In response to tcal2-'s comment:

you just prove your lack of intelligence by continuing to call me rusty. 

anyways, as far as the offense goes, id like to see the pats bring in another receiver alongside lloyd, maybe a dwyane bowe if possible price wise....also it would be nice for gronk to stay healthy for one damn playoff run before brady retires. McD is a good playcalled, but has failed in adjusting his gameplan in games when brady is struggling...

but most of all, brady just has to play better. if he wants a 4th ring, he has to play much better in the playoffs than he has been...and he knows it. you guys can point fingers at other players you want, but it comes down to #12. if he plays well, the team will succeed, if not....well you see what happens.

Brady needs to play better.......yet you list the Two main reasons why he played the way he did. 

Now add a regressing Ridley, a useless Branch a slot reciever that can't catch and Hernandez playing out of position.

So stop the concerned troll act, everyone can see right through you.

A  decent WR and a healthy Gronk

lloyd and welker are more than decent, but the gronk injury did hurt.

I must confess that I do not have the answer to the original question.  I'm a huge Brady fan but for some reason he's become inconsistent in the playoffs.

The team around him is second rate, unlike in the dynasty years. Simply accept the fact BB has let the team fall from its former magnitude and hope something good will come along in the years ahead. And if that is to be, it will more likely be by the hand of somebody other than BB.

but to suggest that everyone else around him is second rateI think overlooks some pretty good talent.

That isn't what I said.

I said the TEAM around him is second rate. That would be the sum of all parts excluding Brady. Of course there are some outstanding players.

But put Tannehill, Fitz or Sanchez on the team and give any of them Brady and they win the division.

Iceman's right. We need a couple Anquon Boldins, julius jones or roddy whites in our lineup. our finesse style hobbit receivers are yeatserdays news. we need guys that can jump and out muscle the CBs covering them

They might win the division, not certain of it though. I also am not sure Brady would beat the patriots. At least not the first year.

Brady has a long history of performing poorly against coaches who are intimitely familar with him, not always but more times than not.

McDaniels gave him fits when with Denver. Mangini gave him some fits when at Cleveland and Jets. Rob Ryan has given him fits at Dallas. Rex has given him some fits at times, I assume with long talks with his brother. The Ravens have given him fits seemingly forever and it has continued for the most part now with Pees as DC.

Again, not evey time but more times than not.

I am quite certain BB would be able to give Brady some fits as well. At least initially.

Looks like the BBWs have arrived in force to try to deflect.

The BBWs are kind of like bible thumping Tea Partiers. It doesn't matter what the facts tell us, the reality of a situation, science, etc, it's all about pumping that rhetoric.

Brady and his offense could walk into next January and lay another egg at home and they'd all swing in to blame the defense, regardless.

Brady has a long history of performing poorly against coaches that are intimately familiar with him? Tell that to all the AFC east coaches that got to know him intimately - he put them all out of work...what was it? Ten of them? Tell that to Bill Cowher who faced him somewhere around seven times...did Cowher ever beat him in an important game? And those games were usaully on the road against Cowher's mighty defenses. Or how about Tony Dungy? I wonder how Tony Dungy enjoyed their intimate relationship? Losing all those games in the playoffs and regular season to Brady.

McDanials gave him fits?? How, by winning one game because Welker dropped a pass? Mangini gave him fits? Brady put him on the unemployment line. Rex has given him fits? Has Rex even won a game against him in two years? He will be the next going on unemployment due to Brady.

The only part of your post I agree with is when you say BB would give him fits - and that's only if he had a defense to do it with.

I'm old....I get confused easily.

You need to stop this, now. And stop abusing the name of Jesus Christ in many of your comments. I know I'm alone on this anti-Christ board. Christ does not need my defense but HIS Holy Word does - as it is written. But you pail in reference/comparison to all the TBN liars with thier gospel of wealth, health and sign, wickedness.

Enjoy your night ....
