What a weird performance from Brady

[upstater1]

He threw into coverage on the second INT, he missed a short one to Edelman during white knuckle time, he was jittery from getting pummeled, I blame Floyd for INT one because he stopped running, but...

Brady was money downfield. Even on the passes that were dropped by Bennett and I forget who. I mean, he was throwing some great passes 20 yards downfield.

But short passes? He had a pretty bad game.

I want Mitchell back. ASAP.

It's almost like he accidentally ate some bacon or regular ice cream.

The offensive line did not have their best game.

Seemed like the Texans had great coverage a lot of the time and took away our bread and butter with the short and intermediate passes for the most part. We needed to take shots deep and it worked.

Brady's second INT was really bad. He struggled but also made a number of great passes.

My two cents: clearly he wanted to trust Floyd but just couldn't tonight. Threw him off his rhythm and that led to the second pick, when he tried to fit through 3 guys to force to Jules, which bit him in the *ss.

With Mitchell back next week, Hogan and Bennett hopefully recovered and good to go, along with Jules, Dola, White, Lewis, I think we see a much better effort. That O-Line had their biggest fits of the season (hello PTSD 16' AFC ship at Denver) but held it together second half. Need to get Marty going in the open field.

It just shows that Brady can do anything. Take away the short stuff and he reinvents the offense going deep and the end result is pretty much the same.
First int was in Floyd. Second was just not seeing a guy. Happens once every dozen games or so with Brady.

I hate to give such a generic answer but it really was a bit of everything.

Good D meets + meh QB play + meh blocking + WRs not making some catches they could have = inconsistent offense.

Pressure from the interior. Everyone knows it throws Brady off. Thankfully a lot of teams can't do it.

Brady in my opinion played great. No effort to establish the run. Houston got a pass rush. Early on when he got protection, players weren't getting open. Houston is one of the best defenses. Only 1 pick was on Brady. He made some great throws under duress. I don't think Brady was put in position to succeed today, personally

Literally lol worthy

Don't be too quick to trade Jimmy G. We have been struggling the first half most of the season even against weak teams like Jets, SF and etc.

In fairness to Brady, he threw 10 passes away.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Atleast he added another record to his resume tonigh

32 postseason appearances, thats a lot of games. 2 full regular season's worth actually.

I thought Brady was terrible tonight.

Offense was out of sync and he was looking for the home run ball too much.

It's all about exploiting match ups and taking what the defense gives you, no need to force things.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

I haven't seen Brady throw that many deep balls since the Randy Moss days, crazy those were the ones he connected on while the picks/near-picks were the shorter passes

Also tied Favre for most postseason interceptions of all time, though that record isn't shocking. 32 starts...

 

[SuperStang83]

I thought he seemed extremely odd on the sidelines as well. In the first half after a drive he was just sitting by himself instead of going over plays and diagrams with Josh which is typically the norm.
