Patriots Dink and Dunk offense

[GoobyPls]

They have been running the same offense for god knows how long, yet no one can stop them.

 

I think there was a stat of Brady being 1-22 on passes longer than 20 yards, its all short passes to wide open receivers, its frustrating to watch.

They have the perfect receivers for the offense they run lately. Edelman is just too quick and precise a route runner to be covered that quickly off the snap. Amendola has been disappointing since joining New England but made some big plays tonight. Gronk is Gronk and Vereen was huge for New England tonight. I can't remember watching a game where Seattle tackled that poorly. They tailored the offense perfectly for an aging QB in Brady. The dink and dunk works with the receivers they have especially because Brady is still accurate, can read a defense effortlessly, and gets the ball out quickly.

Thomas and Sherman didn't tackle very well and Simon was complete trash (almost on Godfrey level) in coverage and tackling. Injuries had something to do with it... What was painful to watch was how well New England's line played against the Seahawks D-line. 1 sack all game and the only guy who got any pressure at all was Bennett. Over 200 of Brady's yards were after the catch, maybe even over 250. Basically, Belichick is a genius. A cheater, but also a genius.

Short passes and screens is exactly how you beat an overly aggressive PED'd out defense.

The one sack they got on Brady, was his fault. He was barely even touched the whole game.

 

Seattle D today was no where near last season, no Bryant, Clemons, Lane, Avril, Thomas with a separated shoulder and Sherman night need tommy john surgery.

The last time they were in the Super Bowl they were a big-play offense.  What they actually do is tailor an effective game plan to the defense they're facing, and then they go out and execute it.  Brady is a huge part of that.

It's just smart coaching and personnel decisions. All of their offensive personnel present a match up issue if put in the correct position. When their quick guys are hurt they switch to a ground and pound running game. They have a veteran quarterback that knows the playbook well enough to run different concepts week to week. 

 

They really worked us last year too, we just made enough plays and got a few turnovers. 

 

If you are suggesting the Panthers run the same thing, I can see the merits in that. Who needs a perfect offensive line when the ball is out in under 2 seconds? But the Panthers personnel is currently just mashed together on offense. If you go to the Seattle tape and watch our recievers try to get off the line of scrimmage...even without the press these guys are flat footed in their starting position while Cliff Avril is 3 yards into the backfield.

They never were a big play offense IMO, even when they had Moss alot of Brady passes were dink and dunk, and Moss made Brady look like a good deep ball passer.

That's what happens when you have an OC that knows what he's doing.

Meanwhile in Carolina we love to call slow developing, long bomb pass plays to slow ass receivers that can't get separation.

I totally detest Bill Belichick but i have to give his cheating rearend credit for being able to mold a team, by using the strenght of the players available.

Brady averaged 7.1 yards per attempt this year.  In that season he averaged 8.3 yards per attempt.  That's a significant difference.

I love their offense, wish ours was similar

Hate em, but Brady has ice in his veins.
