Technically, Peyton has never won a playoff game in weather 40 degrees and colder (0-3), so yeah, it's somewhat true.

It's supposed to be 20 degrees for the game on Saturday, so we'll see what happens. Moreno will get a lot of handoffs, I think, and Peyton will be great with those timing throws to the sidelines.

I have some more respect for Manning now that he's actually a man and has to play in a real football climate.  People loved to pretend that him playing 9+ games a year in a Dome didn't affect his stats, etc when he was in Indy.  The weather does affect your stats, sometimes you play in wind, sometimes you play in icy snow, sometimes you play in 110 degree heat...  Unless of course you're in a dome.

 

Now hes a real quarterback, playing real football in real elements, the way football was meant to be played!  Good for Manning, I can finally stop picking on him for being a dome baby.

Don't worry, you will find something else to pick on him for!!! ;)

So you are saying that the Ravens will beat Denver...nevermore, right?  (Couldn't resist that.)

Your response did make me chuckle & it was clever. haha But, no let's just say Ray Lewis has down his last Squirrel Dance & Peyton Manning needs a new Davy Crockett hat okay.

As long as #18 isn't facing Ty Law anymore VL, temperatures do not concern me in the slightest. Looking forward to the chess match next week with NE myself...The best 2 teams in the AFC colliding for a chance at the SB as it should be...To quote NY Jets LB  Bart Scott "I can't wait!"

Yeah, there is always that gut feeling that much anticipated matchups do not happen as frequently in the playoffs!!!

 

I am hoping this one does. To be the best, you got to beat the best.

One of those losses was when Peyton and Co. were smoked by the Jets, so it wasn't just a Patriots' situation.

I would look for how much wind there is. Cold and windy is far > than just cold.They are calling for winds around 8MPH (last I looked) , so should be no big deal that PM has lost arm strength and never threw a tight spiral.

While it true gentlemen that I do not possess a crystal ball & anything can certainly happen, the last time I checked the Jets aren't in the Playoffs this year & Peyton is on a mission this year to quiet all the naysayers. #18 is wearing a special glove to counteract cold, nerve finger sensitivity & he will pull a Michael Jackson & "Moonwalk" his way to the Championship Game in 2013. 

 

Yes, it is a hint of poetic license on my part I will admit. Denver is not the same squad & neither is NE. I have mad respect for both franchises & these 2 teams are destined to go head to head next week. Baltimore is done. Whatever happens next week, either the Broncos or the Patriots will win the SB. Colin Kaepernick & Russel Wilson's youth in Playoff games troubles me. Either Manning or Brady are hoisting the Lombardi trophy this calendar year.

Im gonna have to agree on this Brother,I realy like Seattle but the wisdom and and experience will prevail,AFC wins this hands down

The only exception is Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, I would give them the edge over the Broncos or Pats. Just my opinion though.

Yup, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Seattle does scare me a little bit. That defense with those corners is solid & QB Wilson is smart with the ball & he avoids costly hits. I fear Seattle more than I do San Francisco & no I am not heavily medicated or intoxicated either brother.  :thmup:

I can respect that GB choice Chad. The Packers are getting healthy at the right time. Can that line give Rogers decent protection though all game long down the stretch? That's my only concern there.

 

What does Jules think? I'm curious...

Im gonna weigh in on this one IMO ,GB doesnt have the D to stop either the Broncos or Patriots,and i can tell you right now Denvers D is for real !

No argument there Jay. Nobody & I mean nobody has slowed down Broncos LB Von Miller & DE Derek Wolfe this year...They just keep collapsing pockets baby.  :rawr:

Yes they do,this is just a very very good,all around team right now,with home field it will be a very big hill to climb for any team to beat them,and i do mean any team,allthough i do believe the best 2 are in the AFC,If Seattle were more experienced i might like they"re chances much better

Look, I can admit it when I was wrong & initially I thought it would take Peyton & the Broncos 1 more season to click & fire on all cylinders & even though I have profound respect for NE, I am rooting 100% for the Broncos to win the SB now. Only 1 trophy matters to me: Vince Lombardi. The Broncos might loose their OC after this year & the AFC West is changing with new HC's in Kansas City & San Diego. Jon Fox, John Elway, Jack Del Rio, Pat Bowlen, & #18 must close the deal from here on out. 

 

I am sick & tired of these short sighted fools with their cold weather weakness analogies, their he's not really clutch analogies, & Bob Sanders & Rex Grossman helped Peyton win in 2006 analogies...Shut them darn fools up once & for all...

 

Peyton Manning has a stout defense now, a solid line, & a kick caboose running game now...It's time to reek havoc, unleash Hades, & do some lethal damage now...To quote rocker Alice Cooper "No More Mr. Nice Guy."

 

"Not 1 step back!!!"

Brother I will be very suprised if he doesnt do just that! :thmup:

I ran out of likes Jay...Grrr! It's so irritating! Here are 5 thumbs up for you... :thmup:  :thmup:  :thmup:  :thmup:  :thmup:

 

Peyton knows what needs to be done & he will deliver the goods because he isn't expected to do it all alone. He can still win without playing mistake free football this year. Denver's defense & secondary is really that good. 

 

Regarding Seattle, yup their inexperience is their only achilles heel...I secretly hope that the SB is Broncos vs Seattle...A Great SB that #18 would win in the last 45 seconds IMO.

Pack's case is a case of defense getting healthy, plus their offense, if given a chance to play at Atlanta or even in the SB in NO, will do a great job because they play like an indoor team on offense.

Packers have found a running game in little but elusive and surprisingly strong Harris I believe his name is, that has given offense a new dimension to utilize

About the Packers vs. the big two in the AFC?

 

Jules thinks the Packers need to get through this weekend first, which is going to be a war likely. Of course I don't know what to expect from Kaepernick (who ARE you?) and if Justin Smith is limited that could really hurt SF. Not to mention the kickers of both teams kinda suck all year.

 

But, I learned last year never to take it for granted with the Packers and I got cocky with them. Everyone last year who was a fan of the Pack seemed to think it was gonna be Saints vs. Packers in the end. Brees vs. Rodgers.I always said watch out for the 49ers and Jim Harbaugh. I always wanted and thought it might come down to GB and SF. I always had the feeling SF would go far.

 

And instead the Packers get the one and done boot and I didn't get my dream title game but I am getting it Saturday night.

 

This year I felt GB was in a golden spot to get back to the SB if they got the second seed, so I hope that final Vikes game did not doom them. Playing in SF is no freaking joke. I know Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers but if they expose his o line and that run game goes out the window and he is trying to win the game like Brees did last year with up to 60 pass attempts/no run game I don't like their chances. But, the Saints D did suck badly vs. SF and maybe the Packers D will man up on the road. This has been a better road playoff team then home playoff team under Rodgers if you go by their SB run.

 

BUT, if GB pulls this game off I think they might win the whole enchilada or at least get there. SB history would favor Rodgers too due to his age and status as a QB.

 

And with all due respect to Seattle and their heavy wagon I am not sure they would get by GB in GB after that mockery of a regular season game this year. The GB players were so mad they almost boycotted the NFL after that game. Besides, if RG3 didn't get hurt I almost think Seattle loses. I honestly really don't like this Seattle team either even though many seem to love them. On a personal level they have always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.

 

It's a tough game for me Saturday night. I love Harbaugh and Rodgers. I am pulling for GB but if the 49ers win I will be fine with it too.

 

 

The wild card in all of this and chad would know more, is the NFC East pattern. :) If it is still alive it is alive with Baltimore and Atlanta who most are low on......since the NFC East winner is OUT. I don't know if the AFC West jinxes cancel each other out now for the remaining two who have played the NFC East or it all goes out the window now? Time will tell this weekend if the pattern is dead or alive.

Those 3 loses...    03, 04, and the Jet game in 02?

 

I would hardly ref any game a decade ago as any kind of trend.

 

Manning will be fine.

the weather is going to be an issue....daytime high in the high teens....

Little wind..but the coldest day of the year so far...

 

Yeah it is gonna be freezing. Which is why you need to get the troops to Denver and lead the cheers mark, "Brrr it's cold in here there must be some Broncos in the atmosphere."

 

:cheer2:  :cheer:

hehe perhaps, but i love the fact that he plays outdoors out in Denver, thats legit weather. Really hope we see a Broncos vs Patriots AFCCG.. There are so many exciting matchups in this years playoffs, the Giants would have made it slightly more interesting but I can live with them missing the playoffs ;)

....sure.  Make that 0 - 4 in temperatures below 40 degrees.  Though I don't think the weather was a factor...in the end, they were just out-played.  It was a great game!

    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.
