The FO guys discuss the game. Make sure you read the Saints/Vikes stuff too. Some real LOL moments there
Tom Gower: The difference between Peyton and a very good but not ridiculously so QB like Rivers: Colts wide receivers, like on a couple passes to Garcon that drive, are just as tightly-covered as the Chargers wideouts were last week, but Peyton is throwing ridiculously good passes.
Aaron Schatz: I hate to tell you, Rivers actually *can* make a lot of those throws… although he’s better at dropping it over the top of a guy who is well-covered than threading it in to a guy who’s well covered.
Tom Gower: Yeah, that’s the throw that Peyton does better than anybody else. Rivers and the Chargers’ wideouts are a great fit for their respective strengths, but they’re not complete the same way. Peyton has that pass, too, which IIRC he used to great effect to Clark in the 2006 AFC Championship Game, not to pick at a nit or anything, but that’s not where their strength is right now.
