Jared butler baylor wallpaper11/7/2023 Toronto Maple Leafs’ superstar Auston Matthews has learned this the hard way. It’s an unofficial rule where if you’re the star player in a hockey-crazy market like Toronto or Montreal, you’ll always be the scapegoat any year your team doesn’t win the Stanley Cup. Auston Matthews, Toronto Maple Leafs TORONTO, ON – OCTOBER 02: Auston Matthews #34 of the Toronto Maple Leafs looks on during an NHL game against the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Arena on Octoin Toronto, Canada. Or, y’know, just go ahead and keep blaming Embiid for the 76ers’ shortcomings when he’s clearly not the problem. ![]() Or what if Embiid’s prime wasn’t wasted by Brett Brown and the all-time Game 7 choke artist in Doc Rivers? Giving Embiid the right coach to help his team get over the hump would be great. What if the 76ers put Embiid in a situation that LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Giannis Anteteounmkpo have enjoyed? Having two All-Star teammates instead of just one! They had Simmons before flipping him to the Brooklyn Nets for Harden, Lo and behold, Embiid won MVP honors in his first full year with Harden as his teammate. Since losing Butler in 2019 free agency, the 76ers have failed to supply Embiid with a third bonafide superstar. What if we told you that Embiid’s average of 24 points per game in the postseason are higher than Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Isaiah Thomas, Wilt Chamberlain and Tim Duncan? Nobody that people called chokers. Like Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons, the 76ers can’t get past the second round to save their lives.Īnd yet, the heat always seems to unfairly fall on the guy who, quite frankly, is the reason the 76ers went from NBA basement to contention in the first place. Despite the talents of Embiid, James Harden, Tobias Harris and ex-76ers stars No team has underperformed in the NBA postseason more than the Philadelphia 76ers dating back to 2018.

So please stop acting like Prescott is the sole issue for the Cowboys’ annual postseason shortcomings. ![]() His coaching staff, defense and o-line haven’t more often than not. Here’s what we’re telling you: Prescott has held up his end of the bargain for the Cowboys in the big games. On top of that, Prescott’s 259.8 passing yards per postseason game were higher than those of Montana, Roethlisberger, Elway, Dan Marino, Russell Wilson, Donovan McNabb and Jim Kelly!ĭid you get all the math down? Good. That number, by the way, is higher than those of the GOAT in Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning, Steve Young, Ben Roethlisberger and John Elway! ![]() ![]() It gets more fun: Through the 2022 season, Prescott had a career postseason passer rating of 92.3. He shouldn’t have taken five sacks nor allowed 169 rushing yards to the San Francisco 49ers in their 2021 wild card round loss. He totally should have stopped the Los Angeles Rams from rushing for 273 yards on 48 carries in the Cowboys’ 2018 playoff loss. He totally should have stopped Aaron Rodgers’ miracle catch to Jared Cook along the sidelines that set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning field goal in that 2016 playoff loss. What a pity! It’s too bad Prescott is the entire reason the Cowboys fall short of the Super Bowl every year.
