Louis Blues are reportedly taking restricted free agent forward Vladimir Sobotka to arbitration.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady tries not to get too high when things are going well or too low when theyre not.Good thing, considering how poorly the season has gone for him and the New England Patriots offence.The winner of two MVP awards in both the regular season and the Super Bowl is ranked 27th in completion percentage, 29th in passer rating and 33rd in the 32-team NFL in average gain per attempt.Now, coming off the second most lopsided loss in his 15 NFL seasons, hell face the team that has allowed the fewest points per game (11) this season, the unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday night.Its important not to ride the wave of emotion of, Yeah, were really great, and, Yeah, were terrible this week, Brady said Wednesday. It doesnt serve any purpose other than to understand the things that you need to correct.There are plenty of those.The offensive line has struggled with frequent personnel changes. Only one wide receiver has more than 10 catches.In the last 14 quarters, Brady has led the offence to just 46 points. Backup Jimmy Garoppolo produced seven more when the rookie replaced Brady with just over 10 minutes left in Monday nights 41-14 rout by the Kansas City Chiefs.Since, then Brady has been criticized by television analysts.He said hes not listening as he prepares for the Bengals (3-0).I probably dont pay attention too much because I understand whats going on, Brady said. I know probably a lot more information than you guys have, a lot more information than they have, and were just trying to focus on the things we can to do to get better.But is he past his prime?Im trying to do the best job I can do, he said.The Patriots (2-2) have little depth at any offensive position and the usually positive Brady was restrained in assessing the team.Does he have the talent around him and blocking protection to succeed?Well see, he said.Does the team have the intestinal fortitude to fight through its current adversity?Well see, he said.Still, he said: I trust all the guys in the llocker room.ddddddddddddCoach Bill Belichick was even more repetitive.How difficult is it to recover from Mondays loss? What about Bradys age? How about having a 37-year-old quarterback?Were on to Cincinnati, he said in answering each question.Right now, he added, were preparing for Cincinnati.The Patriots hope that single-minded focus will get their offence rolling and restore the solid defence they played in their two games before the loss to the Chiefs.Its not the time to tense up and call it a season, Brady said. Were tied for the best record in our division, not that that is a great feat by any stretch. But well see what were made of as we continue to fight through these tough weeks, and, hopefully, it builds character and builds resiliency.A loss would leave the Patriots at 2-3 for the first time since 2001. They won the Super Bowl that season.That poor start didnt generate such hand-wringing because expectations were low after a 5-11 record in 2000. But in the last 11 full regular seasons, theyre 138-38.Like (Belichick) always says, ignore the noise and just stay focused on what we need to do, stay focused on what our process is to try to make the improvement, Brady said. Weve got an important job to do this week and the clock is ticking.Brady hasnt thrown for more than 249 yards this season after averaging 271.4 last season. Against the Chiefs, he completed 14 of 23 passes for 159 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and two sacks.Safety Devin McCourty isnt surprised by the criticism of his quarterback.I think we all understand its all about what people think youve done lately, he said. Were not worried about Tom. Hes a guy whos a leader of this team.So far hes led the team to a sputtering start.I can definitely do a better job (but) its not an individual sport, Brady said. This isnt like hitting home runs or playing golf and not making par. Were all trying to do a better job.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Blackhawks Jerseys Store Cheap Wild Jerseys Cheap Red Wings Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Penguins Jerseys Store Capitals Jerseys For Sale Blues Jerseys Store Cheap Kings Jerseys Adidas Lightning Jerseys Stars Jerseys For Sale Cheap Predators Jerseys Ducks Store Sharks Jerseys For Sale Cheap Sabres Jerseys Rangers Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
