Garrard's improvements/Peyton Regression

[Chi_archie]

you can't really cap these games. but somtimes I like to crunch the #'s and find some hidden stats.....


In Garrard's first 7 games his passer rating was 76.39
this was against teams with an avg overall defense of 22nd in the NFL


In Garrard's last 6 games his passer rating is 93.48 with only 1 INT thrown
this was against teams with an avg overall defense of 17th in the NFL


In Peyton's first 6 games he had a gaudy 115.28 passer rating


In Peyton's last 7 games he has an 87.65 Passer rating with 10 INT's

[Chi_archie]

forgot to add Peyton's first 7 games was against an avg overall defense of 23rd overall
and his last 6 games have come against good defenses, avging 13th overall


the Jags incidently are 26th against the pass and 20th overall

Indy is 20th and 17th respectively.


might not matter as much for tonight.... but the huge difference in the beginning of Peyton's season and the ending is amazing, and worth keeping your eye out....

as the Colts first round matchup could be a team like the JETS, #1 overall D and against the pass
the bronocos # 3 overall and #2 vs the pass, or Balty #8 overall and # 11 vs the pass

Jacksonville is a dead town for football, is tonight's game sold out or blacked out?

[Chi_archie]

[Brock Landers]

heard it was gonna be the first sold out game...

radio station must be giving the tickets away down there or something LOL

[rm18]

they are making a playoff run now as well

[Chi_archie]

undefeated team coming into town, i'm sure quite a bit of transplanted and bandwagon colts fans will be there..... team is on the cusp of playoffs and on prime time....

[Chi_archie]

how many does there stadium hold? up to date weather report anyone?

[roasthawg]

Jags plus the points and the over for me!

I would not expect Manning to throw INT's tonight after 3 last week. Although tipped balls may occur and INT's are very possible when that happens.

[iceminers26]

good info, already on the Jags

lmaooooo

peyton regressing? i dont think so.

garrard is still a joke and dont buy into him "improving." if he was a winner and their future QB why are they so interested in drafting tebow. still has an inaccurate arm and awful will.

good stats though.

Manning had 3 straight games with 2 INTs in weeks 10, 11, 12.... 0 INTS week 13 and 3 in week 14... 9 in 5 games!!!!!!


jax really gets zero pressure on the QB so I wouldn't expect a multiple INT game from him today.... jax averages exactly 1 INT per game and barely above 1 sack a game.

[JetsMatt85]

peyton sure looked like he was regressing, lollll. 12 for 12 with a perfect passer rating in first half. INT wasnt his fault either it was clarks.

garrard showed his true colors as at least 5 balls sailed over wide open receiver's heads. would have had 2-3 INT's if the colts db's wouldnt have dropped them. once he starts getting confident, he tries to be a hero and makes throws he shouldnt. like cutler.

Manning amazing! Garrard missed open receivers all night! A little off here Arch...

[rm18]

Garrard covered the spread so its all good

[Chi_archie]

I didn't make any predictions based on the stats...... I just GAVE you the stats, even put disclaimers in that you can't cap like this, and that It might not even matter tonight....

but going forward when Indy plays real defenses it will matter.

don't forget to get your thoughts in BEFORE the games over somtimes too fella's

[G's pks]

Arch what I said was based on game results...had to be said after the game... Garrand my son...you are no Peyton Manning!

[Chi_archie]

what was I off on then?

[G's pks]

what was I off on then?

Jacksonville! You were rooting for them right? Last time I checked they still lost!
