Make sure you all remember to sync your game with 98.5. I can only imagine the kinds of things Simms and Nance will be saying about Manning and they'll be talking about all the things DEN must do to beat NE but not the other way around. The world is scared sh*tless that NE will win another SB and they don't want to see it. It's not just because of their visceral hate only. It's because they're running out of reasons and excuses. They're not taping people anymore, the balls have all been properly inflated and inspected, the headset thing is happening everywhere and other myths have all been dismissed as silly anecdotes. What will be the reason they won it this time, if that's what happens?
Anyway, I'm not looking past DEN, especially not at Mile High. This is what I was afraid would happen when we lost to MIA. I think that's what makes the injuries to the whole LB corp. scary to me. There is NO WAY BB could have known they'd get hurt, but it's also why his personnel choices the last few games was questionable if HFA didn't matter to the team. Anyway, I am still very confident based on what I saw in both games. Manning has no zip, people. He throws his body into every throw and it's never guaranteed it will get there. That didn't change even though they saved him for the whole second half of the season JUST so he could be playing effectively now . . . at least that was the theory. He looked like the same washed up QB to me.
