Grading the Patriots vs. Jets: Tom Brady’s struggles stand out | masslive.com

Just a little nudge for those getting too close to the edge on Brady… 😉

Brady showed poor mechanics on a number of his passes, which caused problems with his accuracy and velocity. The most problematic of the lot came on the second-quarter interception. Brady appeared to get no drive off his back leg and slowly progressed through his throwing motion, which ended with his upper body kind of falling over his front leg as he released the ball. As a result, the ball didn’t go where he wanted and it was easily intercepted. There was a somewhat uncomfortable situation to his left with Nate Solder blocking Quinton Coples, though it’s not clear how much that affected the play. … Brady never appeared comfortable during the second half and had trouble finding his marks despite being granted an average of 2.49 seconds to throw. On a fourth quarter pass that was thrown behind Kenbrell Thompkins, Brady was granted more than six seconds to get rid of the ball and was unable to find his mark. … Brady missed another pass on the fake double reverse the Patriots seem to run every week. The play rarely works and you have to wonder why it continues to be called.
