BUFFALOKIE Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 If I'm a QB, I'm not trying to tackle 300 pounds of someone who's job description is "try to kick my ass" either. Then you are a wuss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 This is football, son. Know your role. Brady would have been an idiot to have risked breaking a collarbone, taking a concussion or getting a shoulder torn up just to stick his nose in there to tackle Florence at the 2 yard line. Kelly may have done it at 25, but he had better sense at 35 and so does Marsha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Deion talking about someone else being a wuss and shying away from contact? Now that's saying something! Nobody in the history of the league ever avoided contact more than Sanders. On this he needs to keep his yap shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Kelly was most definitely in his 30s when he chased AJ Johnson of the Falcons down after a pick and ended the guy's career in the process.

Remember that play like it happened yesterday. Kelly broke the guy's leg. Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Except Kelly was most definitely in his 30s when he chased AJ Johnson of the Falcons down after a pick and ended the guy's career in the process. That's a good point, but I don't think it was AJ Johnson, who I don't think played for the Falcons. And aside from being a complete madman, Kelly was probably bigger than Brady(at the very least, relatively speaking). He was probably a bad example as it's not quite fair to hold Brady to the standard of one of the toughest QB's to ever walk the lines. Bottom line; Brady's got to be around 35 and he'd have been a fool to stick his face in that particular fan. Edit: It was Anthony Phillips. Blast from the past from the always awesome and sorely missed Lori. Edited September 26, 2011 by Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly may have done it at 25, but he had better sense at 35 and so does Marsha. With the angle he had, Brady could have even just tried to push Florence out of bounds if he didn't want to take a chance at injuring himself with a big hit. He actually made the effort to slow down in order to not make contact. No, most QB's would not do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall him being older than that and ALWAYS going after the guy who picked him off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the tackle that would most likely have hurt him; it was getting in a car wreck with the Bills DL or 'backer(s) who was likely coming up fast from the backside. And I don't think he was as close to the pylon as that camera angle made it appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Strategically, it was a better long term choice for Brady to let the TD go. Losing one game is not as bad as losing Brady for the season. Emotionally...I think it speaks to a certain lack of...well, balls. Brady is always praised for being smart, but I honestly can't remember anyone talking about his guts like they do with Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am thinking that brady thought he might get hurt tackling him......and that he was worth more to him team just making it up on the next set of downs....which actually might be good thinking I still hate him.....god this win feels good.

Losing one game is not as bad as losing Brady for the season. I'm entertaining the idea that its quite possible that Belichick has told him not to make an effort in such situations. If I was a coach and had a player on my team as important as Brady is, I wouldn't be to keen on letting him play defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 This is football, son. And it would be a good thing if Fitzpatrick wound up on IR for the rest of the season after going 3 and 0? Brady is a smart guy and he made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah, well I don't know. How much else do you want to let Tommy off the hook for? If he brings in a note from his wife will he also be excused from having to throw a block if needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was screaming "somebody kill f'ing Brady" before Florence crossed the 20. Clearly, there's a great deal of logic to this... but Brady still comes off as having the velveteen touch of a dandy fop. The difference between the almost right words and the right words is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.
