Denver sure could have used a W today....  I agree with you Mark,  Peyton  WILL play as soon as he's healthy enough.   Pathetic showing by Brock and the Denver D today.

What was so pathetic about Brock? He had NOTHING to work with.  The safety was 50% him and 50% the o-line being swiss cheese.  He's a game manager with no run game, no o-line and receivers who can't reliably catch.

That being said, Brock missed a few throws that could have been TD's. Of course even if the throws got there the receivers would probably drop them.

But everyone keeps telling me that the Broncos needed to bench Peyton and they'd have a high-powered offense all of a sudden!

I pray when Manning comes back this line doesn't retire him. It's like flashbacks of post 2006 Indy levels of bad.

No run blocking.

No pass protection.

And Manning is immobile. He got away with it back then since he could get rid of the ball so quickly...maybe he still can but jesus. He's a lot less mobile now than he was back then, too and I doubt he can take the punishment like he did back then.

Hasn't Denver rushed for over 150 yards a game with Osweiler? How is that norun game?

 

Brock is less than average, and that showed today.

That's the first time Brock has looked bad. He was hesitant...seemed clumsy..

Couldnt step up away from the rush..didn't 'feel' it.

But Brock did what the backup QB should do..just like our guy Matt Hasselbeck. Time to go back to the starter.

Problem is: Peyton wont be ready next week, I dont think..Its Brock at Pittsburgh

Okay, I'll give you that.  Maybe "not" pathetic, but certainly did not look good today.    

I think other teams have now had enough film on him...   :dunno:

If the Broncos lose this game, I can see them losing the Steelers and Bengals games and losing the division to the Chiefs at 11-5, as crazy as it sounds

Not too crazy really- lot left in the season. I get a kick how everyone in the off season can't wait for football then when it comes like they're rushing the playoffs by week 8, even less lol.

Things simply have to play out...until the fat lady sings :).

Ugh.... DEN still holds PIT under 21 and loses anyway. Regardless of who the QB is. Even if this were 2003 Peyton he can't throw, catch, and block.

He can audible, change protection etc.  Brock is young and hasn't learned that skill yet

HUGE lose by Denver. Mack was a beast all day. Peyton would have been killed out there today and probably not finished the game. The Denver O could not even block 3 rushers.

Peyton would have gotten rid of the ball faster......he doesnt drop back and he doesn't have a long wind up.

The thing is: UP 12...Denver should never have been challenged 4 1st half TDs became 4 1st half FGs

Don't worry...He'll be fine..just like against GB and the Colts

Who was better on Denver's offense tonight than Brock?

He had a great first half and then Oakland lowered the boom in the second half. He was bum rushed all second half and the muffed punt by Sanders was a KILLER as well as all the drops on the last two drives. Brock was by far the best player out there on offense. And Kubes red zone play calls were horrific.

Don't kid yourself, Peyton would've won this game. I have no doubt about that.

If the O-line "blocked" like that, Peyton may not have survived two quarters. Years ago he was gumby and could take a hit, now he might get killed.

We'll see what happens. He should be back in a couple weeks, possibly next but I wouldn't put him back in the fire against PIT.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
