CanadianFan Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 https://brickwallblitz.com/2017/09/08/chiefs-defense-was-phenomenal-against-tom-brady-to-start-the-2017-season/ There's a good article about Chiefs' D against Pats. Brady had a 44% completion rate, something I don't ever recall him having. He makes great point about Brady here that I didn't realize: Tom Brady has never been a great deep passer. His accuracy on throws of 16+ last year was 16th. On throws or 20+, he was 18th. He’s a quarterback that has been sensational in the short/intermediate range. So it IS true that Brady has a weak ass arm, still LMAO. Brady is highly noted as a fantastic pre snap quarterback that knows how to read defenses before the snap and understands where to throw the ball. Playing in a great, but complex system that encourages quick throws underneath and in between 10-15 yards has allowed Brady to develop as one of the game’s greatest players. Actually, this makes Brady sound like Peterman. A LOT. OMG. Do we have a Tom Brady? The Chiefs’ defense didn’t allow for that at all. The game plan that sent packages of three-man rushes to Brady was highly scrutinized early on. It made the Patriots’ offensive line look amazing, but in the long run, it worked. It stressed Brady’s weaknesses and suffocated his strengths. With the constant three-man rushes, the Chiefs defense was able to cover the underneath routes in which the Patriots’ offense has consistently thrived on for years. With Brady forced to throw downfield, his accuracy waned. It doesn’t mean that Brady is declining. In fact, against lesser game plans you can expect the same high quality of play he has provided in his future Hall of Fame career. Well you still have to beat Pats D as well. It took a great game plan by Chiefs' D and a great game out of Alex Smith and Hunt to beat them. Won't be easy no. But there's a blue print to do it.
Boatdrinks Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I doubt it. Brady has had his statistical best games vs the Bills D. It's hard to see this unit faring much better unless TB truly is starting to slide. They've had more talented D units in the past. The Chiefs coverage was pretty good, and it may have been different if Berry had been injured earlier.
bisonbrigade Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 The answer is NO. Bills secondary sucks. Expect Patriots to roll Buffalo BOTH times.

The secondary isn't the greatest at the moment. I need to re-watch the game and see what chiefs' secondary was doing. I know the guy said double-coverage underneath. Ours is going to be zone all the time, and Brady usually carves up zones. That's also what he does best, finding space in zones with his short quick accurate throws.
KermitMcDermott Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 No. Brady is still going to carve them up. NE lost a game. They will bounce back.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 How have you determined this already? ....Kraft is his uncle......didn't you know???.................
Captain Murica Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Not sure if this defense can do that. But, we had our best game against Tom in recent memory during Rex's first year here on that Monday night game in foxboro. Problem was our offense couldn't move the ball.
KOKBILLS Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 The answer is NO. Bills secondary sucks. Well...Maybe it does...But I don't see how anyone could possibly know seeing as though every player is new back there... You have a crystal ball or something?
Doc Brown Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I have a feeling when we play the Pats this season we're going to realize how foolish it was to judge Brady based off one game.
Paul Costa Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Yes I think they can but I think Bills will rush 4 and put a lot more pressure on Brady then Chiefs did. That game is a long ways away and a lot can happen between now and then. Chiefs got 2 4th quarter sacks rushing 4. Pats are overrated at a couple of positions. Offensive line being one of them. Tom Brady looked good but not great. Any pressure and he just spikes the ball. Seems like he's afraid to get hit.
3rdand12 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I have a feeling when we play the Pats this season we're going to realize how foolish it was to judge Brady based off one game. i think everyone learned that lesson years ago.

Love Bills are going back to a 4 man rush. and we have the players to get it done " don't touch me with your cooties! HEY Ref HEY REF!! he touched me!! wheres the damn sanitizer on this field anyways? " " i am going to tell My Daddy and you will be in big trouble" LONG LONG time before we play NE! yep, we better rest up
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 i think everyone learned that lesson years ago. .......Brady goes down in 2008 and we're licking our chops as Cassel starts, going 11-5...astonishing that it wasn't good enough for the playoffs and equally astonishing Bflo didn't make the playoffs either (COUGH)...BUT we were the only stain on Jacoby's perfect substitute record....major kudos.....BUT you keep fighting the fight......playing for second best means jack....
GETTOTHE50 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 their oline will hold all game. we will see meatball blow by the center/guard 3-4x and be literally tackled to the ground with no call.
