Pats grasp defeat from the clutchs of victory.
Maybe the other teams have finally figured out how to beat the Pats offensive system. ( pressure the QB)
Oh man, please, no "pressure the QB" talk. I can't think of a more obvious football gameplan than "pressure the QB"...I'm pretty sure no qb likes to get hit or sacked. It only took until the Giants in 2007, up until then no teams in the first 6 years of Brady's career obviously never had the idea of "pressure the QB"
Brady has to do better with taking the opportunity to scramble for a few yards, not be Vick or RGIII, but the amount of times he hung onto the ball or threw it away when he had the chance to gain some positive yardage on his own was so frustrating to watch yesterday.
Tp, this a thousand times this.
I am so sick and tired of this on any NFL broadcast. You can gaurentee that no matter what one commentator will say the following or a close variation.
"you know, the key to disrupting (insert QB) is to make him feel presure and get hits and sacks on the QB."
Oh gee, you think? you mean what the defense is trying to do on every play and the offensive line is trying to prevent is key to the defensive gameplan?
Defenses enjoy 6-10 yards lost, a possable turnover, and a loss of down?
oh lordy! thank god for you insightful NFL announcer!
This "gameplan" is on par with these other breaking gameplans from other sports.
1: "you know, if you play great defense and rebound, thats the key to a succesful NBA defense."
2: "you know, if you hit alot of homeruns, that probley a pretty good formula for success."
3: "the key to shutting down a great hitter is to get him out"
4: " The key to denying power play goals is not to commit penilties."
ect, ect.
I am so sick and tired of hearing the weakness of QB's is being sacked. I thought it was getting no pressure and just hoping for the best.
