How the fuck do the coaches not watch this season's game tape? Good thing BG isn't here or this might break him.
New England specifically Massachusetts. Winters suck badly over here for the most part. Although, this fall has been crazy amazing in terms of weather.
Makes sense to me. That's why I thought Texans had a chance. Hell we only lost the last match up because we started Mallet. And that had nothing to do with a torn pec. He throws just the same when healthy!

I say he gets it. He's probably the happiest guy in the locker room having Romo back
Man your chocha needs a year long tampon and midol. You should be a general to the cold. For shame.
Yes, Bradford with an aging Celek was tearing up the Dolphins early in the game, and Celek has been pretty low key other than blocking in recent years. Romo back with Witten who has been a consistent target is going to rip Miami apart
I have the same exact choice. What say you?

I can't remember who said it but losing is a disease. It affects everyone slowly but surely. The only way you don't know the Steelers don't 2 Gap anymore is if you had no inclination to check that sort of thing.
Depends on where you live obviously. 40 still isn't pleasant to be outside on average. Unless you are coming out of a deep winter. I used 40 because that's what most people use as the cutoff to determine cold weather play. It's not something I cooked up.
In terms of how Manning plays in cold weather, here's some figures for you:
<20 degrees and average wind of 8.7 mph:
260.7 yards, 2.3 TDs, 1.0 Ints, 69.67% completion percentage, 87.2 Rating, 6.3 YPA
20-29 degrees average wind of 12.8 mph:
209.3 yards, 1.2 TDs, 1.0 Ints, 56.37% completion percentage, 70.4 Rating, 5.2 YPA
30-39 degrees average wind of 9.1 mph:
260.6 yards, 1.5 TDs, 1.4 Ints, 64.51% completion percentage, 85.0 Rating, 7.9 YPA
You'll notice that some of these games were played in the playoffs, so it's expected that his numbers will take a dip as all playoff QBs numbers do to some degree.
Dallas offense has been blue balled for two months. Phins going to get worked. Definitely play your Cowboys. Would be something if they won the division. They would at least be a worthy playoff team, better than their record
I have said that before when talking about tanking in football. Can't do it. You need your young players from previous regimes, and they can't be of the mindset that when something goes bad it is "here we go again". No fatalists, b/c fatalist quit

Some context to those numbers would be nice Slay.

I like how he denies he's obsessed with the Pats yet he was talking about the Pats in the run up to last week's game against the Jets.

I want no part of this decision, you're on your own!
But.... I thought we were bros
Yeah I think I'll go with Romo, Cutler faces a good Denver D.
#Finsup!! I'll be going to a Dolphins bar to watch the game so I'll be rooting for Miami the whole time in case you doubted my allegiance
Isn't that why he took the Bills job??
hobby to DFW is lie 40 minutes.

As I thought - only 3 games under 20 degrees. One of them to the Titans who went 7-9 in the 2013 season.Via PFR:
Sorted by year/age:
You didn't argue over record of opponent or quality.
You said cold. Don't move the goal posts.
In the games that are <20 degrees, he's got 7 TDs and 3 Ints.
Not to mention that the games that are 20-29 have an average wind of 12.8 mph which brings the actual feels like temperature down even further.
So for a 30 degree day for instance, with 10 mph of wind, the wind chill is about 16 degrees.
I have to go to a meeting now, adios!

I'm not moving goalposts. The first data point that Slay posted looks good on its own, but it's got a sample size of three games. The next datapoint has double that. The third 14. Both are less favorable, and the third similar wind to the first.
Forget my Tits comment, but the rest still stands.

Corey Brown hurt.
Panthers about to bring in The Joe Webb Experience to play WR

Yeah, and I argued that the wind is more troublesome than the cold.
Data backs that up.
DeaconKnowledge

By your own data in the third data point the wind was only .4 mph stronger. Manning was .500 in those games. If less than 40 is cold, then your third datapoint refutes your wind claim.
The nice thing about having no good WRs is an injury to any of them doesn't really matter! As long as it isn't Olsen.....
I don't give a fuck about win/loss.
Individually, he played well enough.
This isn't a tennis match.
<20 = 8.7 MPH
20-29 = 12.8 MPH
30-39 = 9.1 MPH
<20 and 30-39 numbers are very similar.
20-29 (with higher wind by about ~3 MPH) numbers are lower. Guy struggles with sharp winds. Ball unwinds itself.
Now I have to go.

His individual numbers in 30 degree plus weather aren't good! A near 1:1 TD/INT ratio, cmon Slay!
I hope Farooq comes back.
Don't really care about the X's and O's of other teams (I read them but I'm mainly concerned with the Lions) but I always appreciated how he broke down plays and his analysis of the game. One of the scholars of NFLGAF along with squicken and LJ.
I noticed this last game but you can see subtle differences in the Jim Bob Cooter/Matthew Stafford.
For one, Troy Aikman commented on this, but we're not rotating running backs every play, which seemed to screw up the flow of the offense. The running game is still atrocious but the passing game has become somewhat better. Although Ameer Abdullah has gotten only 7 carries since Cooter took over the offense but I think that'll change after the terrible game Joique Bell had against the Packers.
Also we brought back some of those old Scott Linehan reverse/fake reverses which was good too see and actually worked on a couple of plays.
Stafford in particular was mentioning how Cooter was dialing up the right plays at the right time against the Packers in post game interviews.

or your own clearly :smugface:
Up next on Darius Slay's shutdown tour is Raiders' explosive rookie WR Amari Cooper

More at the link, but going into his 3rd season Darius Slay has been one of the leagues top DBs and a shutdown DB.

Shoulda drove and saw more of our greatest state
I wouldn't count on it. No offense to phins fans, they didn't even play well. The Eagles just played worse

It's cute how you're worrying about a 2 win team.
Who'd he shut down two weeks ago against the Vikes? THEE Mike Wallace?
Wasn't it the club priest in The Natural?
you're a short shrimpy cambodian spider eater tho
He's shut down whoever he's been assigned to shut down.
You play to win the game.gif
Not sure, we're depleted at DB especially after the Green Bay game but I'm not worried about Crabtree.
You're a scrawny white forest fairy.
i could wrassle you and beat you like russian drunk whore

None taken. They looked awful in the Eagles game. The weird thing with the Dolphins is they do flash at times as we saw against Houston and Tennessee. Granted, those teams suck, but they looked downright explosive. They just can't ever seem to make the leap to being a team that does it consistently.
Of the four Philbin seasons this has been the most unpredictable by far. Most games they are either blowing someone out or getting blown out whereas in the past every game seemed to go down to the wire. That's why I really have no idea what to expect against the Cowboys, especially with the uncertainty of Romo's health.
