    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.

    Rule #1: Don't try to be anyone else... be who you are.

    "We"? Got a mouse in your pocket? 'Cause I don't exactly see the masses here lining up behind you...

    I don't need anyone's approval like the insecure, do you?

    Yea, well, when a QB admits he "wasn't fired up" to play 3 games, it's something to consider.

    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.

    Yes.... but not because I am insecure... just human.

    But that's it? No counter argument?

    In that case I accept your surrneder

    Oh... and if you thrive on disagreement, then you're either a troll... or Gipper.

    That’s not all it was, don’t get me wrong.

    lots of injuries/poor team play as well

    edit: he didn’t play  a perfect game and still has room for growth, like the INT, he didn’t see Earl Thomas lurking over the middle

    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.

    I didn't see where you established an assertion needing a refutation. Please make a clear point.

    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.

  • 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. 

  • I Icecube

    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.

    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...
