Four different coaches.

Dungy, Caldwell, Fox, Kubiak


Coaching counts for a lot, yet people continue to pass it off. However, you can't say one is better in the post season over the other if they have pretty much the exact same stats. It's a team game. Period.

He was rattled the whole game.

I realize the talent level of the D, but Wade Phillips isn't getting enough credit for that game. He did something nobody else has done this year which is rattle Tom Brady from early in the game till the end.

Per official stats, Denver's 20 QB hits was the most for any team since 2006.




More fun facts...


@PFF

The Broncos blitzed a season-low 17.2 percent of the time yesterday

I saw 3 man rush a lot from from Denver. Von Miller should count as 2 people though...

I loved how Denver said "u have no one who can beat us over the top" so the second half they had a ton of guys underneath stoping the short passing game. Brady will dink and dunk all the way down the field and for some reason (Joe Barry)coordinators let them. Amendola and eldman are underneath receivers.

Also Denver linebackers Brandon Marshall and travethan can cover.

I'll tell you what Wade did, he sat back and watched his talent get it done.

When you can get serious heat on the QB without bringing extra rushers you're already way ahead of the game. Especially when you can get pressure from the interior to prevent him from climbing the pocket.

But he also is a great defensive evaluator with a great scheme. If he were here our defense would have been better. But he isn't so we have to hope Barry can become great or at least good.

On the broadcast, the sideline reporter actually mentioned that BB said the defensive looks were messing with them a bit. It wasn't a report, more of a comment, but it is telling IMO.

[DYoungJelly]

New England Patriots, offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo part ways

NE GM is still there. If they thought it was a talent issue. . .

I know, I know, the BB is the GM.

And I'm not knocking Peyton by any means. They're both great players. But to me Brady is better because of his post season success. Also I don't think I've ever seen a better bad weather QB ever. Brady can play in any type of weather.

It also looks physically that Brady still has several more years left. His arm looks as strong as it ever has.

that broncos D is crazy good. and their linebackers can actually cover WRs.

I'd like to see peyton win a 2nd QB for reasons... and then retire.

Yup. Football is one of the ultimate team sports, and yet people blame Manning for not winning more than 1 title. I think he will retire in 2 weeks, and I'll be rooting for him to collect his 2nd ring. Unfortunately it will probably be his toughest SB since Seattle, this Panthers team looks unstoppable.

Which is why the pro-bowl doesn't mean jack shit. When guys like Tyrod Taylor and Jameis Winston are the "pro-bowl" QBs, you know they are struggling bad.

when you have the 4 best teams (ie the most likely to have a bunch of pro bowlers) basically not participating, of course it's going to be watered down. i mean, technically arizona and NE could send people out, but if i was there, i'm not sure i'd want to hop a flight immediately after exit interviews and all that.

yeah, the last time I watched a few years ago, it was pretty pathetic...not even as hard as flag football.

they're better off doing an awards show or something- it would be more interesting.

A little belated but Cooley did a film breakdown of the Denver defense:

1-27-16 Hour 2 at the very beginning
Audio Vault | ESPN 980

Between all the mixed coverages on each side of the field and the different drives Cooley estimated they gave NE 30 different coverages.

He said they played a different type of coverage on a single series with mixing different styles of the same coverage.

He said they played six different versions of cover 2.

Really good listen if you have a few minutes.

They have really smart, really talented players and a killer game plan which confused a guy who doesn't get confused.

THE PERFECT STORM!
