NFL Division Round Playoff games

I think one affects the other, too. With more arm strength, you don't have to put as much into it and can focus more on keeping your form, etc. Part of the reason why Manning's misfiring all of these throws, I think, is because it takes everything he has just to get the ball that far.

Ahhhh, this makes a lot of sense.

 

[PatriotSeven]

Which is it??

A shotgun with a huge barrel?

 

[OhExaulted1]

Peyton's ducks are very angry at the crowd....

So the storyline before the game was that Manning is healthy after not being healthy for the last month of the season or so. So what will be the excuses for Manning's pathetic first half effort after going 3 for 3 on the first drive? 2 for 13 since. Those are Geno Smith type numbers.

"It looks like Peyton Manning is recovering from being unhealthy"

If Talib keeps playing like this, John Fox might have to send out Welker to cheap-shot him.

lol

Denver Fans are not happy people

Wow. I know they look bad, and I bet the game thread here looked just as bad at various points yesterday, but if nothing else it's still a one-score game in the first half. A little too early to be lining up on the ledge.

Is halftime enough time to teach the Denver receivers to just stop their route (like T. Smith did last night on Browner) on these huge overthrows so it's a DPI?

I am telling you that Elway has a really tough decision in a month. Does he keep Manning and let several key free agents walk or does he keep the free agents and try to get a QB who can win with a solid team around them. He will likely keep Manning, but probably should let him walk.

 

[Kontradiction]

LOL I remember he got really excited one time when the Broncos were about to sack Luck

Yeah. He sounded like he came in his pants a bit.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

So I guess only Ward can hold

 

[PScottman]

A shotgun with a huge barrel?

A Blunderbuss.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Whoa that was a chuck, way inside of five yards

 

[Jackson 2]

Peyton on the phone:

"Flacco, sorry to interrupt your golf. I'm throwing it deep every other play but they're not dropping any flags. WTF dude?? Fix this or no free pizza for you!!"

No, Daddy please help me! You did it for Eli!!!

 

[Rusty Coupe]

Booed off the field. How many deep balls has he missed today? Five?

They're not booing Peyton. They're making duck calls for his passes.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Great job by Herron getting to the edge there. Truly made something out of nothing.

 

[English Patriot]

If Brady's receivers got that much separation deep he'd hit them in their hands. Manning ain't lookin so good lately....

 

[fightingirish595]

If I'm the colts, I wouldn't try to do to much. 14/7 lead at the half on the road, couldn't ask for a lot more. Anything more is just a bonus

The one Torrey Smith caught? Slowing down to draw PI on a ball 8 yards overthrown doesn't really make sense.

Peyton should just gracefully retire...

 

[PScottman]

An offensive holding call??? Is that still in the rule book?
