that's true, but teams do the same thing/similar things vs. Fitz, Megatron, Andre, Wayne, etc. and yet all of those receivers are still being more productive than Moss is, unless you are telling me that they are all flat out better than Randy, which is clearly not true.
Sure, lots of variables are involved and they are all different receivers (esp. Randy, who is almost a pure deep threat).
I mean, I just don't understand why the Pats aren't finding more ways to get him involved/throw it to him a few more times during the game to let him go and make plays. Rarely does a throw to Moss get picked (Revis pick is the only one I can think of in the last 3 seasons and it really doesn't count bc Randy and Brady were not on the same page, Randy wasn't running at full speed bc he didn't think the ball was going his way while Tom just chucked it up/underthrew it), worse case it is an incomplete or PI.
Just look at Indy, Wayne gets doubled almost every play yet he is still avg. ~1TD/game. The Colts and Manning are finding ways to get him involved bc he is clearly their #1 and best receiver.
I mean, goal line situations should be auto TD's for Randy. That is HIS SPECIALTY.
Can the Pats not do this? So far, the only highlights this season of Brady to Moss have been overthrown TD's, at least 3-4 that I can think of (1 vs the Jets, 1 yesterday vs. Broncos, 1 vs the Falcons, maybe even missing some more).[/QUOTE]
