NFL Videos: WK 3: Tom Brady highlights
I looked at Brady's highlights, and several plays stick out. Yes, he made a very bad throw to Moss in the end zone that should have been picked. I think he probably trusted that Randy was free when Moss raised his hand up, but neither of them saw the safety.
Think of what a stellar day Brady would have had if Moss had fought harder for the first bomb knocked away at the last second, if Galloway had committed to the ball, if Aiken hadn't given up on the route to the endzone, and finally, on a picture perfect pass to Moss for a TD, Moss was grabbed by the shoulder and interfered with. It was a definite TD if it weren't for that pass interference that went uncalled.
That's 4 plays that should've/could've been TDs, and none of them were Brady's fault.

Moss has been big in the first three games, but that particular incompletion was inexcusable. Perfect strike by Brady, single coverage, all Moss has to do is REACH UP AND GET THE BALL and it's as easy a catch as possible. WTF, this guy has to make catches like that. Moss needs to seriously reconsider this "alligator arms/faking out the DB by waiting til the last possible moment to stick out your hands" stategy.
That throw to Moss was underthrown. It was on Brady, not Moss. That's a pass where, if you miss, you have to miss long, not short.
Come on Deus, if the DB can jump up and get his hand on it, why can't the 6-4 Moss elevate and make the catch? That throw was not underthrown, it was perfectly thrown, and it was perfectly defended - the only person who didn't do their job was Moss, who failed to go and get the ball at a higher point. If Brady throws it any farther, it's out of Moss' reach. It's Moss job to know when he doesn't have enough separation to let a ball fall over his shoulder and into his hands.

I agree completely - its a bad habit that Moss has gotten into...

Not sure if this is the same play you're talking about, but Brady and Moss had a sure TD in the endzone which was knocked away at the last second b/c Moss kept his hands in to his body. This may have been addressed in another thread, but that sh*t is getting seriously annoying.

Yeah the guy is only on pace to finish his career as the most prolific receiver in NFL history or close to it and he should listen to the fans tell him how to play the position?
I'm just quoting Belichick.
In NFL Network's Path To Perfection, Belichick goes up to Moss and says (paraphrase) "Anytime you can go up and get the ball like that, just go up and do it" [in reference to Moss first TD catch against the NYG in Week 17.
