On Monday morning, Tom Brady expressed his frustration with the New England Patriots' lack of offensive production this past weekend in their win over the Philadelphia Eagles, as they mustered just 289 total yards and managed 17 points.
Offense has been a problem for the Patriots for much of the season, as their receiving corps is not what they thought it would be coming into the year and their running game has struggled.
As for how offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels feels about Brady's displeasure?
He is perfectly fine with it, saying that the six-time Super Bowl champion means well:
“I’ve been with Tom a long time and I appreciate his competitive spirit, his desire to be perfect in everything he does and with everything that our unit does,” McDaniels said, according to Darren Hartwell of NBC Sports Boston. “I don’t ever take that as a negative. I understand he wants to go out there and do what we all do which is to put a lot of points on the board every week.”
Brady himself has not looked up to par this season, throwing for 2,752 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 63.7 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 90.7.
Of course, by now, we should know not to judge the Patriots by what they do during the regular season, and it's not exactly like they have been struggling to win games even with their questionable offense.
New England is 9-1 and appears to be well on its way to locking down a first-round bye in the AFC.
Still, if the Pats want to make another Super Bowl run, it wouldn't hurt if their offense improved a bit.
