    Pete Carroll and Bill Belicheck

    They're the exception, not the rule though.

    Shefty just reported that Manning has been playing the past month with a torn right quad. Ow. Maybe that explains the bad throws.
    The dude abides.

    It does. He's arm is already below average since the surgery so he needs his legs to generate more velocity. With a bad leg, he couldn't generate the force needed to make better throws.

    Was getting ready to post that. Couple that with the Colts gameplan...then there you have it

    One of the comments on ESPN.com was hilarious though in regards to this injury

    I don't really count Carroll because he left for a long time, maybe learned some things at USC and came from a successful program to the NFL. Belicheck, yeah.

    The Ravens were caught off guard with the Patriots lining up a RB as an ineligible receiver and only using 4 OL. Personally I hate that crap. I give Belichik credit but it's too easy to confuse players - especially on the lower levels. Futhermore, the most useless penalty in all of football is the illegal formation penalty.

    Why not force every team to line up a LT, LG, C, RG and RT. Those are your 5 ineligible WRS. Everyone else can line up wherever they want and catch a pass. No more worrying about being on the line vs 1 yard off. Screw that crap. I know some teams, particularly in college like to use an unbalanced line once in awhile but 99% of all plays are run out of a traditional OL set from games I watch. It would make it simpler and also eliminate the stupid illegal formation penalty.

    Does anyone even know what the illegal formation penalty is supposed to protect against?

    Thing is the Patriots use that same similar formation 3 times that game, all 3 on the same drive if I'm not mistaken.

    One of the plays the Ravens had 12 men on the field.

    Harbaugh should have used a TO probably

    Exactly! Just to make sure they know which WRs are eligible. Let's just make it simple.

    Heard about this story last week but it damn it was cool hearing him actually speak about it

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12...-swim-survival

    That's crazy man. I don't mind flying, but being on water is terrifying to me...let alone being in the ocean.

    John Fox and the Denver Broncos mutually part ways.

    Wonder if that is the first step for Manning retiring.

    Come on over to Chicago John!

    It was an all in season for them. Heads have to roll for something like that. I think it's 90/10 that Peyton stays in the league.

    Lots of mouths to feed in free agency for them.

    Yep. Denver is going to be a shell of themselves next season. Almost every unrestricted free agent is a known name, key player on either offense or defense. Denver is going to bleed like a stuck pig this off season when it comes to losing players to free agency. Despite John Fox putting up a great record in his four years, it was time for some fresh blood and clearly Elway is looking towards the future without Manning for his next move in terms of head coach.

    Hopefully Adam Gase gets promoted from OC to Head Coach as he seems to be a good candidate for the jump up, especially as shown by the amount of teams who have interviewed him thus far over the last two weeks. If Gase gets promoted, I could see Manning coming back next year. If the Broncos go a different route or Gase gets hired as head coach elsewhere, I think Manning will hang it up.

    I know Da Bears have been talking to Gase.

    The fantasy football side of me wants Manning to go and have Osweiler take over as I have him in a dynasty league

    Yeah, as much as I enjoy watching Manning play, I'm sort of looking forward to the time when he does decide to retire, as I am very much interested in seeing what Osweiler can do. He's been groomed all these years as the future QB of the Broncos, so I want to see how he does when named the starter.

    Yeah, the Rob Konrad swim story was crazy. A shark swam around him.

    And Peyton apparently loves Gase. Maybe he gets promoted. I think Peyton comes back for one more year but who knows?
