2013 NFL Week 5 Open Thread

The greatest?

Seen enough of him to say he is. A Super Bowl this year and it's a wrap.
His limited post season record will always haunt him. This year is a chance to right that. But to be playing at the level he is in his late-thirties is super human shit. Not ready to put him above Montana yet (who is still the greatest, IMO), but if he breezes through this season and wins a SuperBowl, he might get the nod from me.

Statistically, I'd say he is the greatest. But for stone cold clutch performances, it's hard to top Joe Cool.

Though, on the other hand he's also setting himself up for a pretty big disappointment if he falls short again.

Either way, he is a treat to watch at that position.
And he tosses another TD. Ho-hum.

But, yeah. We'll see how he does in January. He is on his way to the greatest regular season for any player ever by a large margin right now. There's just no stopping him. He's just playing in rarified air.

2005:
2nd Scoring
11th Yards

2007:
1st Scoring
3rd Yards

2008:
7th Scoring
11th Yards

So, the other two years they were 11th in total defense, but Top-7 in scoring defense. Semantics, really. They were very good defenses.

Huh. I just went with total defense and assumed. That said, I vividly remember their defense being a liability. Stats say they we're good. I remember hearing compliments during their Super Bowl season how they stepped up against the run. What was the rush defense for those teams? Out of curiosity. All I remember is them beating up on an incredibly weak AFC south then struggling against better opponents.
