Brady led the Pats to a great comeback last night too. He was an efficient machine, taking no time to get down the field AND he set the NFL record for pass attempts without an interception. If anything, I think Brady locked it up last night.
I assume this is a parody post where you mock irrational Patriots fans?Brady was 15-24 for 163 yards. His team almost lost at home to a Matt Flynn-led Packers team that lost to the Lions a week prior. Sure he had two TDs ... one was set up by a fluke kickoff return to the 5. His amazing "game-winning drive," which came at the start of the 4th quarter, featured only three passes, none longer than 16 yards.
He was fine last night. Adequate is probably a good word for it. But an MVP doesn't need a fourth-quarter drive to beat Matt Flynn at home.
Not sure how Brady loses MVP votes based on last night's performance. The offense had the ball for less than 20 minutes and still put up 24 points against one of the best defenses in the NFL.
And Tom Brady had very little to do with that.
NE's first "offensive" scoring drive:
B.Green-Ellis right end to NE 32 for 5 yards (52-C.Matthews, 50-A.Hawk).
T.Brady pass
incomplete short middle to 83-W.Welker (21-C.Woodson).
T.Brady
pass short middle to 87-R.Gronkowski pushed ob at GB 43 for 25 yards (37-S.Shields).
T.Brady
sacked at 50 for -7 yards (90-B.Raji).
T.Brady pass
incomplete deep right to 87-R.Gronkowski (21-C.Woodson).
T.Brady pass deep left to 84-D.Branch pushed ob at GB 33 for 17 yards (37-S.Shields).
B.Green-Ellis right guard for 33 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
He completed two passes on that drive, one short pass which Gronkowski picked up a ton of YAC, and one 17 yard pass.
NE's second "offensive" scoring drive:
Connolly's 71 yard return had more to do with this score than Brady, who passed 3 times, for a whopping 4 yards and the TD to Hernandez, who put a great move on Woodson. -
So what, Hernandez was probably Brady's 5th look on that pass and u give him little or no credit for punching it in. I just watched the Cutler fail to put the ball in the end zone in a similar situation.
NE's third offensive scoring drive:
T.Brady pass deep left to 83-W.Welker pushed ob at GB 38 for 35 yards (26-C.Peprah).
D.Woodhead left end to GB 31 for 7 yards (93-E.Walden).
T.Brady pass short middle to 42-B.Green-Ellis to GB 22 for 9 yards (50-A.Hawk).
B.Green-Ellis up the middle to GB 22 for no gain (90-B.Raji, 79-R.Pickett).
D.Woodhead up the middle to GB 20 for 2 yards (55-D.Bishop).
T.Brady pass
incomplete short middle to 11-J.Edelman.
Yeah, this one went right of the hands of Edelman or it would have likely gone for a 1st down.
S.Graham 38 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-48-M.Katula, Holder-14-Z.Mesko.
Brady completed two of three passes on that drive for 44 yards.
NE's fourth offensive scoring drive:
T.Brady pass short left to 39-D.Woodhead to NE 49 for 12 yards (21-C.Woodson).
D.Woodhead left guard to GB 44 for 7 yards (93-E.Walden).
D.Woodhead left guard to GB 39 for 5 yards (55-D.Bishop). Penalty on GB-52-C.Matthews, Defensive Offside, declined.
T.Brady pass deep middle to 84-D.Branch to GB 23 for 16 yards (38-T.Williams) [21-C.Woodson].
D.Woodhead right tackle to GB 10 for 13 yards (55-D.Bishop, 93-E.Walden).
T.Brady pass short left to 85-A.Hernandez for 10 yards, TOUCHDOWN. -
Umm, THE game winning drive, but u manage to credit shoddy tackling.
Brady played well this drive, but the TD was a result of shoddy tackling, which the commentators noted during the broadcast.
I'm not trying to knock Brady, he is a very good QB, but anyone trying to take last night's game as evidence of how great Brady is either didn't watch it, or are simply blinded by Brady love.
Brady was awful last night, he was for the most part outplayed by a third string QB on the opponent's side.
