Let’s take a walk down memory lane. It was 2010 and Tom Brady just turned in the following stat line in the second half against the Jets in New York:
7-of-16 (43.8%) for 69 yards and 2 interceptions.
He had Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in that game, and would go on to win the first ever unanimous NFL MVP award.
Now, there’s no question he needs to be better, as do the rest of the offense and coaches. The Jets also deserve some credit. That’s a very good defense, playing at home in a game they really had to have.
There shouldn’t be any rush to judgement that Brady has suddenly lost it, even though that time will certainly come and this has been a sad preview of how quickly fans will turn against him.
It’s been an inconsistent start to the season, but there are two big games coming up and really great chances to not only right the ship, but really put the Pats in a strong position divisionally and in the conference.
Gronk is back. Amendola could be back this week. Let’s let the next two games play out, then we’ll get Vereen back and things should start looking a lot better.
