I'm in no way saying that JG is comparable to Peyton at this point in his career, BUT for context here are the stats from Peyton's first two playoff matchups vs.Bellichek:
'03-Coming off of a 38-31 victory in KC, PM went 23-47 with 237 yards with 1 TD and 4 INTs in a 24-14 loss at Foxboro. He was also sacked 4 times.
'04-Coming off of a 49-24 victory against Denver, Peyton went 27-42 with 238 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT in a 20-THREE loss at foxboro.
I wonder what the stills looked like in those games? I'm not making excuses for JG and/or McVay, just pointing out that this has happened before against a sure fire first ballot HOFer. I wonder how many wanted to give up on PM after his teams 3 point performance in 04?
