Why home field matters - The Orange Mane

mwill07 · 11-25-2013, 01:28 PM

Manning:

in Foxboro: 2-9, 61% completion rate, 22 TD, 20 int, 79.5 QB rating
In Mile High: 16-3, 68.6% completion rate, 52 TD, 10 int, 111.5 QB rating

Brady:

in Foxboro: 92-18, 63.4% completion rate, 197 TD, 63 int, 95.3 QB rating
in Mile High: 2-4, 59% completion rate, 11 TD, 7 int, 87 QB rating

Manning is significantly better in Denver, worse in Foxboro. Brady is significantly better in Foxboro, worse in Mile High.

I have a feeling we will see the Pats again. I would much rather see them in Denver. Beating KC and then finishing out the season to stay home in January is imperative. Forget the stats about cold weather - the above are much more meaningful, IMO.

Bottom line is we have to win out now. Looking at the Pats schedule, I can see them winning out and now they have the tie breaker over us. We don't want to go back there for the AFC Championship game.

WE NEED TO WIN OUT

Unless it's cold at home, then we have no chance.

Exactly, did you see Peyton crying after the game?

For this team it does, they sure the hell can't win big games on the road.

Drunken.Broncoholic2 · 11-25-2013, 01:59 PM

If they can't win there in November they aren't going to in January. This was a bigger game than people think. Having said that I can see them winning out and getting home field.

B-Large · 11-25-2013, 02:00 PM

Meh, it's about getting hot at the right time.... The Raven beat both of said teams on the road, and they clearly we're not the better team overall, just a that time

I'm not even sure they were the better team that day against us. Every break went their way. And Rahim Moore.

I agree, sometimes it's just being in the groove cosmically... That sounds cheesy, but it's true

I disagree!

We need to get tougher!

The Super Bowl is in NY & the NFC has some fierce foes to throw at the AFC this year.

If we can't hold up to a little adversity on the way to the Super Bowl we don't belong there anyway. The NFC will kill anyone that is allowed to coast on in.

If we make the super bowl, it will mean we have already won some tough games in **** weather.

Damn fine idea. Think they'd play the game on the jumbo torn for me when I am done tailgating?

Requiem · 11-25-2013, 02:20 PM

Winning out is pretty much our only option, unless somebody beats New England. That is why last night mattered. . .

do we win our next game in KC?
if not, then discussion of the SB is ludicrous.

Yup. This loss will sting with me for a while.

Had we won, we would have a THREE game lead on the next best division leader, with only 5 games to play. Barring a colossal collapse....homefield would have been all but assured already.

Now we have only a 1 game lead, and the #1 seed is very much up for grabs. In fact, as we've said, we probably have to win out to get it.

Last night's loss was HUGE.....bigger than huge.

You're right. The Ravens looked like a Super Bowl team last year in week 15.

It was absolutely devastating. I almost regret the $10 I spent on getting a digital antenna to be able to watch the game from my place. . .

Agreed, we looked over rested last year and got knocked out by the Ravens. I hope we continue to firm things up and really start rolling in the last couple games before the playoffs. It's very unlikely and I can't remember the last time we have done this (I guess the Tebow year maybe?), but it's possible.
