Collins and Hightower will be key in this one. Denver thrives on stretch runs and Collins especially has the speed and athleticism to stop that and make them a one dimensional passing team. Funny to say, but I think the key is to take away the run and force Manning to throw. Continue to look...

Hate him for all of the above reasons, but more for the excuses every analyst makes for him. Phil Simms kept pointing out how much his receivers were letting him down with the drops. Except he never mentioned how Peyton's passes were fluttering. Try catching a knuckleball pitcher some time...

Interesting pairing with Kaep/Kelly. Roman took an interest in the pistol and Kaep was drafted from a small-ish college for that offense. When Roman left for the Bills, Kaep's offense left, too. I would guess that Kelly and Kaep will be a great match. Kaep makes it awful tough to like...

One of the best ways to treat concussions--cannabis. Many football players use for pain management and concussions.

I really miss some of the older posters here who added insightful comments about matchups rather than "we always lose in Denver." Why did we usually beat Pittsburg? It's not because they were bad or stupid or anything else. It's because their DC was **** LeBeau who introduced the zone blitz to...

LaFell runs a lot of vertical routes and we need a receiver to do that in order to stretch the opposing D and create space for other receivers. How often has Brady had a chance to drop without pressure? Those routes are intricately timed. In order to hit a deep throw, Brady would need 5 or 7...

Absolutely had to try to run. It was not a stacked box--most of our runs were against a nickel. If we're going anywhere in the playoffs we have to be able to run against a light box. What was more concerning was that we couldn't.

Really hope we establish a solid run game. One of the problems for Gronk right now is opposing defenses can bring a CB/S to cover him because they're not worried about us running. Our run isn't effective against even a light box. If our Oline can establish any kind of run blocking and Jackson...

OLine play seems to be a serious problem. Much of our passing game is predicated upon play action and the Eagles showed no respect for our run. There is NO push by our OL, even when we bring in extra linemen. The problem is not our RBs, but the holes--there are none to run in, and safeties...

I've been wondering about something. We have the GOAT QB and HC. Despite turtling during the league investigations, our ownership has generally been outstanding. In order to have this kind of sustained success, you need all three. Of the three, which one is the most important? The 49ers...

Agree. It also looked like the coaching staff trusts Freeney much more in coverage.

Great analysis--I read their articles often. Chung is really interesting, I wonder what clicked for him this time around? The coaches can spin it as using him the right way in his second stop here, but I don't think he makes that play in his first stop. Maturity? Better understanding of the...

Miami used a lot of misdirection to destroy two NFL defenses in consecutive weeks. They obviously thought it would work against our D, but it went nowhere. Plan B was Tannehill throwing downfield, which was the game plan that helped get their HC fired. They were terrible when Tannehill threw...

The more tidbits that leak out of the Patriot's organization about the way they treat athletes just confirms how cutting edge they are. Cycling Team Sky consults a sleep specialist and they're currently the best. The San Antonio Spurs' trainers were light years ahead of other NBA teams...

Anybody have insight on why Martin was inactive? Looks like they must have liked bigger receivers in this game. Curious, I thought he had been playing pretty well and was ahead of Dobson.

Agree here, especially on first down. Dare Fitz to throw early the the series. Hightower's health is a big factor, Mayo has really been struggling to shed blocks and fill against the run.

It would be interesting to have a comparison to Revis/Sherman as rookies. He didn't play a lot last year. He makes some great plays but needs a little more experience, sometimes bites on a move that a veteran has seen in games and on film. He does seem to adjust well and doesn't hang his head...

Excited to see how we match them. Nickel with safety playing up in run support? Heavy front? Will we play a lot of zone in run support or go man? Can't imagine we'll play nickel with both safeties deep. On O I'd imagine we'll give a lot of help to the O line. RBs chipping, TEs staying in...

Colts did a pretty good job of run blocking, but the LBs filled poorly. Didn't see too many DL errors, they were staying square and occupying space pretty well. But wow, did our LBs, especially Mayo, have trouble getting off blocks and filling. D played a lot with the safeties back in nickel...

Lots of details sounds crazy to people unless they're actively involved. For example, a huge percentage of hamstring strains/pulls originate in the ankle with displacement of the talus. But most trainers would suggest icing and stretching the hamstring. The correct treatment is a chiropractic...
