NFL Postseason Megathread: Playoffs in the Post-Orton Era

My problem isn't so much that they threw it, it's that they threw it over the middle.  You want to throw a fade to the corner in that situation, so either your guy catches it, or it's incomplete.

You would think that something like a roll out to the right would cater to his strengths, and even offer him the option to run it in, rather than a zip slant in--with a pick, no less, because why not add another element of What Could Go Wrong--when he's not exactly known for his Marino-like quick strike accuracy.

You know, the St. Louis Rams made that same mistake this season, trying to throw a pass on the one yard line.  Of course they are one of the worst teams in the NFL.

There were 109 passes from the one yard line this season. The only pass intercepted was the one caught by Butler.

Aww, loved the #likeagirl commercial. Too bad the derspiess household was channel surfing at the time.

I kept my mouth shut during the commercial, but my son & nephew chimed in at the end with a witty retort.

Only good commercial was the Mountain Dew Kickstart-- the dancing dog still has me laughing.

And the Budweiser commercial was a de facto declaration of war against craft beer, which is ironic since they're buying up craft breweries as fast as they can.

The fade takes more time and is more predictable.  I'd agree, though, that the slant wasn't the best call with Wilson in the pocket.  With Brady, yeah.  With Wilson, like you say, the fade is better; gets the defense to back off, and doesn't have nearly the interception potential.  It has a lower completion percentage than the slant, but I don't think they were looking to necessarily score on that play.

The game was so intense that I hardly remember the ads.  Bad Super Bowls are good for advertisers.

That was a weird branding hook.  'We are not one of those companies that cares a lot about our product, unlike our competitors.  What a bunch of losers.'

Not really because everyone just quits watching the game.

And what was that: whores are for raping?

No, they just said "Uh, no *not* always."

Anyway, it was a cute ad to address a complete non-issue.

People still watch the game.  They just talk about the commercials more when the game sucks.

And jam 2000 calories down their face each commercial break.
