| MTZehvor said: Ah well. Probably weren't winning this year anyway, so this might be a blessing in disguise. Part of it is just horrific injury/player luck, but this team just doesn't have enough talent on offense currently. Receivers can't get separation, O-Line can't block, RBs can't break tackles, and Brady's at the point where he can't consistently carry the team through that anymore. We gotta make a FA splash this offseason or something. |
Don't lump in Brady with your woeful team. No one in history could lift this offense. Someone here may have been telling your that for most of the season, but you were busy burying your head in the sand.
When Brady was last MVP, he was throwing to a healthy Gronk, Brandin Cooks, Amendola, a bit of Hogan, and pass-catching RBs like Dion Lewis; along with having a stable o-line. None of those guys were retained on this roster, and the talent/reliability hasn't been close to replaced.
It's only too poetic that it ends with Edelman-- his supposed no.1 receiver --dropping a lollipop on 2nd down, during the most important drive of the game, and then letting a punt roll to the 1yd on the last ditch attempt drive. And I love Edelman, and he's been playing on one leg with one arm for a while now, but his limitations have been more exposed the more reliant they've been on him.
Tom Brady is a free man now though, so it's ultimately a good day. Good luck with your team and whomever they draft going forward. With any luck, Brady won't be on that team, and so I won't have to watch them and the spare parts they scramble together, while Brady's last few good years are being wasted.
