You know your teams bad when your kicker does most of the work every game for the offensive. Man the steelers are Laaaaaaazy as hell smdh. Haley & Lebeau, ya'll gotta go.

lol yup. Lions were like that for a long time. Hanson was practically our lead scorer.

 

Funny how times have changed(Freese, Henery, Prater).

[GTA3Rockstar]

 

There really is no Dominant team right now.

if Denver isn't dominating right now, then I don't know what you mean by domination.

not sure if you noticed, but last night he only broke the all-time TD record in another blowout win.

 

 

 

What's funny about all of those with one touchdown receptions from Manning. It was their only NFL touchdown in their career.

 

Finn #36(has a Super Bowl with the Giants. Also, one of two(B Stokley) to catch a pass from both Mannings.)

Insley #83

Roberg #85

Moorehead #85(from Colorado)

Klecko #61(he even has 3 rings and his dad SHOULD be in the HOF) His dad was in Smokey and the Bandit 2, which I was just watching Fast and Loud were they was making the Trans Am from the movie for someone.

Lawton #45

Santi #86

Robinson #47(from Colorado)

Unrein #96(from Colorado)

 

 

 

Some people are dense as f*ck though

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000414182/article/broncos-peyton-manning-shows-hes-better-than-ever

 

This what I told a few of them.

 

 

 

 

Let me get this straight, you're gonna hate on someone who made the playoffs 13 times out of 15 years played('98 and '01, out for 2011 and on his way to 14 of 16)? It's definitely hard to win playoff games when you don't make them.

 

 

Let's have a look at this article.

http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/content/peyton-mannings-9-11-playoff-record-is-call-for-help/20868/

 

1999 vs titans

There was 7 dropped passes by the receivers, one of which was for 30 yards on 3rd and 22. 3 of which were in the fourth quarter on either 3rd or 4th down.

19-16

 

2000 vs dolphins

Fake field goal fail = -3 points

Dropped touchdown pass = -4 points

Dropped pass for first down.

38 yard reception called back by offensive P.I.

17-10 lead with 4:55 left in the game, the DEFENSE left them score on a 80 yard drive. In overtime, there was an offsides call against the dolphins on 3rd and 7. Instead of replaying the down, Vandarjagt convinced the coach he could kick a 49yrd fg. Missed it and the dolphins went on to score the game winning touchdown.

23-17

 

2002 vs jets

Couple missed field goals, KO fumbled for touchdown, 7 dropped passes

41-0

 

2005 vs steelers(the infamous Bettis fumble game)

Went 13-0 in the season before resting after losing their 14th game. Rusty at first, down 21-3 with 1:26 left in the 2nd. They scored making it 21-10 at halftime. Defense allowed an 8 minute drive with two 4th down conversions but no points. Went down and scored a touchdown and a 2pt conversion to make it 21-18. Bettis fumbled late in the fourth, Colts recover and Manning hits two passes for 30yards to set up a game tying 46yard field goal. Vanderjagt shanked it faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar right. Game over

 

2007 vs chargers

Manning hit his first 14 passes, getting up 7-0. Harrison fumbled at SD 23yrd line, SD would tie it 7-7. Losing 14-10, Colts were on the SD 4yrd line and the pass deflected off an open receiver's hands and ended up as an INT. Went up 17-14, defense allowed a long drive to end the 3rd quarter, 17-24. Manning threw a bomb to put the colts up 24-21 with 10 mins left. Then they left Volek drive 78 yards for the eventual game winning touchdown, they was that year's number one scoring defense mind you. Manning drove the team from their own 23 to SD 7, 3 straight incomplete passes to Adai turnover on downs. 90 seconds left and 68 yards to go, 4th and 5 Clark dropped it. Game over

28-24

 

