Play action that worked like gangbusters. This is similar to the play the Steelers threw for a TD except the Steelers had Troy over the top (in a manner of speaking, he got burned badly).
Stephen Hill works across Taylor's (#24) face at the LOS. Taylor never gets a hand on him then it's a footrace that Hill wins easily. Troy got caught looking at something, can't see what. By the time he chases he's out of the play. Fortunately Geno overthrows this, which isn't typical as Geno has the most pass completions over 15 yards in the league.
Sure, schedule is very similar.
As far as sustainability, average ppg may drop, but I still think they are going to average around 35 ppg for the season. The only thing that is going to slow them down is themselves, injury, or an opposing team that can grind out long drives against them. Being as our defense is #1 against the run, it assures me that Peyton will see the field often since they are able to keep drives somewhat short.
For me, defense at that level is more difficult to sustain than a good offense. Reason being, if KC's offense can't stay on the field, the other team is eventually going to wear out that defense, assuming that the opposing offense is somewhat proficient. It happened over and again with KC last year. It's bound to happen again when they face a team that can sustain drives.

Kind of like packers fans being excited about beating a god awful ravens team!
Yeah, this board has been brimming with people excited about that win. Good call. Wipe the shit out of your eyes.
It's smart on the front office's part (they basically get a year's free pass, then they can draft a QB next season), but it really sucks for Weeden. Hopefully he'll get a decent backup gig somewhere else next season.
Weeden 2 Blackmon Part Deux? I could see it happening!
Plenty more where that came from!
I don't see what the problem is putting him in, I mean can we honestly do worse?
Do we have to wait until we are losing by 50 points?

God awful? lol. Hyperbole check, even for you. I think it was an exciting game and a game that the Packers typically don't win, so that's partly why the game is getting attention. I agree with you for the most part in that it's not like a major statement game or anything, but it is an impressive win.
To your point, the run D was dominant but it's not like the Ravens have been great at it all year. The pass D was good for the most part but still let up one or two explosive plays by boneheaded gaffes in the secondary. The offense looked off even before the injuries. But at the end of the day the Packers held out in a hostile environment even with no offense and huge injuries to key players. If you can take one thing out of the game, it's that Lacy is a legitimate force and shows teams that we can win a game with him as a main feature in the game plan. Hopefully that starts to open things up for the rest of the offense, especially with Cobb out.

Why would the Jags want a sideways move like that?

Those Irsay comments..man that playoff statement is like a slap in the face to Peyton Manning. The truth but coming from owner like that. Damn. Peyton going light it up
Until it gets cold.
Manning told us to draft Luck!
Won't be cold in that dome this week!

Goddamn at those Irsay comments.
The comments I had read earlier in the week from Irsay was that he wanted a more well rounded team, and not one that was all offense, b/c it didn't work in the playoffs. The most recent ones seem pretty well aimed at Peyton.
Or maybe my guy Crazy (like a fox) Jim is pulling a Jimmy Johnson and making it about him so the slaughter isn't put on Luck?

Luck isn't covering DMT or Welker. The Colts will score points. Just probably won't score enough points.
Romo looked like shit against the Redskins, and Vick looked amazing against the Redskins. and Vick is terribad
Romo sucks. he won't do shit
Yeah I don't think that is what he is doing. He's just an idiot.
But look at Romo. Romo "lost" to Peyton even though Dallas' defense gave up 51 points. These things get played up as QB vs QB

Spent the better part of yesterday and this afternoon at the hospital. Hospitals suck.
Thankfully, my moms out of surgery and doing well.

He is already one? Damn time flies.
Please be a responsible parent and don't be one of those weird white guys that get their kids into baseball. It's 2013, time to move on. Give him an iPad if you don't want to get involved or a basketball if you want to be father of the year.
Ah, yep. That'd do it. Thanks! First year of doing fantasy football. I don't get how people get so invested in it, but it's pretty fun having someone to cheer for in several different games.

Hate to hear that. Thoughts and prayers.
Eagles D will make sure all opponents remain in the game regardless of who is QB and how he is playing.
Vick wasn't playing bad and Foles still has a lot to prove. Such a small sample size. If he out duels Romo in the battle of bad defenses then I'll really start buying into Foles.
I guess good problem to have. Vick has only had one bad game and I'll be confident with either against Dallas's D especially with Ware's injury. Its the Eagles D that needs to do more than it has.

Confirms what I have always known

Glad she is okay, but that sucks she is having trouble. Hope she gets well
At least you were not in the hospital bed like your mom. Spent 2 nights in the hospital after my appendix and ACL surgery. Wanted to leave both times because of much it sucked being there but they wouldn't let me go.Spent the better part of yesterday and this afternoon at the hospital. Hospitals suck.

Only drug addicts like amirox like being in the hospital.
This is true up until you reach the playoffs then it changes. You are also forgetting to include weather as a factor. Especially if Denver makes a run at the super bowl. That defense should worry the hell out of you it's one of the main reasons the Pats have struggled in the playoffs in recent years. The year Brady dragged one of the worst defenses in the NFL to the super bowl the Pats had to catch some lucky breaks. The same problem you gave the Chiefs can be applied to the Broncos. What happens when they get down? It's good that you can stop the run, but the Pats have been able to do the same thing simply because they were always up. It's easy to stop the run when your team is up. Teams become one dimensional and make silly mistakes to try and outscore Manning. Same shit happened to the Pats. It's easy to do in the regular season. It's not so easy in the playoffs.

She's getting out today thankfully which she's ecstatic about. It's just the waiting around and general mood of a hospital that drives me bonkers.
Though I did find it strangely amusing that the waiting room in the surgical ward had Hellraiser III on th TV. :jnc
In Giants news:
DJ Ware also in the running:
True, it is dumb.
Also, Irsay is a clown, no one should listen to his bullshit. "We chose Superbowls over statistics". You fuckhead, lol. Took you over a decade to start building a team made for playoff games? Judging by this defense, and Oline we've got ways to go!!

Yea they do. My dads there now, but I can't visit him :-/.
Glad to hear everything went well though!!

That's good man. Wish her a speedy recovery.
My mom's been in the hospital multiple times in her life for various surgeries. Shit is scary.

Manning was able to score 21 points (edit: Holliday had 2 TDs) against a very good Ravens playoff defense, in one of the coldest days of that year. Weather is certainly a factor, but I think it's overblown.
The defense will improve, a little bit of pass rush goes a long way in making a defense better. If you don't get pressure, someone is going to get open. Von is the panacea for that, he will make everyone else better.
As far as coming from behind, they've pulled themselves back into games several times. Most recent being Dallas. It's something that they can do, considering they can hang up points with the best of them.
Like I said in my other post, they'll either beat themselves, injury will hobble them, or a team will find a way to grind out a low scoring game where possession is the name of the game. They are not unbeatable, but if you let Manning see the field it's going to be tough to keep up.
Broncos D is your biggest concern for the post season, not Manning. Nice OP btw!!
If it doesn't improve in the next 5 weeks barring injury, I'll be concerned.
Did I tread lightly enough?
