Even across the board except for Demaryius Thomas who was only targeted four times.

Every receiver has now dropped below the 100 catch projection threshold. Each is still on pace to break 1000 yards receiving. Three of the Four are on pace for double digit touchdowns. Eric Decker has suffered the most from Wes Welker and Julius Thomas use in the redzone.

Directional Passing





Peyton has struggled with accuracy (completion percentage) when targeting that middle/right portion of the field from 10-19 yards (52.9%). He has attempted 24 passes over 20 yards or more for the season. Brees has attempted 34 passes over 20 yards, Rodgers 28, Brady 32, Stafford 21. The checkdown captain Alex Smith has attempted 11.

To Blitz or not to Blitz?

Peyton has yet to throw an interception when pressured or blitzed. In fact his QBR is the highest when opposing teams have blitzed him. Bring more rushers and there's a better chance several of the four horsemen have one on ones.

Noticed that Peyton has not been sacked on a blitz either. Speaks volumes to the pass protection up front and the pickups by the backs.

Blitzing is not the answer folks.
