Emmanuel Sanders had a verbal agreement with KC. NFL should have made him honor it. Such bs.

I disagree with this. If that was the case, the Pats would never have gotten Rodney Harrison.

So you think that by producing a less decisive victory over Cincinnati (who played without their top offensive weapon) than the Patriots proves they are "top tier"?

In some quarters that called extremely IQ challenged.

I've never heard of Rodney having an agreement elsewhere, can you explain?

Froob said:

Verbal agreements are enforceable in the court of law. Perhaps the NFL it isn't the same but it's ******** the league didn't step in. At very least Sanders and his agent broke a big time "unspoken rule." Must really suck to watch Sanders kill it at Mile High for Chiefs fans.

As far as the NFL is concerned, "Signed contract or it didn't happen" is the rule. [Remember, among other things, the NFL needs to make sure the contract is valid; they have rejected some contracts in the past.]

Did you even get his point? The Pats lost Mayo on Sunday and had one unpadded practice to adjust to losing the captain of their defense. That is a lot for any team. Do you really think the Broncos' defense would just keep rolling on Thursday night if they lost Miller last night for Thursday's game?

I get his point. Its a good thing they WERE playing the Jets.
You want to get my point now????
Go look up the Pats run defence when Mayo was playing will ya?
Get back to me on that.

You mean the Jets that played both the Packers and Broncos down to the wire? The Jets may be 1-6, but they have played a lot of good teams tough this year.

Plus, it is a Thursday game where everything is out the window. And it is a division game where the Jets almost always play the Pats' tough.

You are making way too much about one game.

We was with the Raiders to sign a contract when Belichick called him. He basically walked out on the Raiders and jumped on a plane to fly to New England.

Pardon me Professor Einstein. You think a 27 point victory is less impressive than a 26 point victory.
Please explain professor. I got all day.

27 point shut out I might ad.

The advantage Denver has is it was bad in 2008, 2009, 2010, and average in 2011. They had early round draft picks and multiple first round picks in drafts over the 5 years leading up to Manning arriving. This allowed them to draft elite talents like D Thomas and Von Miller. These are players we are never going to draft because we consistently draft at the end of the round.

LOL. Who originally owned the pick Denver used to select DeMaryius Thomas? Hint: They play their home games in a location near Walpole, MA.

It's the Raiders. Can't say that I blame him.

Did the Broncos win the super bowl last night?

In 2003, the Raiders were actually good.

Patradomous said:

I never said they sucked. I'm pissed because they could have a much better roster at many levels.For the life of me i cannot understand for the like 3rd richest sports franchise in the universe you got money under the cap for a once in a lifetime QB. EOS

You and Manning have at least one thing in common:



What a fail thread.

In 2003- the season after the Bucs laid waste to them in the SB, their coach lost the locker room - something which was brewing during that SB week - and they lost 8 of their first 10 games, Gannon got hurt, and they ended up 4-12.

I think Harrison chose wisely.

How dare anyone else in the NFL have a team that is better than the Patriots?!?! Its not enough that the team has had a legitimate shot at winning the superbowl ever year for the past 15. They should have the undisputed best roster every year but haven't because Kraft is cheap.

They win the SB every time they win. Pats on the other hand when they win a close game you get posts like "They're going nowhere in January" or stuff about the draft of free agency. And when they lose a game you you'd think they were the raiders or jaguars.

And Patriots fans would have hated a Demaryius Thomas pick for almost two full seasons. Thomas had a year where he was no good and another year where we don't know if he was any good because he was playing in a college-level offense. Peyton hand-picked the Broncos in time to reap the benefits of the Demaryius Thomas pick, without putting up with any of the growing pains that Brady would have had to.

Ahhhh actually it wasn't due to any pressure. I'd actually watch the game before posting any comment.

Also, penalties extended Jet drives on Thursday. So what?

Yards were a function TOP. Deciding the game was a function of the scoreboard. Keeping an offense off the field does little if you can't keep them off the scoreboard.

Besides, the Jets game has zero bearing on the game in two weeks. What question has to be asked is how is Manning going to convert 3rd downs running like Geno. Also, considering how poorly the Denver offense played last year in Foxboro.........what can a less talented offense do better against a much better Patriot secondary?

Actually..If you had watched the game you would have known that the play before the broncos sacked geno inthe endzone and the refs missed a safety call... The threat of pressure will make many qbs hurry their throws next time, esp in his own end zone. Either way dont you think trying to discredit a teams pick 6 or victory is a bad look? If it was revis would you do that?

And when referencing penalties i wasnt referring to extending jets drives i was talking about the one sided officiating. Denver was penalized for over 100yds but even worse is the jets were penalized fot 9 total yds... The jets came into that game as most penalized but only called for 9yds that game... That comes off as home cooking but as a rival fan i am guessing you will decide it was legit...

My larger point is that the details dont mean much. Both the pats and broncos won.

As for your question of how manning will convert on 3rd down?.. Id figure the same way he did in the afccg. Why is denver less talented offensively? The receiving targets are better. If you want to overhype knowshon then call it a wash if you wish but who cares if the offense is still lethal but with a better defense?

Im not here to bash NE i think they have a good team and are indeed a threat. Im not really a trash talker on forums. I generally lurk with an occasional comment. I just wanted to make a remark about the jets game.

This is a contender for worst thread of the year.
