The All-22: Why can’t Tom Brady beat the blitz?
Not really. Didn't offer any useful insights.
It wasn’t Brady. It was Brady plus 45 other guys and 10 coaches. They all looked stoic, mechanical, disinterested, like they were sick of football or didn’t want to play against Ryan and Lewis and Butler. Very odd game.
Agree 100%......we always hear, team sport, the whole team was simply off. It’s a long season and every team has a game or two when they just don’t bring it. Sometimes, even when a team is off, some things go their way and they win in spite of being off, Sunday was not one of those days.
As for Brady, I think he’s fine. Maybe a visit from Tom House during the break will fine tune things and get some guys back rested and healed up.
One aspect that hasn’t been mentioned much is Mr Josh McDaniels, to me he seems to have a couple of horrible games. Where were the 1/2 time adjustments Sunday? Where is his innovative play calling? You actually risked putting Brady out in the flat needing 7 yards? Seriously??
All of that being said, a little hot streak down the stretche, capture the #2 seed. Win the divisional, then take care of Rivers, again, and I’ll see y’all in Atlanta!!
I have been thinking the same thing about McDaniels. Sometimes he looks great; some games he makes great adjustments. Then there are days like Sunday, or the Lions game, where he seems pedestrian and lost. I think most of the OCs in the league could have done a better job Sunday than he did. I don't know how much of that was Brady locking on to Edelman/Gordon when they weren't open. But at a minimum, we seemed to abandon the run game really early, and it cost us dearly in the form of pressure and sacks that might not have happened had we stuck with the run.
I found it useful in the sense that it’s showing us a big difference in the Brady of now, versus the Brady of old. He has chewed up blitzes fairly consistently over the years. That much, we know. At any rate, we’ll need a better sample size to see if he’s declining, and to what extent that is.Usefulness is all relative. If you don’t like it don’t respond.

I think he may just be seeking Gordon out too often. They probably work on different stuff throughout the week, and it seems as though Brady is locked in on him and missing other open reads. If that’s the case, he should be able to correct it fairly quickly.

The All-22: Why can’t Tom Brady beat the blitz?
Aggravating to see some of those blitzes that killed us
The Green Bay game they did a basic 4 man rush using 3 DL and a Lb against SIX pats offensive lineman.. the blitzing LB went thru untouched.
6 v 4 in favor of the offense and a LB hammers your quarterback UNTOUCHED!
Incredible, it’s no wonder why Brady gets anxious back there
