Would agree with the fact that Belichik assistants finding very little success outside New England points to a combo of Brady and the cheating culture being almost impossible to replicate.
How’s this for a conspiracy. Ravens could very well be the 8th place team in the AFC. If the game gets postponed this week and has to be played in week 18, the League goes to 8 playoff teams per conference.
It’s past time for defensive coordinators to stop playing traditional defenses against these old QB’s. Brady’s 1 weakness was always pressure up the middle but now he looks like an over-matched rookie when he can’t step up into the pocket. Blitz more guys up the middle than the Bucs can block. Brees and Rivers can’t throw the ball outside the numbers or more than 20 yards downfield yet defenses still play soft underneath against them. It’s like these defense coordinators are still game planning for these guys like it’s 2010.
Brady’s an old man but I’ll put my money on him over Goff all day at the end of the game. McVay can’t orchestrate these drives at the end of the game. Your QB needs to be able to make plays.
Nothing good happens for Brady when he holds the ball. Not sure what the Rams are doing with their back 7, but they are confusing Brady and when he doesn’t get rid of the ball quick he looks his age.
Agreed. Have too many ‘business-decision’ guys on defense. Hopefully that changes now that we are getting closer to end of season. I know it was the Jets, but that 2nd half defense was beautiful. We were laying the wood. We have to play with those bad intentions on defense the rest of the way.
If we’re ever gonna beat the Chiefs we gotta find an elite pass rush. That was the easiest 2 minute drive to win a game last night that I think I’ve ever seen.
