I thought the same thing. If he was trying to defend himself (like the commenters say he was) he was being rather stupid about it. More likely would injure himself with his leg fully extended like that. Plus why would you raise your leg up? Opens a pretty good shot to the boys by doing that.

Defend himself from what though? Clearly Reed was going right over him. If Brady doesn't kick his leg like that the two men never touch each other.

That was dirty and if he doesn't get fined it will be an absolute joke.

I can guarantee you he will not get fined..

haha I wasn't questioning you. I was just saying that argument is weak. Brady initiated all the contact.

Sorry if it seemed like I was being hostile towards you lol.

haha I thought maybe you were going for that but just wanted to reiterate either way.

This whole kick thing will probably be squashed and not covered.

It was a replay of Suh's kick but the NFL won't touch Teflon Tom.

There is no doubt this was intentional and he should be fined, but he won't. It's funny that ESPN hasn't even uttered a word about this(at least I haven't heard them mention it), but it was a huge story and replayed constantly when Suh done his kick to Schaub.

I think he was trying to protect himself, but that's silly because you would probably want the defender to hit you in that scenario to get the flag. Either way, it was either cheap or cowardly.

That's what the commentators said, which I don't buy. If you're wanting to shield yourself, you don't fully extend your leg. More chance of knee getting hyper extension or his cleats getting snagged.

It looked like he wanted to scissor with the defender.. (if you don't know what that means YouTube south park scissoring)

Oh my. 

 

I saw it when it happened and immediately thought it should get a flag and then realized there was no chance that was happening. He actually double-kicks. I can't decide if that hurts his self-defense case or helps.

    • Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems. 
    • Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin    
    • I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
