Excuses Why Brady Blew It Today

[Dude]

Sounds like Brady should retire

He should, he has enough wins, rings and chit.

 

[Manster7588]

All very possible reasons, but I think it's because Jay Flannelly couldn't get in touch with him.

I do wonder, does Rock really live in MA, or could he be Jay Flannelly in MI?

Fixed

The simple fact is Brady lead 3 drives in the 4th quarter into scoring range with his team down 8. Against a very good defense and without a running game, Brady played well enough to win against that punch less Broncos offense. He moved the pats offense when he needed to (with a big assist to the Broncos secondary getting injured).

The reason the Pats lost was coaching decisions where they twice didn't take the points when they had a chance at them. In a low scoring defensive affair, that is a huge sin. The first time that they went for it on 4th was mind-boggeling stupidity on the part of Belichick. The 2nd time is a little more understandable....but the first time they passed on 3 with like 6 min left in the game is a worse coaching call than the Seattle run/pass decision that lost them the SB that generated so much discussion. Belichick should be getting absolutely skewered for that decision.

But BB is a genius, he knows what every other coach is thinking. He is not to blame

Ehhh ... that's really reaching. That one may never be surpassed on the Utter Stupidity Scale.

On second thought, I know Rock is not Jay, but what about that MichGrad dude who defended Brady more than Pat fans did?

 

[RegentDenali]

I voted for kicker, league is out to get him, refs, receivers gave up on routes, and rocks secret sauce potato salad.

They were all in on it. Rock must be crushed.

Excuse me... had that extra point been made in the 1st quarter, then it would've only been a point difference instead of a two point try for the tie.

The Pats defense let Denver score how many points after that missed XP? Then, add all of the Pats drives that didn't end with a TD or FG. Plenty of time and opportunities for NE to make up for a missed XP. Its not the kickers fault.

So it was Brady who kicked the Onside Kick right to Shiloh Kep's and never gave the Cheatriots a chance?

 

[boltfan72]

Bellichick deserves way more blame. He had a chance to kick two field goals in the 4th quarter and opted to go for it, failing both times. If he kicks those two field goals then they don't need a TD and 2-pointer to tie at the end. They simply need a FG to win outright.

Bellichick isn't the coaching god he's made out to be.

 

[boltfan72]

If Bill kicks a FG on either of the two late 4th qtr drives that they turned the ball over on downs, the TD pass to Gronk sends the Pats to the SB.

Even the smartest football coaches are idiots a lot of the time.

Yep, should have read the whole thread before posting. Glad somebody else noticed this.

 

[TDs3nOut]

I thought that Brady played pretty well, given that he faced consistent pressure up the middle, off the edges, and mostly tight coverage on his receivers. Frustrating as it was, his ability to circumvent the intentional grounding rule was absolutely masterful. Don't know that there has ever been a QB better at that.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Stop making excuses for Brady, Hammer and please get off his nutsack, it's unbecoming for a grown man

 

[Gatorchip]

I think the #1 reason is that he led his team in rushing yards.

 

[Ewa PGH Fan]

All of the above is the obvious choice....

 

[Cyder]

The reason he sucked was Demarcus Ware. The guy played one of the best games I've ever seen played. He dominated and was in Brady's face the entire time. I've seen Brady have tough days when the interior linemen get to him but the edge pass rushers usually can't get to him before he checks down and dumps it off.

Ole Hoodie also screwed up not going for that first FG on the 4th and 1. His O line was not holding up well and there was plenty of time left. If he goes for that they would have been in position to win the 2nd time they turned it over on downs.

No issue with going for it the 2nd time, there wasn't much time left so he really had no choice after screwing up the first opportunity

Jesus H Christ am I a mess. I meant Vonn Miller. Forgive me, due to the blizzard I worked a 32 hour shift and still haven't quite recovered.

Broncos defense steam rolled the Patriots

The Denver D is #1 for a reason, they showed it. It was a good game but Brady and his offense couldn't get it together until the end of the game, the Pats D did fine imo. Congrats Broncos and fans, good luck in the SB
