Good thing for the Broncos that Manning throws tight spirals that just seem to float and wobble to the naked eye.

For what it's worth (and it's worth absolutely nothing), on the Broncos board the current poll results of who would you rather see win tonight are 100% in favor of the Colts, with a total of 0 votes for the Pats.

No love lost between the two team's fans it seems

I'd rather beat the Patriots than the Colts, but I'd also rather win than lose, and I think the Colts give us a better chance at making the Super Bowl if Denver wins tomorrow. And that's another big if.

twice now i have heard on TV that the pats are facing the broncos next week..really?

Oh do I love mixing up a nice drink, starting a fire, and plopping down on my couch to watch a Manning playoff game knowing that we have already advanced to the final four. Go Bolts!

I was just telling my wife the same thing tonight. For the next 18 hrs or so, I'm going to just enjoy the "afterglow" of our victory and try not to even be concerned about next Sunday.

It will be great to just relax and enjoy the game tomorrow afternoon.

...... or Option 3 (when all else fails), select a wide receiver in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

I doubt myself that we'd be looking to take another selection in the draft, unless you're speaking of something in the later rounds when they sometimes throw stuff at the wall to see if anything sticks.

I think most of us would much rather see a guy like James Jones or Emmanuel Sanders targeted for "reasonable" money, if that is an option--of course. I wouldn't think that anyone would be extremely interested in starting over from square one all over again with another high pick rookie who they'd be hoping will get a good enough portion of the system to be somewhat effective.

After all, we'll still be dealing with having to break in all of Dobson, Thompkins, and Boyce for their hopeful 2nd season jump. Throwing another rookie into the mix wouldn't seem to be the best idea to me, but you could be right. When it comes to the draft anyone's guess is as good as the next guy's. I would think that there are many other positions that may be targeted such as OL, DL, S, CB (depending on Talib), TE, or even LB.

Yes, I heard the same. It's totally disrespectful of the Chargers, who by the way beat the Broncos in Denver 5 weeks ago; the only team to do so this season. Yet, everyone's acting as if it's a guaranteed Pats/Broncos AFC Championship game. Hopefully this will piss off the Chargers players even more, and they'll go out and humiliate Manning and send him packing 1 and done for the 9th time in his career.

Stat of the day:Things to do in Denver when your dead.

Are the Broncos dead men walking?


When Denver is 13-3 going into playoffs.


0-4 and all were a Divisional game.

1984 Den (13-3) Div game lost to Pitt 24-17

1996 Den (13-3) Div game lost to Jax 30-27

2005 Den (13-3) Div game lost to Pitt 34-17

2012 Den (13-3) Div game lost to Balty 38-35

2013 Den (13-3) Div game ???????????

Will history will repeat itself??

Re: Stat of the day:Things to do in Denver when your dead.

I hope we don't have to rely on historical precedence:

2011 Divisional game - beat Denver 45-10. Lost SB

2012 Divisional Game - beat Houston 41-28. Lost Championship.

2013 Divisional Game - beat Colts 43-22. ???????

I'm hoping for a trend buster.

Re: Stat of the day:Things to do in Denver when your dead.

SD is loaded on offense and Denvers defense does not impress me.

I think the 2005 game was the AFC championship, not the divisional game.
