I watched until the Ekuale sack and that breakdown just made it impossible to take seriously. The back was still actively engaged with the edge defender until well after the guard is murdered and Ekuale is a free rusher right up the gut. That's an easy sack on 95% of veteran QBs.

Might someone like Brady just float the fuck out of it figuring either his back releases or it's a throwaway? I guess, though plays like that are what cost him a perfect season. And he sure as hell wasn't going to as a rookie, and most QBs will never get to a point where they can salvage that play.

Thus overreaction thread