2008 vs chargers

Great punting by the chargers, pinned inside the 10, 19, 3, 7, 9 and the 1. Losing 14-10 at half time but came back 17-14 for awhile. 3rd and 2 with 2:30 mins left, rookie TE Robinson(which also has 1 reception td in his career and its by manning) forgets the snap count and allows a DE to easily get in to sack manning. Punted, the chargers drive down to tie the game 17-17. SD won the OT toss, went 75 yards for the game winning touchdown with 3 defensive penalties on the colts. Sproles had 328 all purpose yards. 23-17

 

2010 vs jets

back and fourth game but 16-14 lead with :53 left. A 47 yard kick return, put the jets in good position. After a run a Colts CB called a timeout for who knows why, which gave the jets more time to get an 18 pass to edwards, ran the clock down to :03 and kicked the gw field goal.

17-14

 

2012 vs ravens

Bad pass protection, deflected pass on receivers hand for a picksix(even though it should've been a def P.I) 88 yard drive to put the Broncos ahead 35-28 with 69 seconds left. Here's the heart breaker(considering I'm a Broncos fan) 3rd and 3, the defense allows a 70 yard bomb to Smith to tie the game 35-35 and a dumb kneel down called with 30 seconds left to put it into overtime. Then a bad bad throw by manning, notice how it's the first time I really say it was a bad move on manning? yes. Across the body throw, Favre-like, intercepted and ravens would kick the game winning field goal.

38-35

 

 

The last super bowl was just bad all around; which he is one of three to start in the Super Bowl with two different teams(Warner and Morton). Bad first snap, bad pass protection for interceptions, defensive penalties giving first and goal, short kick off aided in a ko return for TD, receivers fumbling in opp's territory. Devastating

 

 

 

 

So instead of saying, "Best regular season QB ever." I would like for you to shut the f*ck up, read the facts and not put it all on Manning. You go and win 12+ games every season, make the playoffs 90% of the time. As you can tell, this is about how crappy the team played around Manning when it matters. Dropped passes, deflected passes off receivers hands for interceptions, fumbles turned into touchdowns, missed game winning field goals, giving up a game tying bomb pass. The list goes on and on and hardly any of it was Manning's fault why his team plays so sh*tty when it counts.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I like how this article http://mashable.com/2014/10/20/peyton-mannings-nfl-record-509-tds-in-1-infographic/has been shared 510 times about Manning's record breaker.

[Twilight Sky]

Harrison is still cherishing his 143 reception mark.

[Jonesizzle]

He is also cherishing the fact that some murder charges never fell his way. I think that guy is some kind of criminal kingping. He was a great WR though, him and Manning was a match made in Heaven.

 

You can list all the miscues you want that Manning didn't make, it won't change the fact that if he doesn't pass or tie his brother for super bowl rings then him being the best regular season QB ever will always over shadow Peyton.... which isn't horrible, but statstically he deserves to be the greatest.

I'm surprised you don't see more trick-plays being run on special teams.

 

http://deadspin.com/the-rams-balls-out-special-teams-play-was-brilliant-fun-1648483412

[Jonesizzle]

Not only trick-plays on special teams, but plays that'll determine the game. Very gutsy play calling by Fisher. Imagine the flack he would've got if they failed and lost the game because of that.

[tubbs51]

I wouldn't write the Seahawks off so quickly. All three losses were close and the Hawks always have issues in St. Louis. The rams always play them tough. People don't realize the hawks have had one of the hardest schedules in recent history.

 

On that fumble thing being karma for the hawks is ridiculous. Sherman was called for tripping against the cowboys when he tackled a ballcarrier with an ankle biting tackle. Plus the hawks got jobbed in SBXL.

 

They've had injury issues this year too. Pretty sucky when your backup RB has to play FB cause the only FB on the roster broke his foot in warmups before the game.

That's one thing you get when you play a team that has nothing to lose, gutsy calls.

 

 

 

Unless you're Belichick playing against Manning.

Somebody call the whaambulance. Your being kind with all the loses "were close", especially when they played Cowboys, that score doesn't justify how sloppy the Hawks were and have been. Edited October 22, 2014 by DOOM!

