Well Rice did not make the first down, though it was a great effort, the refs gave it to em' on that one. Still, chargers always suck and they should have won by then :p

Can't believe Pittsburgh had 8 turnovers and only lost by 6. What happened to Dennis Dixon? He was drafted by the Steelers a while back. Pittsburgh lacking a good backup QB.

Looks like a pretty dreadful game tonight. Eagles and Panthers have both been horrible.

why didn't espn use flex schedule for tonight game? since both the iggles and panthers sucks.

Yep, this game is going to suck. I think the Panthers will win though, the Eagles have given up and are without McCoy. You still have to factor in how bad the Panthers played last time they were in primetime though.

What about Peyton Manning? Turned around a team that would've prob finished 3rd in their division?
Matty Ice? 10-1, tied for best in the NFL..
If the Saints can make the wildcard, Drew Brees? More TDs, Yds than Brady..

also because I'm a homer, if the Skins make the playoffs somehow-RG3??

Manning took over a team with the worst qb passer ever and still went 8-8. So I don't see that he has done that much. Brady has a better qb rating and Manning has thrown almost 3 times as many interceptions. Manning gets Comeback Player but is not the MVP

As for Matt Ice he's thrown over 4 times the interceptions than Brady, and Brady has thrown almost 25 percent more TD"s. As for records, Brady got them into field goal range and the Pats kicker blew a gimme. Then Brady marched down the field and should have won another one but the Pats defense gave up a td in like 40 seconds.

And didn't the Pats go 11-5 with Matt Cassel against a 1st place schedule? I think it's obvious Brady is a top MVP candidate, but you're a total homer if you think it's a slam dunk no contest.

That was back when the Pats had a top notch defense.

Tonight is what happens when a resistable force meet an movable object
:biggrin:

I pity Gruden, trying to talk up the teams to make things interesting. It was laughable when he made the Panther offence sound like some unstoppable force, and the comment about WR Joe Adams??! Complete fiction.

Mike Tirico was great last week during the official promo for tonight's game:

"And next week, the Eagles and the Panthers. John, these two teams are absolutely terrible."

:D

Peyton
Brady
Brees

I would not put Ryan close to them. If you do that based on record then you have to have Schaub up there as well.

RG3 is interesting choice and Luck would be as well. Indianapolis is in the playoff picture right now:

Bryce Brown with butterfingers. Eagles can't catch a break. I can't tell you the last time the Eagles won the takeaway battle in a game. They don't even have an INT since week 6.
