I don't know if it was the plays or what but in terms of not being pressured they made us look pretty bad in the passing game. Running backs and TE's were basically nothing but bad plays, that left us with force feeding Godwin and ME.Buc2 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 9:04 amYou keep harping on this accuracy bs. Yes...he missed a couple of throws. Many, however, were on the receiver. Such as Evans and AJ each missing the hot route. One of the long balls to Godwin missed because Godwin had a hiccup (slight slip) while running the route. Made a huge difference in the ball getting to him. Yes, Brady missed a couple open guys in the end zone which was uncharacteristic. He knew it, too. Overall, his accuracy was just fine.ATrain wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 8:15 am Brady now leads the league in both yards and TD passes with a 67% completion rate. And that's with him having kind of a rough stretch in terms of accuracy. Pretty remarkable, and not just for a 44 year old QB. I hand criticism and praise in equal measures when warranted, so Brady deserves the praise of outplaying all these young talented QBs nearly halfway through the season. He should be getting lots of MVP consideration.
The defense needed this game. You can tell they got their swagger back. After allowing 29pts per game through the first 3 weeks, the defense has quietly reduced that to 14.75 ppg over the past four. This is good timing too because the defense needs that confidence for next week when we smash the cunty Saints.
Brady started 7 for 10 and the rest of the way was 13 for 26. 70% to 50% is a big drop off.
