Patriots and Tom Brady perfect over Jaguars
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Tom Brady almost perfect
26 of 28. Think about that for a moment.
Ok, here is my question. Name one thing that you can do 26 out of 28 times.
Now go out in your backyard and throw the football to someone that is on the run and try and complete 26 out of 28. It is almost impossible and you are only 10 yards away without some 309 pound guy in your face trying to crush you.
Tom Brady did it to set an all time NFL record, regular season or post season, and Tom did it in one of the biggest games of all time. You see, this game gave the New England Patriots the record of 17 - 0. That ties the Miami Dolphins 17 - 0 record set over 3 decades ago.
There was pressure to win. Not even counting the pressure to win a playoff game against David Garrard and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Final Score - New England Patriots 31 - Jacksonville Jaguars 20.
There was no denying Tom Brady today.
Brady completed 92.6 percent of his passes, breaking Phil Simms record of 88 percent (22-of-25) set in the Super Bowl after the 1986 season in which he led the New York Giants to a 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos.
And Brady did it mostly without Randy Moss, who had only one catch.
He hit all the other receivers — throwing for three touchdowns and 262 yards.
“Tom is terrific,” Seymour said. “He’s a great leader and he does all the little things.” source
Tom Terrific, now there is a new name for Brady.
Phil Simms had a terrific day himself in that Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. He was named the MVP of that game. It is kind of funny, but watching that game that day, one got the feeling that Phil had just practiced his craft for so long that he was just being steady with his throws, not spectacular. You know how Brett Favre looks amazing with the bullets he zings. Phil looked more like Tom Brady, just calmly throwing the short pass to the somewhat open guy and completing it.
Tom Brady and the Patriots
Tom did not have to do all the work today as Laurence Maroney had 122 yards and 1 touchdown. Also the Patriots defense held Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor to just 66 yards.
The Patriots will play the winner of the Peyton Manning Colts or LaDainian Tomlinson Chargers game later on this Sunday.
The only thing for sure is the Patriots have a shot at victory 18 and a trip to the Super Bowl.
Perfection is tough to beat!
