Bye bye Pezzy!   Do you think Brady will avoid throwing picks on Sunday?  I hope so.

Explain what I am "dead wrong" about?  You morons just come on here, 1 by 1, following me around in between every thread, and it's always tied to a thread where you can see an opportunity to promote Brady and bash BB and his defense. It's like clockwork.  Look at the board. I have RKarp following me around trying to regain leverage ever so desperately, and now you two are in here, ruining this thread as diseased Brady Ballwashers and selfish turds.

You little girls thing Brady is above the team. I say he's not.

The crux of that piece True Champ posted is about balance. Nothing more, nothing less.

I posted the article with no agenda. I thought it was interesting...very interesting how they broke down the difference between 3 main offensive philosophies. As I read it again I would point out that when Weiss brought this system in with BB we were a balanced offense and clearly more clutch in post season play. As we adapted to Naploians rule changes we started spreading the field more and running out of the SG as half our offense. This offense has been very explosive and Brady has put up unbelievable numbers. However this offense is a finesse offense that has proven easier to defend in the post season. Bradys numbers specifically his td to int rate have suffered in the post season compared to where it was with Weiss's.

I think that BB and McD have left no stone unturned to bring this offense to its full potential. From spending time with Chip Kelly and other college coaches and using a no huddle like its never been used before, to almost leading the lg in rushing atts. The coaching staff has built something that will be very difficult to stop. I believe Brady will benefit greatly and that he is about to turn in his finest post season performance of his career and win Lombardi #4. 

Rock Scull, read the title of the article and maybe you can grasp this.

As the players and schemes have changed, it's the way the Patriots talk that's continued their offensive dominance.

Get it? The way they TALK (communicate) leads to the offensive dominance. Not their offensive philosophy. The players and schemes (balance one way or the other) change. But it's the E-P communication system (as adapted by BB) that allows the no huddle to work so well.

Great article and entertaining read. More proof that the Coach is the best in the business and the Qb may be the best of all time.

Junior, we didn't even mention Brady. Insane much?

The crux of the piece has absolutely nothing to do with balance. It has to do with BB using the E-P naming SYSTEM to allow efficient application of the no-huddle.

Did you even read it? Did you even read our comments?

Here, read it now...

With the help of his assistants, Belichick's primary innovation was to go from an Erhardt-Perkins offense to an Erhardt-Perkins system, built on its method of organizing and naming plays. The offense itself would be philosophically neutral."

Or balanced.

Neutral means balanced.

Get it?

It was IMBALANCED in 2007, 2009 and last year.

Agreed. It is amazing watching how Brady has mastered this offense and changes/adapts as his personnel and the rules shift. The one constant is the BB Brady combination. However as I said, in the early years under Charlie we adopted more of the ground and poundapproach that was used in the 70s. The last few years was tilted way more to pass heavy sg with dwindling post season results. I think we have come full circle this year while staying the most innovative. The more I read about what we have done on offense this year the more confident I am we can beat the ravens and the niners. I don't think the Falcons would be in the game personally.

I for one am glad we've "devolved" to the more traditional offense we ran in the early Belichick years as it bodes well for our championship aspirations.

The use of the running game mixed with the hurry up against Denver earlier this year was the most impressive offense I had seen since 2007. They got sloppy in the 4th quarter to make it seem closer than it was but if the Pats can run an attack like that on a consistent basis over the next two weeks they would be unstoppable. How much does the loss of Gronk make Belichick revert to their more traditional spread though is my question.

Great question, and honestly after hearing Woodhead was going to be the lead back like he was against the Jets in the 1st rd loss in 2010, I am worried that we may have even lost this past week.

Remove Vareen for the game and insert Woody and we still move the ball but does Woody dominate like Shane did? I don't think so. Ridley actually came in and sparked our 1st scoring drive by running 12 yards up the gut on his 1st carry,. Houston was never right defensively after that, unless you count the 4 and out sandwiched in between Houstons 2 tds drives in the 4rth wtr when we did absolutely nothing to use any clock.

After Houstons 2nd scoring drive of the 4rth qtr we brought in Ridley and went on our longest drive of the game. Rode Ridley to a win. I hope we run/screen/checkdown to our Rb's all game, and when the Ravens adjust we hit Lloyd and Hern on some deeper plays.

Need to keep Brady clean as he was actually pressurd last week more then he had been for quite some time while going with the pass heavy approach. The drives that worked were the balanced drives that left Houston gasping and guessing. The drives that didn't were the pass, pass pass drives that didn't use clock and put our D back on the field. I challenge any of you to check the play by play to see what I mean. Anyway I hope we see a healthy dose of Ridley and Vareen on Sunday. After all they had half of our yards and 4 of our 5 tds.

Personally I do not like Woodhead as the lead back like he was in the first Raven game but I like Woodhead a lot. He has been huge on 3rd downs and he has very good hands. He, in my opinion is their best blocker and Belichik probably felt like the extra protection was more important than anything else since the game plan appeared to be similar to the first game. People may have forgotten that Brady got hit pretty hard in that first Texans game. Once Woodhead and Gronkowski went down Belichik, McDaniels and Brady improvised, on the fly, a great offense. Why anyone would give the coaches anything less than an A grade is beyond me. Luckily for everyone, Vereen was up to the challenge of doing Woodheads role, which he clearly was not ready for against San Francisco. He did not appear to do diferrent things than Woodhead, he just did them faster. We may never see a game like that out of Vereen ever again to be honest. I think they still would have won with Woodhead but Vereen made it a near blow out. I know many here like BJGE alot, and I do too, but Ridley is the better back and he continues to get good first down runs late in the game, which is the key to running out the clock. The Broncos got stuck with a 3rd and long at the end of regulation because their running back could not get the positive yardage when everyone knew he was going to run. Ridley has been able to this year much more than BJGE ever could. Combine that with an improved defense and i am more confident this year compared to last year and I was pretty confident last year by the way.

" Brady thought trying to pass his way into sb wins was the answer.  It is not."

Yeah Brady just did it all on his own, and Belichick let Brady tarnish his legacy with Super Bowl losses while he did nothing about it. You have some important points along the way, but this particular one is such junk analysis. No way Belichick lets anyone cross his legacy like that. It's odd that you as a Belichick supporter would undermine him by asserting he had no control over Brady even though there is plenty of evidence to negate that and very little to support it. But hey who cares about facts when we can have forum conjecture and conspiracies...

Never mind we haven't had the running talent in recent year to have that kind of balance. Which of course is why Belichick drafted better running backs....
