Last year, the Broncos picked up Peyton Manning coming from a number of neck surgeries. My team picked up Tim Tebow. Peyton Manning had a great regular season. Tim Tebow couldn't make 2nd string. Tonight, Peyton throws 7 TDs. Tim Tebow isn't in the league. Yup, it's awesome being a Jets fan.

It feels good to be a Broncos fan...

I was pretty pissed at some of the mistakes tonight though like Welker's muffed punt return and Trevathan's early celebration which led to a touchback but for the most part they looked extremely dominant on both ends. I was very impressed with the team's defense especially with Miller out although I think it could be because the Ravens offense just sucks, lol.

I'm a bit skeptical on the team's run game though. I think Hillman should be the starter but they don't trust him due to his horrendous ball security throughout the pre-season. Ball is looking like a possible bust honestly and Moreno is a no strength/no weakness guy.

So, I went to sleep really early since I had to be up at 6 and missed everything. Now I have two questions:

1. Did the Ravens only field a front-7 in the second half?

2. How long did it take Michaels/Collinsworth to say something along the lines of, "You think they can convince Ray Lewis to come out of retirement?"

Well, I just lost my fantasy matchup week 1. Was going against Peyton.

while den looked good

they need to establish a consistent running game to have a chance in the playoffs when it gets cold and harder to pass

Harbaugh not challenging that Welker drop turned the game around. IIRC the Ravens had the lead at that time and would have gotten the ball back against a Denver D that was struggling.

Peyton Manning though...**** GOAT.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

I'm a Lebron fan, not really a Heat fan, I follow where ever Lebron goes. Meanwhile, I have been a fan of the Broncos since Brian Griese and Jake Plummer were the QBs.

I guess you can't have a perfect passer rating if you complete less than ~80% of your passes. Manning's statline is disgusting...

Purple Jesus on the first play from scrimmage.

Maybe we all shouldn't have laughed when he said he wanted 2500.

So Stevan Ridley fumbled the ball and it was recovered a few yards behind by Dan Connolly. Buffalos coach challenged the fumble.

So lets break this down

He wins: patriots gain a yard
He loses: he loses a timeout.


God I love Buffalo.
