We're on to the Vikings - at Gillette

Doesn't help that more than 50% of the targets that he got were over or underthrows by Brady.

That's football. Adjust and catch the thing. IMO.

Could also mean he wasn't in the right place at the right time.

The ones I am thinking of were definitely not on Allen. I mean there clearly is something else at work as well but those didn't help.

Or, you know, throw the ball to your teammate if you truly are a GOAT of QB play.

Honest question - how many of those throws was Allen clearly open on?

There were some bad throws no question but they guy is about as graceful as a pregnant water buffalo.

Thats lame.

Tom is one of the most accurate QBs in NFL history.

Brady has a helluva lot more street cred as an accurate passer than Allen does being an elite pass-catcher and route-runner.

Will not dig out plays for you but can remember Brady missing him clearly open at least 3 times for big gains last year. Always on the outside.

Point here is not to bash Brady but to stop this narrative of it all being Allens fault. Why he is not used more in the catching game to at least consistently average 2-3 targets a game (~ 20-25 catches a year would be the sweet spot) over the entire season is as much of a mystery as Dorsett only getting the same three concepts to run.

I mean we can go back to @Tony2046 compilation of the first few games last year. There is one bad drop from Allen and the rest are throwaways and that one big miss by Brady in the season opener against KC.



But this has been talked about ad nauseaum. I am not saying he is some kind of great receiving TE but just surprised he is not used as an unexpected option on 1-2 throws a game. I suppose he must be dropping balls in practice to the point where he is not trusted enough.

Folks are in denial (IMO) if they think that Brady's throws have been on target, compared to the past.

Brady was something like 7/8 120 yards 1 TD against pressure last week.

TD to Gronk he had pressure in his face

Hopefully Flowers was just arrested or something.

He was caught in traffic in Leicester getting some edibles.

I guess the question I have for him is that if he gets her in the sack and slides his hand up her dress and feels a girthy banger between her legs, is he still doing it? I would hope not but money’s money.

And wasn't it Ray Donovan's dad who once said When it's dark, a hole's a hole?

 

[Arialgg]

Flowers was absent because his wife was giving birth. He just posted a picture of his new baby girl on Instagram .

I think we'll have to score at least 27 to win.

Could be, especially now that all the Vikes' key players were listed as having had "FULL Practice" today. I was just using 23 as a hypothetical baseline.
