Who has more rushing yards, Brady or Wilson?

I honestly thought Brady had more than that. He's been very opportunistic this season when the second level of the D forgets about him.

I think that up to now opponents have assumed that a 39 year old supposedly-immobile quarterback wouldn't be scrambling for 8 yard first downs every week

We might start seeing defenses respect Brady as a running threat a little more

Wonder if Michael Bennett will be back for the Pats game, pretty sure he doesn't want to miss a primetime gave with his brother on the other sideline.

Peyton Manning in his last three years in Denver didn't have a season with positive rushing yardage (so he kneeled down for more yards than he ran for, and he practically never ran for anything, the one run in the AFCCG for a first down pissed me off). Brady meanwhile somehow is running more than in 2012 or 2013.

Read this and think about it. Petey is not a moron like some NFL coaches but appreciate how balanced BB has been able to keep the Pats squad despite some frustrating to us "obvious" holes in the lineup.

Agreed - the only time I can think of that Belichick ever let a unit get anywhere near this bad is maybe the WRs in 2006 or the secondary in 2011. But the thing is, in both of those cases Belichick actually addressed the issue in a pretty big way not too long thereafter. The Seahawks are... not doing that. Their OL has been this bad for over a year now, and the way they seem to be trying to fix that is by repeatedly drafting super-athletic converts who don't actually know how to block. I think they got it in their head somewhere along the way that they can teach guys to block on the fly, but the results clearly aren't bearing that out. Justin Britt is pretty good, and Germain Ifedi might turn out to be good--hard to say, since he's a rookie and has been injured--but the rest all suck.
