Pats were given an extra timeout too
I've been trying to figure out for years why the Patriots are good or why Bellichek is a good coach and I still can't figure out what sets them a part. I even tried to read some insider book on the Patriots thinking I would figure something out, and all it was was bellichek bitching and complaining. But any coach can say, "Try harder, do better, you guys stink, only 10 first downs, you got to do better in the red zone, we got to be more efficient on 3rd down"... that's all I got from the book.Maybe this is a plausible explaination put forth on this thread. Maybe they are good because they cheat. Certainly possible, they've been busted for cheating before
Franchise QB is the most important in sports, now even more so with so many rules leaning towards the offense, and they've got that. Of course, most years they've put good play-makers/O-linemen around him, but the guy's been doing it a while.
Whatever,The Saints had a lucky half ass throw to take the lead, so it serves them right that a lucky half ass throw makes them lose the game.That last TD pass pretty much sums up the career of Tom Brady. A mediocre throw thrown too short that was caught by a WR that had to do 90% of the work, and was made a hell of a lot easier by an idiot DB that had no concept of positioning. Why is Greer even watching the ball? He has safety help to the inside. All he has to do is play the man, and it's an easy break up for even a mediocre CB. A decent CB gets an INT off that throw every time.And yet I've heard at least 3 major pundits say only Tom Brady could throw the ball in a perfect spot like that. There are two major rules the NFL tells its media if it wants to stay in the good graces of the league; never say the refs had anything to do with the outcome, and always give the QB credit a when a team wins and blame when a team loses. Unless the losing QB is Tom Brady, then look for key drops by WRs to blame for the loss.

Simple, you tell him the Playoffs have started and he chokes games away like always not clutch at all.

the patriots go through offensive coordinators like toilet paper and tom brady is def a top 10 QB...probably 6 or 7 if you ask me.with that said before the patriots changed their system in '07 when they got Moss and Welker, the Patriots were a low risk team that ran the ball a lot. They won 3 titles that way. Then Brady tried to turn into Peyton Manning and hasn't won a ring since but had 2 MVP seasons, one pretty historic. The irony there is delicious

Tom Brady has only had 3 OCs and each successor was the understudy before taking over. Also, each of the three have experienced great offensive success with much lesser QBs after leaving Brady. Wies made studs out of Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen in college, and brought a broken Matt Cassel back to the probowl. McDaniels took Cassel to the probowl, and for a while almost made Kyle Orton look like a probowler, and Kyle Orton is a complete scrub of a QB. And Bill O'Brien is just getting started at Penn St, already getting offers to return to the NFL as HC by the end of last season.We've seen the NE Offensive system succeed without Brady. I want to see Brady succeed outside of the system. I don't think he can.

I don't think he can.The problem and hypocrisy with statements like that is we won't ever see if theyre true or not, so you can sit safely and say things without ever having to be called on them. I know you think Brady is overrated and that's fine, but the problem is you think and can argue he's overrated because of something you'll never be able to be proven wrong on and you know that
