Pats vs Bills (12.20.09)

[nickagneta]

Brady was a better QB when he was distributing the ball evenly amongst his receivers and not trying to force a ball into the hands of superstar receivers. I think he has, way too often this year, tried to force the ball into Moss' hands to keep him happy and engaged in the game. I think I read something that of Brady's 11 interceptions, 8 have been been while throwing in Moss' direction.

That said...nice throw and catch by that same combo.

Defense is looking better after that horrible first series.

+1

I think having Moss has made Brady much more predictable. Instead of going through his reads, he's more likely to stare down Moss. Having Moss is a double edged sword because Brady seems to trust Moss to make a play even on a poorly thrown ball/throw into double coverage.

Bills will use the quick pass and play-action a lot today, I think ... that saaid, always gotta watch for the long ball ... even Fitz will throw it if there's loose coverage.

[nickagneta]

Is it just me or are the Pats playing a whole lot of 4-3 today on defense. They just don't look to be in a strict 3-4 on many many downs.

[nickagneta]

Hate that "there's still 3-4 tough yards available if I tough it out and put my shoulders down but I'm just going to skip out of bounds now" play Moss just did. So so many players do that now and I hate it.

[Bahku]

They wanna get Moss going today ... I like it, maybe Randy's had his wake-up call. Wow LB saw that one coming!

[Bahku]

Is it too much to ask that BOTH Moss and Welker have a good day at the same time? 

[Bahku]

Wow ... horrible miss-tackle ... thanks for the penalty, we got bailed out.

[Bahku]

Yes ... pick by Wil ... awesome!!

[nickagneta]

Big Vince's absence is quite obvious in the way that Buffalo is running the ball. Mike Wright is just getting blown off the line when Buffalo is running the ball.

[nickagneta]

Maroney showing a bit of outside speed. gotta like that.

[Bahku]

Wow ... talk about an obvious call!

[nickagneta]

Why didn't that ref right in front of that play not throw the flag??

[Bahku]

Tom not happy at all ... one of his pet-peeves, lineman who are late.
