BB should simply tell him to go out there, spread them out and sling it 50, 60, 70 times. Brady's record when he passes that much is amazing (like all his records) but there is more here. Many of those 50+ passing games are vs the very best teams we face all year which makes it clear that is the better strategy and it is clear why.
First off what should be done in these games exactly? Pass except for goal line. Simple as that. At the goal line you can run but that should be the only time. The key is getting the attempts up and those attempts are key. The reason this works so well for Brady is it gasses the push rush. They were not getting to him in the late 3rd/4th and that was only partly offensive line improvement. The bigger part is they just didn't have much left to pass rush with.
We know the only way to stop Brady is a pass rush. When we have passed 50 times a game or more and taken that away from teams and dared them to find another way to beat Brady they have had no answer.
I don't think we should do it all the time as Brady takes a lot of hits doing it this way but in these kind of games we would be well served to get the attempts in early and often. Maybe we get ahead or stay even doing it. Even if we don't as long as we keep it reasonably close and have a D that can help out some I frankly see no answer to it.
