You do realize that lower oxygen content in the air affects a player every single play, offense and defense both, right? The crowd is not a factor every single play; it's not a factor when the home team has the ball, nor is it a factor when the visiting team does something good and the crowd quiets down. The crowd is also less of a factor once the ball is snapped. But if a player can't breathe, or his muscles are cramping because they're not getting enough oxygen, that will impact him every second of the game. Anyone who actually watches games and knows something about the game knows this.Okay, I think you now get the credit for the most outlandish response. There is no way playing at a high altitude trumps the noise and disruption caused at other stadiums like at a Seahawks game. But, don't let my opinion influence you. Read this - Mile High comes in at 18 out of 32 - or, to put it another way, the bottom 50% of the stadiums.
Toughest Stadiums to Play In
Here again, you're a champion of dishonesty. If Malcolm Butler had not given up a long pass completion the previous play, the Patriots would not have needed his game-winning interception. Beyond that, if Doug Baldwin had not made a catch so lucky that it made Tyree's catch a few years earlier look like skill, Butler's bad play on that play still wouldn't have led to the long completion. Baldwin was on his back on the ground and the ball happened to land on his chest.
You omitted the minor detail that Manning stunk it up in the 2013 Super Bowl, throwing two interceptions and failing even to get one first down until the second quarter.
Of course I know the difference elevation makes - duh. But, you stated he would be undefeated if he played in Denver. The analysis in the article I linked to proves that Denver is nowhere near the toughest place to play in spite of the altitude change. If you bothered looking at it you would see that it's based on the teams' point differential at home vs. on the road. Clearly over 10 years of data analysis proves you wrong on this point. It's based on data and facts, not your opinion on the impact altitude makes that results in a team's performance at home. And you do realize point differential is an indication of wins and losses?? He's looking at how much they win or lose by based on where they play.
That has to be the single dumbest sentence I've ever read on any forum, sports or otherwise.
Once again, you're a champion liar. Just five days ago the most blatant non-call in the whole game, such that the commentators commented on the fact it should have been called, occurred when Donald threw Brady to the ground well after he had already released the ball. They showed it in replay for 300 million people to see.
If you took the time to read the details of the article you would understand that point. I said indication - when you take 10 years worth of games and have a heavy swing in a positive or negative point differential, it gives you an "indication" of wins and losses. Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of indication. Since you struggle with the meaning of indication - let me help you with the definition - "be a sign or symptom of; strongly imply." A team with a large positive point differential would "indicate" more wins at home than a team with a large negative point differential. Is it perfect, of course not, that's why I said "indication".
Point differential means even less over multiple seasons than it does over one.
I have made no claims into Mile High other than it's not the toughest place to play. You are the one making the claims about it and can't admit you are wrong. It's universally known Seattle is the toughest. You engaged in ad hominem way before I chimed in - you have pretty much done that with every single person you have disagreed with. Have a nice life.
LOL - I'm done. I have better things to do with my time than a pointless argument with someone like him.Its useless jps,,he has called everyone a liar on here and will not quit acting like a child till everyone says Brady and the Pat's are the best there is,the best there was and the best there ever will be. I stopped responding many pages ago to him because of that but yall keep up the good fight. It enjoyable watching him get all twisted up.
