Today was a horrible game, just plain terrible. Both offenses with mediocre play, in one side, Manning could not connect for 20 yards to save his life, and was done after the 1st quarter, in the other side Mark Trestman with a play calling that makes Rex Ryan looking like the best OC on earth. OK both defenses were physical and fast, the QB's had no time to throw and the running game was anemic, but anyway, I expected more production from both offenses.
Baltimore's offense is hot garbage and know without Suggs I seriously consider them a 8-8 team at best. I need to check their schedule but Jump ball Joe has no resources right now.
Denver is in a delicate situation. Manning is done and I think they will have to move on from him during the season. I though he was really in his last stretch but could still throw a couple TD's and engineer some drives, scoring 27 points average and not 35+ anymore, but things looked ugly yesterday. At the same time they have a good defense, a good kicker, they are going to win some games, they can't simply suck for a high draft pick, they won't be drafting in the top 8 unless they flat out suck purposely, but suck for who? Might as well se what they have in Brock.
I think we will see a blowout Thursday, worst than week 4 last season.
