After this year, I don't think we will have another Peyton-Brady playoff meeting chance

Just my gut feeling that states that this might be the last year that Peyton and Brady get to face off in a playoff meeting.

 

For that reason, it would be nice to see another Peyton-Brady playoff matchup.

 

Lets see how things roll. Good luck to the Broncos!!!

I dont have any idea why...

 

Both NE and Denver return crucial injured players next season...both are playing well and uninjured

 

Its going to be hard for them NOT to meet

Why exactly?

 

Both teams will be in the playoffs until they decide to retire..

 

Maybe not another AFC Championship matchup, but I'm sure they will somehow meet again

Despite meeting 11 times in the regular season, they have met each other JUST 3 times in the playoffs for a total of 14 times. That is why I feel the odds will be low after this year.

That's a good point..as much as we talk about the matchup...its 2-1 for Brady..that;s it..

 

...and if the playoffs expand.....odds will be even more against it..

 

I just see both Denver and NE being better next season...for health reasons..

I'd like the reason to be that Denver doesn't make the playoffs because of a resurgent Charger's franchise.

Hate to remind y'all that there are more qbs in the game than Manning and Brady...

more qbs, yes. Those two are the best in the AFC at this point though

I don't really care "who the best of all time" ad nauseum is... I want my qb to be the best on the field TODAY, each game at a time.  the quarterback that does what needs to be done to win - whether that means throw 100 times or hand off to the RBs 50 times.  The guy who rallies his team to perform at their peak and shares the glory with every person that contributes.  One player does not win the game alone.

 

Brady typified that last night.  Including holding the kicks - doing whatever it took to win.

 

The rest of the football world is pretty tired of "legacy" talk - you guys don't see that because they're your guys. 

 

Brady is good.  Manning is good.  Rivers is good.  It's a team game.  Let's see who the best, most unified TEAM is today and then next week.

You're in that alternate universe again,  GAFT..

 

Brady and Manning are the two greatest QBs playing.....that's why their meetings are special 

 

I dont like the legacy talk either,....to be honest....Legacies to me are for retired players....

 

.....and their greatness obviously takes nothing away from other players....Rivers is Mr. 70%

 

But you have to admit that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning...rivals for over a decade and statistical giants both../.stand above the rest., right?

And yet the old guys still run the show.

After Peyton and Tom only Brees a Rodgers are close. And lets just say the guys being Rodgers and Brees are closer to them than Rodgers and Brees are to Manning and Brady.

Yep, the odds will be stacked against higher seeds if they let in 7 teams from each conference.

Look, I can see the Chargers frankly winning the division in the future but as long as Peyton is there, I like the odds of the Broncos making the playoffs.

 

You have one of the smarter minds in Tom Telesco, our former head of scouting/football operations as your GM. I always felt, him, and not Chris Polian, should have been handed the keys to being GM by Bill Polian. But nepotism prevailed and the Colts paid for it with several failing drafts and the deck of cards came tumbling down when Peyton was not around for a year.

 

I can understand how you feel with Rivers not being included. But, with Peyton and Brady, there is a greater body of work year in and year out. Rivers can get there if he has another set of 3 or 4 consecutive years like this one but at this point, not yet. Regardless of how good the QB is, football is the ultimate team game. The better team is the one that wins on a given day, not the better QB or the better GM or resume.

rivers isn't in the same area code as Manning and Brady

It depends on both players' health (more for Manning obviously) but it would not surprise me to see them in the playoffs again in 2014, assuming both are back. And the Broncos-Pats are already on the schedule for the 2014 regular season. 

 

Brady should end up playing at least a year or two past Manning... younger and no surgically repaired vertebrae!

I hope there will be one more game between them in the playoffs, but it is tough, they both should be in the playoffs next year, but with injuries, teams getting hot, one or both could get knocked out before they would meet . . . we'll have to wait and see . . .

      New DL coach

      Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By stitches · Posted

      I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.

      Give him the rest of the year before we make too much judgement on progress. Dude is super young and still figuring it out.     I think his footwork is poor, and he relies on his rocket launcher arm to save him w/o thinking about mechanics. When he's under pressure is when he resorts to kind of like a backyard ball approach.    I think the WR's have issue on trying to catch his fastballs, so now he's trying to throw with "touch" and underthrowing quite a bit. Though there have been a lot of dropped passes by the WR's for sure.    All these wildly sailing balls and inaccurate throws are what's concerning. Hopefully it's all correctable. (I think it is?)

      Is Nick Cross ok?

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I think the only injuries were Kenny, Dallis and Kwitty.
