The Official Denver Broncos Thread

I think he'll come back next year and they will make the playoffs but he, and the rest of the players, need to realize he can't carry them by himself.

He's had a hell of a mentor to. If he isn't NFL ready by the time Peyton steps down there is no helping the kid. Hope you're taking notes Brock.

Denver might need to let Von walk. The guy completely disappears in big games. And then there's the suspension risk. Of course that depends on the price. But somebody will pay him.

The hit on Peyton by Arthur Jones was weak, Romo got hit in the Dallas game late and in the same spot and no flag. Two straight plays Denvers dbs were holding Hilton and Fleener by the jersey as they made their cuts, no flag. If we had lost it would not have been due to officials, but I have little doubt the league wants certain match ups and try to make those happen.

No kidding. It's not just that his pass rush was non-existent, he was giving up the edge on run plays, too.

That's about as dirty as it gets. It's the Tom Brady rule. You can't lunge at QBs legs.

Why are you talking about officials? Colts got tons of calls. Broncos got screwed on the punt fumble and the sideline catch where Sanders got pushed before the ball got there so he couldn't land in bounds, which ended a drive. 2 very big calls in the 2nd half.

Calls missed both ways. Don't know why you would be the one complaining.

I didn't realize how many were declined. 2 penalties for 8 yards? Talib had 3 penalties by himself, I think.

2 missed holding calls is not a conspiracy man. That happens in every game.

Wow,Torn Right quad. Hard to step into a throw with that type of injury. You got to have your legs under you too make a strong throw.

It makes sense. He was't playing nearly as well.

Right, even when his arm has sucked, he still threw an accurate 30 yard floater. That went away in the last few weeks. It also explains why the Broncos tried to force the run when it wasn't working. I couldn't understand why they didn't come out with the no-huddle spread yesterday after the first half.

Honestly, it gives me some hope for next year. The way he was looking, I thought Manning should just retire, but if he can look like he did the first ten weeks of the season, or so, he could make a run at the SB. It's even possible that one more year removed from the neck surgery that he gets a little more strength back in his arm.

We'll see.

That numbers are straight from the NFL website.

Just curious, not trying to rub it in but what happens to your fandom if Peyton retires this year?

I know the numbers are legit. They don't include penalties that are declined.

I don't know what I'll do. Probably Cardinals, just cause they are my home team now (I would stick with Broncos if I still lived in Broncos market).

I've watched every Cardinals game for the last 3 years. It's possible I watch a lot of football without being fanatical about any team. I just love the sport. I like a lot of teams to do well. Broncos, Cowboys, Falcons, Titans, Cardinals, and Colts. I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of any of them, other than the current Broncos, but I enjoy rooting for all of them.

Curious where you stand on this, is the officiating making it harder for you to watch or you good with the current way games are called?

Officials are going to make bad calls. No perfect system. I hate when they take 2 minutes of replay to make a bad call, but overall the game has sped up, so that's not a reason to stop watching.

I get pissed about calls, but they are just going to miss some. You have to account for that. Don't let the game be close enough where one call makes a difference.

The thing that pisses me off the most about the Cowboys call is that it robbed us of an exciting ending. Who didn't want to see Rodgers with a chance for a last second comeback victory? The refs were f-ing stupid, and they ruined the game from entertainment standpoint.

I agree with all that and let me clarify. I don't really blame the refs I blame Godell and the league for making everything a penalty i want to see all DBs being able to play a little physical down the field, basically they have to let the WR catch it then tackle him. And on that Dez play the rules are too complex, there should not be so many things that define a damn catch, is it a catch yes or no, no rule book should be needed for that

Well, there it is. Now is Manning a hero for playing through that injury as an old man, or is he still a goat?

What's the general recovery time on one of those though?

I'm just wondering whether it might have been better for him to rest and heal rather than try to play through it until the playoffs.
