I'm no giant backer of Schaub but he wasn't why we lost to the Patriots. People act as if he has come up small in the postseason, he has only played in one and the defense got us eliminated. Patriots loss in playoffs 457 yards, 41 points Patriots loss 419 yards, 42 points Packers loss 427 yards, 42 points The defense will have to go up against Manning or Brady, maybe both to get to the SB. They are gonna have to play better. Scahub isn't out biggest problem.
Coach and QB. So far, so good but I'm concerned Schaub will nose-dive again late in the season. Big game choking. Nuff said. Secondary. The Giants have twice shown a great pass-rush more than makes up for holes in the secondary. I'm hopeful. O-line. Nuff said.
Nothing! It's playing great football at the right time.. We have the pieces out together.. There is always something you can criticize until the ag
it could be injuries during the playoffs. last year Baltimore had a lot of injuries during the regular season, but in the playoffs, they got healthy and won it all or special teams and kicker, like other people have already posted. and consistency in both offense and defense.
Just gotta get hot at the right time.. you don't have to be the best to win. Just get hot.. ie: Ravens, Giants
Winning the super bowl is a large part luck. The ravens weren't even hot going into the playoffs and if not for some luck would have lost to denver.
Yep I agree, also the Giants had a lot of luck when they won their superbowls (first when Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard FG, then Favre choking in his last game as a packer, and then the helmet catch against the pats, then kylie williams fumbling 2 punts).
Imagining it, and it still isn't very good yet. An OL is judged on its own merits, not on how fast a QB can run.
Nothing! Its playing great football at the right time.. We have the pieces out there.. There is always something you can criticize about the team until they actually go out and win it.. Giants.. Ravens.. Texans just have to be playing the best football during those months.. We have the veteran leadership.. A guy who has been to the superbowl so now he can keep them on track.
This is very disingenuous with such a biased view I have to shake my head at it. Basically you're saying that great QBs that underperformed, or played very conservative, are then considered "game managing QBs." Yet at the same time, you called game managing QBs that played out of their minds in the playoffs still game-managing QBs. For example, Tom Brady in 2003 playoffs extrapolated into an entire regular season: 4200 yards/27 TDs/11 INTs. Peyton's stat for that year as the definitive best QB? 4100/29/10. So you call him a game-managing QB. I think you and I will have to disagree on that. Also, Schaub is not paid like a true game managing QB. The difference between his pay and Peyton Manning or Drew Brees is basically Daniels or Myers. He's being paid above average QB salary. I don't know what Dilfer or Johnson was paid, but I'm going to assume they're not as much Schaub(relative to the cap).
we have what it takes. teams have won with less talent than we have. its about the entire team wanting and believing they can do it. its that simple.
You don't keep up with the threads then. People throw out game managing for a qb that led the league in passing, had 29 tds and a high 90s qbr. So me throwing in " game managing" was a tribute to those people. No Qb can win the superbowl by him, contrary to the popular belief by the talking heads. And none of those guys got it done without the carrying them. I forgot to add Tuck rule to the 2001 championship.
The only thing disingenuous is the logic that our qb can't win a superbowl because he hasn't won one yet or because because he is not elite. Manning's 3 td and 7ints playoff performance is an example of a team still pulling through because of a freaking TEAM effort. And yes Dilfer outplayed Manning throughout the playoffs in his run. It's fact, unlike schauberhate logic you guys throw around. lol 3tds -7int! that's not even game managing. That's purposely sinking a ship. TEAM!
