Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

[Michael Gary Scott]

I jinxed the broncos. I sent a text to my friend who is a big pats fan it was over when it was 24-0

[Kvikk Lunsj]

What the hell was that Manning? He just dropped it lol.

 

No one can handle the ball today lol. Brady did the same thing earlier.

This why you throw to Decker. He is from Minnesota so cold whether  it is his blood

Gronk Gronk Gronk! I really have no chance anymore unless there's a 80 yard TD somewhere...

[MrPink]

As long as Moreno keeps getting carries and Welker gets some more balls, the rest of the Denver offense can go into Witness Protection for the rest of the night.

 

Or Witless Protection.

I am aware of that, but what I am saying is that comparing them in only dollars paints a misleading picture.  50M in 2007 is not the same as 50M in 2013. Well, the whole idea was to not include the midnights/previews.  To say that there was a Saturday drop is wrong, as there wasn't technically a drop from Friday business.  There was a drop from Thursday + Friday business, which is an entirely different thing.  By definition then, to say that the Saturday "drop" is the same is also incorrect. What can be said is that the 8PM previews allow for more spread out business.  This seems logical, as what else would you expect by adding on 4 extra hours to the weekend?  The natural expectation is that business will be more spread out, particularly between Thursday and Friday.  So then a slight increase in overall weekend demand (which was displayed by the 2.7% attendance increase) would explain a larger Saturday than THG.  That would then lead to a similar "drop" on Saturday from Thursday + Friday.

That's what I thought you were saying. And I understand what you mean.

Elektra or Catwoman or TDKR?

Tele, you really are the nostradamus. Manning choking like a dog. He just dropped the ball there.     

[spizzer]

I don't understand why previews are deflating Friday though.  If anything, they're more convenient and should inflate Friday, leading to a bigger Saturday drop but we've been seeing the opposite.

 

If they're more convenient, then why would the inflate Friday?

 

To be clear, I'm talking about actual Friday business (the 45M CF made on Friday), not Opening Day business (70.9M).  More convenient shows on Thursday evening would mean some Friday evening demand can be burned off early.

You know you want Decker to have a good night.  I know you want me to win.

Already at the 50, go PATS!!!

[#ED]

wow....

[#ED]

Brady purposely not even letting Gronk try to catch the balls...

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Run pats!!!

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Brady purposely not even letting Gronk try to catch the balls...

Manning doing that to Decker. 

[B J]

Nice soon to be 21 in the third, great recovery

Football is a zero sum game. Every ball to Decker is a ball Moreno or Welker could have. So no, Decker is Denied.

[druv10]

Broncos are gagging right now. 24-14 with ball at the Broncos 8 yard line. 

[spizzer]

That's what I thought you were saying. And I understand what you mean.

 

Cool.  Just to be clear again (as I think Iceroll showed some confusion on this, though I may be mistaken), when I am referring to Friday, I'm talking about actual Friday business, exclusive of preview/midnight business.  So for CF that would be the ~45M, not the 70.9M (which includes business from what is technically Thursday).

Tell her/him, babe. Tell 'em.

Typical Denver (John Fox/Jack Del Rio) ... get a lead, and make no effort to really do anything on offense, even though have the wind in 2nd & 3rd quarter ... now they're in danger of blowing this game.
