2015 NFL Season Talk

[psuexv]

I just read an article that the Steelers get $6 million a year just for their radio rights! Wow! That's a great NFL town unlike Miami which ranks dead last among nfl teams in local ratings. Also, ESPN pays twice as much for the NFL as NBC and yet NBC has the better schedule. Odd. Some interesting national media stuff in this Miami column.

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2016/01/media-column-challenges-difficulties-for-espn-on-eve-of-big-weekend-more-bad-dolphins-news-media-not.html

I have no idea how other team's fans are but I know a lot of Steeler fans that turn off the volume on the TV broadcast and use the radio for audio. Myron Cope was a big reason for this back in the day and I think it's carried over.

[steelerfan]

Steelers: RB DeAngelo Williams not expected to play Saturday against the Bengals due to injured ankle.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah didn't expect him to be able to go in just a week's time with an ankle

3rd string RB again...FTW!

Read a stat yesterday that this will be the 4th time in past 6 playoff openers that the team will be without the starting RB. Next, next man up

[JBHuskers]

Who is the 3rd guy now?

[skipwondah33]

Who is the 3rd guy now?Likely a combination of Todman and Toussaint..which I'm sure you have never heard of either.

[steelerfan]

More worried about 90% precipitation. If the weather is shitty it could be tough to throw and without a running game - sigh.

Todman was in Jacksonville and Fitz Toussaint went to Michigan.

I agree with 1/2 your picks.

The Vikings are losing. I have no idea why you're on their bandwagon.

Steelers/Bengals are a toss-up. AJ McCarron is serviceable enough to get a W at home as I think the Bengals have the better overall team this year. Of all the games though, this game is the one I'm least sure if though.

[Rudy]

I only agree on the Chiefs. I do think Steelers vs Bengals is a toss up. Hopefully all good games.

[steelerfan]

Adam Gase is Miami's 9th head coach since 2004?

Lolololololololololol!

That's Cleveland territory!

[Rudy]

Ouch.

I hope this one works out.

lets see...Lynch is out and so are 2 tight ends for Seattle. Vikings are getting all 4 defenders back that were out of the previous Seattle/Minn. game.
you dont know why ? I explained in the other thread why.
a game where the Bengals are starting a rookie QB is a toss up?

[steelerfan]

McCarron is not a rookie, genius.

Also, go fuck yourself.

[JBHuskers]

Ouch.

I hope this one works out.
He's a great coach. Sad to see him leave as Da Bears OC.

I've seen him ranked as the 6th QB.

Hopefully, this is accurate. Now we just need Ben and DeAngelo to be ok.

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2016/01/report-steelers-antonio-brown-expected-to-be-fine-for-broncos-game/

[cdj]

I've seen him ranked as the 6th QB.

A few weeks ago I think McShay had him #5, but the QB class is pretty weak so it doesn't surprise me. I recall reading something saying that some NFL scouts are saying that they 'aren't going to hold (HC James) Franklin against him.'

[Rudy]

What a crazy finish to Seattle and Minny. Laces out!

[skipwondah33]

Man that's unreal. Sucks for Vikings, didn't want to see Seahawks win honestly. The arrogance will shine through I'm sure like they didn't get extremely lucky

Wonder what hash mark the kicker wanted the ball at? If it would have mattered. Peterson cut the run back across the other direction

[souljahbill]

http://youtu.be/7tV2MHnPJS4

[steelerfan]

For the record, kickers usually want the ball on the opposite hash to their kicking foot. In other words, right footed kickers want it on the left hash and vice versa.

[baseballplyrmvp]

Yep. I thought I heard it at one point that the majority of misses come because kickers push it instead of hooking it.

[skipwondah33]

That kick would have went in had he been on the right hash...the way he kicked it anyway lol. Ah well

Regardless should have been made but hey the Steelers know all about having a kicker nut up on kicks

[steelerfan]

I fucking hate Cincinnati. It has been hilarious and, at the same time, disturbing to see all the whining from their moronic fanbase today.

