As an add-on - Moore has been placed on IR for 8 weeks and the Broncos have signed Michael Huff as a replacement.
Looking at it, I certainly wasn't comfortable, maybe semi-comfortable
Smith = ok = average, yep that's what I meant, but I'm just not going to be content with our D until we, say, keep the likes of Brady...........quiet, we'll see next week anyhow, but I'm hopeful
Injuries are unreal this season, and not just us, other teams are banged up aswell.
I guess the team that wins the SB will be the team that has all their main players intact !0 -

I'm glad I made the decision to keep Ball in the game
:pac:, fair play he had a big one.
KC gave us their A game & we had to fight hard for the win. Very proud of the win as they had to dig deep, especially when you consider the injuries (DRC, Walton, Kuper, J.Thomas, Wolfe(seizure), Vickerson, Clady, Bailey (limited) etc), missing our HC & then all of a sudden we're 21-7 down !
Apart from the two picks, Manning was freaking awesome (I hate that word but it's justified here). His throws were on the money and he looked sharp. Decker had a huge night and one that he will remember for a long time.
Onwards & upwards.0 -
Big win for the Broncos - it took a while for both the offence and defence to get into their stride but when they did they were effective. I think the defence missed Wolfe and DRC and need both back - although Wolfe's health is clearly a concern. He got food poisoning in training camp - lost 15 pounds and has not been able to put it back on - it looks like there might be some underlying issues that will need to be addressed.Morrisseeee wrote: »I'm glad I made the decision to keep Ball in the game:pac:, fair play he had a big one.

For fup sake, wtf happened, fuuuuup:mad:
/just when I was getting confident of our chances, they go and do that !! Not surprised about our D, they've been below average all year and we needed a big performance out of them last night.
Fair play Chargers, ye were the better team.
Just seen the highlights there now, and I can't believe the scoreline ! I'm guessing their D really stepped up ! and we've fcek all rushing yards ! It looks like they ate up loads of playing time and limited us to 21 minutes. We had a 22% efficiency on 3rd down !
I'm not so sure that home field advantage is something that's absolutely necessary, esp after last year & last night's performance ! What I mean by that is, we're beatable at home in the big games.................and that's very disappointing.
FWIW I think the Pats will lose one more game but does it really matter, ie. we really have to step up a level now and get super consistent from here on in regardless of where we end up playing.
There's only one thing for it now.....................bouncebackability :pac:0 -

PFM : 51 TDs < superlative
That's his 2nd 50 with 2 different teams and 10 years apart, pretty amazing.
/I've lost count of his & the team's other offensive awards/records
I tip my hat to you Mr. Manning, it's been a real pleasure watching you these last 2 years, like poetry in motion.
Also : Moreno, he's having a great year, he has become the 1st player in Broncos history and only 23rd in NFL history w/1,000 rush yds & 500 receiving yards. This feat will probably be overlooked by Peyton's achievements unfortunately.
Also unfortunately Miller went down with his knee last night, suspected ACL although he was spotted w/o crutches or an ice bag, so fingers crossed!
We really can't have any more injuries and expect Peyton to carry the team. The D performed well last night, the Texans only had one significant drive. I'm not sure how Bailey/Mincey played as I only saw highlights. Adams interception was brilliant and turned the game in our favor. Manning (& the receivers) then went into overdrive.
Very surprised at the Ravens, I really thought they would give the Pats a good game but Flacco was the old Flacco, and he's having a torrid year. So we now have to win @ the Raiders and secure home-field.
/BTW the F in PFM stands for...........FiftyOne0 -

I'm afraid it's not, Manning never threw 50TD passes before now. He threw 49 with the Colts back in 2004. If you ask me, he should buy Welker a very big present this offseason. Welker's extra TD's got him over the hump and no doubt if he had of stayed with the Pats, then there is no record. Funny how Welker was involved with both records.
Unfortunately purists of the game will looks at this record and see the huge advantage playing at altitude gave Manning. The regular late 3rd/4th quarter burn out of opposing defenses with oxygen deprivation is a massive advantage to the home team. Giver Rodgers, Brees or Brady such a home field advantage and they been wracking up 50+ TD's no problem.
The 2007 record is much more impressive, mainly because it was achieved at sea level and against a tougher schedule and with a less talented WR corp. No doubt he'll probably 'beat' the yardage record of my beloved Brees. But again, Drew did it at sea level, yes a dome might help a bit but certainly nothing like playing at 5,280 feet does.0 -

Yes playing at Mile High is an advantage in that opposing defences do run out of steam late in the game - although these days the medical teams have ways of counteracting a lot of the effects at altitude.
Furthermore - playing at altitude has compounding problems that level the paying field - it can get extremely cold making it harder to throw the ball and the ball is like a concrete brick which makes it very difficult to catch. It can also be very windy which makes throwing any pass voer 5 yds a bit of a lottery. Both of these factors benefit a good ground game that eats up the clock and keeps the opposing offence off the field. This was the primary reason why the Chargers beat the Broncos last week when they had almost 40 minutes of possession and ran the ball 44 times in the game. In contrast Denver ran the ball 11 times for 18 yds and were playing catch-up the entire game. Now the weather wasn't the major factor it was the previous week as the temperature 'only' dropped to about minus 5 degress C with light winds0 -

Actually like kicking, a pass will travel easier at altitude than at sea level. Lambeau and Foxboro get very cold during the winter and Foxboro can be very windy. But I don't see Packers or Pats fans making an issue of that. When the Pats bet the Broncos at Foxboro, it was minus -15c during the game, which made it the coldest game this year.Morrisseeee wrote: »ooops my bad about the 50 TD but the rest.......
All I can say is LOL to all that bullshiit
So you don't like a post and then call someone a troll. Wow, :rolleyes:.
As an avid mountaineer and a qualified Paramedic, I think I'm pretty well qualified to speak on altitude and its effects on the human body and sportsmen.Take the recent FG record, it should be absolutely disregarded because it was kicked at Mile High. Down the years kickers can add an average of 5 yards to their kicks at mile high. So unless Prater kicked a 70-69 Yarder, the record should not apply.0 -
OK I'll break it down for you.If you ask me, he should buy Welker a very big present this offseason. Welker's extra TD's got him over the hump and no doubt if he had of stayed with the Pats, then there is no record. BS

Yes, you are trolling and worse still a jealous troll and you're attacking with the Brady-is-better-drivel
Leave Peyton have his moment in the sun as you'd be better off going back to Brees and telling him to work on his away form
I'm out, as I'm not going to drag this thread into a trolling match and btw ...........ho ho ho have a Merrrrrry Christmas.0 -

Now that we are Miller-lite I hope our chances of a playoff victory or victories are not lessened !! You would have to say that he is a loss though, I'm thinking back to the Pats game and he was instrumental in that first half shut-out, and you know Brady is on high-alert when Miller is around, even if he thinks/pauses (for a second) about Miller then that's our advantage and a loss to Brady as he now has less time to look up-field to find a receiver.
The Q now is how will JDR scheme w/o him ? He's going to have to come up with something special in the playoffs to stop the best team(s) that we will meet !
Back to Manning and the Offense, what a year they had, and it's been an absolute pleasure watching them do it. He won't be around for much longer so you just have to enjoy it as it happens. He can't win the SB on his own, so he's going to need the D/special-teams/officials(:pac:) to help him out.
Here's a good link to his 55 TD's (in 5 parts) broken down via film tape (note: not for Putin
).
Julius took the 1st and record-breaking 51st and had a monster year, and I think he'll be used alot in the playoffs, especially when we're under pressure.0 -
