Yes, but they won in spite of Manning. Not because of him. He was not good. And it wasn't one of those scenarios where he was still better than everyone else. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of talk about maybe letting Brock Osweiler take the reins for the playoffs. Manning suffered a foot injury, and almost lost his job permanently because Osweiler came in and played better than he had before the injury. It was his worst year statistically since his rookie season.

See: Rex Ryan

Why is this a thread? He's the best in the game. So... yes.

A wild card will be a lot more difficult to obtain out of the AFCE next year. Good thing we'll just be winning the AFCE outright.

Get. Some. Suck on it Brady.

I'd be curious to know what the rule on that states. I hate how a returner just waving his arms constitutes a dead ball. Make the returner field the damn ball.

At least the day is starting (Sabres win) and ending (about to hopefully be a Cheats loss) well. Too bad the meat of the sandwich absolutely sucked.

Could he have done more? sure. Did he produce more in this one opportunity than Foster did essentially all year? Absolutely.

Irony...

Scoring field goals instead of touchdowns. period.

Honestly, despite the sack, I feel like Ford has played pretty well. It was halfway through the third quarter before the three-time DPOY made any bit of an impact on the game.

Agreed. Houston's offense hasn't shown they can score at all so I'll take three.

Totally dominating this game

I have hated the way for a couple years now that the returner just has to wave his arms and that means it's a dead ball? They need to do away with that crap. Make the returner actually play the ball

let's go here! Tre has held Hopkins to a whole zero catches so far!

Haha, yeah... something like that. Like I said, I'm just an airplane geek. And Charlotte Douglas International has a little overlook area where you can sit and watch planes take off and land, and my son loves to go over there and hang out for a little while. So I actually was looking to see if they were flying to Charlotte or to GSP. Figured if they were coming to CLT, we'd go over there and see if we could see them come in. But it was pretty cool... two years ago, after winning in Miami in week 17 and going to the playoffs, I was able to step out on my back patio and watch the team's plane fly over my house at 35,000 feet, headed back to Buffalo.

During the preseason, when the Bills were flying to Spartanburg, I knew what day they were traveling, so I just pulled up outbound flights out of Buffalo-Niagara. There was only one flight going to GSP (UA2532), and the same flight number had a return trip from CLT to BUF scheduled for Friday night after the Bills-Panthers game. I was able to put 2 and 2 together. And they use the same flight number every week. I actually pulled it up yesterday when I saw the Bills' facebook post of the team getting on the plane - same flight number, from Buffalo to Houston. It was over Pittsburgh at the time.

Flight number is UA2532. Easily trackable with any radar tracking app. I'm an airplane geek, so I have flightradar24 on my phone. Can do it on the computer too.

Just sent you a PM

I'm honestly not convinced that we'll get the respect if we do win a Super Bowl. And I'm okay with that.

Love to see Josh make his mark. If Josh's deep ball accuracy is like it was in Foxborough a couple weeks ago, we'll win this thing going away.... Because Smoke is going to get behind their defense repeatedly. Josh just has to connect.

I'd just look at the teams we played at home vs. the teams we played away. We played better teams at home. You're right, way too small of a sample size.

Honestly, for a time, Moorman was our best player. Shows how bad we were there for a while.

That got me PUMPED

It just happens to be my one Saturday a month to work.... but we close at 3:30 so shouldn't be a big deal. More annoyed that I wont have time to cook wings!
