Patriots Dink and Dunk offense

They have the perfect receivers for the offense they run lately. Edelman is just too quick and precise a route runner to be covered that quickly off the snap. Amendola has been disappointing since joining New England but made some big plays tonight. Gronk is Gronk and Vereen was huge for New England tonight. I can't remember watching a game where Seattle tackled that poorly. They tailored the offense perfectly for an aging QB in Brady. The dink and dunk works with the receivers they have especially because Brady is still accurate, can read a defense effortlessly, and gets the ball out quickly.

Thomas and Sherman didn't tackle very well and Simon was complete trash (almost on Godfrey level) in coverage and tackling. Injuries had something to do with it... What was painful to watch was how well New England's line played against the Seahawks D-line. 1 sack all game and the only guy who got any pressure at all was Bennett. Over 200 of Brady's yards were after the catch, maybe even over 250. Basically, Belichick is a genius. A cheater, but also a genius.

The one sack they got on Brady, was his fault. He was barely even touched the whole game.

 

Seattle D today was no where near last season, no Bryant, Clemons, Lane, Avril, Thomas with a separated shoulder and Sherman night need tommy john surgery.

They have been running the same offense for god knows how long, yet no one can stop them.

 

I think there was a stat of Brady being 1-22 on passes longer than 20 yards, its all short passes to wide open receivers, its frustrating to watch.

 

The last time they were in the Super Bowl they were a big-play offense.  What they actually do is tailor an effective game plan to the defense they're facing, and then they go out and execute it.  Brady is a huge part of that.

It's just smart coaching and personnel decisions. All of their offensive personnel present a match up issue if put in the correct position. When their quick guys are hurt they switch to a ground and pound running game. They have a veteran quarterback that knows the playbook well enough to run different concepts week to week. 

 

They really worked us last year too, we just made enough plays and got a few turnovers. 

 

If you are suggesting the Panthers run the same thing, I can see the merits in that. Who needs a perfect offensive line when the ball is out in under 2 seconds? But the Panthers personnel is currently just mashed together on offense. If you go to the Seattle tape and watch our recievers try to get off the line of scrimmage...even without the press these guys are flat footed in their starting position while Cliff Avril is 3 yards into the backfield.

They never were a big play offense IMO, even when they had Moss alot of Brady passes were dink and dunk, and Moss made Brady look like a good deep ball passer.

Brady averaged 7.1 yards per attempt this year.  In that season he averaged 8.3 yards per attempt.  That's a significant difference.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
