I couldn't possibly have less respect for Brady fans...

[GNG]

Wow GG that is really creative, guess those backward Texas schools are finally catching up with the rest of the nation.

There is nothing backwards about Texas schools and the fact is they are among the best in the nation.

Although highly doubtful, in this day and age that may be true. What about the past 50-60 years? Football was more important than a basic education, so I'll give you that.

I will agree that football is like a religion in the state of Texas but the schools are excellent.

 

[LionsWhyMe]

Yes the OL has a huge role in this but even when he had time he really didn't and he wasn't himself.

Thanks to schools in the older part of the nation.

The announcer said they were on their 14th different lineup on the O-line most in last 22 years or something like that. Denver D was ridiculous and your right I was grateful that Brady kept throwing the ball away instead of back peddaling 10 yards and taking huge losses on sacks. I believe he was knocked down today the most of any QB this year

Brady had a bad game, but it was primarily due to a horrible performance by the Patriots' offensive line.

Brady set an NFL record today, he was sacked four times, but the record was that he was HIT 23 times by the Denver defense.

Brady was 27/56 for 292 yds 1 TD and 2 INT. Considering he was sacked four times and hit 23, that plus the 27 completions account for 54 out of the 56 pass attempts. Basically he was hit or made a completion.

Shit on Brady all you want, but he needed help putting on his shirt after he showered according to WBZ Sports Final, and he still held a post game press conference and took responsibility for not winning the game.

fixed

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Tom Brady should be thanking Carson Palmer today

 

[johnson]

I was shocked he didn't get it done. Usually, you give Brady that many chances and you pay. Could be the end of an era.

 

[redseat]

If I had more time I'd have been here to enjoy this more.

Whoa dude, you're salty as hell aren't you? Hurts huh bro?

Why does it come up on my alerts that you quoted "ME" when clearly this isn't anything I said?

Stopped right there. Excuses. Elite QB's overcome bad O lines. The Patriots couldn't execute their quick pass offense for some reason. Brady was off the entire game throwing multiple horrible interceptions, lots of dirt passes, etc. Under 50% completion. You cannot defend this terrible performance from a logical standpoint.

 

[SJ76]

And this is how you beat Tom Brady or any good QB... Hit him over and over and over until he has it programed in his head that a hit is coming.

Hats off to the Denver defense. That and BB went Mike Martz and forgot about the run game

Jake have you ever seen a QB get hit 20 times in a game before?

I get that. It's ridiculous. But I can't figure out why they weren't able to execute there quick passing offense. Especially when both of Denver's safeties went out. The Patriots should've been eating them alive with quick passes. But nobody could get open. It was a lot more than just the pressure. It looked like their gameplan was too cute, and they didn't do what was successful for them all year long.

Valid points I have to say, I have new found respect for Wade Philips. Genius of Elway and Kubiak bringing him in

You're better than blaming the OL, Sonny.

Brady will be back I'm sure but perhaps with an adjusted O/Line. Brady's in too good a shape to hang 'em up and he always gets the team to the post season. He may never get the elusive 5th ring but he'll sure keep makin' $$$$$$ for the team. When he retires, so does the Dark lord!!!

 

[RobToxin]

Brady's not getting any younger... But MAN that was a dime too Gronk on 4th down that kept it alive... I think the biggest factor was Denver's pass rush, they were UN-BELIEVABLE getting pressure all day long.... Also, has anyone else ever seen a QB in NFL history avoid sacks like Brady throwing the ball away so much ? He's got that down to a fricking science... Without him doing that the Broncos would a had 15 sacks today....

I know a fun recreation on the Hoop is to attack Tom Brady but in all serious that Denver defense would have destroyed any quarterback in any era yesterday. They were freaking relentless!

A relentless pass rush will always be the thorn in the side to this so-called quarterback-driven league.
