acmilan could tell you how it's all matchup dependent. It was clear that Eli would score +50 points against NO's horrible defense.

Tonight, Rodgers was about 1/16th of the QB he was last year.
Just wait for playoff time. Brady hasn't beat a Manning in the playoffs in 10 years.
Lost 2 AFC championship games to Peyton.
Lost 2 Super Bowls to Eli.
Peyton and Eli, using Brady as a doormat when it counts since 2006.

told you before - cherry-picking a game ot two out of a whole career is an approach without any logical footing. Why? "Sample size" is too small. Go google it and see what I mean
By the same token, Rodgers hasn't beaten Wilson or Kapernick in a meaningful game either. Or Andrew Luck ... ever, in any game.
Here is a fun fact with an ample enough sample size though - Aaron Rodgers has lost his last 9 away games when playing a team with a winning record. Last time he did that was in 2012 vs Da Bears.
P.S. The refs helped Peyton win that game in 2006 by moving the chains for him with PI and holding calls, after the Pats had taken a 21-3 lead in Indy, iirc. That was the result of a change in the rules in 2004, which turned the nFL into a pass-happy, QB-centered league. That rule change was proposed and pushed by none other than Bill Pollian, the then Colts GM and also member and chair of the rules committee of the NFL. Before siad change, Peyton could barely make it to 15 pts vs the Pats.
In 2013 the whole Pats roster, both on O and D, was literally decimated by injuries. I am not talking about one stinking WR being injured but 3-4 probowlers on D and virtually the entire passing O personnel, apart from Edelman, was wither on IR (Gronk), jail (Hernandez) or playing injured (Amendola - torn groin, Vereen - broken wrist in a cast, Dobson - rookie playing with fracture in his ankle). Even their back up TE was playing with a sprained knee as they couldn't make up the numbers.
And then Talib left the game in the 1st quarter or whatever, which proved to be the final nail in the coffin.
A perfect example why sample size matters.
In 2011 Pats had no business being in that SB, that's how poor their roster was - Gronk injured, the D was ranked 31st overal. Yet they were still a Welker or Branch catch away from quite likely winning that game.
In all fairness, Ravens should have been in that game, not the Pats. Brady was the only reason why they made it as far as they did.
In 2007 was the one game where that loss is on the Pats, fair and square. As impressive as that offense was, it was deeply flawed being one-dimensional and lacking in adaptability. The way the Pats philosophy on offense has evolved since then (involvement of 2 TE sets, passing RBs and focusing on short-passing game altogether), including this current O, is a direct result of that one single game.
Vd gets traded. I don't know what Denver expect from him. He isn't going to he Julius Thomas. He is pretty cooked IMO. Doesn't have the pace or the strength anymore. I loved the guy but we did well.
We only have one healthy running back, we re signed hayne to the practice squad. Wouldn't surprise me if we signed a FA

I smell collusion in the air, and I don't like it one bit. @Salvo and his double @Fientina were making some suspicious drops earlier today. At 2:32 Salvo decided to drop Kamar Aiken for Peyton Manning (whom he decided to drop later on again). Hmm.... Only 4 minutes later, his fuckbuddy Fientina picks him up and drops the injured Steve Smith Sr. It just seems mighty convenient that Fientina is able to pick up Steve Smith's handcuff only four minutes after his bumbuddy Salvo drops him.
I WANT ANSWERS! @Salvo @Fientina
