Chapter 1231 Renovation
Questioning, bustling around Brady—
It's strange to Brady.
He almost couldn't remember the taste.
Brady has been facing doubts and challenges early in his career, and he needs to prove himself again and again.
However, the past decade has been completely different. He has survived his old rival, Big Manning, he suppressed another old opponent, Brees, and he resisted the impact of the new generation Rogers. He is in the waves of alternating new and old. Prove yourself firmly and gradually transform into the number one person in the league.
"GOAT", this is where he is now.
Although he has not yet retired, he has entered the Football Hall of Fame and has left his name honestly in history.
"Brady is rugby, rugby is Brady."
Bathed under such a halo, Brady has become accustomed to soliciting and praise, and even blind trust and praise.
But this season, Brady has performed the worst data performance in a full decade, and those doubts and provocations have revived and are fully unveiled.
Brady couldn't accept this.
Or to be more precise, Brady refuses to accept—
The powerful GOAT candidate gritted his teeth and fought hard one after another.
Whether you like Brady or not, no one can deny that Brady's big heart and Bilicheck's overall control meet. Driven by the two people's almost perverted desire to survive, they can always collide and produce chemical reactions, and they will be safe again and again. , find a way to move forward in desperate situations.
So, this season, how did the New England Patriots offensive group rank seventh in the league when Brady was in poor form?
Is it a ground attack?
Right, but not right.
The New England Patriots' ground offense does play an important role. Last season, Sony Michelle, who emerged as the surprise last season, naturally became the main running back this season, and is very hopeful to win the first thousand-yard season of his career. , but he is not the savior of Fox Castle.
The real key is to rely on ground attack as a cover, and finally return to pass the ball, Brady once again showed his heroic character—
Red zone attack.
New England Patriots, the league number one.
In short, Brady performed poorly this season, and the proportion of New England Patriots' offense being eliminated early in the three-year period soared, and the data was very ugly; but as long as the New England Patriots enter the red zone, they will firmly grasp the opportunity. The success rate of the zone's touchdown is currently ranked first in the league.
This is confidence.
In fact, judging from touchdowns, total scores and other data, the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and other teams are all stronger than the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and so on are no less than New England Patriots.
However, in terms of the success rate of the red zone offensive, the New England Patriots still showed their ability to seize opportunities.
Although the retirement of tight end Gronkowski made Brady lack a red zone killer, Bilichek transformed the second running back and the third running back into heavy weapons in the red zone, which was obviously running backs, but as a result The number of touchdowns received is more than the team's main wide receiver, and we firmly grasp each touchdown opportunity.
Or to put it another way, Bilicheck and Brady's experience, background, and determination always burst out energy in crisis situations. Of course, this is not all--
Relying solely on the offensive team with a shortage of soldiers and Brady who was dragging half a leg, it was still difficult for the New England Patriots to threaten the Kansas Chiefs.
Including professionals “within the league”, despite their desire to hype gimmicks, and while they want to create sparks, they are not lunatics, and they have not forgotten a fact:
The Kansas Chief is still unbeaten, not only resisting the attacks of strong enemies, but also overcoming his own difficulties. The twelve consecutive victories are of great value.
Under such circumstances, the prediction of the game "in-League" is still a 50-50-5 match, half supporting the New England Patriots and half supporting the Kansas Chiefs. The real key lies in the defensive team.
The New England Patriots, who have always relied on Brady to win, have transformed into the league's top defensive team this season. This is an unexpected direction of the story; but precisely because of this, the new New England Patriots in front of them, Prove Bilicek's sophistication.
No wonder Lawson commented like this:
The so-called New England Patriots victory mode is that Bilichek controls the situation through the defense and secret service team, and then relies on Brady's inspiration at a critical moment. They don't care whether the victory is ugly, one-point victory and thirty-minute victory. The only thing that matters is equal.
This season, the New England Patriots defensive team stepped forward.
Currently, this defensive team ranks first in the league.
Yes, there is no error in the statistics, the New England Patriots defensive team beat the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings to temporarily hold the top spot in the league.
Among them, pass defense is the first, and ground defense is the fifth.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
This season, several New England Patriots defensive players have performed the strongest in their careers.
If wide receiver Edelman played in a super-god state last season, then cornerback Gilmore transformed into a super-saian state this season.
Leading by Gilmore, linebackers, cornerbacks and safety guards ushered in a full-scale outbreak. The New England Patriots defense team allowed the pass success rate to be the lowest in the league, with only 56.5%, which means that the quarterback is facing this team. In the defensive team, the passing success rate is suppressed below the passing line.
Two defensive groups are so dominant after the entire league, the other one is the Baltimore Ravens.
In addition, the number of pass yards, touchdowns, quarterback scores, etc. allowed by the New England Patriots defense team are all the lowest in the league; at the same time, although the sacks of this defense team are relatively low, "only "The league is only sixth, but the number of hits, interferes with passes, and intercepts in quarterbacks are all top of the league.
As of the 12th week of the regular season, the New England Patriots defense team completed twenty-one interceptions, and the second-ranked Minnesota Viking talent had only fourteen interceptions.
Not only is it leading, but it also has a huge lead.
However!
This is still not all. The defensive team in front of us is the most aggressive and scoring team in the league this season.
The ball dropped and returned the touchdown, intercepted and returned the touchdown, safe points, and the special service team kicked off/pumped and returned the touchdown, they scored eight touchdowns.
This data beat the Baltimore Ravens' seven strokes and led the league.
In other words, the offensive team led by Brady is weak in scoring?
It doesn't matter, the defensive team can score, ensuring that the New England Patriots can still find a way to maintain their victory in the face of difficulties.
This is where the New England Patriots are confident this season.
Obviously, such New England Patriots are unfamiliar, and can even be said to be a brand new team.
