I think it’s important not to ride the ups and downs of the season and the emotions of ‘We won, we lost, everyone tells you you’re great, everyone tells you you suck.’ If you do you’ll have a hard time. You just try to believe in the process, believe that what you’re doing is the right way to prepare.

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.

Football is a team game and the quarterback can’t do it all himself. The blocking was atrocious in the third quarter on Sunday, creating a situation that would have made life hard for most quarterbacks. The receivers aren’t getting open consistently. The play-calling, from my view, isn’t giving the running game enough of a chance to get going to ease the burden on the up-and-down passing game. This isn’t to spare Brady accountability, because I think he’d be the first to admit he can play better, but I maintain that if he’s the biggest problem for the team than ultimately it will still be in the championship hunt.
