Seeing how we are out of it, I wish New Orleans the best. They're from the division, and any team that invented the grocery-bag-over-the-fans heads all those years ago has certainly come a long way! They are an exciting team to watch. It would be interesting to see if they can handle some significant adversity (a losing streak, or a key injury - though I want to stress that I don't want to see anyone injured) to test their character, so far, everything seems to be going their way. But I like to watch a good, imaginative offense at work, and they have one! I wish NO all the best in the post season.

The Bengals in the AFC deserve some kudos. With the arrest records associated with that team, getting the probation officers permission to play on any given Sunday must take a miracle in logistics planning! But they're another team whose time may have come..

What's interesting is that any of these playoff teams, with the exceptions of the usual teams like the Colts and Pats, may be mediocre again next year, just like we tend to be from year to year.

As a life-long Steelers fan, gotta go with da Steelers, baby! But I am also a big P. Manning fan, so that would be cool, too. Hey wouldn't it be interesting to see Manning against the Saints. I can only imagine how many times during the game we'd get to see Archie in the box...just to get his reaction when his Son picks apart the much ballyhooed Saints...50...60 times maybe ?:D

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
