That wasnt exposed until the superbowl which the Pats did a great job on. Before that game none of those things were said.
Yeah that would explain the Patriots beating them on MNF by purposely allowing a safety, shutting them down on defense, and then driving it right down their throats for a game winning TD. Because the Broncos are in their heads.
Nobody gets in Brady's head. It's alot easier to get into Reche Caldwell's head which is why the Colts won.

I could agree with that.And the bottom line is this - this game is FAR more important for Dallas than it is for New England.
A loss for Dallas and everyone starts questioning them.
A loss for New England and nobody cares because they're still waiting for the real test against Indianapolis.
A win for Dallas finally proves they're legit.
A win for New England doesn't mean anything to them. It means that if they beat Indy in the playoffs, they're going to make mincemeat of whatever unlucky NFC team faces them in the Super Bowl. And they already knew that.
Brady has shown a tendency to get rattled when he gets knocked around...the problem is...that rarely happens because his o-line (IMO, the main reason for their success this decade) has been very good. The Dallas D is certainly capable of causing problems that line for NE is outstanding so it will not be easy.
You mean the ONLY win Brady has had against them where Jake Plummer was out?? Yet they still needed a last second td to squeak by.
omfg somebody give me one good example of brady ever being rattled.
No, it explains why the Broncos beat them in 2005. They were all over him.
plummer being out is a bad thing for denver???
Let's not get into 2005, which was THE YEAR of the most horribly officiated games in NFL history.
3 playoff games and the Super Bowl were tainted by horrible refs, 2005 shouldn't even be in the record books.
Plummer 3-0 vs Brady as the Broncos QB including a playoff win. Brady 1-5 against the Broncos. Thats ownage.
Agreed 100%. His line is absolutely outstanding, and even if a rush comes, they at least get him enough time to get the ball off. He almost never gets hammered, but one team that knows how to get in his head is Miami. The last three years, they have gotten a victory against the Pats, and a huge reason is because they got a lot of pressure on Brady, knocked him around, and rattled him quite a bit. San Diego did the same thing the past year in the playoffs, and he was terrible.

There was no CONCLUSIVE evidence that the ball that Bailey fumbled crossed the plane. Any in moron could see that. There was ONE bad call, and that was the interference call on Samuel. And that was it.
Lets not forget how many years they have been videotaping and recording signals and playcalls...
ownage?
Plummer is 3-0 against Brady.
Brady is 3-0 in the Super Bowl.
THAT, my friend, is OWNAGE.
Henry is going to be out for this game is what John Clayton is reporting. Keith Davis (who the Boys desperately need back) is probably going to be out as well. He also said that Terry Glenn has started running again and is a couple of weeks away from coming back.
Watson scares me in this game. His speed will really hurt the Boys lb's and safety's. He and Morris/Faulk coming out of the backfield are honestly my biggest concerns going into the game. I really think Watson is going to tear the Boys secondary up.
Missing Henry is going to hurt badly. I hope Glenn is good to go when he gets back, because that kind of vertical ability combined with that dude's great hands will help open up the running game by not allowing people to go 8 in the box and still play relatively close on the line.
The edge obviously goes to NE. They are a very methodical team even away from home. A positive Dallas has going for them is that Wade had success playing against NE last year, pressuring Brady into 3 INTs, 1 fumble and 2 sacks. Never has the line "being able to control the line of scrimage on both sides of the ball" been more true in this matchup for the Cowboys. Dallas needs steller offensive line play against the various blitzing schemes NE throws at people. That, and Dallas NEEDS to to get to Brady. Even if you don't sack him, put his ass on the ground, get a hand on him, make him uncomfortable. Ware needs to be on his A game for a chance of that to happen.
Offensively Dallas needs to get the ball to Owens early and often. when that happens, Owens seems to not drop many balls later in the game. Plus it'll make NE respect Owens which will open things up even more for Witten and Crayton.
Defensively I worry about Roy Williams in coverage and not having Anthony Henry really hurts. Brady is extreamly accurate and Moss has always played well against the Cowboys, thus reiterating the need to get to Brady with our blitzes.
I think NE will open up the game going 4 wide however, spread Dallas out, and try to pick Dallas apart. NE has an offensive line to consistanty do that. Coincidently I think Dallas should do the same. I look for points to be scored in this game. We'll see what happens.
