But you have to give Foxxy credit for his being as accurate as he was on some of these specific predictions. Humorously uncanny!
Thanks once more for the flowers.
Yet, it was the ending everybody could have seen. I got fooled for a decade, but no more after last season. If PM couldn´t lead his offense to more than 8 points in the SB with the highest scoring attack ever, how could he do it with an offense that had to regress to the mean? Everything else than a first round exit would have been a major surprise to me.

No doubt about that. But two wrongs don´t make one right. More about that later...

So, does this explain everything, or nothing?
Nothing. It´s the usual: PMs teams set regular season marks, it´s because of his heroics. If his teams lose in the playoffs, he gets apologized. The media uses the usual suspects: bad defensive play, injuries, weather, everything that excuses PMs choker "ability". The stat heads use the "small sample size" argument. Yet they forget to see what happened in every PM playoff meltdown: Lame ducks off-target (yesterday he
overthrew receivers a lot)...
Let´s face it: PM never was, never will be the greatest QB ever. A man that is praised for his heroics loses every year in a bad bad way in the playoffs. And the worst: He did that mostly in the first round with his team being a major HFA favourite. How can such a QB be the GOAT? A QB that melts under pressure every single time (yes, also in the SB year when Grossman, a wide wide open Wayne, and his defense saved his a
ss). In reality, he is a playoff goat.
Like the USA, PM gives great expectations. But when it´s time to deliver, the ugly face is seen.
Like the leaders of big business, he is a overpaid guy. Like the leaders of politics he gives (wrong) hopes and every single time he dashed this hopes. Like politicans, he gets "re-elected" (speak a new multi million dollar contract at the expense of others) even after he fooled everybody more than once, twice, three times...
But like the USA, he still is above most of the rest (as I found out the hard way, how us germans got insulted by our politicans for speaking free). But as the USA isn´t gods own country, PM isn´t the greatest. He is just a good QB who made it trou the years. I respect that. But nothing more.
What´s next:
As I said early last year: After the last PM meltdown the future of the franchise is mortgaged (like the USA future is with their massive debt). They signed expensive FAs to get short term success (which never could become reality since PM is the biggest reason for his teams playoff failures). Long after PM is retired (which he shall do in a hurry to prevent more damage for the Broncos organisation), his monster contracts will work against the cap (as the expensive FA signings will). And who will get the blame: Osweiler. I am already sorry for him. The near future (5-10 years) looks dark for the Broncos. Thanks to PM.
A good QB, but the biggest choke artist ever!