Which one, exactly, of these stats says they deserved to win?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160111/8389fc62f29a7e3cc04f49ba0a90a69f.jpg

And, instead of admitting that their defense is a bunch of thugs who got what they deserved, they are playing the victim card.

"The refs had it out for us".

Pittsburgh: 10 penalties, 142 yards
Cincinnati: 8 penalties, 79 yards

Oh, really? GTFO!

[JBHuskers]

WOW....

Raiders owner is going to pursue moving to San Antonio if the LA deal falls through.

Isn't Oakland a better identity for that team than LA even? Moving to San Antonio is really going to change the identity, and piss off a lot of people.

[bdoughty]

Yeah that would be a head scratcher. You would be better off moving the team to Mexico City than San Antonio. Only minuscule bit of logic would be the share the same colors as the Spurs.

[steelerfan]

The Raiders, like the Cowboys, are very popular with Hispanic-Americans. San Antonio has a large Hispanic population.

Oh, really? GTFO!I keep hearing that as well among people who aren't fans of either team. That the "Bengals were playing the Steelers and the refs" and it was one side officiating, etc, etc. There were missed calls on both sides like there always is in every game. Pass interference on Allen to set up Bengals 1st touchdown. Non-call on Bengals CB when he did the same thing against Brown on a pass in the game.

And double fuck Pacman Jones for saying Antonio Brown faked being knocked out. Replays of people being knocked unconscious are difficult to watch...and he definitely appeared to be knocked out to me...or maybe just likes to let his body and head slam to the ground uncontrollably

So does Mexico City by about 8 million. :P

Two NFL teams in Texas is enough. Just put the Raiders back in LA. I have no clue how well San Antonio would support a football team. So many of the population are Cowboy fans and a few Houston Texan fans. You want to fuel some rivalries, a Mexico based NFL team, especially one as hated as the Raiders would make for some great border trash talk.

[JBHuskers]

It's just so weird. The Raiders identity is Cali not Texas.

St Louis should keep a team. Raiders and Chargers in LA get my vote.

There may be 8 million people but it takes money to go to an NFL game (not to mention big business to buy up the suites). Not only that, how long would it take for 53 millionaires to get kidnapped for ransom by one of the cartels? :)

The Cartel's would be the owners of the team. They would never kidnap the guys buying up the suites. It would also be a step up from the Al Davis days.

[JBHuskers]

Great move by Da Bears that they have promoted QB Coach Dowell Loggains to OC. Keeps continuity on what was a much more efficient offense in 2015.

[steelerfan]

NFL: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger very likely to play, WR Antonio Brown "not looking good" to face Broncos - sources*-via ESPN.


Even though the genius, Pacman, is convinced Brown was faking it. STFU, dickhole!

[steelerfan]

Burfict suspended for the first 3 games of 2016 for repeated violations. Well deserved.

[skipwondah33]

Even though the genius, Pacman, is convinced Brown was faking it. STFU, dickhole!Yeah he deserved a Grammy award for his ACTING performance.

A fucking Grammy award! He and "Jerry" Porter

[steelerfan]

Other articles I've read at Steelers Depot showed that AJ Green false started on the Bengals last TD. After the play, their RB taunted William *** (shown in another article).

In addition to this, David DeCastro said that Burfict spit on him during the game. The article, written after listening to a DeCastro radio interview, doesn't say when it happened but I specifically remember DeCastro being on his back at one point and going from "zero to sixty" in an attempt to kick a Bengals player standing over him. I have the game on my DVR, I'll see if I can find it because I would bet that was it.

The point of all this is simply to reiterate what a shitty bunch of thugs the Bengals are and to say "cry me a river" to the Cincinnati fans who think all the calls didn't go their way.

Fuck them, their shitty city, their chili and their fucking joke of a football franchise. You used to have Jerry Springer as your mayor. Enough said.

Breaking: Rams to relocate to Inglewood, CA; Chargers have a year to negotiate deal to join them – ESPN, media reports*-via ESPN.

[steelerfan]

The common denominator between the Cardinals and Rams leaving St. Louis is that they both came from somewhere else before arriving in St. Louis.

Of course, the Cardinals started in Chicago and the Rams came from LA via Cleveland.

