I think it’s also a near FACT that Galloway’s skills simply are diminished to the point where he’s ineffective. It’ll be easy to see who is right among the pro and con Galloway camps in the upcoming weeks. If he continues to kill them with mistakes and Brady simply declines to throw to him, he’s cut.

My guess would be Welker short, Moss running more intermediate routes, and Galloway more verticle or drawing coverage to allow Moss to have single coverage.

With that said, at crunch time, Brady should go to Moss. He is the best receiver.

I would also point out that 2007 was a huge anomaly. In the NFL, it usually takes 3 years for a passing attack to gel. Expecting a QB who hasn’t played in 80 weeks to automatically click with new receivers isn’t that realistic.

The real question is why a 15 year receiver is making rookie mistakes. He’s putting pressure on his team with drops against the Jets and Falcons at critical moment.

I wonder if the “issues” go beyond the field – what is his perceived work ethic. I don’t think he’s had a reputation as a lazy player, ever in his career, but is he doing enough to lose himself in the Patriot system?

The scowl (I’ll call it) Brady had on the sideline towards (I assume) the receivers that didn’t convert on the goal line looked like it went beyond those two individual plays – like it was a pent up frustration.

I also think it was telling that, in the second half, when the game was in the balance, Brady went to Moss – it just looks like he feels he can’t trust the other WR’s when crunch time comes.

What do you guys think? Am I off base on my sentiments?

Cheers.

As great as that catch was, it still was just his first catch of the season. He was only on the field because Harvin was winded from running several straight go routes.
