Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Bears II

[denverYooper]

Wentz and the Philly offense are having a Green Bay in 1996 kinda year. D and ST giving them tremendous field position.

Scott Kacsmar, the guy who noted Rodger/McCarthy woeful 4th Quarter Comeback record has been telling people this to get them to stop the hype on Wentz. It isn't going well.

Is Captain Comeback getting pelted with batteries?

Virtually, yes.

Virtually, yes.

That seems to be his sweet spot. IIRC, he made his name arguing with statistics that Tom Brady was not as good as Big Ben. Then he moved on to drive the "Rodgers (and later M3) is not clutch" train.

He is still driving Brady fans nuts.

His new point is that the Patriots playoffs wins in the Belichick era have featured better defense than offense trends. As in, number of playoff wins where QB had to score more than 24 points: Wilson 5, Warner 4, Rodgers 3, Manning all of them, Brady -2, etc.

He also has a chart of dropped INTs in playoff games. That was started by noticing Brady's low ypa in Super Bowls.

Overall, he has a point. New England doesn't normally put it all on his shoulders. Which is what a great team should be doing. But he purposefully frames it as a shot at Brady.

Even Peter King was bothered by it. But SK had a point, even if Brady was only one point of it.

That post was a nice capsule discussion on the number of factors outside of a quarterback's control and how the playoffs in particular rely more on whole-team effort, defense in particular.
