Official Doncos v Steelers game thread

[Fixit]

This field goal contest is riveting. When does the game start, though?

The Steelers are pitiful. They were horrific in that last drive.

 

[Mark.]

That 3rd and 11 call was playing scared. Sideline throw into double coverage. Brady would have gone down the seam for a first down.

You can only throw those if you're accurate and Manning is not.

Starting to get the feeling Denver wins this if Pitt doesn't do something meaningful this next drive.

Haha, Peyton's throw was so bad they wrongly assumed it was tipped at the line.

I truly don't understand why Osweiler is still on the bench.

Kubiak is honoring Wade Phillips '99 decision to play Johnson over Flutie. Lightning doesn't strike twice right?

 

[turkeyneck]

HAHHAHAHAAHAH

"Oh looks like it was tipped!"

Then they play it in slow mo and its obviously an insane duck thrown by Manning.. and they're like "Wow i guess it just got away from him funny..."

Then Simms starts explaining how its the "tough" part of the field into the wind etc, instantly covering Manning's ass after a laughable throw

And that exchange, over and over, game after game, season after season, is why Peyton receives so much animosity here.

Well, that and the special rule changes that have sissified the game.

I am feeling better and better no matter who we play. I think Pitt is the more dangerous team but we get them at home. This Manning lead O can't score unless they get turnovers.

Or generous calls.

It's crazy but I'm starting to think Denver would be the easier game. The Steelers can compete without Antonio Brown. What would a healthy Edelman do to this team.

You know they will. Pitt needs to start pulling away like now.

 

[Joseph K. Brady]

In Adventures of Superman 440, Superman determines his identity, calling him Mr. Wayne. Batman then replied that even though he lined his mask with lead, there were probably other ways that Superman could determine his identity. So it was established but I don't know if that has stuck for this adaptation. Characters like Hugo Strange have already figured out Batman's identity yet he stills keeps up the act around them.

You can tell when someone's changing their voice when reading a comic?

Manning before the game: "I feel real good. Healthiest I have been in a very long long time...."


- oh my, THAT'S your HEALTHY form? HOLY 5HIT!

Great protection and completion.

I wonder what our resident Donkos troll @Interception has to say about this game so far?

 

[Guts]

Broncos Front seven haven't gotten to Ben today. So much for best defense in the league.

Yeah, if they don't do something Denver will get the ball back on the 40 gain 10 yes and kick another field goal for the lead.

To be fair, considering no Brown and a bad arm on Roethlisberger, they've moved the ball pretty well on Denver. Should've had the ball on the 1 yard line if they called Talib's DPI in the end-zone.

Kinda a natural reaction -- always want to play the team that loses.

Well either way whoever wins i'm sure he'll be on to tell us how the Pats will lose.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Finally a flag.
