This will be Brady's only gameplay until week 5 of the regular season. The Patriots are playing this like it's a regular season game that Brady's playing in, and did when Jimmy was in as well. We're playing a preseason game. This same thing has happened the last two years when playing the Pats in the 3rd preseason game. Most of this means absolutely nothing. Certain players' play is definitely meaningful but the team's success absolutely is not.

They aren't playing like this is a regular season game....Brady is playing against a base defense with no strategy. If he didn't pick it apart then there would be issues.

Cam....well Cam can't run right now otherwise he would have more rushing than passing yards.

1) Ginn needs to go back to being a one trick pony and stop running routes where the degree of difficulty is anything more than a ball straight into his hands.

 

2) Cam needs to stop trying to get Kelvin involved. He'll earn his targets just like every other receiver, when he's actually open.

 

3) Run the goddamn ball. We are a running team first and foremost. So run it. I don't care if there's 12 in the box, run the goddamn ball.

 

We keep those three things in mind and we'll be fine.

Brady didn't make the Panthers offense look bad. If anything, our defense did okay-ish considering the lack of gameplanning. Any other night and they would've had two interceptions.

Personally, I'm not that concerned about the score. It's the little things, sailing balls high, dropping passes and penalty after penalty that is the problem. I may love this team but execution was poor tonight and Ron needs to let them know the team that preseason or now, there is no excuse for not doing the basic things right.

Not anymore

Later half of the season to the SB, this offense changed. Run game only works if Cam is a threat to keep it. Power runs get stopped immediately, absolutely no holes open

Also, I wonder how much veteran dependability will be missed with our WR's. Cotchery was a dependable veteran receiver for the most part. Ginn is a veteran, but he's not dependable. Everybody else that we have are young

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
