1. Will the real Tom Brady please stand up

Tom Brady has had a rather mediocre season for such a great quarterback. New England Patriots fans have high expectations, but still something seems off about Brady.

The clear tell that Brady is struggling is that he is making poor decisions. When you think of Tom Brady you think of an efficient and smart player. This season he has had some mental mistakes.

We have seen Brady awfully misthrow his receivers and throw some terrible interceptions. I guess it should be expected since Brady is 41 years old, but it seemed like he would never slow down.

Brady’s performance in Week 17 will show if he is ready for a long run in the playoffs. I would love to see Brady throw for 300 yards and have 3 or 4 touchdowns.

If Tom Brady has a strong game in Week 17 he will cause problems in the playoffs and hopefully lead New England to another Super Bowl.
