were all “Brady’s not declining, it’s just that knee injury.”
Now this year it’s “Brady’s not declining, it’s just that elbow injury.”
Having lingering, significantly performance-affecting injuries may well *be* how decline/cliff/whatever you want to call it manifests itself.
Certainly with age it becomes easier to get injured and slower to heal. Also, being older means a given severity of injury may well have stronger effects on performance than the same severity of injury would have when the player was younger
It's hard to have confidence in receivers that don't know where they're going or can't execute because of injury while working behind a hobbled OL.You make a good point about the injuries, though I think people were nuts to think he was declining in 2018. He was only down about 5-6 points in passer rating from his previous MVP year (using passer rating as general gauge, as that is also how it seemed, one notch below) but that’s with Gronkowski badly hobbled and Cooks gone (Edelman returned, but Amendola left and Hogan declined, so that part was more of a wash.). He looked just as sharp as always.
2019 is a totally different story than ever before in his career. Beyond the accuracy issues, he just doesn’t look confident, which I never remember from Brady besides in certain games. This has been going on for months.

I think it’s a very good question. They need to beat the Bills which locks up the division and the Bills are a bit tougher. In Week 17, assuming KC beats Chicago next week, NE needs to beat Miami to get the 2 seed and a bye week. The question becomes - do you keep wearing out Brady to give him a week off the next week, or do you just give him Week 17 off and try to win with your top-shelf defense and a game plan built around Stidham? Best case scenario is you still beat the Dolphins and everybody gets the bye week and a home game, worst case scenario is no bye and they have to play in the wild card round (at home) but Brady still got a week off, but then you have to play the next 1-2 rounds away.
I think the most importance will be placed on winning out to secure the bye week for the whole team (and there are a lot of nagging injuries so they could use it), but there’s some credence to the thought of giving Brady rest, I think. I wonder if they think they can beat Miami at home with Stidham.
Do you by chance happen to know anyone name of Chris Stevenson?
