I believe the Bronco's lost as a team overall, but the dagger in the heart came from Peyton who made what I consider a rookie mistake. Someone on the coaching staff made a huge fuck up in the last 30 seconds of the 4th so every way you look at it they lost as a team. Manning is just the icing on the cake of fuck up.
Yes, the pick in OT was a terrible decision, not unlike Farve's throw with Minnesota against the Saints...but also like that game, the team around him could have done so many things better and it never would have gotten to that point. It is what it is.
Was curious so I looked up The Ben since he's not on your list despite 2 rings and 3 appearances and a 10-4 record. He takes the same ~7 point drop as Peyton and Brady, down to an 84ish. Probably a little better if you take off his rubbish rookie performance, but it happened.
Sorry only listed those 3 just cause they all had similar ratings. I don't think anyone should be surprised QB's rating take a little dip in the playoffs, although it is interesting it's so consistent for so many of them. I'm not sure that list is accurate through this year, although Peyton had an 88.3 against the Ravens so it wasn't going to move at all either way.
Spreads are never about straight up points, and always about a tease. No bookmaker is going to let the Pats be teased down to below a FG at home.
The amount of money wagered each week on the NFL is predominantly made of bets against the spread, the moneyline, and the Over/Under. The amount bet on these types of wagers dwarf the amount wagered on teasers and parlays and other types of bets. Most lay people think that the purpose of the point spread by the bookmakers is to try to get the same amount wagered on both teams. This is not always true, even though it happens frequently. The bookmakers are fine putting a point spread down in certain situations where one team gets significantly more action than the other if they have analyzed the game enough to be comfortable taking that risk after taking their vig into account.
Doubt it. Kaeperbro already beat Tommy at Gillette. The Patriots dont have the speed on defense to spy Keapernick or consistently stop the pistol. People were laughing about Colin running the pistol but now he has suddenly risen to the top tier of the league at the position, predominantly using the pistol.
you and the rest of Cali are so fucking premature on this shit it's not even funny. He hasn't even played a full season and you're ready to call him elite, or in the top tier?
Most legit fans tend to be pretty level-headed right now. They're aware of how young Kaep is and how there just isn't enough footage on him for teams to properly prepare against him. Not a whole lot of Cathan-level asstardery. However, that panda hat fan base is frothing at the mouth taking the "QUEST FOR SIX" very seriously. One friend of such category was arguing with me that the 49ers already made Super Bowl and I told him they had to win this week first. I was insulted when he googled it to see if I was correct.
Yeah, that's why I'm already sick and tired of all the "hype" surrounding the kid. Don't get me wrong, I think he has an extremely high ceiling, potentially, but you just never know. Once defenses get more exposure to the guy, our mediocre(Crabtree is stepping up pretty big this year) receiving core is going to rear its ugly head. He's horrible at throwing on the run, which is why the Lambs fared so well against him. They have a good enough D-line to consistently force him to move and throw on the run, which he can't really do. He also needs to learn to take some of the fucking heat off of the ball once in a while. It rarely needs to be rocketed into the flat.
