N.E.'s defense is gassed right now. They've been on the field a lot. Encroachments, soft against the run. They're on the ropes. Can Golden Boy put a long drive together? They sure do need it.
Was Dan Marino overrated? He never won the big one. And other than the pick 6 Peyton has played pretty well so far, he has a 64% completion percentage, 1 pass TD, 1 rush TD, and 240 yards. This is by far his best playoff game against the patriots.
i don't remember seeing him play too much but if he consistently had 2 tds and 6 ints, then yeah, he was... it's not this season, it just seems like every year around this time, it's a similar stat line with peyton. you can only blame the defense for so long... had the defense played poorly the 1st two playoff games, the colts would already be home.
All those records and he never won the big one, he must be overrated according to a lot of peoples logic. And counting this playoffs, Peyton currently has 16 tds, and 13 ints in 390 attempts. Which is 30 attempts per interception, he's really not as bad in the playoffs as you make him out to be. In his 6 losses he has thrown 3 TDs and 7 ints, which sounds bad but is really only 1 interception a game and 4 of them came against New England in 2004. Now in his 5 wins he has thrown 6 ints and 13 tds. He also throws for 263 yards a playoff game. Which leads me to say he isn't as bad in the playoffs as he is made out to be, he just sucks against the patriots.
the last few playoff losses have been 21-18 20-3 24-14 and 41-0 that's not more than 20 pts in any of the 4 games. it can only be the defense's fault for so long.
how come when i use stats to compare Aaron Brooks to the rest of the NFL, you all said he was a loser, and stats didn't mean ****, if you're not a leader, but with Marino it's different?
chance to go for the throat, and he falls down on 1 play, then throws a lame duck on the next... as gomer would say: SURPRISE, SURPRISE.
How in the hell do you not run the ball down the Pats throats on that drive? Manning is not the greatest OC on the field which is what most claim he is. Keep it simple, stupid.
