And PFM looks like he might be back ...

He didn't have to do much but he did look like he threw the ball well. And as Peyton said, when he entered the game "The line played better, the RB's weren't dropping the ball etc."

Brock just got unlucky. But glad Peyton got to play.

I'd like to see the Sherrif ride into the sunset.

I gotta pull for Peyton for the rest of the playoffs. We all know he's done, but it would be nice to see the GOAT go out on top.

Announced as the starter for the Divisional Playoff game here in a week and a half. Can't imaging going with Osweiler over PFM at this stage and something seems fitting ...the whole 'riding off into the sunset' notion.

In 98-99 Elway missed some games with Bubby Brister starting as back up and then came back to win it all and retire..

Manning could in theory even avenge the 2013-14 season SB loss to SEA if they advance.

 

[Mitchrapp]

There are so much written about "..Coach goes with Manning.." Who the heck are they suppose to go with. Peyton Manning, a HOF QB - Been to SB's etc. I mean everyone knows he's not the same as when he was younger but they make it look like there were other options. Healthy, always Peyton.

Denver's defense will have to carry noodle arm if they're going to win it all.

Noodle arm but still accurate. Sometimes to the other team but still accurate :hehe:

Peyton or Brock, the team wins or losses on that defense.

 

[TheVictors]

The key will be integrating the Kubiak (Shanahan) stretch run/play action with the Manning Pistol/Gun preference.

I've heard that they're finally on the same page and may start with ball control but switch to Mannings hurry up at times. This is what we've been told all along was the plan but it's been a bumpy road.

Brock did well filling in but you're right Mitchrapp, how could you not start Manning? And, given the time off, he's in better shape now than this time last year.


And the Defense is fucking awesome. I love when they're out there ..and is why Broncos need some ball control/run game

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah I think Brock did a fine job too. He might have a great defense but offensively he was pretty good.

Not that it was a big leap...but yeah.

He still makes the team better just based on calling his plays and audibles.

Every good defense needs an offense that doesn't make mistakes, I'll give you that.

He's still good at confusing the defense and changing plays at the line. Great thing about Peyton is he knows this team goes through the defense.

Nonetheless, should have two good games next weekend.