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/115715/2014-nfl-strength-of-schedule

 

Top 10 Strength of schedule based off last year + record this year.

 

1. Raiders .578 0-6

2. Broncos .570 5-1

3. Rams .564 2-3

4. Chargers .563 5-2

4. 49ers .563 4-3

6. Seahawks .561 3-3

7. Chiefs .559 3-3

8. Cardinals .547 5-1

9. Jets .520 1-6

10. Patriots .516 5-2

 

 

Them Seahawks easily could've lost to Denver if we won the coin toss. You guys are just playing terrible, face it. Super Bowl curse shows that the winner of the previous year, won't make/win a playoff game the next. Looks pretty fair again this year.

 

Madden curse too, Sherman, he hasn't played as "dominant" as he has before.

 

I smell a loss in your guys' next game too, in Carolina.

No one is going to be able to convince me ditching Prater was a good call for the Broncos. Awesome for Detroit, but we are going to miss him when it really counts.

[Jonesizzle]

You have the most dominant offense in the NFL, and you're concerned about ditching your kicker? Arguably the most easily replaceable position on a football team. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Edited October 22, 2014 by DOOM!

Our kicker has saved our ass, even in the Manning era, time and time again.

 

Besides, I loved Prater.

If it wasn't for kicking mishaps the Lions could be looking at a 6-1 or undefeated record right now.

 

Don't underestimate the importance of a good kicker. Detroit did and its biting them in the ass.

Well I'm glad he got the record while being with the Broncos but it cleared up some cap room for us.

 

I mean, how hard will it be for McManus to just kick extra points?

 

 

We're just shy of 79% touchdown success in the redzone but I believe we're 100% scoring in the red zone. Can't ever find those stats online, only during games while announcers announce it.

Like I said, you could bring in a handful of kickers and one of them will be great. It sucks losing a great kicker, but you haven't loss Peyton Manning or Mathew Stafford. You can waive your kicker and pick a guy up off the streets to immediately start and he could be a decent kicker.

 

Don't lose sleep. Worry about getting Calvin back healthy to make a playoff push, not kicking mishaps.

I don't see anyone stopping Denver. Toughest game yet is next weekend, though. Going into NE, always going into their stadium!

Last time people said that last year, they got destroyed by the Seahawks.

 

Honestly if Denver wants another Super Bowl, Elway has to come out of retirement.

Except Seattle was being dominent last year, now they're just a "mediocre" group.

 

We have the second hardest schedule and beating teams on an average of 18.5. Our defense is much stronger than last year and as long as we have them playing around playoff time this time, we have a great shot.

Damn Peyton has some moves

[GTA3Rockstar]

That's definitely the southern part of him coming out.

 

 

Need Lions to win. 14-0 Atl right now. Lions didn't even let Prater kick a 54yd field goal, he's money with those!

He's only made 50% of his kicks and banged a 21 yrd off the uprights last week. I'd rather trust our punter Sam Martin.

 

I really hope that they lose this game because of that 2 pt conversion no call.

That delay of game saved them though lol

 

I can see why the Falcons wanted the time to run off, but when it's a delay of game the play does not happen. Either way, the Falcons just blew it 21-0 at half time.

 

 

 

Also, one thing about these London games is, I don't think they should count the game as a home game for either team(Atl was "home").

Falcons had been getting calls their way for most of the game. So I really have 0 sympathy either way.

 

I don't really they should have "home" game either.

[GTA3Rockstar]

I like how early it was, get one game in before the bulk starts. Other than that, couldn't have cared less it was in London.

 

 

 

edit: terrible call but whatever lol

Stupid asses, I had every game picked correctly and then f*ckin Ravens and Panthers allowed a comeback. Everyone but myself and someone picked Sealhawks, which was like a 13-15 point swing but noooooooooo, allowed them to come back to win.
