NFL Playoff Thread

Too funny . . . because we all know what happened to HIM.

 

He can throw the ball. And late-game, at high-tempo, under pressure, he was performing.

 

Oh my do I hate agreeing with Berman, but it's tough to top the back-to-back doubleheaders. The NFC title game is a classic much of the time, but as far as I can tell, this is the first time since 1988 both games went down to the last second. Of course, the divisional playoffs could have just as many duds and for whatever reason I'm more fond of that round b/c of the extra games.

 

That book's already out. Gingrich wrote it.

 

Their favorite commericial:

 

The only notch below that is relying on a kicker to bail you out.

 

... says the bitter Cowboys fan. ;D

 

Eli's playoff passer rating is 89.4 with 13 TDs and 7 INTs in 9 games.

Peyton's playoff passer rating is 88.4 with 29 TDs and 19 INTs in 19 games.

Each will have two Super Bowl appearances on their resumes.

Eerily similar, yet one is a "good" playoff QB, and the other is a "disappointing" one.

 

Aside from the fact that one is being scaled against his own status as possibly the greatest quarterback in the history of football, there is the matter that Peyton has lost four playoff home games. And in his case those stats tell a particularly paltry story -- look at the Pittsburgh game in Jan '06 and he shows up with a 90.9 rating and a touchdown, but anyone who saw that game knows how fitful and jittery that offense was the whole time.

He also had the biggest play in the Super Bowl when he threw the pick-six to the Saints.

 

Ahem.

2011-12 Fumbles
Ted Ginn Jr. 0
Kyle Williams 2

 

One thing that was obvious yesterday - Ray Lewis is no longer effective in pass coverage.

It seemed like time and time again The Pats ran the waggle with TE or slot crossing into Lewis's drop area. There was one sequence that they ran it 3 times in a row with different receivers each time.

 

I thought of you, bigpern. I did. You fucker.

Always easy to say in hindsight but Kyle Williams should have been out there with instructions to fair catch and fair catch only. Even before his misadventures he had one punt that he actually made a diving catch on -- WTF?
