The staff clearly saw something on film, perhaps that game against the Saints, that made them think lobbing the ball downfield on multiple occasions was the right play. But if it is not clear by now that this is not Brady's game, then I don't know what more evidence is needed at this point. The man just is not strong at the deep throw. It does not mean he isn't the best in the game. It does not mean he isn't the best to ever play his position. It does not negate 2007. But right now, that just is not his strength. They all looked terrible, even the completion to LaFell.
With all that said, a lesser QB loses that game. The greatest is so great that he covers up his own mistakes, and they were plentiful yesterday. Let's hope there aren't many more like that one, with or without Jules (gosh it hurts to say that). But alas, it was the Giants and they always play us tough. It was a great game.
