how many times did he lose to a 6th round pick?

Bill Polian built teams around Manning that couldn't compete with the Patriots.

But at least you admit it

You're the one making the logical fail. What you're trying to argue is the same as trying to argue that you turned on a light by flipping the switch yet there wasn't a bulb in the socket. It didn't matter that you flipped the switch. The switch was irrelevant because there was no bulb in the fixture. The Bucs game was the bulb and our game was the switch. There had to be a bulb in the fixture for the switch to come into play. There was no bulb in the fixture.

The Carolina Panthers go in to Atlanta and choke away close games. It’s what they do. They definitely don’t hang up 40 burgers with no turnovers and WIN in OT. 

today BY walked on to the field where his NFL career first started. A game that looked like he had no business in pro football. He walked off the field today with 5TDs, no interceptions and an overtime win. He converted a 1st and 25 with 1 throw. No jitters. No nerves.

This win was sweet, any way you shake it. I’ll continue my like him but I don’t like him stance.

Our game made the result of that game equally irrelevant.

The Falcons needed two things to happen to make the playoffs. The fact that the one they had an active role in didn't is because of us.

Are you drunk?

There's some really bad logic going on in this thread. LOL!

You talking about logic at the same time of not understanding the nuance and point other are making is laughable. 

Higher draft pick are better than lower draft picks if you are making that statement in a bubble.  There are tons of higher drafts picks that turned out to be horrible players so the "logic" of higher draft pick = better player is easily shown not to consistently accurate.  You're able to count to 10 so it only seems to be irrefutable logic.

Others have tried to explain with examples using money or pointing out the fallacy in your argument but you're stuck in your linear single thought logic.

You're making way too much of this in your effort to skew today as a negative.

I can tell you one thing, the PFF grades for the OL are going to be good.  I mean Young will be tops, but the OL should round the next several spots easily.

Draft pick capital is measurable. Once the pick is made it's no longer draft capital. It's a player that you control their draft rights. These are two entirely separate things.

You could've simply typed "I also don't understand logic" and saved yourself considerable time.

In terms of measurable variables (draft capital) it is a negative. There's nothing measurable about the potential positives. Morale and culture and whatever aren't measurable data points. Maybe they're real and impactful, maybe they're not. Draft capital is definitely real though.

Was worried about not having Hunt but O-line held up well today. Granted, I also think the Falcons pass rush really wasn't there much today, but gotta win the matchups we get.

Why is a team like the Steelers who never pick in the top 10 always competitive for the playoffs?

Ask Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Bryce Young, most fans, and the Panthers locker room how important this win was.

That’s the only thing that matters right now, “measurable” or not.
