Tom Brady completed 24-of-37 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Raiders.
The Patriots were held in check for most of the game by Oakland's pass defense, and Brady didn't have any deep completions. His touchdown came on a six-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski. Brady should of had a second touchdown, but both Gronkowski and Danny Amendola dropped wide-open passes in the end-zone. Brady has struggled in his first three games, and his lack of downfield accuracy is becoming a concern. Brady will be just a low-end option against the Chiefs on Monday night in Week 4.

Neither of those were anything close to "wide-open" passes. The Gronk pass was tipped and Amendola had to stretch out. Should they have been caught? probably.Rotoworld:

Amendola's was off his finger-tips. Not even catchable. As mentioned, Gronk's was catchable but tipped thanks to a poor throw. at that blurb.

Tom Brady completed 14-of-23 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Patriots' Week 4 blowout loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Brady was yanked from the game early in the fourth quarter in favor of Jimmy Garappolo after tossing a pick-six to Husain Abdullah. The Chiefs were up 41-7 and completely embarrassed the Patriots. In addition to his two interceptions, Brady also lost a fumble inside his own 20-yard line on a strip-sack by Tamba Hali. As much as the Chiefs embarrassed the Patriots, New England's roster on the offensive side of the ball is even more embarrassing. Brady has nobody to throw to besides a slot receiver in Julian Edelman and a less-than-100-percent Rob Gronkowski. New England has been painfully bad at developing receivers, and 37-year-old Brady is on pace for the worst statistical season of his career. He's back-end QB2.

I'll assume that Gronk is 100%. Otherwise, I'd love to hear a good reason why he was still in a 41-7 game with 7 minutes remaining.Rotoworld:

He was sat when they were down 7-41 with 10 mins left. Jimmy looked good against the prevent defense.What's news here is that Tom Brady was benched. I don't think that's ever happened. Pretty significant development if you ask me.
If the bad play continues don't be surprised to see it happen again. Jimmy G looked pretty good tonight.
I didn't think it was that big a deal until I heard Steve Young go off about it in the postgame.He was sat when they were down 7-41 with 10 mins left.

Is it a big deal? Why would Brady still be playing at that point, they played awful on both sides of the ball all game - it was over 5 mins into the 3rd quarter.I didn't think it was that big a deal until I heard Steve Young go off about it in the postgame.He was sat when they were down 7-41 with 10 mins left.

Agree. Young basically said it was either Brady wanted to come out following a pick-6 which isn't good, or he was forcibly benched which isn't good either.I didn't think it was that big a deal until I heard Steve Young go off about it in the postgame.He was sat when they were down 7-41 with 10 mins left.

Happend vs Saints a few years ago. Pats rarely in this position so it doesn't happen often but it's happened.What's news here is that Tom Brady was benched. I don't think that's ever happened. Pretty significant development if you ask me.

He was benched. Came out during the postgame presser.Agree.

LOL no way you can drop in a start 2QB. You could still get a significant asset in that format.I am so tempted.to drop him... in my start 2qb league even...

THey did the same thing about 5-6 years ago against the Saints on a MNF.I didn't think it was that big a deal until I heard Steve Young go off about it in the postgame.He was sat when they were down 7-41 with 10 mins left.

probably because he is awful. maybe if Brady didn't have such man love for him it would be a step in the right direction for the offense.Edelman looked awful this game aswell.
He is not Welker and only the ego of Bellicheat would lead him to believe Welker is interchangeable with any other small pale WR. He is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.probably because he is awful. maybe if Brady didn't have such man love for him it would be a step in the right direction for the offense.Edelman looked awful this game aswell.
Edelman is about 90% of what Welker is now. Maybe only 50-60% of what Welker was at his peak, but that Welker doesn't exist anymore.He is not Welker and only the ego of Bellicheat would lead him to believe Welker is interchangeable with any other small pale WR.

Following Monday night's loss at Kansas City, coach Bill Belichick scoffed when asked if he'd "evaluate" the quarterback position this week.
Belichick chuckled at the notion, the reaction most people have when asked about benching a legend like Tom Brady in favor of a rookie like Jimmy Garoppolo. It's obviously not going to happen, but the fact that it even has to be asked speaks volumes. Brady has been bad since the beginning of last season, lacking zip on his intermediate throws and showing no accuracy on deep balls. It would be extremely rare for a player to reverse his career arc at age 37.
