NFT: The Tom Brady Injury and the Jimmy Garoppolo trade

Britt in VA : 1/19/2018 9:30 am
If it turns out that Tom Brady misses the game on Sunday, how much is the Jimmy Garoppolo trade amplified if any of what ESPN reported about the situation was true?

Belichick would have to be red hot about that.
I'll eat my shoe

if Brady misses the game.
If he misses practice today....

it will be a big deal.
He's not going to miss the game.

The ? is his effectiveness.
He is playing

But if he limited in his throwing, they don't have the big back in Blount that they used to have to lean on.

Only to the media. He could literally fly in from Cabo on Sunday morning, and he would still play.

Is his hand sore? Probably. Will he take more snaps from shotgun? Probably. It might affect his play especially with the Jags collapsing the pocket, but he'll still make his throws.
It kind of reminds me of his injury in 07

When everyone here thought it was total BS but in hindsight it probably had an effect on his performance.
It's the thumb on his throwing hand.....

Even if it's jammed and stiff, it's going to affect his throwing.

You're assuming there's an actual injury and this isn't just some charade from BB/Brady. Those 2 lost the benefit of the doubt long ago!
Also possible.

Wait...

Brady is actually injured? I thought this was just the Pats playing their games.
If they just deflate the game  
mikeygiants : 1/19/2018 10:10 am : link
balls by a few PSI that would really help.

BB may have implemented the greatest mind fuck in playoff history. He is claiming an injury to a small, concealable body part that can potentially have a massive impact on performance (not easy throwing a football when you can't grip it effectively). Tell the world Tom's thumb is injured, throw a glove on it, and keep him on the sideline. It's not like he really needs to take any more practice snaps this year.

Is Brady hurt? Are the Pats lying? Who the hell knows. Does this impact the Jaguars psychologically? Will it create that small bit of doubt in the back of their minds that may just get them to relax just a little bit?

The risk you take getting an extra 2nd.

This will certainly blow up if Brady can't go or plays poorly.
no way brady misses the game

TB12 is code for HGH or some other banned substance that he and his trainer have discovered how to 'administer' with out the league being able to detect it. They are going to the superbowl. Belichick has camera's in the visitors locker room, bugs in their headsets and some kind of mild sleeping gas in their locker room ventilation system....

No I don't believe in bigfoot or aliens...much.
Brady back at practice today.

He's been at practice. See if he throws the ball. He hasn't thrown a pass since Tuesday. I don't even know if he's taken any hand-offs since then.
Let’s see what designation he gets
