His selfish play kept the Colts from winning. His selfish ego made football too much about stats and too little about winning. I enjoy football, not fantasy football.
-
Oh dear lord that would be hilarious. A circus QB for a circus organization.
You could call it a butt fumble.
-
cant happen King...who (from the NFC South) is going to Seattle or Green bay and beating them?
Think that would stretch the whole "any given Sunday" saw.
-
Ryan should never judge QB talent. His tattoo is proof of that. DC job is his ceiling. Not HC or certainly not GM.
-
Exactly right.
My gut feeling is all three - Idzik, Ryan, and Geno - are gone after this year.
Keep them together, in NY.

Tebow was never given the extended opportunity the others had. Even though he had some success.
-
It was too bad that both teams couldn't lose this game. I hope someone else (Packers?) wins the NFC.
-
Surprising game. Really thought Dallas would have put up more of a fight.
I was surprised to have Thanksgiving, Mark Sanchez and no butt fumble. Was that the same Mark Sanchez who played for Rex Ryan and the Jets?
-
The NY papers think RG is the answer. But they wouldn't give more than a 7th round pick in a trade.

One common element. The spastic gesticulator with the jumbo gourd.

In nfl or arena league?
Good one!
-
Could be the best game of the year. I doubt it will be a blowout like many other hyped games.
-
As long as it's not the Colts, I hope both start for another franchise.
-
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
-
I think it is a combo of personnel and coaching. Will need to take a serious look at both this off-season.
Definitely in favor of all "looks" to be serious. The offensive line is no place to be careless.

The only statistic that matters is winning.
Many of Manning's stats are empty. He's had many opportunities but does not find a way to win the big games. He is always running up empty stats in garbage time or against bad teams. George Steinbrenner once referred to Dave Winfield as "Mr. May" to contrast him with Reggie Jackson, "Mr. October". Manning is the "Mr. October" of football. Manning is 11 wins, 12 losses in the postseason. Manning has 8 one-and-dones in the postseason in the 13 times his team has made the playoffs. ONE game-winning drive in the playoffs. ONE comeback win in the playoffs.
Can't compare to Johnny Unitas, 6-2 playoff record, including comeback wins in 1959 and 1958. Or Joe Montana, 16 playoff wins, 7 losses. 5 comeback victories in the playoffs. 5 game-winning drives in the playoffs. Or Bart Starr, 9-1 in the playoffs. Roger Staubach, playoff record 11-6. Troy Aikman, 11-4 in the playoffs. The much-ridiculed Terry Bradshaw, 14-5 in the playoffs, with 4 game-winning drives. All these guys are in the HOF. Why does "TGOAT" compare so poorly with these players?
The stats of today are the product of the NFL's tinkering with the officiating and favoring high-octane offense. Manning, Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Rivers etc - all are putting up stats that have never been seen before. The National Fantasy Football League is in full swing today.

Favre won 1 Super Bowl. I don't think that equates to "all those".
Every QB who wins a SB is not among the greatest.
By the way, check out Favre's stats, and note that his highest QB rating came in 2009. 107.9, well above his career average of rooughly 85%. Another indication that the gaudy stats being comiled by every QB today are dilued when compared against days of yore.
-
I'm only speaking of on field, And every qb does. Doesn't mean they weren't great. Which Favre was, and I don't think there is anyone out there who's in the know, would say otherwise.
I personally find Favre overrated. Great physical skills, but mental errors that overcame those skills in too many crucial situations.
Packers fans used to find it astounding that fans of other teams did not consider Favre TGOAT. It was just an accepted fact. Well now he's not even the greatest Packer QB of all time. He's certainly not on my list of top 10 all time QBs.
-
Rex will probably keep his job to assure they get the first pick, but he is finished after this season.
I hope he stays as Jets HC. I would hate to see a rival hire him as DC.
-
The league is reviewing the player's antics and may take action.
-
So does the squirrel running around my back yard.
That squirrel might do better than Chuck Pagano!
-
As long as we're being ridiculous here, why not Amari Cooper?
-
We need to get New England's o-line coach lol.
Do you mean the coach who retired after 2013 season or the guy who has coached 11 games?
The Colts need someone to draft and develop players. Obviously, the Patriots had such a guy and his replacement did pretty well after trading away their most high-profile lineman. I'm not sure who is really behind the success of the o-line with the Patriots, but the fact that Scarnechia retired and his replacement was able to mold a disaster through 4 games into a cohesive unit would seem to indicate it is more than one person. Or maybe it is one person - Belichick.
Don't look now, but Geno Smith has "reclaimed" the starting QB position.

His defensive secondary stinks. The defense overall gives up a lot of points. Not many interceptions made. Could be personnel, but he's been there long enough to make this his team.
