Eric's Bio

I am an avid Indianapolis Colts fan, but unfortunately I do not reside in the Indianapolis area. I am drawn to the NFL because of the role strategy and game planning play in the game. I am a big believer in the value of statistical analysis, both for use by fans and NFL teams alike. I am a web developer by trade, but I would love to someday combine my passion for NFL statistics with my technical skills in my career for a more satisfying workweek. I am not really sure what that would look like though.

After that amazing touchdown catch by Greg Lewis from Brett Favre as the Vikings top the 49ers, 27-24, it brings me to a thought. NFL Fans, we really need to pay so much more attention to this receiver named Greg Lewis.

Hope you can comment, I'd love to hear your feedback and your thoughts on my opinion.

Peyton Manning overcomes the impossible to lead his Colts to victory, doing so in historic fashion I might add.

How do you win a game with no rushing support, no run-defense, no Anthony Gonzalez, and no time?

If you have a moment, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game.

Look forward to seeing you there,
