That is the perfect scenario. Win the first 4 games and lose the first 4 games with Brady.
I just didn't want the excuse makers for the poor Rams offense saying. See that. Patriots can't win without a star QB either.
This isn't taking away anything from Brady. Yes, great quarterback and he is a big reason the Patriots are successful, but it does make a difference that they have a plan that works for him and the offense and they have tweaked it from when they had Moss and Welker to what they have now where the tight end is the big threat and the WRs move the chains.
He figures out what he has and the weaknesses of the opposing team and formulates an approach how to make it work.
