What I expect from Manning and the Broncos...

[Brady6]

First and foremost I truly don't believe Manning took HGH or if he did he did not follow the directions well. In fact I think people are tarnishing the reputation of a great performance enhancing drug by saying Manning's flabby ass is using it. The only thing that has become more defined or bigger through the years has been his forehead.

Now onto today's game, I expect the Broncos to win, and I expect Manning to play well. Why? Because he has had 2 weeks off and he is able to muster up about 50% of the arm strength that he had back in the early 2000s before his head was surgically reattached to his body.

Next week things take a turn for the worst for Manning as he does not have the extra rest and he returns to the QB that led the NFL in interceptions in less than 10 starts.

Given Manning's inability to play well in back to back weeks, I am rooting for the Broncos to win because I think they are an easier route to the SB than Pittsburgh who would likely get Brown back by the AFCCG.

I expect 2 INTs. But Pitt will need TDs off those TO to have a shot IMO.

You are crazy, you guys own the Steelers and to top it off, you would play them at home, whereas the Pats are, what, 1-5 at Mile High in the last six meetings? The Broncos were also the clearly superior team (compared to the Steelers) this year with one of the best defenses in the league. The answer to your question is Pittsburgh, and it's really not even remotely close. Not that you guys can't beat the Broncos, but you would surely own the Steelers at Gillette.

Don't see the Steelers winning at all but I see Manning getting 3 TDs

HGH is not like analbolic steroids. It does not make you big and ripped. It improves endurance, aids healing, helps MAINTAIN muscle mass as you age, reduces fatigue, and other such effects that are not so easy to define/identify at a glance.

Home field advantage is just too much to overlook.

I absolutely hate the Steelers but find myself rooting for them today b/c when it comes to the Pats and the Playoffs....."there's no place like home"

There are few outward signs, just gigantism which is best shown in the brow and forehead

In case anyone's banking on cold weather for a game in Denver next Sunday - temps in high 40s low 50s next weekend in Denver....

So far there have been no upsets in the divisional round. Usually there is at least one. Hopefully its this game

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

Apparently osweiler is really dinged up, so if manning struggles, they are screwed.

Going to be an ugly game tonight.

First off, Manning definitely did do HGH and I don't blame him. (If a doctor told me after 5 neck surgeries I might after 5 years be able to play catch with my son as long as we stay 5 feet from each other or take this stuff and in 1 year you might be normal, I'd take it. And my normal is not Peyton's normal.)

That said, that was 2011 and absolutely irrelevant now. Peyton Manning is the guy who used to be Peyton Manning. That said, after a long rest he'll be good ... for a while. (I know, I'm old too )Expect him to breakdown in the 4th qtr or in the AFFC.
