Haha a play on the 4th quarter comeback stats?

Read a great stat last night before this game that Matt Schaub had lost 24 games in a row (started 2-0 with Texans before going 2-14) and then 0-10 with the raiders.

What was even better though was that the Raiders last win came against, you guessed it, the Texans with Schaub at QB. Then to rub salt in the wounds, the Texans beat the Raiders this year with Schaub now on the Raiders roster. Now granted he didn't start all those games for the Texans and he hasn't started any games this year, but just a weird stat that you won't come accross again for awhile I'd say.

Yes!

Ravens @ Saints on MNF

Random Stat: Drew Brees has beaten every team in the league except the Ravens. He beat the Saints while at San Diego

BKWDR · 21-11-2014 10:42AM

Fair play to the Raiders, delighted to see them get over the line!

Willy McGinest had the Raiders by 3 points on NFL Network and the rest of the panel laughed him off the slot...

Only Brett Favre and Peyton Manning have beaten all 32. Brady has only beaten 31. It seems unlikely he'll ever get the chance to beat #32.

Delighted that we got the win!! Of course we are absolutely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but its nice to celebrate a win instead of constantly looking for positives to take away from a defeat!!!

Billy86 · 21-11-2014 11:58AM

It will be interesting to see how the QB hype coming up to the draft pans out, because with Bortles and Carr if they Jags and Raiders are picking first, they could trade back, remains in the top half of the first round, and pick up a good number of extra picks in the process which would be of huge benefit to them both. An RGIII type trade won't be happening again for a while, but they might not wind up too far off it if one or two guys generate a lot of interest between now and then.

tbh to me a 1-15 to a 0-16 means a lot

Jets v Bills has been moved to Ford Field in Detriot on Monday/Tuesday at 12AM

Billy86 · 21-11-2014 03:06PM

Kind of works out nicely then, we get the two or three quarters of what should be a so-so game, and if it's crap we can switch right over to the Ravens/Saints... if it's close, keep tuned. Would have been great it they pulled it back to 11pm or so to get both games in full, but still win/win really.

Huge relief to get the win. Great drive from Carr to go down and get the TD at the end there.

It's always the kind of victory you'll remember & savour the most. Always great to see a QB being able to do that. But it's the legends like Montana, Brady, Manning and Elway who have done it consistently during their careers which just adds to their greatness.

Here's another interesting tidbit. Brady hasn't a losing record against any team in the league. Manning has a losing record against 5 teams, Farve had a losing record against 7 teams.

To put Brady's feat in perspective, Peyton Manning has a losing record against five teams, including a 6-13 record against the Patriots (3-9 vs. Brady in the regular season). Then there's Brett Favre, who had a losing record against seven teams in his career.

The most impressive part of the record is probably the fact that Brady is undefeated against seven other teams. In his 15-year career, Brady has never lost to Atlanta (4-0), Chicago (4-0), Dallas (3-0), Jacksonville (4-0), Minnesota (4-0), Philadelphia (3-0) or Tampa Bay (3-0).[

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders
New England Patriots
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Chicago Bears
Buffalo Bills
Indianapolis Colts
Tennessee Titans @ Philadelphia Eagles
Atlanta Falcons
Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans Foster is out I believe
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
St Louis Rams @ San Diego Chargers
Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
Washington Redskins @ San Francisco 49ers
Miami Dolphins @ Denver Broncos

Gone purely with gut feeling picks this week, if I get time to look into any games before kick off and change my mind I'll edit then, think the Rams could cause an upset on paper

Billy86 · 23-11-2014 03:42PM

Had the Chiefs on Thursday...

Detroit Lions @ New England Patriots
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Chicago Bears
New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
Washington Redskins @ San Francisco 49ers
Miami Dolphins @ Denver Broncos
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
Baltimore Ravens @ New Orleans Saints

Browns/Falcons, Bengals/Texans and Cardinals/Seahawks are all coin flips or close to it.

By the way Pats fans - Stafford's record in road games against teams who finished with winning records... 0-15.

Always hated that stat, because it includes the away game at Soldier field which saw the advent of the Calvin rule.

Pats
Bears
Bills

Lions have the best D in the league??

I remember Teryl Austin as secondary coach in Baltimore but I can't remember anyone touting him as a name to watch or a future coordinator.

Hey Lions, give him back?

Fair point, and in truth it should be listed as 'The Lions' and not just Stafford. Still, bodes well for you hopefully dropping to second in the division in 3 hours time.

Yep. Has completely turned this defence around. Most definitely been the best offseason addition in years. Can't believe how well the D has played this year.
As an aside James Ihedigbo has also been a fantastic addition.