Maybe there's a lesson there in stealing someone else's team.

Note that both teams that left LA started somewhere else too.

[Rudy]

I'll be rooting for the Chiefs for sure. Cardinals should win easy. Rooting for Panthers. Steelers and Broncos is interesting. How will Peyton play? Antonio Brown and Big Ben are both needed and need to play big against that defence.

[baseballplyrmvp]

Ram, you can't pick the Seahawks since you were already WRONG about them not making it past the first round.

[souljahbill]

He picked all road teams with the top 4 teams playing at home. Pittsburgh has the best chance if Big Ben and Antonio Brown both play. Seattle probably has the 2nd best chance but will probably lose. I don't see Green Bay or KC winning. All 4 home teams winning is far more likely than all 4 road teams winning at this point.

Much was made about how Al Davis looked like the Crypt Keeper in his later days. That was some hilarious stuff. However, his boy Mark may have him beat. Motherfucker is a riot to look at. I can never tell if he's trolling or if he really wants to look like Lloyd Christmas.

In a related topic, how tall is Mark Davis? He looks like he may be 5' or less. Seeing him at the podium yesterday and then getting interviewed (where the camera man had to lift the camera over the heads of women to point it down at him) was fan-fucking-tastic. :D

Since 2010, the Seahawks are 5-2 when trailing by nine points or more in the postseason. The rest of the NFL is 6-41 during that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

[baseballplyrmvp]

I think Seattle wins by 13 or more in this game. We're the healthiest we've been in a long time. And I think we have more favorable 1 on 1 match ups this game. Carolina's secondary doesn't have enough quality depth to keep the Seattle WR's in check. After Josh Norman, they've got no one. Seattle moves Doug Baldwin all over the field, Kearse is also sure handed, Lockett has the big play downfield speed.

Defensively, we're red hot. We didn't have Bobby Wagner when we lost in week 6 and we got rid of the terrible Cary Williams. I don't see Carilina putting up more than 21 in this game.

[JBHuskers]

Now this is just cool.

Hopefully there's not another one made for the late game but at least the Steelers have plenty of excuses. :)

[baseballplyrmvp]

I give Carolina credit, they came out fired up while we came out flat. Hope we can turn it around in the 4th.

[steelerfan]

Poor coaching by Seattle. They had multiple chances to make it a one score game before that last field goal.

In the first half, they could have had a short field goal and instead went for it on 4th and 5.

Since they did not get that field goal, they should have gone for two on the second and third (if they first 2 was successful) touchdowns.

[steelerfan]

Well, dammit.

VERY proud of how Pittsburgh fought today, being so shorthanded and I'm really looking forward to next year. They essentially played without 3 All-Pro's today (Pouncey, Bell, Brown) and another (Williams) who I believe would have been a Pro Bowler if he had started every game.

I hope the Super Bowl is Denver and Arizona but I suspect it won't be. Whatever the case, as long as New England doesn't win again I'm fine with it (don't care to see Scam Newton win either but it'd be better than Brady).

[skipwondah33]

3rd string RB....figured would come to haunt eventually. Game right there

On another note all the divisions games were decided by 7 points or less

[steelerfan]

Also, for those who don't regularly watch the Steelers, did you notice how clean this game was? The Steelers do not play dirty, it's the fucking thug Bengals (their defense, largely). Even though the Cincinnati fans and those who hate Pittsburgh will have you believe otherwise, is the Bungles that are the problem.

[Rudy]

I can't see Denver beating the Patriots. They were lucky to get past a short handed Steelers team. Manning doesn't have much left.

[SmoothPancakes]

If Denver plays anything remotely like yesterday, New England is going to horsefuck them next weekend. I honestly am not looking forward to next Sunday after how awful Denver played last night. It was an absolutely pathetic display.

[souljahbill]

I don't know. Pittsburgh is good enough to beat the Patriots and the Broncos. Had they played the Chiefs, they'd be on the AFC championship game.

I have the home teams. I think Denver can has a better chance than y'all are giving them credit for. It's not like New England is a dominant team.

