Minnesota (+7) @ Denver (10-4-15)

[shakedownstreet]

another peyterception

[oldunclemark]

Bad throw..too high..Vikes can tie it up..unforced error

[Moose Of Woe]

another peyterception

 

Up to like 5 already I think on the season. That's crazy for a guy who usually throws like 10 all year.

[Moose Of Woe]

DEN's defense is starting to look like cardboard. Then again they've been on the field a LOT tonight. Also 10 points courtesy of Peyton.

[oldunclemark]

20-20 tie....but the Sherriff gets the ball

Peyton....

Orange good.

Grape bad.

Noodle not as good as laser/rocket, but give it your best shot.

[oldunclemark]

Yeah...Indy's "run game" is as bad as Denver's honestly.

I know Frank Gore can run...if they'd block better

[Moose Of Woe]

I keep cringing that Caldwell will fumble the return.

[Moose Of Woe]

I know Frank Gore can run...if they'd block better

If by better you mean at all. Indy is just...ugh.

 

At least the pass protection was better tonight, but unfortunately that's been an anomaly for the past eight years instead of the norm. Plus, we were playing JAX. Hopefully they don't revert to the sieve next game and get Hasselback/Luck killed.

[oldunclemark]

Browns just tied up SD 27-27 with 2 minutes to go..great games today

[Moose Of Woe]

Untouched hole - 13 yards.

Decent hole - 4 yards. Dropped like a fly on contact.

[amfootball]

On the season he has 6 TDs to 5 INTs.

[Moose Of Woe]

On the season he has 6 TDs to 5 INTs.

Yeah..definitely not 2003 anymore.

 

If DEN is going to go anywhere in JAN the defense has to be the ones to carry them. O just needs to not mess it up, honestly.

Frank Gore will run for 1,000 yards this season..mark by words

[oldunclemark]

McManus has gotten so much better...so strong on every kick

[Moose Of Woe]

In Denver he's pretty much perfect. Outside Mile High still pretty good.

[oldunclemark]

Von Miller just ran over the rookie RT

[shakedownstreet]

[oldunclemark]

Mike Wallace is having a big day.Vikes at midfield

[RockThatBlue]

I evny Denver's pass rush

[Moose Of Woe]

D wins it again.

[oldunclemark]

TJ Ward..with the blitz..Broncos win

[shakedownstreet]

turn out the lights, the fat woman has sung

[oldunclemark]

So much pressure....with largely the same guys they had last year

[Moose Of Woe]

Oakland can keep Del Rio.

 

Denver's defense pretty much went from zeroes to heroes.

[oldunclemark]

Great to see Teddy B talking to manning for more than just a moment after the game..

...Vikes wont play Denver again until after Peyton retires.. I think he knows that Bridgewater...has talked about modeling his game after manning...

Cnat debate it, Moose.....other than Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett..these are the same rushers Denver had last year when the rush tired as he game went on.

Now the rush gets strong as the game goes longer.

Got to run the bal on Denver to win

Well, he certainly doesn't run like Peyton. That's a compliment by the way.

 

It's a good thing for Denver that the D has played like it has or they'd be 0-4. The offense is a shell of what it used to be with the losses of Moreno, Julius Thomas, Welker and Decker over the years on top of a heavily regressed PM.

[oldunclemark]

4-0 and a 2-game lead in the AFC West

Peyton's still overthrowing Emmanuel sanders but he looked in peak from on that game winning drive

They are discussing over on the Denver boards if Kubes will sit Manning for Brock at some point soon. I doubt it but a game like this is going to get the chatter louder.

 

Tedy has to be smarter at the end there and just dump the ball off. They only need about 15 yards to get in FG and every play he was looking for the home run.

Yup. And apart from a jail break run by AP, by FAR the best back in the game, Denver's run D is still solid even with the loss of Potroast.

 

The Pats will still put up 30+ on Denver through the air, so Denver really needs to crank it up on offense to some degree. Peyton can't spot them 10 points either.

 

4 games in and it's obvious the "run game" will only hinder Denver.Their best hope is the Bears shop out Forte and they can grab him for a year or two to, possibly, go from bad to fair at running. The blocking is what it is. The 1/100 times you break for a TD isn't worth the 99/100 times you gain 2-3 yards at best. Although they did break out a few longer runs tonight like a 13 yarder and a few 6-7's plus the 80 yard TD. Honestly, with a decent back, those others could have been TD's too.  If you so much as sneeze on a Denver back they go down.

Ifs Ifs Ifs....Julius Thomas was always injured in Denver and he hasn't played a down this year. Wes has retired.

The 'shell' is 4-0..

.and they'll be 6-0 when Green bay comes in next month

[chad72]

Peyton almost lost this game for the Broncos. He finds a way to turn it over even when things are going his team's way.

He's looking like an old man struggling to make those quick outs doing it out of muscle memory instead of having a good feel for it and zipping it.

Vikings will challenge the Packers in that division, no doubt.

He had a rookie RT and he had no time....Cant keep throwing short or they jump the route (see Peyton)

Bench?. There are lots of nonsensical comments on message boards (?)

Kubiak and Manning are in it together....and they are 4-0..amnd don't think Kubiak isn't Ok with that

Peyton won the game fro the Broncos when it was 20-20.

He moved them 55 yards when it counted.....The old man is 4-0

Moreno, Thomas, Welker and Decker? Seriously???

You said all 4 were wildly overrated when they were in Denver. Right?

He had plenty of time the last two possessions and he just held the ball. Have to just dump it when you are at mid-field. He had two guys, including AP open in the flat and he still had a timeout out. Just bad situational playing but he is still young.

 

I agree about the silly comments but this game was pretty awful. Both picks were dreadful and he under threw DT badly at the end forcing the FG attempt. The longer it goes, the more the natives will get restless but I agree about Kubes he does nothing unless the team starts losing. Pretty sweet to be at 4-0 but Tedy had his way with that D on a few drives especially Talib so they can be had by a decent QB and O. And APs run for the TD was fantastic too.

[oldunclemark]

23-20..over under 42.5

Cash that ticket!

[Moose Of Woe]

I didn't say the offense was bad. But yes, they are a shell of the record setting behemoth they used to be. Obviously they moved on from JT and Wes at the right time along with Moreno.  They lost Decker too who was less important than any of them, but still a good receiver. They've only had one good player to replace those 4 on offense, and that's Sanders. Lost four good players, gained one and the QB has regressed.

am.

Denver is in press coverage...as a QB, you have to hope the line holds...

Teddy cant throw to guys who haven't come open yet

and again.,.the TDs are ordinary and the picks are dreadful...They've said that about Peyton for years.

The last drive won the game....if we're being honest
