Lmao, you never tire of looking looking foolish.

And you never tire of whistling past the graveyard apparently

Until he appears on an injury report or we hear something official this is by definition speculation. And at this point this is nothing but a headline-clicky rumors started by Giardi based on a couple of plays he saw and his gut feeling of why the offense is struggling.

The way that people tend to turn completely speculative pieces into gospel over time is pretty annoying.

Except when you do it to support your theories, of course.

Two Lombardi’s and three Super Bowl appearances in the past four years, that’s quite the graveyard. And you doubted them every step of the way. Good luck to your JETES this weekend.

well technically they aren't mutually exclusive

Technically vs practically

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Well, if he’s not injured it means he’s in decline

Could be true. He may not be confident in the players around him.

He may be injured however a tweet about him not completing his warmup lap does not constitute sufficient evidence even if several people take the time to quote it.

There are so many other possibilities. It's hilarious you think that it's just an either or situation

Name just one of the other possibilities if you would be so kind.

We’ve seen Brady’s mechanics much better in the past and he’s played better with less talent around him.

If you need me to name them, that speaks volumes about you and your inability to think for yourself.

He might have felt like not running the whole way yesterday. He's human, afterall, and has free will. I mean, he also chose not to have his normal time with the receivers in California and skipped a bunch of "team stuff" during the off-season.

You quoted the wrong person. Pretty sure you meant to quote @SammyBlueCat

Any word on Patterson?

 

[italian pat patriot]

Any word on Patterson?

i read that 'he's good'

so let's hope and believe his knee is still in good condition

 

[RobertWeathers]

Any word on Patterson?

Cordarrelle Patterson says he’s good after injury scare vs. Bills

From what I've read he has a bruised knee cap (which hurts like hell). He was on the sidelines at the end of the game but walking with a limp in the locker room afterwards. He was watching the Iggles/HOU game with the team.

My Take: He might miss next week but seems like its not serious.

No, it was directed at you. My point is what else could it possibly be? Brady is not himself. Odds are it’s injury or decline. His offensive line is playing great, he’s played better with less talent around him, etc. The only other thing is to point fingers at coaching.

Shelton will be key going forward. I hope he continues to bring that intensity & passion the rest of the way.

Please give me those examples where I do that. I dare you. Seriously.

If Shelton can up his game (and thats a GIGANTIC IF) and we can even just become average against the run it would be a gamechanger. Personally I don't think it will happen consistently. But if he can contribute situationally that might be already enough to give the offense enough leeway to win some games if they get their **** together.

I watched him on a few plays and he seemed to do OK. Didn't seem to get blown off the ball like other games.

With that said I don't think BUF o-line is that good.

The problem with you directing that one at me is that I mentioned nothing confidence in the players around him or the level of talent in the players around him. So you addressing that to me makes no sense.

We'll agree to disagree about how the O-line is playing. While it's doing well in the run game, it's not doing so well in the pass-blocking.

Your attempts to figure out what is wrong with Brady while ignoring so many possibilities is a lesson in futility for everyone..