[skipwondah33]

I think Denver can definitely win

Some guy named Osweiler won in New England.

And not like the Patriots have this awesome Defense they can rely on. They surely can be ran on

Both Defenses looked bad against short handed Steelers Offenses in Week 1 and last week so that shouldn't be any indication if what's to come. Not many teams possess those weapons.

[JBHuskers]

I think Edelman is the difference. 10 catches last week after being gone for a while.

[steelerfan]

Screw Denver. I hope Peyton doesn't get another championship.
I'm not rooting for Manning, I'm rooting against Brady.

You should be ashamed of yourself, rooting for a QB to possibly win more Super Bowls than Bradshaw.

And not like the Patriots have this awesome Defense they can rely on. They surely can be ran on

Both Defenses looked bad against short handed Steelers Offenses in Week 1 and last week so that shouldn't be any indication if what's to come. Not many teams possess those weapons.
I hope Denver does win but that first meeting between Denver and New England doesn't mean much either because the Patriots were so beat up.

Pittsburgh was 21st in total defense and they'd still be playing if they were healthy. Hell, if Ben, Brown, Bell, Bryant and Pouncey played every game this year they'd probably be playing at home this weekend and would be the favorites to win the Super Bowl.

Point is, defense is not as valuable as it used to be.

I tell you the media really would have you believe Pittsburgh fielded the worst Defense in the history of the NFL this season. Know it wasn't the best but the amount of sacks and turnovers accumulated was definitely nice to see give the past 3 or 4 seasons there wasn't many of either.

They were 5th against the run and 30th against the pass, I believe. But, definitely, the splash plays were the difference. Sacks and turnovers had dried up for the last few years. 48 sacks this year and I can remember 3 interceptions in the end zone (Cardinals, Bengals, Browns). The defense made some plays at the right time and with as much youth as they have you'd hope we'll see more improvement.

The run defense was definitely an improvement as well. Past few years seem like teams were able to run and throw at will. Coupled with the fact that the pass rush didn't get any pressure or force turnovers. Would like like to see the CB's tighter forcing more difficult throws since the pass rush can't always be relied upon, but that goes against the scheme. Still for a first year with a rebuilding defense definitely cannot ask for any more than they had this season. Was refreshing to see.

Penalties also seem to be down

I'm hoping Blake and Allen are gone. I'd love to see Boykin come back but I'm being he can't wait to leave after being under-utilized.

The penalties were definitely down, though I haven't looked at the numbers.

As a Saints fan, I can tell you, having something resembling a defense is paramount. Our whole defense was diarrhea water.

I agree. But, times are changing and I believe you can win with an average defense and a high-powered offense.

[souljahbill]

I agree with that 100%

[steelerfan]

I agree with that 100%
Yeah, like I said above, the Steelers were 21st in total defense but I believe they would not only be playing this weekend but playing at home IF it were not for a bunch of injuries and suspensions on offense (Ben, Bell, Brown, Bryant, Williams, Pouncey). I believe that without thinking their 21st-ranked defense would have to have been any better than it was.

The Saints were 33 out of 32 (Alabama's defense was better). An average defense would have been a Godsend. When we fired Rob Ryan, I tried to tell people that it wasn't the DC, it was the collection of feces the team put out on the field to play D.

[skipwondah33]

The Steelers scheme was actually to limit big plays so yardage wasn't important. Stopping the run and getting sscks/turnovers were preached.

It definitely work though it's nerve wrecking to watch.

Yeah Steeler just judging from watching the games alone, seem to me penalties were down. Of course the most came in the Bengals games.

Yes I want to see Allen and Blake gone. Cortez will be gone as well as he has been a disappointment after getting contract. Anxious to see what the rookie who got injured does, Senquez Golson.

Don't anticipate Boykin coming back, especially not for cheap. Know it was a pain to watch Blake play while he was on bench

[steelerfan]

Yeah, I'm hoping Golson can be the ball hawk he was at Ole Miss and that they can get something from the draft as well as some stronger depth through Free Agency.

[steelerfan]

I'm rooting for the Broncos and Cardinals today. However, I'm about 90% sure New England will win and 55% sure that Carolina will win.

