Thanks, that is helpful. I'm still a little unclear what this means though. I've seen Russell Wilson get credit for a 4th quarter comeback drive that happened at like 13:00 minutes left in the game, where his defense didn't allow any more points after that. Can you give me a link so I can...

Let's look at this on a more macro level. In four of those losses, Green Bay's defense allowed: 51 points 44 points 41 points 37 points Did you know that in Brady's entire 34-game playoff career, the defense has allowed 37 or more points one time (to the Colts, in 2006)? In fact, in Brady's...

Okay, a few points here: - first of all, you're using a counting stat as a point of comparison. Brady has 274 career games started, Rodgers has 165 career games played. This is a silly comparison. Now, on the other hand, clearly on a per-game basis Brady is obviously much better. - second, I...

And yet earlier in the thread I compared numbers from 2009 forward, when both quarterbacks were playing under the same rules and played in nearly an identical number of games. Rodgers compared favorably.

Playoff career: Rodgers: 17 games, 36 TD, 10 interceptions, 99.4 passer rating Brady: 34 games, 63 TD, 31 INT, 89.0 passer rating The narrative that Rodgers doesn't show up in big games is inaccurate. By the way, you know who also has an amazing win-loss record and has a stellar playoff...

Since the beginning of 2009, Aaron Rodgers has 281 TD, 61 INT, and a 105.8 passer rating to along with 21 rushing TD. In that same time frame Brady has 272 TD, 68 INT, and a 100.9 passer rating and 12 rushing TD. Is it really such a travesty to entertain the idea that Rodgers might be slightly...

Very well said. I sincerely doubt we'd see these spirited and passionate defenses of the call on the field if the Jets were the beneficiary here.

Maybe not, but trading for Bowman (requires assets) and taking on his contract is a far cry from signing him to a pedestrian salary on the open market. It is kind of apples and oranges.

So, this call kind of bothered me on two levels. For one, I really don't like the rule of a "fumble through the endzone is a touchback and possession is awarded to the other team". I feel like that's an extreme rule. The counter-argument I always hear is, "well, if this rule didn't exist...

Okay, thanks. I am also annoyed by them removing the ability to select stream quality. I get a lot of stuttering too as it switches between the varying quality streams.

I'm a little confused by this. What do you mean the "HTML5" version? HTML5 is such a buzzword that it really doesn't mean anything in particular. When you say HTML5, are you saying the video player is HTML5-based? I definitely see the rebranded layout this year (responsive design, etc), but the...

Clowney on IR? Is there a joke I'm missing?

LMAO, awesome GIF.

Yeah, I'd like to see a more granular breakdown. What about like... a QB drops back to pass, takes off running. There's a defensive holding call on the play. Would that constitute as a defensive holding on a run, or on a pass? Seems like there's some ambiguous plays that can't really be...

I can't believe Allen doesn't have a single catch on the year. I really wanted to keep Bennett, but I thought Allen was a nice consolation prize.

I haven't really heard anything reported, but my guess the refs were told to be more cognizant of it. I mean, with how hyper-conscious the league is becoming with player safety after all of these CTE controversies, it makes sense that they would be more mindful of contact to a player's head/neck...

I agree with everything you said here. The only thing about the Gilmore call though is that like -- like all penalties -- it was called in real time. It's not hard to envision how in realtime it probably looked a lot worse than it was really was. It did look "ticky tacky", but ticky tacky with...

It is clear as day that all Kelce is saying is that this is a matchup of a strong defense and a strong offense. Unless you are borderline deranged, there is zero justification to interpret this as an insult.

Wow, the part about Belichick is 'stealing' players from 'new' coaches was a really cool perspective that I hadn't thought about. Basically, Rex Ryan said this (paraphrasing), "what Bill Parcells told me is that when a new coaching regime comes in, you've got an opportunity to 'steal' players...

I love the trade. I have not been high on Brissett at all, I have been very vocal about this in the past. Many people were irrationally excited about him after the Texans game, in which he had one of the most pedestrian, forgettable stat lines you'll ever see out of a victorious quarterback. He...
