Week 3 Chip on shoulder?

[kurtsimonw]

We'll tie both games, we're both so awful.

[kurtsimonw]

This is where the NFL is dumb. Why not let the Broncos player run it back for a TD and THEN decide on the field what the outcome of the play is. Now Denver challenged and if they win, they'll get the ball inside their own 10 instead of what they rightfully should have, a TD. Refs are far too whistle happy.

*: The Patriots are tied with the Chiefs for best defense in the AFC... I'm scoring that as 1.5... if it's scored as 1, then the Patriots and Broncos would STILL be tied

The routine victory over the Raiders was Peyton Manning's most accurate game of his career.  He finished 32 of 37.  That's an 86.5% completion rate.

 

NFL.com said it well.  Manning's season so far has been 'Madden set to rookie level'.

[Dante_Lockhart]

He's going out on a high.

[BOF]

These early season games are like foreplay.  Get to the serious business already.  Just need to keep everyone else healthy now and get Miller back in.  As much as we've done well without him so far, the sooner he's back and in the groove the better.

[leviramsey]

League leaders in INTs thrown:

1. Eli: 8

2. Geno Smith: 6

Lots of picks in the swamp this year.

That is why i dont think you will win it you see.  To carry on with the foreplay analogy, i think you are too hot too soon and will shoot your bolt before playoff time!

Yep, a bit too good. But feck it, I'm tired of the .500 seasons at best after Plummer.

 

And Duke Ihenacho, new fav player, love his play at Safety minus the odd crap tackle. Hopefully his ankle is not too messed up

I get you and that is a concern, but tbh I think there's something in what Dante says. Peyton's career hasn't got long left and I just get the feeling he's going to coast through this season (ALL of it) because it's almost like he knows this is his swan song and the pressure is off in a weird way. We're winning like this at a time when the offence is still learning how best to utilise Welker. And while our best defensive player is missing. So in that sense there's still more to come.

Arguably the second best as well in Champ.

[BOF]

Good point well made. Yes, our 2 best defensive players.

[kkr]

Agree with a lot of that to be fair and if you are still playing your best football in week 15-17 and avoid the upset after the bye/wildcard round there should be no stopping you.  Long way until it gets to that stage though!

[BOF]

Long way until it gets to that stage though!

Oh you don't have to remind us We're just as acutely aware of Peyton's past as you are

[kurtsimonw]

Think Denver could do with losing a game in the next few weeks. If you go late in the season with a 0 in the loss column then the pressure will be too much in the playoffs, in my opinion.

[kkr]

Agreed with that also.  Giants would have been a perfect scenario so thanks for nothing! lol

[BOF]

Yeah I think we could do with that loss later in the regular season just so it's fresh in the minds going into the post-season. No point going 4-1 and it being a distant memory when it matters.

[kkr]

Yeah somewhere around week 10-13 would be ideal or one now and one then.
