| Our view: The pair of rookie corners starting for the Dolphins never stood a chance. |

Patriots | Brady dismisses notion of preferential treatment Sat Nov 7, 10:22 AM
Albert Breer, of The Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady scoffed at the notion that he receives his own set of rules. Miami Dolphins LB Joey Porter recently said that Brady influences referees to throw penalty flags. 'No, I don't think so,' Brady said. 'You may get more calls (for roughing the passer this year than in the past). I don't know. I don't think I've ever influenced a call. I think the ref calls what he sees. I don't think I've ever influenced a call. The refs we have are very good. If they make a call on that, great. If they don't, that's fine.'
| Our view: What is Brady supposed to say? Yes, I get special treatment! In today's NFL the quarterback is very protected by the rules and officials just do their best to follow them. |

Dolphins | Porter discusses Brady Fri Nov 6, 02:34 PM
ESPN.com reports Miami Dolphins LB Joey Porter said that he thinks New England Patriots QB Tom Brady gets his own set of rules each week. 'No question,' said Porter. 'When a guy can tell a ref when to throw a flag and he gets it and stuff like that, he got his own rules. They made the whole (rule that you) don't go at the legs because of Tom. So when he feels that someone is coming at his legs, he just points at the ref and he gets a flag. So you've got to honestly say that he got his own rules.' Porter also recently said that he has 'natural hate' for the Patriots.

Patriots | Brady throws three TD passes Week 7 Sun Oct 25, 05:30 PM
The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 23-for-32 for 308 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
| Our view: One of Brady's interceptions was a bad decision in the red zone and the other was a great read by Aqib Talib on a deep ball. Otherwise, Brady pretty had his way with the Bucs. |

Patriots | Brady sets NFL record in Week 6 blowout Sun Oct 18, 07:56 PM
The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady threw an NFL record five touchdowns in second quarter in Week 6. He finished the game 29-for-34 for 380 yards and six touchdowns, which set a team record.
| Our view: Brady was showing signs of putting it together as the weeks have progressed and certainly was helped by a Titans' secondary decimated by injury, but his performance in the second quarter shows how explosive the Patriots' spread offense can be. |

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 25-for-42 for 277 yards with a touchdown pass Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons.
| Our view: Brady could have thrown multiple touchdown passes had his receiving corps been on the same page and held onto a couple of passes on their fingertips. Getting Wes Welker back would also be a big boost to Brady's value. |

Patriots | Brady believes he will be pressured Week 3 Wed Sep 23, 04:51 PM
Howard Ulman, of The Associated Press, reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady said he believes he will be pressured by the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. Brady said one way for him to avoid the pass rush is read the defense quickly and get rid of the ball.
| Our view: NFL teams may be taking a page out of Steve Spagnulo's plan for beating the Patriots back in Super Bowl Fourty-Two. That plan calls for lots of pressure on Tom Brady. Even if a team doesn't get a sack, they still want to get to Brady and knock him down if they can. The more uncomfortable Brady feels, the more disrupted the timing of the offense will be. Defenses had better be careful though, because Brady still has the ability to slice through a defense like a surgeon and doesn't need that much time to throw. The Patriots will adjust their offense, and perhaps leave more players in to block, if this pressure on Brady continues. |

Patriots | Brady struggles Week 2 Sun Sep 20, 05:13 PM
The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 23-for-47 for 216 yards with an interception during the team's Week 2 game against the New York Jets.
| Our view: Observers are noting that Brady isn't stepping into his throws and his accuracy has suffered. It's a sign that Brady doesn't yet trust his surgically repaired knee, a problem that Carson Palmer also struggled with in his first season back. The aggressive Jet defense and strong secondary also played a role in Brady's struggles. |

Patriots | Brady's status for preseason finale unknown Wed Sep 2, 10:09 AM
NFL.com reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady's (shoulder) status for the team's preseason finale Thursday, Sept. 3, remains unknown. Brady practiced Tuesday, Sept. 1.
| Our view: Like many teams, the Patriots don't like to use their starters very much in the final preseason game. Getting coach Belichick to talk about injuries is about as difficult as breaking into Ft. Knox, so we won't know how bad the injury really is, or how Brady is recovering. Brady was back to throwing in practice on Tuesday, so he should be ready to go by week 1 of the regular season. In the meantime, the Patriots are going to get extended looks at Brady's backups, Andrew Walter and Brian Hoyer. |

Patriots | Brady could play in preseason finale Mon Aug 31, 11:35 AM
ESPN.com reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (shoulder) said Monday, Aug. 31, that he expects to play in the team's preseason finale if head coach Bill Belichick allows him to. 'I have bumps and bruises,' Brady said in his weekly appearance on a Boston radio station. 'It's a physical game. Like I said, I fell a little bit awkwardly, but I'm expecting to be out there and I'm expecting to play this week, if coach let's me. We'll just see how the week goes.'
| Our view: The Patriots were on fire with Tom Brady and Randy Moss leading the way until Brady went down with a shoulder injury. Brady is a gamer, and loves to compete, but the team will be very cautious with their superstar quarterback. They must feel pretty comfortable about Brady's injury because they released Kevin O'Connell, and only have the newly signed Andrew Walter and undrafted free agent Brian Hoyer behind Tom Brady. |
