ESPN: Broncos faced more adversity, will win AFCCG

[everlong]

Bill should have Rodney some in and give the pre-game speech. Nobody played up the disrespect, nobody believed in us card like Rodney. Of course maybe he's been too Dungy-fied.

Stealing my ideas now?

I'd take a 100% healthy Gronk over all of the broncos injured players.

combined.

Nope, but I bet they do when a million idiots click on it.

Without even clicking on the link, I called it that this was a Jeffri Chadiha column. He has been a Broncos rump swab and Patriots doubter for a long time now.

 

[Guts]

Funny he says the Broncos are motivated from the Baltimore loss yet fails to realize the Patriots have their own playoff demons to exorcise since 2006. A motivated Brady >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> motivated Manning. Tom's heart and will to win is the most powerful the NFL has ever seen. Broncos facing more adversity as the Patriots?? I'd like to see manning lead his team to 12-4 while losing Welker, D Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Decker murdering someone while on defense losing Knighton, Treyvathan, Von miller(who is out) and Woodyard(also out?) then tell me they've faced more adversity then the patriots.

 

[PattieswinSB]

Both teams trying to out-Nobody believes in us.

 

[VJCPatriot]

LOL, I like the lack of respect. Being the underdog fits this team's mentality better. And as for adversity - we've lost more starters than the Broncos and I remember a certain EPIC come from behind victory against Denver. We KNOW we can beat those guys!

Denver's win against San Diego also wasn't that impressive of a performance by Manning. It was more the Chargers offensive incompetence than anything else.

Well, to be fair, having Peyton as your postseason QB is generally a lot more adversity than having Tom.

OMG, that GIF or whatever you call it, is hysterical!!

 

[ThatllMoveTheChains!!!]

Did they remember to mention the horrible schedule disparity that the Broncos had to overcome?

 

[Danger Zone]

I was listening to some radio commentator gush about how Manning is the greatest ever... and a big part of his argument was hinging on the miraculous and awe-inspiring comeback Manning has had from his neck surgeries.

Im sorry, but its no different than having your ACL/MCL torn out. You either heal or you dont. Both Brady and Manning went out with a season ending injury. Both recovered.

I just don't see why having NECK surgery instead of surgery on your knee makes you the GOAT to quarterbacks. :eyeroll:

Sorry, I just don't see why having NECK surgery instead of surgery on your knee makes you the GOAT to quarterbacks or where it should even have enough weight to even be considered a tie-breaker between the three or four quarterbacks in the conversation .:eyeroll:

OMG this is the best gif thing ever

Brilliant gif! Brilliant! :rocker:

When Skip Bayless is the most reasonable person on ESPN in regards to the Patriots/Broncos AFC game and in general....ESPN might have a problem.

THIS

And it's been this way for about two years now, since the 2011 Packer hysteria.
Thats why I don't get all the hate for Skip.

I didn't follow him earlier so maybe he has reputation issues from way back when, but in the last two years that I've known him, I just don't see the troll everyone else apparently does.

He was the only one anywhere saying the Pats would climb back and go to the Superbowl fairly early in the 2011 season.

Skip Bayless is the only man on television that remembers early on every year that the Patriots pre-Thanksgiving and post-Thanksgiving are going to be two completely different football teams, and his early forecasts and long term predictions benefit a lot from that. All the other numbskulls write us off in week #4, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, then are amazingly shocked in week#12 when we're rolling people.

I just don't know how these people keep jobs.
