Bedard does good job reading the tea leaves

Ah, no.

Their OL is ranked 4th overall. 2019 OFFENSIVE LINES | Football Outsiders

25th passing yes, but Bradys forte is getting the ball off quick if guys are open. People really do not appreciate how much Brady makes the NE look like studs. And Joe Mixon or Sonny Corleone? I know who I would want as my RB.

This is what happened when they played against a real D.

Should the Vikings make a change on the O-line?

It’s an interesting article, actually.

Brady looks bored sometimes, like this is preseason and the real games come later.

That's actually a pretty damn good point.

Not sure he is board but after 20 years, same team. Same coach. 6x SBs...as we understand it it's grind.

I'm sure the monotony of it all gets to him. Kinda like complaining about a job you've been at for 10 years.

Tom is probably just pissed about Harry to IR, AB acquired and released and Thomas released. Tough circumstances that were connected with each other.

Again, things will get better. Our receiving core is solid and will get better as the season goes on.

Harry K is the great hope for 2019.

Every season there is somebody. I am not putting any stock in Harry K because I have been down this road too many time already.

Ironic how the 6 rings on his fingers were won with...

Branch - never 1k yrds
Brown - one 1k yds
Patton- #2 #3 option never 1k
DA- never 700k yds
JE- two 1k seasons
LaFell- never 1k year
Givens- never 1k

Not blaming him but ironically he didn’t win when he had one of the goat WRs.

Depends how you view the job of QB in the NFL.

I view QB as manager. As manager, I am ok if he disagrees with the CEO. He should air those grievances behind closed doors with the CEO. Then, when the CEO explains that they allocated ressources elsewhere for the good of the company, the manager returns to work and helps the business proper.

This team is built to win with defense. Brady is smart enough to recognize that. He should do his best with the weapons at his disposal (cupboard NOT bare, how many QBs in the League work with much less ?) and win based on the ridiculous talent on D.

This is kind of my point don't let a media spin for clicks make you believe that the above would not be the more logical way he'd behave if he has a problem. Just because a media heard a rumour, quote, or interpret body language and writes an article doesn't have to mean TB is going rogue or acting any different than previous 20 years. Most likely all it means is the media found something they can milk.

I missed it.

Did Brady offer to cut his salary by $10M so that the money can be used for a WR?

Please provide the reference.

Brady is not laughing.

He is willing to take less money to put good players around him.

Not "core," corps. Receiving CORPS.

If you look at Randy's 2007 2nd 1/2 of the year it was very average. Defenses took him out of it.

QB12 and Bedard might be right. I could see a Sanders trade at the deadline.

I too see Sanders as the most viable trade candidate. Not just from a talent and experience standpoint but because of the cap situation going forward.

Cousins has been a bust.

The Vikings tried to protect him through the first 3 game by running that ball for 581 yards. With Diggs disgruntled they tried to pass more vs Chicago. Diggs wants out because Cousins is dragging him down with him.

Question - If youre the Bears defense do you game plan to stop the Viking 581 yards running attack or passing attack?

Answer - Running game and force Cousins to beat you.

“They go play-action pass,” Orlovsky said. “Right when Kirk gets to the top of his drop, Stefon is sitting in a soft spot of a zone down the field. The closest guy to Stefon is 6, 7 yards away. Stefon curls up and [faces] Kirk, and Kirk just won’t throw it to him. He’s looking at him, the pocket is plenty good and he just will not throw him the football.”

What's wrong with Kirk Cousins? Vikings had better find out fast

Brady would destroy the NFC with Mixon, Diggs and Theilen and make their TE a household name.

Cousins threw for 4300 yds and 30/10 last year. He's not an elite QB but bust is not accurate.

New OC this year has him messed up big time.

With that said they should have hired an OC with the same offensive philosophy.

MIXON DOES NOT PLAY FOR MINNESOTA!

Hes washed up.

Gordon is already biding his days. Dont need another Grady.

I means Cooks.

He was a streaky player in DC too which is why the Redskins let him go.

The part of young WRs is spot on.

The part about AB is spot on too.

NFL Notebook: Tom Brady's views on young WRs fits with his late-career Brady-centric arc, will it factor into his end with NE? | Boston Sports Journal

Bedard is mixing up apples and oranges here and it's irritating.

AB was one guy, who was a proven NFL commodity on game day.

He's wasn't the crowd of 100 other cast-offs and scrubs the Patriots have drafted or brought in on the cheap at WR over the years. Brady can't individually wipe all their butts AND do his job, it just not logistically possible.

I'm sure Brady sunk extra time into Moss, Welker, Gronk and Edelman over the years too, because they could actually play. Right now Harry is just another Aaron Dobson until he gives us a reason to think otherwise.

RIpats88 · Oct 6, 2019

Brady is just frustrated with the poor offensive performance.

Watch his mood change when they blow out the Redskins and he goes for 2 or 3 tds.
