Brady is a sacred cow on this board, but his limitations at this point are obvious. He can still be surgical, but he needs a lot of time because he can no longer extend plays on his own. Today he didn't get enough time. Vollmer, Solder and Cannon are all talented, so the line should improve. Dobson should help to open things up as well for the underneath stuff that they are so heavily reliant on.
To some on this board, I have a song that might help you out.
But on a more serious note, what a disappointing opening game. There were some bright spots (Brady6 mentioned most of them), but if the Pats play like they played today for the rest of the season, they aren't sniffing the playoffs, let alone the superbowl. I'm not prepared to jump off the Golden gate bridge, but if the Pats end up 0-2 with a similar performance next week, I'll be quite alarmed.
It's not even an accuracy issue. It's a pathetic arm strength issue. You can see it on the out routes as well. He is diminishing rapidly, and a second round pick on a QB was a result of that. Unfortunately, that pick won't help a D that couldn't slow down the Dolphins.

But what about when he did get enough time and still made terrible passes? Brady definitely deserves alot of the blame. Along with damn near everybody else.
I know that many will keep the a mantra of lying everything on the OLine (Not saying they don't deserve it. I'm having a hard time remembering an O-Line so abysmal as this one today)
But Brady was pretty bad. He missed open receivers, made poor decisions. I wouldn't worry too much, except that he is 37 years old and some of those things happened last year.
I'm hoping that I'm reading too much into it, maybe it was a off day, maybe he was so worried about the O-Line. Anyway, there's a LOT to fix in one week

The problem is he can be surgical within 10 yards. Teams know this. They can blitz, play tight and not have to worry about getting beat deep. It's been a problem for years, and it's getting worse.
Our D is still as pathetic as ever and TB is back on the everything gets thrown to Gronk wagon. Not too surprised as we did nothing to get TB another legit receiver. We're 0-1 and well the last time that happened we won the SB so we can look at it that way.
