The annual Tom Brady stink game
One or two times a year, every year, Brady has a meltdown game. Looks like this one was it. Too bad it didn’t come against an NFC team. Of course, that still doesn’t excuse the lack of a pass rush and the secondary being burned deep again and again.
I’m starting to come around to Felger’s view that we can’t keep blaming the injuries. Sure, losing Rodney was big in the secondary. But in the front seven the only people gone from last year are Ted Johnson and Keith Traylor. So I don’t buy injuries as a complete excuse for the execrable pass rush and the bad run defense.

Couldn’t agree more. Brady stunk. But, he got nailed early and that was that. He was off rhythm all day.
What stunk even worse though, was the patriots secondary. They couldn’t even come close to stopping third and longs all day. The only stops they made, surprisingly, were the ones in the red zone that is somewhat positive. But they didn’t even force a punt in the first half, that’s BRUTAL!!!. Ya, so…. they better have a good draft and a good offseason in free agency. And why do they keep drafting smallish receivers and corners?
