Patriots Red Zone Defense

[YardRat]

Opponents score TD's over 70% of the time.

Wow. They suck.

Careful, any comments of less than perfection, NE39 will disagree with.

Brady was throwing crappy again like I saw earlier in the year, and even though they've been winning, that is something some people disagree with in order to keep him as their God or something.

Yeah, Red Zone has been a problem defensively all year. It is strange, because for the most part they have been a good team in all other areas, like on 3rd down.

Mybills, you really have to stop with the Brady stuff. He didn't have his best game, but he didn't play poorly. When you look at the game, the Pats were getting beat physically up front (on both sides of the ball). The wind made throwing tough, but Brady did a pretty good job of managing it. When you consider the conditions, the lack of a run game to rely on and his being victimized by about a half dozen dropped passes, it is hard to criticize him.

The guy is having a historically great season.

Brady was pretty good when it counted.

And he is still either 1A or 1B as far as QBs in the NFL.

Here are some stats on him: 430 att, 302 comp., 70.2% comp. rate, 41 TDs and 5 Ints.

Yes, 5 ints in 12 games. There have been QB to throw that many on ONE game this year. And he is throwing crappy???????

To put that in perspective, the best season in terms of TD-to-Int is +39, which was Peyton Manning's record-setting season (49 TD to 10 Int). Marino was a +31 when he set the TD record.

Brady is at +36. That not only is remarkable, but puts him in striking distance of the record. IMO, that would be more impressive than any other records being talked about.

Boller looked more "poised"..lol

Look, nobody is saying he not having a good year, and if you're not biased, you'll admit he's had a couple of games where his throwing was not "perfect". Cripe! What's the big deal about me saying that, anyway? Why do you care or keep trying to make me say otherwise?

You are right, he is not perfect. He is just have a better year, to date, than any other QB in the history of the game. Not perfect, though.

Lol I was just gonna say that.

I hate brady, I dont dislike him......I hate him. But he is what he is. BY the time this season is done and over with he very likely will have re-written the record books.

41 TD passes through 12 games.....my god.

[mybills]

You are right, he is not perfect.

So what's the problem? Nothing! You nearly took my head off last time I said it, and you got all defensive again.


btw, I don't "have to stop with the Brady stuff." I don't even plan to.
