Tom Brady angers me when I watch him play, I really dont think he's as great as everyone says. Like 80% of his throws are screens/dumpoffs/2-3 yard routes and he goes deep only when there is broken coverage. I really do think he benefits from the system they run in NE. He is a top 5-6 qb but I think he's overrated

It's smart football not to throw deep unless you have to or it's broken coverage. Either that or a free play due to offsides. It's part of the reason Brady has so few INTs year after year.

 

Brady does have the luxury of a great/the best pass blocking line every season, and frequently gets all day to throw. When that happens, his receivers eventually come wide open and he'll make the throw. Whether or not these receivers he has now can catch the pass is a different story.

Yay! Patriots get ball first! Now they can't score 14 unanswered points at halftime!

tom's a great player, but i doubt he could go to another team & replicate what he does in new england. cough..peyton... cough... manning... ahem

[Qwiz]

Just tuned in to a Brady rushing attempt. This game is gonna be interesting!

[buffalo34]

Good god Saints....HOW DO YOU LET BRADY BREAK OFF A 10 YARD RUN

 

He friggin runs like me when I get the mail barefoot in the snow for crying out loud.

[Poster X]

Potentially a decent game. Green Bay vs. Baltimore was as ugly as they get until the end.

I bet you are fun at parties so long as New England isn't playing during them, hehehe.

lol, if it means anything, I don't drink at parties, I'm always the sober one.

 

Comeon Saints, can't afford those 3+outs...

You and me both... I'm straight edge.

Pats defense is better than it gets credit for. Either that or my boys are being a little too predictable today.

 

 

Meanwhile our defense is being exposed big time.

[buffalo34]

I've never gotten the hang of alcohol, I just find it way too nasty...

 

And how do you allow a 3rd and 18 conversion? Seriously, you know they're going to pass for crying out loud...

Ask our 2011-2012 defenses that same question. It runs in the family.

[Moose Of Woe]

NE is really taking it to them. I gotta say this is unexpected.

 

It's possible that the Bengals game was just Brady's annual stinker game. All QB's have at least one a year, even the best ones. Also the Pats' D is looking mighty good holding down Brees and co.

[Synthetic]

Don't see how anyone is surprised. New England always plays best at home. The Saints on the road, not so much.

[Synthetic]

Offense ran into a brick wall.

 

All week long we've heard nothing but how overrated New England is, Brady is regressing, the defense is garbage.

 

I knew this would be a tough game. Coming off a road loss, they are surely schooling us today.

If Jimmy Graham doesn't get involved in this game... Saints are gonna' need to find a new Jimmy to stand up. Defense would help too.

[Gavin]

every QB has a bad game none are immune to it, The good QB's just dont make a habit of it.....Jax is making a game of it IN DENVER 14-12 Denver with 36 seconds till halftime.....Im tellin ya Henne is not likely the long term answer for Jax, But if Jax wants to be competitive then they need to go with him instead of Crappert at least till the end of the season

A team has finally decided to cover him and play aggressive with him.

[SteelCityColt]

Are they playing gunner coverage on him?

[Qwiz]

And I thought the Patriots were going to have trouble...so much for that.

I know if New England is going to be like Olivia Newton-John, and be physical... Saints need to return the favor. They have other weapons too.

[Synthetic]

They're double teaming him, that's for sure.

[buffalo34]

Psst.....hey Brees....I think there's a WR on your team named Colston....I got both of you on fantasy....try to connect with him a few times....

[buffalo34]

Good god Brees, quit chucking it up into double and triple coverage....

[Gavin]

And I thought the Patriots were going to have trouble...so much for that.

My boy Joe Vellano (I really wanted him at DE in our multiple look defense) is having a good couple games since he has been starting and able to get into the flow of the game, Like that kid

[Moose Of Woe]

Brees keeps airing it out in to coverage.

[Synthetic]

Psst.....hey Brees....I think there's a WR on your team named Colston....I got both of you on fantasy....try to connect with him a few times....

 

 

and Colston is one big game away from breaking Eric Martin's long held receiving yards record.

 

Brees keys way too much on Graham.

Never heard of him before today. I'm definitely impressed with the Patriots defense as a whole as well, they do look improved this year.

[Poster X]

Do the Saints even have a true run game, or is it going to be almost all passes? Stretch the field Drew Brees.

[Synthetic]

NOW they decide to run the ball? Jesus...We're never going to get 100+ yards rushing until the end of the season looks like.

[buffalo34]

ROFL

 

How is that flag on the Saints?

What the....

 

Absolute utter horse crap....

 

[Synthetic]

I could be watching Treasure of Sierra Madre right now. If they end up blowing this game, I'm going to be very disappointed I didn't watch the movie instead.

Played at Maryland, went undrafted cause concerns about his height (6'1" 300lbs). Has a relentless motor, started at Atlanta had 3 tackles and 1 sack (only started 1 game this season), Has 2 tackles so far today vs Saints

Maryland...no wonder I never heard of him.  Maybe this could turn out to be another good Belichick pick-up though.

I think he has potential as a 3-4 DE

[Coltsince4]

Come on Patriots!!! Eat the Aint's heart out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