[souljahbill]

I've got the home teams

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, didn't take long for this game to already go to shit. :fp:

[steelerfan]

Good first half for Denver, aside from Hillman not falling on that lateral. Keep it up, Broncos!

[SmoothPancakes]

Despite two touchdowns drives on offense, it's the defense keeping Denver ahead in this game right now. The offense is gonna have to find the end zone a little more in the second half.

Despite the defense playing tough as hell the entire first half, I don't quite trust them to keep it up the entire second half after Tom Brady has been given an entire halftime to make changes to their offense to exploit any potential weaknesses in the defense. I've watched this defense do go in the first half and then get burned to hell in the second half before.

[SmoothPancakes]

Jesus, what a craptastic first drive of the second half. :fp:

[SmoothPancakes]

Shit, old man Manning can run!

[Rudy]

Denver doing a great job on D. Keep it up!

[SmoothPancakes]

Denver doing a great job on D. Keep it up!

That's all they're doing so far. The offense clearly shit themselves during halftime. :fp:

Right now, it's 100% on the defense for Denver to hold onto this lead and win this game. The offense this second half has been beyond incompetent. Almost approaching Ram level of incompetent.

[SmoothPancakes]

Goddamnit. After finally discovering an offense this drive, really needed that touchdown to give the defense breathing room. A field goal is not going to cut it...

[SmoothPancakes]

And this is why that last drive desperately needed to be a touchdown instead of a field goal. The defense is starting to shit themselves this drive. :fp:

[SmoothPancakes]

And this is exactly why Denver needed a touchdown instead of a field goal. The defense is finally breaking down and about to give up a New England touchdown in the final minutes.

[SmoothPancakes]

What a stupid challenge. Even if it's ruled a catch, his goddamn knee was down before the ball came out! You just gifted New England a goddamn first down instead of it being 4th and 6.


Thank god, it was ruled an incomplete pass. But you then go and piss away your second timeout when you may very well need it!

[SmoothPancakes]

Holy shit, they stopped them! And now it's on the hands of the shitty offense to somehow get two first downs.

[SmoothPancakes]

Thanks for literally absolutely nothing offense, you worthless sacks of monkey shit.

[SmoothPancakes]

You gotta be fucking me!

[SmoothPancakes]

For fuck's sake!

[souljahbill]

If only Denver had this defense a few years ago when Seattle killed them in the Super Bowl.

Congrats to your team, Smooth. Good luck in SB 50.

[SmoothPancakes]

Sweet Jesus Christ almighty. Thank god the defense pulled their heads out of their asses long enough for that game winning play, but goddamn, it NEVER should have come down to that damn play.

[skipwondah33]

About that Patriots blow out....

[steelerfan]

I don't think Gronkowski caught that long pass on 4th & 10. Watch the end zone angle again. Glad it didn't matter but it should have been looked at.

[bdoughty]

Well Smooth, nobody said it would be easy but the Broncos are Super Bowl bound. Suck it Patriots.

[steelerfan]

Also, Fuck New England!

Now, let's go Cardinals!

[Rudy]

That game was worth it just for Smooth's reactions lol.
:)

And the NFL has to be loving their XP rules after that early miss. Had a big impact.

[SmoothPancakes]

About that Patriots blow out....

If the defense didn't play the game of their lives (until that increasingly shitty fourth quarter), it probably would have been a blowout. Outside of the first quarter, the first two or three minutes of the second quarter and the first couple of minutes of the fourth quarter, the offense was absolutely useless and nonexistent.

They truly pulled this one out of their asses. Now they have two weeks to unfuck the offense and get the defense healthy, because I can guarantee the defense is gonna have to have another "game of their lives" in the Super Bowl.

[SmoothPancakes]

If only Denver had this defense a few years ago when Seattle killed them in the Super Bowl.

Congrats to your team, Smooth. Good luck in SB 50.

Thanks mate. It feels surreal being back. It actually hasn't even really hit me yet. I'm still de-stressing from this game, the fact that the Broncos are back to the Super Bowl hasn't quite caught up with me yet.


