Brees I don't know. Haven't watched them yet.

Luck played against the Bills defense and the Jets defense. Next week at Tennessee is his get right game.

Peyton is fine, he needs to be able to step into his throws because he generates most of his arm strength from his legs.

I know what you mean, but I found this humorous.

I'm sure Peyton Manning, who has spent the past ~20 years studying the game, and became probably the best QB ever, just forgot how to use his legs in a game.

I think what Geo is saying is that Manning's line didn't give him enough of a pocket from under center to step into his throws. Lining up more in the shotgun helps with that.

Correct. Plus lining up in shotgun provides him better opportunity to use his best and most relied upon assets, his ability to read defenses and quickly getting rid of the ball.

Look at Coughlin's postgame comments about Eli and Pagano's postgame comments about Luck. The mark of a coach who knows he's on his way out is putting blame on his franchise quarterback. Even if it's true, you don't do it or dance around it. The QBs already have enough to deal with.

I agree in general, but when a QB takes it upon himself to tell a RB not to score in the four minute drill, that might be grounds for being called out the following week.

Lol, John Harbaugh's whined and bitched last year about the Pats running a trick play to the point that the NFL changed the rules to please him, and he goes and runs the EXACT same play against the Raiders last Sunday. The only difference is that they sent out 5 linemen and 5 receivers and didn't have to declare anyone ineligible.

The difference? When Belichick used it, the Pats won and went on to the SB. When Harbaugh used it, the Ravens lost to the Raiders.

Fuck you, Harbaugh.

Fuck all trick plays. Line up and prove you're the better team.

I hear when the players introduce themselves and say what college they went to, the refs pick the team that will win

Flacco's from Delaware? bullshit, Raiders got this one, even if their own QB went to Fresno State
