Mr. WEO

huh?

not this again. make it stop.

that's what I figured. #feelings

I tried to help you. Stick to what you saw", I guess. Cousins catches lots of heat. He's a solid top 10 QB on a team that has had terrible Defenses.

HC announcing that the giant TV will mess with opposing kickers isn't the best way to take advantage of hypothetical architectural/meteorological manipulation.

Link? I see 2 power polls have them at 9, one at 7. None in top 5 (like KC, Buff, Cincy, Phily).

a malcontent WR with a better % that cost them draft picks......hmmmm

it is a fact that the Seahawks D shut down the Broncos Offense in that SB. You read that part right in my posts and have successfully repeated it above. The #1 D in the league exposed the #1 Offense and QB as a playoff paper tigers (as other D's had before and after). You should have just accepted and posted that sentence in your first response and saved yourself another 10 feet into this hole you have dug for yourself. And here's a pro tip: stop presenting feelings as facts. It will lead to fewer of your unforced errors.

box already checked

This is PFT quoting a football HC as saying the scoreboard, in his opinion, could affect the wind. Naturally, PFT headlines: "Gillette Stadium's giant new video board changes wind patterns, affects kickers." right on cue, everyone bites.

call me when he plants some trees...

let me search the threads from March and April..

it's not a trump card. nor was it offered as proof that the Seattle DBs didn't play close/dirty/whatever in another SB. It was a comment to say the Broncos D sucked in the Seattle game and Manning sucked in both SBs, but they won a SB where he really sucked....without any supposed dirty play by the opposing Carolina DBs. So, to summarize, a solid Broncos D was able to compensate for a disastrous Manning performance vs the Panthers, winning a Lombardi. The D could not compensate for a bad SB performance by Manning vs Seattle. Put another way, 2 bad SB showings by Manning. The difference was the Broncos Defense, not Seattle's Defense (which as you are keen to point out, did not play in SB 50). This is Manning's MO in SB's. He's, to put it kindly, clutch. In 4 SBs, he has thrown 3 TDs total, and 5 INTS. But yeah, it must have been the Seahawks DBs in that one SB that wrecked Manning's otherwise typically solid SB play over a career. Does that more the point more clear? I know there are more stats for you to dismiss in place of what you "saw", but I can't describe it in a simpler way. Own your lazy take and move on.

SoFi is not an indoor/enclosed stadium. It has a canopy. It is open on the sides.

this was a hot take a week ago

this is too easy

mall the stats I listed but one were from the SB in question. the obvious point is that Mannings performance in the SB in question wasn’t solely due to DBs mugging his receivers on every play. I’ve made it explicitly a few times now.

So pretty much all stats are "utterly meaningless".....except that you "saw" receivers getting mugged on every play. Manning did toss a TD pass to Knowshon Moreno though.... I was talking about any receiver.

he was 1st team All Pro last season. That’s national recognition

Not 80% no. Most past plays are to a receiver not within grasping distance of a DB

Because he kept turning the ball over. I thought you watched the game. Manning won a SB with Broncos with 13 passes completed

Burning bridges with who? Nate Hackett? He's a bum. At least Payton has the nuts to say what really was going on there. It's what most football fans could plainly see.

Manning completed 69% of 43 passes. The problem was he turned the ball over 3 times leading to 3 scores.

grabbing a jersey should be a called hold 10/10 times.

Getting signed and cut over and over again isn't a strong argument. The only team that played hardly ever did and now they have cut him a second time. The film and analytics--at least of the Bills organization, who know him better than anyone---led them to conclude he's not worthy of even a camp spot. They cut him again. My conclusion is easy to arrive at. Yours is simply a feeling you have. Why make this something it's not? Good for this kid, he keeps getting a few checks.
