Over the 2019 season the Patriots offense has struggled. In 2018 the pass catchers sucked and we knew it was them to blame. In 2019 however, the offense has so many people to point to.
This season the Patriots have played a very predictable offense. Teams know when it's a run or pass. James white has not been utilized properly. The team has dealt with injuries, that have hurt the run game. There has been a revolving door at wide receiver and both Izzo and Lacosse have dealt with injury. Ben Watson was suspended, DT was traded and Maurice Harris was cut before the season started.
Tom brady has not played like Tom Brady. There are some reasons for this. Team injuries, The revolving door at receiver, Marshal Newhouse. However, Tom has not looked as accurate in 2019. Some fans want Brady to be held accountable but all Patriots fans seem to come out and defend him when he is held accountable. We cannot have it both ways. What Tom has done coming into the 2019 season doesn't matter after week one kicked off. All that matters is last weeks game and the upcoming game.
Tom Brady versus Houston had a pick and a couple of near picks. He was hanging on to the ball too long when guys were open, not throwing it to open guys, throwing it away or out of reach for his own players, forcing it to receivers, not taking what the defense was giving him, not scrambling when he could have, and lastly either Brady wasn't seeing the field, didnt trust his guys, was protesting for AB, or made up his mind on where the Ball was going. Brady looked like a rookie and not a near 20 year veteran.
Brady is the goat, he is better than two thirds the quarterbacks in the league. However, Brady is human. He admits he can improve, we need to remind him on occasion that he messed up. Doesnt matter how often. He screams at his teammates. Disfunction starts at the top. Nobody is above the law, and nobody is above criticism.
