Someone tell me what happened. I was ready to ask for a re-count.
There were two certified Hall-of-Famers on the field yesterday. One rushed for 187 yards and two touchdowns. The other threw three interceptions. Guess who won?
San Diego spent 45 minutes blowing New England off both sides of the ball. Leaving aside the weird Denver game that turned on two atrocious calls (pass interference near the end of the first half, and the no-call on the fumble out of bounds in the end zone) and several weird flukes, Brady has never looked worse in a game so big. Bill Simmons on ESPN.com postulated a month ago that Brady is badly hurt, somewhere, not that we'll know. Bill Belichik keeps such matters a secret worthy of North Korea, and so it will be February 15th or thereabouts when we read in tiny print that "Tom Brady entered Boston Mercy hospital for elbow surgery." Or knee surgery or back surgery or whatever; no way does the Brady of three years ago not drill Ben Watson between the numbers on that down-and-in.

Yes, it was Brady's mysterious injury that made him look so bad. NOT!!
It's called rushing your throws. The Bolts were bearing down on "Wonder Boy" all day, yet he still got rid of the ball just in time on numerous plays. We even saw Brady throw the ball away a couple times as if to say, "Do over!! Let's huddle up and try this again guys."
On the play you speak of he didn't even set his feet and his momentum was going backwards.
No injury here. Although Hawkeye and Trapper might fake one for "Wonder Boy" if you want(complete with x-rays and a note from his mother). It's called panic my friend.
Kudos to Tom Brady for sticking with it. Kudos to the offensive line for doing just enough to keep Brady breathing.
No matter how cloudy the day gets, there's always a ray of sunshine somewhere. And no matter how fleeting that gap in the clouds might be, "Wonder Boy" will zing it through, on target, every time.
