Just would like to say...
 

I'm all giddy thinking of Manning in cold weather running for life. .AND HIS NECK in fear of becoming the meat in a Houston and Hali samwhich served up with a side of donkey fan tears. I have faith in our defense dominating their offense. I know we have to play the Bills first, and after Sandy Ego and the Nap town Lucks, both tough match ups, but I can't wait tell week 11. Not just for the win but to shup up the annoying donk fans.

Yes...random thought turned into a thread. .do not care and **** your couch if you don't like it.

Me too! and even though I like it, I ****ed my couch anyway, sounded fun

I really like my couch, but...
sec

can we have a couch pic thread?
sec

Not quite as advertised, is it?

Manning doesn't run.. he just gets rid of the ball quickly. That worries me a bit.

A little dry at first, but once I got out the leather conditioner it was magical.

Buffalo is next.

My couch gave me the clap.

my swag is through the roof

I don't love my couch nearly as much as others. Damn paisley print.

Holy crap - I picked that one off the curb :doh!:

Great, now I'm hungry.

Wait, clap or the couch?

Gblowme's couch

Manning isn't affected by weather.

No, his throws are

You're right. Just pressure and big moments.

Neck bone. Your time is nigh.

Mods, can we change the name of the lounge to Faceplanet?

Facerapeplanet preferably.

Too fat.

interested?

LMAO

Buffalo

I bet Alex Smith will have more problems in cold weather than Peyton.

Romeo knows how to stop Manning.

Interesting angle. Do his past stats show regression during away games as the season reaches inclement weather?

Not with his 5 yard screens and handing off to JC. Charles will have one of those 200 yard days.

go look, not sure

Completion % seems to consistently drop the last two games of the season.

Yay.

The splits have by month and home/away, but not both.

Alex's QB rating drops 10.1 points away, 84.6 (home) 74.5 (away), and he has a steady regression in QB rating from Sept to Dec:

83.9
81.5
74.9
72.9

Peyton's QB rating drops 6.8 away (100.1 to 93.3), and his rating dips in November, but recovers in December:

99.1
100.3
90.4
99.0

It looks like Alex is more effected by cold/away conditions than Peyton is.

Peyton spent the majority of the career in a dome. Did you factor that in?

You're my boy, blue.

This thread is racist.

I didn't factor anything in. They're splits.

If you wanted to try to factor it in, one could assume that Manning spent half of his December games outside, so half of Alex's late-season drop could be viewed as equivalent. However, Manning doesn't experience any drop, so it clearly isn't equivalent.

Alex is more affected by bad weather than Peyton, as far as I can tell.

That is some pretty shitty logic right there.

Was the couch Black?

Looking through his "Outdoor <40F" split from year to year, he doesn't do much differently in the cold.

Where is that?

its on espn.com splits.

One year was a 71.5, one year was 69.0, and one was 31.8, all less than his career 79.5 rating. The other years he didn't play in <40F weather. That's kind of interesting, this will be his first year playing in a lot of cold.

Peyton had years of 144.8, 105.3, 65.5, 97.0, 157.5, 95.6... and I got bored of looking. All but one was near or above his career 96.7.

I'd say Alex is more affected by the cold.

FTR I was only looking at PM. I really don't care about smith. I know he's mediocre.

Why even compare Peyton manning to Alex smith?

That he does, but the good news is that we have the players to stymie those geek receivers.
