When Tom Brady asserted that he “sucked” in Sunday’s AFC championship game, not many people were in a rush to disagree with him. Upon a second look at the game, perhaps Brady was being a bit hard on himself, or so at least one Patriots reporter believes. Brady got the job done - Greg A Bedard’s game review, which has consistently been one of the best weekly columns of this season, notes that Brady actually played well on Sunday, and that playoff football is completely different from regular season football. Tom Brady Will Bounce Back With Strong Super Bowl Performance and 19 Other Patriots Thoughts - Jeff Howe thinks that Brady will have a big Super Bowl performance, though I’m not so sure, as Bedard notes above, the playoffs are a completely different style of football. 46 lines on 23 issues - Tom E Curran has some very interesting observations and thoughts from Sunday, including Ravens CB Chris Carr calling Brady an ”arrogant [bleep] ” aft...

Return to the Top: Tom Brady and New England Patriots back in the big game

Via Checkdown Chatter  |  January 24, 2012
The AFC Championship game wasn’t a typical win for the 2011 Patriots. Their bend but don’t break defense nearly broke (in fact, if Billy Cundiff takes a time out/depending on who you ask about the Lee Evans non-touchdown it broke indeed), quarterback Tom Brady took too many chances with the ball and missed open receivers, [...] But regardless, Brady heads back to the...

Tom Brady Says He Sucked In Postgame Conference

Via Cosby Sweaters  |  January 23, 2012
I gave Ray Lewis praise for his post game conference comments, and in the same breath I have to give some to Tom Brady.  Tom had an unusually poor performance against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, to say the least.  Tom finished the game 22 for 36 passing, 2 interceptions and a 57.5 QB rating.  However, as good players are known to do, he told it...

Super Bowl loss to Giants haunts Brady

Via T-Rock's Take On The Giants  |  January 23, 2012
If footage of Super Bowl XLII pops on, Tom Brady doesn't throw a bag of popcorn in the microwave and kick back. The Patriots quarterback has little interest in viewing the Giants' 17-14 comeback win, which continues to haunt him four years later.

And they say he chokes?

Via The Colts Authority  |  January 25, 2012
While looking at QB playoff performance Football Outsiders notes that both Tom Brady and Eli Manning are among the top 3 in DYAR. To gain some perspective they compared them to the top DYAR QBs since 1995. Who is at the top of the list? You might recognize him.