Well Smooth, nobody said it would be easy but the Broncos are Super Bowl bound. Suck it Patriots.

Easy it was not! Honest to god, if the Pats had converted and the game went to overtime, I was turning it off! I could not go through the stress of overtime. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to watch it.

And I concur, suck it Patriots!


Also, Fuck New England!

Now, let's go Cardinals!

Honestly, I'm hoping for Cardinals. I think Denver's defense would match up much better against Arizona than against Carolina. Trying to stop Cam Newton, plus stop their run and passing game on top of containing his fast ass, would be a true bitch for this defense. The Cardinals seem like a much better opponent for this defense to shut down.


That game was worth it just for Smooth's reactions lol.
:)

And the NFL has to be loving their XP rules after that early miss. Had a big impact.

That is one thing that is a guarantee, being able to see my raw emotions and reactions during a game. I don't filter my reactions, I truly live in the ups and downs of the moment of each play of the game.

And I too and praising Jobu for the NFL making the change to the XP rules. That beautiful rule saved this game from going into OT.

[souljahbill]

After this 1st qtr. in Carolina, Denver should be nervous.

[SmoothPancakes]

After this 1st qtr. in Carolina, Denver should be nervous.

Exactly the reason I said I'd rather face Arizona. Carolina is going to be an absolute bitch to stop on defense. And with a useless offense, the defense would about have to singlehandedly win the game like they did today, which isn't going to be possible against Carolina's offense.

Honest to god, I absolutely can see a Denver-Carolina Super Bowl being a repeat of the Denver-Seattle bitchslapping from a couple years ago.

[skipwondah33]

Smooth, I knew the Broncos could win. Just needed defense to show up and Peyton be solid.

Stopped watching the 2nd game at 17-0...but man Panthers looked good.

Watch Brady still win MVP award

[SmoothPancakes]

I will give Peyton credit there. He had no turnovers and played pretty well. They could have used a little better from him as some of those quick 3 and out drives really needed to either be lengthened or even turned into an extra touchdown or field goal.

I am glad Denver has such an amazing defense though. If they didn't have that massive a defensive performance tonight, New England probably wins by 30 based on how ineffective the offense was.

As long as the same defense shows up, and the offense gets themselves sorted out, they have a chance in the Super Bowl. Obviously, as I previously mentioned, I like their chances better against Arizona than I do Carolina, but with a perfect game, they could get the job done against Carolina.

As for the Panthers, yeah, that team is just scary good. There is a reason they ended up going 15-1 in the regular season, they have the talent to back that record up, unlike some past teams who went 15-1 in the regular season, only to lose in the Divisional Round or something.

I stopped watching at 17-0 too, but that's just because the Royal Rumble is starting right now. Arizona better get themselves figured out fast or it could get seriously ugly.

[steelerfan]

I'm going to have to leave the TV off for 2 weeks if Carolina wins. Two weeks of watching Scam Fucking Newton tell everybody how great he is and what a good guy he is (when anyone who can read through bullshit can see that he is a major asshole with a massive ego and an extreme sense of entitlement) will be insufferable.

[skipwondah33]

Tell you what not sure any one picked Carolina to be this way this season after losing their #1 WR early on. Hell even with him.

Pretty wild and cool to see a team with sub par Offensive personnel succeed like this

Also cool to see 2 teams with stellar Defenses going to the SB...I won't say the cliche saying but....

[steelerfan]

Go Broncos!

Good news is even if Scam wins - at least it's not the Cheatriots.

[jaymo76]

I want to see Denver win and Manning hoist one more Lombardi. Can he do it? Based on Denver's D, yes he can. However, it's clear Manning's arm is dead. Manning will not be able to win the game. The team will have to step up and win it for him. Go Broncos!

The Panthers are still surprising people. Mike Shula has done a great job with that rag tag group on offence.

Sounds about right. I'm rooting for Denver but I think Carolina will win it.

I'm going to the annual Super Bowl Party at the Cock & Swallow. I have 4 squares:

CAR/DEN
4/0
5/8
8/6
9/7

Squares were $25 and EVERY score change pays $100. For example, if Denver scores a TD on the opening drive DEN 6-0 would pay $100 as well as DEN 7-0 if they made the extra point.

