Re: Championship Sunday
Man, brady had tunnel vision for gronk there. 2 other guys were openish.
Their o-line got absolutely mauled.
Happy for Manning and I'd be ok seeing him win it all...and they might with this defense~

Re: Championship Sunday
Teddy played better than Brady did against Denver with an equally terrible offensive line.

Re: Championship Sunday
Great game, maybe the last Peyton Vs Brady we will ever see.

Re: Championship Sunday
Wow what a battle! Denver's defense is just on a whole different level.

Re: Championship Sunday
I have never seen an offensive line play as poorly as the Pat's. Encouraging to know that the Vikes can and will compete with any team out there. With a good draft, a few good trades, a new stadium the sky is the limit

I had the same thought: we played AZ and DEN VERY tight on the road this year. They could end up playing for the SB (though I don't think AZ will win tonight).
We're getting close!

And we were the last team to beat the Panthers in the regular season before Atlanta beat the in week 16!Texas Vike wrote:

Re: Championship Sunday
Interesting thing to note in the first game that in spite of how bad the Pats o-line got beat, the critical difference in the game was a missed PAT

Re: Championship Sunday
This was the 1st time in Tom Brady's career that he completed less than half of his passes and threw multiple INT in a game

Shouldn't have kicked from the left hash though!dead_poet wrote: Pats voted for the PAT to be moved back...

Interesting that after that there's a comment by Walsh!Place-kickers themselves face one relatively significant decision: Where to place the ball for extra points. As always, they'll have the choice between either hashmark or the middle of the field. A Pro Football Focus offseason study revealed that conversion rates on field goals from 30-35 yards over the past two seasons went this way:
Left: 91.6 percent
Center: 97.6 percent
Right: 93.8 percent
Wonder what his personal rate is left/center/rightNot all place-kickers prefer the middle, however, despite those percentages. The Vikings' Blair Walsh said it's easier for some to use the hash because it provides a fool-proof line for the long-snapper and holder to set up.
"If you're in the middle of the field, there's no line for the holder to put the ball down," Walsh said. "So that's the way we're looking at it."

Re: Championship Sunday
Difference in Carolina game? Newton's O-line. No pressure. Easy throws.

Re: Championship Sunday
I was just thinking that. Carolina is an example of what a mediocre QB with mediocre offensive weapons can do with a brick wall in front of him.dead_poet wrote:Difference in Carolina game? Newton's O-line. No pressure. Easy throws.
