Elephant in the Room -- Tom Brady's Mental block in big games

pherein said:

Maybe not, but its understandable. Considering the performace of the WR's,gronk is out, and ravens defense VS NE's defense that day.

People think that Brees is losing games by interceptions, and that the offense can not play of turf, both completely false, but you would think it if you didnt dig deeper, and just looked at wins and losses.

Truth is we had 2 WR's in the top 10, and Graham was #1 in dropped balls this year in the NFL. That put Brees in 3rd and 7, or 3rd and 12, depending on the bad run play. Which forced him to thread the needle to guys that were actually catching that day, and force interceptions. Looks like Brees was blowing it on paper, but if you watch the game, he was trying to save it, and had to push it.
Im glad he does that.

Saints offence on turf is simple. Look at the points, and you see we should have won, but the defense cant play out of the dome. Thats the problem. When did SF or seahawks ever put up 36 pts in a game,lol.

The thread is that Brady chokes, and that just means that the OP didnt feel like digging deeper. Bradys going to lose playoff games, but calling him a choker is pretty crazy.

Brady has won the SBs with deion branch, bethel johnson, troy brown, etc. there is no reason why he could have performed better with welker, lloyd and Ahern. We were all praisng brady for winning with crummy receivers in the pat, now gronk goes down and peopke have a thousand excuses for why they lost. It's either brady or the coaching that's the problem.

Actually it should give you pause if he agrees with you on any topic.

That was on BB, not Brady. It might serve you to take in the post-game press conferences.

Please HOF GOAT QB should know to call timeout there. He should have been calling it as soon as he slid down. Who gives a crap about some press conference.

Because numbskull BB EXPLAINED in his post-game press conference what he instructed Brady to do in that sequence of plays. Sorry if facts get in the way of your gleeful dumping on Brady.

Oh, so prior to his scramble, BB said if you happen to scramble and get tackeld with 20 seconds left. Try to get your slow ass up and gather everyone together and spike it. NOT BUYING IT. As I said, BRADY should have been calling for a timeout AS HE WAS SLIDING. He should have had his head out of his ass and understood the situation. You're kiliing me. Sh-t even if BB had given him general directions, Brady as the Field General should have understood that the facts at hand necessitated him immediately calling a timeout after that awful scramble.

And stop calling BB a numbskull. I understand you're trying to cover for Brady here, but he deserves more respect than that.

You are one cawky twit. Since you're obviously too lazy to be informed, I'll do you the favor -- straight from BB's post-game press conference:

On what happened on the last drive in the first half and the fact by the time they got back to the line of scrimmage they only had four seconds left:

“Because if we had snapped the ball and run the play I think if we hadn’t scored, we wouldn’t of had time to get another play off. So we wanted to take the three points.”

On if there was any thought of calling in the immediate timeout after Tom Brady slid:

“Well, not really because I thought we could get up there and, whatever, we wanted to try and get up there and clock it and have time to run a play and have the timeout to kick the field goal. So no, not really. I guess if we had known that it would’ve taken as long as it did to get the football finally clocked, but then we didn’t get a great look on the play. Tom actually called timeout at the same time I did, so we just didn’t have it.”



You misread. I was calling YOU a numbskull. You numbskull.

Hell, even i his answer there are clues that Brady shared responsibility. "we didn't get a great look on the play" well Brady did, he was on the f---ing field and should have been aware of the situation.

If BB's own words pertaining SPECIFICALLY to these events don't explain things for you satisfactorily, nothing will. He's the head coach. Your gripe is with BB -- not me, Brady, Bob Kraft or Santa Claus.

Nice try lawyer, but you left out, "but then we didn’t get a great look on the play." Now in light of that omission re-read my post.
