        You will never hear Tom Brady say something anything close to this...well, what's he know? Only 9 Super Bowl appearances and 6 SB wins. 

        The fact we have to worry about BM being "up" for games is a major concern. If he was "up for" TN and LA would they be 4-0 right now?

        I could not disagree more...

        Tom and Baker? Apples and handgrenades...

        The only meaningful issue surrounding Tom's demeanor and its impact upon his success is that he is true to it.

              This is a job, and Baker has been playing this sport for many years.

              Did he just say these words because he thought that's what fans wanted to hear.. or did he actually do something different?

              I would like to hear more about specifically what was different before having any more reaction.

              My theory is, 1.) It was the Ravens (extra hate), 2.) The 1st 3 games showed him that he/they had to do more than just show up to roll teams; it takes focus and alacrity.

                    lots of injuries/poor team play as well

                      actually, thats the narrative you just created. and it took some mental gymnastics to arrive there. nice to know your opinions have basically nothing of value, so i dont have to waste anymore time on you.

                          He clearly played his best game, much more like last season when he tossed 27 TDs in less than a full season. But, I think the biggest difference was in the play calling, and not giving up on the run.

                            I really took this as a bit of a throwaway quote. Like one of those things people say where the common response is, “well yeah, duh.” 

                            I’m better at sex when l’m naked.

                                Great playcalling.. one trick play didn’t work early on but the beautiful Jarvis OBJ option made up for it. Getting Hubbard back made a difference.

                                  That's what Baker said, and he said he was "fired up" for this game, but apparently not for the last 3. Why the f--k not? 

                                  So, can we only hope for Baker being fired up for 25% of his games? Why wasn't he fired up for the other 3? I'm not OK with this.

                                  That's what Baker said, and he said he was "fired up" for this game, but apparently not for the last 3. Why the f--k not? 

                                  it's why we ask for links...That's NoT* what Baker said Cube,

                                  @4:55 the media's question was "Freddie's Playcalling, Did it feel different today"?..Bake=" I played better, made it easy on him. Anytime the QB sucks, properly pretty hard to call plays"... Their is no mystery link saying anything about not playing fired up any week...See choco's post & please close this thread...
