Is that true? How is that possible? Do they just play so deep that they don't have to risk it? That's a mind-blowing stat.

emoney_33

it is crazy, but they have allowed a little over 66% completion rate to opposing qb's

Well, when your coach and your GM are both co-chairs of the sub-committees in the Competition Committee, which works closely on a daily basis with the Director of Officiating, which deals with the actual officiating teams, well, how could you expect anything less?

Na_polian

Dammit, I was working on a really cool conspiracy idea, and you went and ruined it with your blasted facts!

PATSNUTme

The rules are clear: If you knock down, grab, facegaurd, hold, or otherwise interfere with the recievers right to catch the ball, it's pass interference if you don't have a horseshoe on your helmet.

emoney_33

so when we play the colts, can we put manning's face with a horseshoe around his neck on our helmets?

AndyJohnson

To me that is actually more a statement of their poor cover skills that an advantage in refereeing.

A good DB will get pi calls. They all get beaten. If you arent close, you cannot interfere.

It also says they are not at all phyical in pass defense.

This will be exploited in the playoffs.

All the talk about the Colt O on turf ignores the fact that they have to cover people on that stuff too.

emoney_33

If they didn't have a good pass rush, let's say they had as poor as the pats did early in the year, their secondary would have performed worse than ours.

Zero?

It doesn't seem possible.
