Tom Brady is no longer playing like an elite QB

The Cowboys defense is scary bad. Brady is not what he was, but he can still play. He will take advantage. If Jeff Driskill can put up 27 points, what can Tom Brady do?

Turnovers and some luck are the only way the Cowboys win this game. Cowboys have more talent, but the disparity in coaching is as wide as the Grand Canyon.

I don't think you have to worry about the Pats Offense. It's the defense that is carrying the team. Brady can be very average at times. But he also has the capability to be elite. Their lack of the consistent run game will probably fix itself vs. the dallas D. I hope not but that's just my gut feeling at this point.

He has 4 games of over 300 yards and 5 games of multiple touchdowns.

He isn't nearly as dominate but make no mistake, if the cowboys defense plays half *** he's still more than capable of airing it out on us.

He's going to Bone Tomahawk our arses! I'd put up a gif, but it'll make some of you puke.

Their offensive line is pretty poor and they aren’t getting much out of running game. I also think they are missing a big time threat at WR.

If there is a week they figure it out, it will be this one.
They are getting back their LT against us, and though he's a rookie, we know how well we scheme to confuse rookies. Brady struggles when pressured up the middle, something we can't do. A

he loves to use running backs on quick patterns to the outside, something else we are very bad at covering. I think their running game will be plenty to keep us busy, but if they need Brady to pass, I think he'll be successful.

Hopefully Dak can prevent the crap start, because another thing the Pats do well it's get off to great starts. We have to come out strong. If we're down 14-0 Sunday, it's fat lady time.

I really, really, hope we can do this somehow, because I'll get endless crap if we lose.

helluva player who will not be taken lightly...by anyone.
but our DLine has some real opportunities to make him uncomfortable with their banged up OLine....tho Isaiah Wynn is expected back.
I still think DLaw,Quinn&Bennett can get to him....BJ,Awuzie and Lewis need to handle things on the back end.
but we can't be stupid with or about #12.....he's GREAT....and pissed.

An all time great like Brady at the latter end of his career is obviously not nearly as good as he was even 5 years ago. But he can still rise up and be great once in a while, just not as consistently. He can’t throw with the same velocity as he once had but he makes up for it in smarts.

He’s probably the smartest, savviest player on the field. I would never underestimate a champion like this.

True, Driskill & the Lions put up 27, but pull the curtain back and see what’s behind it. The offense gifted the Lions Field position at about the 30 on their first possession. And 2 other scoring drives were extended and aided greatly by good pressure from the DL causing to Driskill to bail the pocket and complete long plays. Brady is NOT a threat to run and extend plays. He is a threat to eat us up on quick slants and pick plays.

Brady does not have much to work with this year,they dont have any stars on offense.
Their defense is fairly good, but mainly it is just coaching and brady that allow them to win games.

The weather could help them, if it is cold and raining that will help the pats.
If it is clear and not too cold, then that might favor the cowboys.
