The wind!!

Denver with too many drops. Still expect them to win this game.
 
Broncos went for 2, and got the 2.
Steelers need a TD now - another intense finish coming up
 
Brady vs Manning. Again.

Hope its a close game cos I cant see Patriots losing it.
 
I'm still new, but would I be right in thinking that was an awful match? Maybe I've just been spoiled by the other playoff games...
 
Only saw the first half of the Broncos game and on that performance, I'm not too concerned with Denver. We'll need Collins, Jones & Mayo to be fit though.

Think the winner of the NFC game will go all the way.
 
Finally watched the Broncos game. Steelers were close considering 2 of their best 3 were missing and the 3rd injured (although couldn't tell much to be honest).

AFC title game will be great, as will NFC. But Manning Brady will be good. Something tells me this is Mannings last hurrah and destiny dictates he will put in one of the best games of his career. But it isn't always romantic and no one better to pounce on it than Tom Brady!

Have a feeling this will be a classic.
 
Some midweek statistics to start getting us in the mood...!

Brady leads the series 11-5 - 8-4 (Colts) 3-1 (Broncos)... the post-season series is 2-2.
Neither player has won on the road against the other since 2007 (and Brady has not won against Manning @ Mile High)
Brady won the first 6 match-ups between them... the series is 5-5 since.
Manning is 2-1 against Brady in the AFC title game... Manning is 2-0 against Brady in the post-season in the last 10 years.

Manning has thrown the most interceptions in a season for him since 2001 - 17 - and has over 100 more interceptions than Brady in his career 17 is also the 2nd highest in the league, behind Bortles - but Manning has only started 10 games. Manning's average yards per pass (6.8 yards) are the lowest since his rookie season, as is his 59% pass completion percentage. He has thrown only 9 touchdown passes this year. His pass yards per game are the lowest of his career (224), as his his QB rating (67.9). Manning's 5/20, 35 yard, 4 interception performance against Kansas got him a quarterback rating of 0.0.

Brady has thrown 36 TD's equalling his third best in a season - Manning has thrown more than 36 TD's in a season 4 times. Brady has completed 64.4% of his passes - slap bang in the middle of his last 8 years where he has been between 63% and 66% (with the exception of 2013). He has thrown less than half the interceptions on the season compared to Manning despite playing 6 more games, and leads Manning in virtually every single QB stat this year. His rate of 102.2 is one of the best of his career.

Post season statistic comparison (and relative regular season comparisons to compare slides/performance increases in brackets):

Games played: Brady 30 - 25 Manning
Completion Percentage: Brady 62.5% (63.3%) - 61.1% (65.3%) Manning
Yards: Brady 7647 (58,028) - 7022 (71,940) Manning
Yards per game: Manning 270 (272) - 256 (254) Brady
Touchdowns to interceptions: Brady 55/26 (428/150) - 38/24 (539/251)
QB Rating: Brady 88 (96.4) - 85 (96.5) Manning

All quite interesting this. Although, it's all completely irrelevant really :lol:

Brady was at his best after he got the 3 rings. He had the misfortune of bumping into Eli twice though :smirk:

Absolutely.

Amazing, and quite hilarious how Peyton's doofy brother became some super lucky and clutch as feck thing against Brady, and even has more rings than Peyton, all against Brady....

Peyton probably cuts himself.
 
I just saw the first segment from S07E01 of The League - Lynch features in it and he's basically making fun of Seattle's playcall in the Super Bowl :lol:
