Tom has played cruddy so far
Cue the stupid "Shoulda kept Garapalo" junk all off season
I too hate it when my QB only throws for a measly 489 yards
Well when Nick Foles outplays you.....
Dude, Brady had over 400 yards passing. He played fine. The Pats defense was atrocious. That's why they lost.
over 500.
Team put up 33 points (should have had 4 more from easy field goals). defense just couldnt stop a nose bleed. They punted what? one time?
Blaming Brady for this is so hilarious and just shows how spoiled we are. Tommy puts up 505 and 3 TDs with his #2 target sitting in the locker room against a top 5 defense and people have the audacity to say Brady played badly.
Is it audacity to say what happened?
You're probably the one and only person in the world that thinks Brady played badly.
But I guess everyone else is wrong and you are right, right?
Critical dropped pass that hit his hands. Passes in the dirt all night. Missing open receivers. Held the ball too long for a strip sack.
If he'd had the game the backup QB had then the Pats win.
It's ok not to be a homer apologist sometimes.
This is pure ridiculousness. The pass to a QB has to be 100% on the money because QBs aren't WRs. That pass was too high.
The passes that were in the dirt to receivers with tight coverage were meant to be in the dirt because that's what smart QBs do. You put the ball where only your receiver has a chance to catch it and no one else.
The dude threw a ton of passes and threw for over 500 yards. Yes, even the best of QBs on their best days will miss a couple open receivers. It happens to great QBs every week of the season.
On the strip sack he had almost no time to make a decision. There were no open receicers and a couple of the receivers hadn't finished their routes yet. Just a great play by the Philly defense. That's no one's "fault". Its just a great play.
Your Brady hate is unwarranted given how he played here and your analysis borders on not having a clue of how the game is played. Stopped being so p!ssed the Pats won and using Beady as your whipping boy. This loss isn't on Brady. Its on Belichick, Patricia and just awful excecution of the defense on 3rd and 4th down.
Who played better? Foles or Brady? Who had the better supporting cast?
Brady and Foles played outstanding in their own rights. Brady literally had better stats. I would say that neither outplayed the other. Foles team won but Brady had the better statistical game.
Who had thw better supporting cast? Oh I don't know the Pats were missing their best WR in Edelman, their second best receiver, Cooks went out with a concussion early, their best defensive player, Hightower wasn't playing, for reasons only Belichick knows(perhaps he had the flu), the Pats best DB didn't play. I think a good case can be made that Foles had the better supporting cast.
A bunch of yards doesn't really mean a ton in an uptempo game like this and throwing it up for Gronk to make an absolute miracle catch doesn't exactly mean you made a great play.
At least admit Brady wishes he could have this back, could have a bunch of plays back, and Foles doesn't feel that way even a little bit.
I'll admit Brady isn't in the top 3 reasons they lost.
I'd place several things higher.
In no order
BB
Gostkowski/fg unit
the defense in general (no sacks I think. Only one TO against a back up)
Defensive game plan
Maybe Malcolm Butler, not sure
