Heard yesterday on Insiders or NFL Live:
Jay Cutler, 7 multiple INT games in 2014
Aaron Rodgers, 7 multiple INT games since 2010
Yowsah!

I wonder if Cutler has more 4th quarter comebacks since 2010 than Rodgers does. Just for discussion's sake.
 
At one point, Breesus was the worst in that 4th Q category (early in AR's starting career).
Brees does tend to throw a good amount of INTS. AR doesn't so I am befuddled on the whys there.

The number of 4th Q comebacks isn't the real issue. If you're not behind in the 4th Q, then you have no chance for a comeback. Number of successful 4th Q comebacks/number of attempts at 4th Q comebacks would be more telling.

True, good point.

For the record, Cutler has 10 (10 game-winning drives), Rodgers has 5 (8 total game-winning drives) since 2010.

Some of it might be opportunity, sure. Then again, the majority of losses in the NFL are by less than a score, so the QB would in theory have an opportunity in most of those losses.

Also, I watched the 2nd half for the NFCCG. :coffee:

I'm not saying Cutler's better than Rodgers, he's not. Cutler sucks, IMO, and Rodgers does not suck.

I just thought it was an interesting discussion point.

Everyone loves Aaron Rodgers, and yes he's won a Super Bowl. He's good.

But outside of the SB year of 2010, he's 2-5 in the playoffs with 3 one-and-dones. :shrug:

Edit: Brady has 14 comebacks, 17 game-winning drives since 2010 - http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=BradTo00

Kacsmar earned his chops studying game winning drives. I don't agree with him about much but this study for FO I can't argue about.

I tend to look more at how a player individually plays in a game than the record. I am sure you are sick of me saying QBs don't have W-L records, this isn't baseball. PM isn't < than TB due to playoff records or rings, he is < than TB due to their play in those games, & their ability to play at a certain level with their surrounding cast too. IE 2011 when TB had one of the worst defenses in SB history...yet we hear a lot of crying about how bad PM's defenses always were. It will be interesting to see if GB is able to improve or not in the playoffs now that Mikey Mac handed off his playcalling duties. I put playoff W-L on coaches more than on players. And I like Mikey Mac. It's time to see if he is more of a Shanahan (great OC, decent/good HC)or more of a Belichick (the best evah!)

Everything the NFL does these days pushes me closer and closer to breaking my "give a damn". So ridiculous.
 
Brady is 2nd best NFL QB for 2015 says Madden. Only 2 pts behind Rogers? I'll take that.

Here are the top-rated quarterbacks in Madden NFL 16.
image.img.jpg
AARON RODGERS (99 OVR)
GREEN BAY PACKERS
6’2, 225 POUNDS
The NFL MVP is excellent at many things. Between his 95 Throw Power, 98 Play Action, and 88 Throw on the Run, Rodgers can beat you in or out of the pocket. He’s awfully accurate, too. His 80 TAD is tops in the league, and he also boasts 94 TAS/92 TAM.

image_0.img.jpg
TOM BRADY (97 OVR)
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
6’4, 225 POUNDS
Brady claims league-best marks with 96 TAS and 97 TAM. Brady threads the needle with 94 Throw Power, but lay off the deep ball with his 70 TAD.

The “Biggest Gut-Punch Loss” in Patriots History? SI Has One Everyone Can Recall

index.jpeg

Sports Illustrated has put out a piece on the “Biggest gut-punch loss” for each and every franchise, the Pats included.
The game that the author the piece, Doug Farrar, picked one that everyone still remembers to this day – the team losing their chance at perfection as they lost to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
New England Patriots: Feb. 3, 2008, Super Bowl XLII—Giants 17, Patriots 14
This wasn’t supposed to be a game. It was supposed to be a coronation. The Patriots were coming into the Super Bowl with an 18–0 record, and had been beating the daylights out of nearly every team they faced through the 2007 season. But the Giants, who held New England to a close win in the regular-season finale, dialed up an excellent game plan that had multiple defensive linemen putting pressure on Tom Brady right in his face, and the team that set the single-season scoring mark was held to two touchdowns. When David Tyree made his famed helmet catch, the outcome seemed to be ordained from on high. In truth, the team that won out-coached the team that lost, which is always a threat to happen, no matter how great one of those teams or coaches may be.


:Eason:​
 
The loss in the AFCCG to the Colts was a harder pill to swallow, IMO.

F*ck Peyton Manning :cuss:

Over a perfect season? That loss was unconscionable but... :shake:. A perfect season would have been epic and historical.

Still feel that in the pit of my stomach.

I couldn't listen to New York Sports radio for a long time after that.

What made that a tough loss was that we were up by like 21 -3 and simply blew it (although that phantom face guarding call didn't help).

The Giants actually deserved that SB win, as their d-line just kicked the crap out of our o-line all game long. I don't think Brady ever took more hits than he did in that game.
 
The perfect season is my #1 most painful loss...#2 is when they faced them again...and lost again.

WTF?!?!

I know which losses have scarred me most based on my two priorities for every regular season:

1. Patriots get to postseason.
2. Giants don't get to postseason.
