This happens almost every week in the NFL... Week 18 last year. The Saints beat the Falcons with Trevor Siemian and Taysom Hill under center. 

Taysom had been groomed to be the starter after Brees had he not? Not saying he was the starter, just that he was the heir apparent for a while if memory serves. The Falcons were out of the playoff hunt by the last game of the season, and just wrapping things up.

How about an example of a decent team in the playoff hunt that lost to another team using their backup QB? I'm just curious because nothing jumps to mind, but you appear to follow the rest of the NFL more closely.

We should be favored against any team we play using a backup QB. Trivia question. When was the last time a team won using a backup QB?

Are you new here? I have nightmares still of backup QBs throttling us for years.

Romo on prime time TV

Gus Ferrotte in MN

Matt Hasselbeck in TN

Jake freaking Delhomme in Cleveland 

Christian Ponder in MN

Brady Quinn with KC

Post But Fumble Mark Sanchez in Philly

 

And I'm sure there's others... Those are just the ones seared into my brain.

Omg that popped into your head! Thank god I've forgotten most of those, although the Jake game is making me cringe now that you've reminded me.

Can't forget we made Drew Lock look like John Elway a couple years ago too although I can't remember if he was a backup for them or their initial starter who came in.

Only being favored by 2, at home, against a team starting their backup QB is not a very good thing.  Traditionally the home team is given a 3 point advantage....

This. A 2 point home favorite is basically an underdog and is a line used as bait for naive bettors to put money on the home team. Vegas sees a browns win.

I think it will tilt more toward the Panthers by gametime.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
