Who knew such shocking information? Let's sell this secret blueprint to every football team in the country!
Didn't manning just come off of a bye week? if so he had two weeks to rest his arm,Peyton actually looked like his old self today.
Stop it. He's right. Peyton is back, Broncos are good. Pats have to beat Denver in Mile High to host the Broncos in the playoffs. They won a big game in a big way.Introspective Peyton Manning: 'I knew this was not going to be an easy transition'
"The New England Patriots have played some great games this season, and so have the Cincinnati Bengals and others, but what the Broncos did on Sunday night was the best performance in the NFL this season. They had 500 yards on offense. They allowed 140 on offense, including 50 net passing yards to a team with two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. That's unbelievable. The Packers were 6-0 coming in, everyone's NFC favorite, and the Broncos destroyed them."
Welp...THERE it is....Roger's newest mouthpiece, Yahoo, has just told all of us to forget it, may as well not even play the rest of the season. Can't wait for ScumbagSPN to double down on this "breaking" story later on today.
They televise pretty much all Denver games in Ohio, and (unfortunately) this was by far the best Peyton has looked this season.
He is bound to have a great game here or there, but as the season ends and weather gets bad, Mannings tired arm will show just like it has for the last 2 seasons.
Do you recall Manning trying to throw against the wind in Foxboro last year? Brady had no problem at all, but Manning looked inept.
I think this game just pushed Brady way ahead in the MVP race.
I was watching baseball tonight, can someone tell me how was manning touch on the ball? His stat line was good but i don't know if it was mostly yards after the catch on short/medium routes.
Yes, it is curious how radically different Manning appeared from a couple weeks ago. Hmmmm.The way he's been struggling i find it hard to believe that now his arm is back suddenly.
Kurt Warner did it back in '99.I know Brady can be the first to pull it off, but the reason I dislike is , a part of me doesnt want him to win the MVP. That ugly statistic where no player has ever won the MVP and the Super Bowl in the same year....
Collapse the pocket, contain the QB, don't let Rodgers scramble. Cause Rodgers will often look directly at the pass rush, at the expense of looking downfield.
Denver was collapsing the pocket on Rodgers but weren't getting too greedy with the pass rush; which almost always opens up lanes for Rodgers to scramble, or find a clean throwing lane, when he's pressured. For all the talk about Rodgers footwork under pressure, no one really mentions his constant tendency to look directly at the rush as opposed to keeping his eyes downfield in these situations. Granted, it's hardly ever a negative for Rodgers. But Denver was really getting the best of Rodgers on this. The coverage was there, but Rodgers wasn't even challenging it. And Rodgers will challenge just about everything when he a throwing lane or is mobile. I've heard Collinsworth try and claim that Rodgers only had time to look to his first read before the rush got there. Hmm. Well, when you see the QB setting, and re-setting his stance -- sometimes 3x or 4xs over in one play -- he's getting enough time to look; he's just getting thrown off his game because he's looking into the rush to find a clean lane and he doesn't have room to take off. Denver wasn't letting him get what he wants.
Granted, if this is a "blueprint" for stopping Rodgers (and I hate that term) well, good luck trying trying to pull it off, cause constantly collapsing the pocket is no joke. Denver's D is really tough.
BTW - This reminded me of last year's playoff game Rodgers had vs Seattle. Rodgers couldn't run well due to injury. He was constantly looking at Seattle's pass rush, trying to scramble and find an open throwing lane. He just couldn't do it. He would look at the pressure far too often, as opposed to keeping his eyes downfield. He had a weak game. Granted, it was against Seattle's D.
I know Brady can be the first to pull it off, but the reason I dislike is , a part of me doesnt want him to win the MVP. That ugly statistic where no player has ever won the MVP and the Super Bowl in the same year....
No one was open...
Also, Rodgers really missed some big plays and seemed very reluctant to throw into even semi-tight coverage.
