OFFICIAL NFL PLAYOFF THREAD 2024-2025: Vol: Championship Sunday. May Hate Reign Supreme

[WASHED KING]

You do realize that QBs threw more INTs with different rules. Interception numbers are down across the board in the modern day game. 15-20-25 INTs were normal back then. TD:int ratio are completely different now

Show the numbers that confirm this.

EYE am not saying you're wrong but does that mean QB's today are just better?

 

[getback]

This would a W for Celtics fans

 

[finessence]

1.8 INT% vs 2.4 INT% in a League that’s completely different

 

[WASHED KING]

1.4 INT% vs 2.4 INT% in a League that’s completely different

So today's QB's on average are better?

 

[g-time]

DBs can’t play as physically as they did back then.

2000-2003: league avg of 17, 17, and 16


1994: league avg 17

2019: 12
2020: 12
2021: 13
2022: 13
2023: 13
2024: 12

Those are team averages.

Brady and Mahomes both average 11 INTs per season for their careers

 

[Dave East]

Yeah this is what people are failing to understand. You get the franchise QB and build around him. RB's are pretty disposable in today's league.

Didn’t get a franchise QB, tied 45+ mil for two years to a backup QB and lost the best player on the team that was the leader and the face of the franchise to save 11-12 mil a year. Gave up picks and overpaid Burns, who isn’t a game changer. The list goes on and on.

 

[g-time]

Didn't think Burns was a bad add, but when your secondary is toast I guess you can say that.

I don't see what your point is? I'm not praising the Giants at all.

 

[witnesskb24]

Twist it how you want but the giants are morons and a trash organization

They fumbled the bag hard and paid a bum instead of Saquan

 

[Dave East]

Burns is decent but not worth the money. Thibs will be gone after this season cause you’re not paying him and Burns and he’s been underwhelming.

 

[g-time]

Think they performed as best as they could for unit with a bad secondary and was always on the field due to inept offense.

 

[kicks2024]

All those play calls sucked. They knew they were bringing the house on 4th and no quick route to get open. Trash

Disguised blitz, Josh didn't read it and rolled out right into the pressure. RB was wide open on the other side if he read it correctly.

This

LB's dropped back in coverage as the offense were expecting a blitz up the middle. I called it right before the snap.

I will agree to a point I guess that Josh didn’t read it and/or rolled in to it but the post up there started with “disguised” .. if it’s disguised isn’t that the whole point is so the QB can’t read it

Anyways, I’m not mad at the play call - Kincaid was running wide open with this called blitz. Josh just didnt have time. If he could have set his feet this is completed (unless that “flag” Nantz said was thrown isn’t picked up)

And as frankmatthews said the RB was open as well. I think either of those completed were speaking differently about Spag play call there

 

[ny mavurs]

If Saquon was still with the Giants would of maybe been 4-13 instead of 3-14? What's malpractice is the Giants letting Saquon go and getting nothing in return. If we weren't going to pay, trade him and get something for him.

Why did yall draft him in the first place? To help Eli prolong his career? That’s what I believe as someone who lives amongst Giants fans

He was looking at Josh the WHOLE time and clearly knew he was the #1 read. Like the tweeter said, your QB was in trouble… adjust!

That was a Gettleman pick because they thought he was a missing piece to a closed window for Eli. Everyone else was saying draft the next QB.

Yea he’s the right level of invested.. knows enough to hold you accountable, but ain’t going pretend like he knows everything.. progressive.. and most importantly willing to spend money on stuff to help team (highly paid assistants.. analytic departments and scouts)

Don’t know if pats winning some of those early super bowls if DBs had to play with today’s rules

This is true

Manning and the Colts petitioned to have the rules changed because of how we shut down their passing attack. DBs had their receivers in hell

I was at that 2003 AFC Championship in the snow. Peyton was in absolute hell