The remainder of the pot at the end of the game goes to whoever has the final score ($300 is taken out for the food for the party) so if it is a low-scoring game you could win a nice bit of money.

I told my daughter I would split the winnings with her after I get my $100 back (ie we win $1000 then I get $550 and she gets $450) so she has the numbers and will be watching intently at home. :D

There should not be a world where Eli has more Super Bowl wins than Peyton.

Going to get Pizza Hut and hope to miss Lady GagGag do the National Anthem. It's nice to have a Super Bowl not in a dome or played in Florida. All Super Bowl games should be played outside with some sunlight to begin the game.

[jaymo76]

Smooth, I'm pulling for your team. Damn though... this is a sleeper to say the least. I'm all for defensive struggles but this game has no rhythm or flow thus far.

[SmoothPancakes]

Once again the offense is fucking useless. :fp:

If the Broncos would unfuck their offense, they could be winning this game by 20+ points right now. :smh:

I'm sorry, but as much as I love watching Peyton Manning, his ass needs to retire after today and Denver needs to go find a new QB on the free agent market and give Brock Osweiler another year or two to keep building up his skills.

[jaymo76]

Yup, Denver has no pass offense because Manning's arm is dead. The predictable offense... Screen and 3-5 yard outs. Brutal! If Denver doesn't score soon... Carolina is going to win.

[cdj]

Too many FGs by Denver are letting Carolina hang around.

[SmoothPancakes]

Seriously, Denver should have over 30 points right now if this goddamn offense would actually finish drives instead of kicking field goals.

[skipwondah33]

Carolina looks like they are shaving points

[SmoothPancakes]

Goddamn Peyton. :fp:

Honestly, at this point, I'd rather take my chances with Brock Osweiler for the rest of this game. At least he may be able to go two plays without fumbling the fucking ball!

[jaymo76]

14 penalties
5 sacks
5 turnovers... Thus far...

I just want this game to end so I can watch something... Anything else. Watching Denver's offense can cure insomnia! Carolina is just as bad but at least they try long passes.

It's like both teams got together and agreed "hey let's all give Peyton a nice retirement gift

I feel duped by watching this game.

Vegas got in touch with someone...don't care who won, but this game felt off. Type of game Manning convieniently gets in his last game

Edit: also surprised to see the very first hold/PI call of the game with 3:13 to go in the game

Did Ram hack your account? Lol.

Carolina must have let the 15-1, SB winning, greatest team of all time contention talk get to their head. Denver defense is really good, but Carolina sure seems out of sorts tonight.

Come on defense! One stand and it's game over!

Nah not at all just watching as a fan football not either team can't help but feel duped by this game. Sloppy decisions, execution and just odd poor play by both looks like to me.


Just an ugly game but fitting with all the Manning talk

[jaymo76]

It's nice to see Manning get #2. After all the years of no D in Indy now he has nothing left and the Denver D wins him another championship. Now he needs to retire at the end of the game. He has nothing left to give. Go out a winner.

[skipwondah33]

Defense doesn't win championships either BTW many have argued...it didn't help Denver at all this game...




lol

Alright, bring on the 2 hour post game Peyton Manning career highlight show.

Congrats to New Orleans own, Peyton Manning, and the Denver Broncos. Well deserved win.

I will now ALWAYS pick the #1 defense in the Super Bowl.

The Denver Broncos are Super Bowl Champions!!!

Yeah the 10-2 record for the teams with the #1 Defense in the SB kind of tells it.

Wonder if Seattle had #1 D last season?

Denver was the #1 defense in 2015, Seattle was #2.

[SmoothPancakes]

Enjoy!

Oh I'm enjoying it! I am still HIGH on cloud nine right now! Based on how the offense was going all game, I'm still in a state of disbelief that they were able to finish it off.

And GOD I LOVE DENVER'S DEFENSE!

Denver was the #1 defense in 2015, Seattle was #2.

And Seattle SHOULD have won the game but they, instead, made the worst call in SB history.
