    It is, but that wasn't Brady's fault at all. He can't force our WRs to separate deep, that isn't something you just scheme open. The guys have to have to the natural ability to do that in the first place and then they need to execute. And we had 3 brilliant deep passes to open WRs that all went through their hands.

    I'm not talking about deep throws downfield, there are ways to scheme intermediate level throws. I agree, the WR group made that difficult, but it isn't as hard as they made it look.

    Disagree with this. I thought Brady called a perfect game plan. It is hard for an offense to function without a single outside WR playing at even an average level. Brady took the only possible path of feeding the RBs and leaning on Josh's legs. There is only so much you can do when you're forced into that game script, but he maximized it as best he could.

    He stuck with the run a bit too long. Spags run blitzes were a perfect counter. He also didn't dial anything up to challenge the missing safeties and Gay. 

     

    It's almost impossible to win without getting the ball downfield.

    He can’t play that role.  He’s a slot.

    He played mostly outside in college, fwiw. Regardless, he'll see an uptick in targets and I think that's more relevant when considering him a Davis replacement, rather than specifically where he lines up.

  4. He needs to be literally perfect, and that's infuriating. He passed up the Diggs crosser on 2nd and 9 because the TD to Shakir was there. You can't pass that up in that moment, regardless of what Mahomes might do. Tom Brady wouldn't have passed that up. It missed by a fraction of a second due to Jones bullrushing Dawkins into his back.

     

    He played nearly flawlessly, a goddamned superstar in the biggest game of his career. I've never seen another great player forced to be perfect game after game for such a sustained period. It's outrageous that he'd be considered anything other than great.

    Quietly, Sean McDermott is turning in the kind of defensive performance we're used to seeing when the stakes are highest. He also looks noticeably tight. This is familiar territory and very alarming. Right now, no one is noticing because Allen is covering McDermott's butt.

    The Bills D is in a really tough spot due to the injuries. I expect some adjustments, so we'll see.
