I'm just glad the Packers lost…

enjoyed a day at the superdome with my girl. Who DAT got a badass defense ?Joshjames
-
I didn't like the Ryan hire. Boy was I wrong. Saints with a D is just scary to think about. WD!

Chiefs vs Denver- Man this bad been a shoot out. I'm expecting to see one of these two teams in the Super Bowl.

How you feeling about Seattle Monday? I'm a little nervous. That would be a HUGE statement win for the Saints.

Dude that one and Carolina twice. We have a tough and physical end of the season.

I really wanted the Bucs to pull the upset today.

Broncos all the way! I can feel Super Bowl coming!

The biggest liability of the Donks is their biggest strength: Peyton Manning, who, let's face it, doesn't play well in big games.
-
We're still the highest scoring team even if we loose. And that speaks volumes compared to everyone else. People said the same thing about John Elway and he won two Super Bowls 2 years in a row.

True, but Harrisson, Wayne, Stokely, Clark, etc… in 2004 wasn't too shabby either:

I like him and hope he can win more championships. But there's usually a precipitous drop in his total QBR come the postseason. Same pattern many years. Lead the league, or be among the league leaders in efficiency during the regular season, and then be a completely different player in the postseason.
Last year, he led the league in Total QBR (82.4) and in the postseason this dropped like a stone to 56.4, good enough for 8th place out of 12 QBs.
Elway isn't a good comparison because his postseason numbers were usually pretty good, win or lose. He has a handful of poor performances (and not all of those were losses) and a bunch of good performances, better than his regular season numbers (and not all of those wins).
We saw it this year. When the Indy game was made into a big game by the owner's ridiculous comments, he laid an egg against a team they should have blown off the field, in a venue he knows very well. He also didn't have a great game against Brady, though he had some shining moments in that one.

I'll give you Marvin and Edge but the other guys were and are fringe players without Peyton
Thomas, Thomas, Welker, Decker, Moreno, Ball(coming on) are all more talented than anyone not named Marvin or James

Probably true, though the fact that Peyton elevates the play of his receivers makes it difficult to assess HOW true that is. Peyton also hasn't had an o-line like this since 2005.
