Yeah, that's all I got.

Not only that, but the Colts somehow managed to bring the Bronco's perfect season dream to an end, and deny Peyton Manning the all-time passing yards record by 3 yards.

For coaches like Belecheat, his offense is a ballet, and largely ignores the defense except for film tendencies and whatever he's gleaned by stealing defensive signals. So he calls a play, and Tommy Boy quick snaps it, not caring about reading the defense. (In the no huddle---Tommy can read defenses as good as anyone) It relies on the receivers/backs making the right pre-snap reads, being football savvy. That's why less athletically talented players who are smart and have good football IQ and take coaching well do well in his scheme.

He's less playing chess than performing a dance routine. It's successful until you get consistent pressure on Brady or have a significantly altered defense and do stuff that's not on film. (See Tom Coughlin's masterpiece in 2007/12)

Jeez, Patriots hate much?

I disagree most with this statement though: "In the no huddle---Tommy can read defenses as good as anyone". Tom Brady reads defenses better than any quarterback who has ever played the game...period. His record is a testament to that, and his touchdown/interception ratio this season is a really good testament to that.
