ah... how '80's! Well, ok guys, here's the deal. I'm too superstitious to give you any of the delicious stats that i have for Sunday's game. I have some good, and some bad, but they're all fascinating (god knows i love my useless Pats Stats). However good or bad, I'm legit freaked out that i'm going to jinx something! SO.. I'll be giving you the cool numbers about this weeks matchup, next week! I'll shoot of a little DCAP Post-game report!
However, lord knows I can't pass up a chance to give you SOME kind of random statistics... SO, I did a little head-head comparison. I matched up Brady, Manning, McNair and Rothlesburger. Here's my justification for the picks. Manning, need i say more, McNair because Bmore, at home, on a Monday night could be something to write home about... and Big Ben because many of the "experts" are saying that the one team that will make us 15-1 will be the Steelers... which I personally don't see, but lord knows i've been wrong before, I mean, look at my weekly pick-em score! lol. In any case, Brady is leading the pack with a 73% pass completion rate, followed by Manning at 69% Mcnair at 66% and poor old tired, no helmet havin Ben at a meager 62%
One thing we need to watch tho, looking at these guys stats, is Sacks. Ben leads with 11!! However, Tommy boy next with 6, McNair 4, and "Saytan" only 3 times thus far. Gotta work on our protection, and that was pretty obvious against our match against the 'boys. While sacks alone are bad enough, you need to look at total yards lost as a result. For us, we've lost 34yards total... Poor Ben's lost a whopping 89, McNair and the Eagles gave up 37, but the scary number is Manning... he and his line have only blown 15 total yards due to sacks...
Manning is also the only out of the four to directly score any points. He has one TD to his credit this year. However, we are tied damn near across the board with 2 INT each (except ofc for dear old Ben.. he's got 3...) so take those stats and do what you will with them.. but all in all, i think we are working with a hell of a team this year, and I've also (ack!) given Brady some praise here and there... and EVERYone knows how I feel about him.
Welcome to the upper echelon folks... I'm liking the view from up here!
In other news, I'll be at the Pub tonight for the game... lets all say a silent prayer, periodically throughout the day... my boy's on 106.7, the Junkies, are saying they think this will be the full 7 games... with the sox pulling out of their asses at the end. And quick question... someone was trying to tell me that "EVERYONE" from Mass calls the sox the "BoSox" to distinguish from the "ChiSox" please tell me that's not actually true. I mean, i know the Globe's done it... but in everyday conversation, i can't imagine going up to another Masshole saying, "So, Sully, you catch that pissah BoSox game last night? It was wicked nuts hey!" Quite frankly, if you know me, or even if you've just heard me talk, I don't feel i need to clarify WHICH Sox I'm talkin about!
