Manning threw a pass that was almost end over end

Atleast half of the drops yesterday were terrible throws

Will be interesting to see BB's game plan. He also thinks a lot about the manning factor in the past games. Does he treat him as before or try and shut down the run with extra people in the box.?

In my Madden 16 franchise as the Pats, I finished the season 13-3 with the #1 seed. Next game is against Denver, who also finished 13-3, in the AFCCG (at Gillette however). Pretty funny how it just happened to turn out this way. I will let everyone know the winner since this game can predict the future.

Also, the game had Peyton Manning winning the NFL MVP award.

It's got to be the latter, or at the very least a mixture leaning towards some 3 safety looks with Chung in the box, towards the LOS to help the run support.

I think the run game needs to be stopped nicely for us to win this game. Manning has become a game manager, and he's not capable of making the same throws, but he is capable of winning a football game by checking to the right calls, taking advantage of the run game, and allowing a strong defense to keep the game close/ahead for him.

If the Donks fall behind by 2 TDs, I expect Osweiller to be brought in.

If we happened to open up a significant lead then it would be the Donks best move to bring in Osweiler. He is more capable of some home run plays to score urgently.

Osweiller has a gimpy knee. Who knows if he would be ready to go. I think they live or die with Manning.

Osweiller buckles under pressure.

They would never bench manning in possibly the last game pf his career...after kubiac put manning in against san diego they hitched their wagon to him...for better or worse

We need to come out on fire. Shut that crowd up. The steelers had plenty of changes to build a lead and they let the donkeys hang around.

Can Manning throw deep in-cuts or go down the seam at all anymore? Those used to be a huge part of his game and it seems like he has no faith in his ability to fit the ball between a corner and a safety beyond 15 yards anymore. It looks to me like his game has been relegated to throws outside the hashes where he can use the sideline for protection, and short passes off pick plays. Bill should be able to come up with a good game plan to take him out of his comfort zone, if he even has one anymore.

I assume you're right because I have no idea, but he played well against the Pats when it counted in our game with them this year.

NE needs to clog the middle and make Manning throw outside. Don't give him easy completions. Easier said than done, of course.

the good thing about this game is that the Pats offense does not have to score each possession..because Den won't. This takes a lot of pressure off.
