All good points.   Earlier this week I was scrolling social media and saw a clip of Brady talking about the Super Bowl he won with Tampa.  I stopped and listened.  He said he studied the Chiefs defense closely and by the night before the game he knew Spags' defense and blitz schemes better than the KC players.  He knew where the players were coming from, he knew when they would fake it and drop back into coverage, etc.. Brady said that was his "super power" and before every snap he had the answers to the test and knew exactly where the ball was going.

 

I guess my point is, we are not that advanced here.  I don't think the coaching this season has been anything close to good...and it's not even up to standards from recent seasons (which also was not good enough vs KC in the playoffs).

This is what Allen is missing imo. Not that he will ever be a Manning or Brady presnap. They are generational at that. But knowing all of the coverages.

😂😂Brady threw for like 200 yards in that SB

He would have thrown for more if needed. They basically killed clock the entire second half. Game was over early 3rd quarter.

 

I'm talking in general though. Allen gets elite at presnap reads and the Bills have an elite #1 WR.

Imagine not giving credit to Brady for winning his 7th Super Bowl in dominant fashion because he didn’t rack up a ton of passing yards.

He was fine

 

The story of the game was the Bucs defense and Mahomes gagging a SB as he's wont to do
