Peyton to start in divisional round

[Yehoodi]

Just heard on the radio and a feed from NFL mobile that the Denver Broncos are going to have Peyton start in the playoffs.   Great for Peyton.  Going to be fun to watch him play next weekend.   

[ColtRider]

A lot on the line for Peyton & the Broncos. And, I'm not just speaking about the Playoff game.

[amfootball]

Pretty much expected. Big roll of the dice for Kubiak to start Manning at less than 100 percent but he went with experience over physical ability. Tough spot for him no matter which way he went. Will be worth following the weather for this game. Denver is getting snow showers this week.

Let Peyton run his own offense, Kubiak!  Go get that wins record, Peyton!

[James Harden]

nice! but lets not be surprise if the throw 2 picks and Osweiler comes in the second half. 

[Nadine]

They should change qbs every quarter.  Worked for us

I agree. You can just tell looking at him on the sidelines he hates the cold. I remember a few years ago in the afc game between the pats and broncos it was 50 degrees though.

Ya it's still early. It can be 51 degrees or 9. So much can change.

They have two weeks to get a game plan.  Look for one similar to the Packers game

true.   I live in Ohio and we can have Spring Summer Fall and Winter weather all in the same week.

 

Just looking at the long range forecast online for Denver, and right now looking okay throughout the playoffs, but as you say, it could change.   We'll see.

They won't be playing the Packers defense.

??? You realize that Denver did not alter their offensive game plan vs GB but GB inexplicable left the middle of the field open? It was as head scratching as Pitt playing zone the first half vs Denver when Brock lit them up. Denver is who they are with Manning. They have to hope the run game is at least decent and that Manning can hit some out routes to keep the defense honest and not turn the ball over which may prove to be difficult given he was averaging 2 picks a game before Brock came in.

They did indeed change the game plan for the Packers game.  They ran a lot more of the Indy offense that game

He has been running a hybrid since the first KC game. GB's game plan defensively was atrocious and Manning to his credit took advantage. Doubtful a defense is that dumb in the post-season.

It won't matter if the running game shows up.  I know you are hoping upon hope they lose.  But if the running game is on,  they will be ok.

I agree. They need the run game to even be in the game. But that will be tough as Pitt is 5th against the run and KC is 8th and Houston is 10. And they have had a tougher time running with Manning as the defense crowds the line because they don't respect his arm.

Denver decided to go one and done, then. 

 

 

I feel bad for Brock. He has out played Manning all year long statistically, and on the field. One bad game, and he's benched, though all Peyton did was throw for 59 yards and complete 5 passes, big deal. Tebow could of put that up. 

 

 

Pittsburgh is going to destroy them in the divisional round. All it will take is a few turnovers, and this will turn into a lopsided game in favor of the Steelers. 

 

Hopefully he finally retires after this becomes his 10th one and done in the playoffs. Though, I'd love to see him extend it to 11 next year.

Who are the saints playing?

[Gramz]

I see this is gonna be one of those kinds of threads...    

 

Looking forward to the 4 games this weekend,  then we'll see who's playing who the following week.

 

Chow for Now....

I called it! Go Peyton!

Easy roll of the dice IMO. Steelers don't have the Defense they have had in years past. It may not even be the Steelers anyway, it could be the Chiefs and I know they aren't winning in MileHigh twice.

Why do you hate Peyton so much? Like seriously it's baffling. Even Patriots fans aren't this bad.

[2006Coltsbestever]

When I talk a big game I am wiling to bet to back it up.

He does for some reason. I brought this up this other night. I like Bogie actually. Some people just hate certain players and love others. Just the way it is. I would like to know why he dislikes Peyton so much though.

Steelers will roll Cincy without Dalton. But you are right, could be Chiefs who would be a worse match up for Denver with their defense sending Manning to the bench last game.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am going to enjoy Peyton destroying all these teams coming up since I said from day 1 it would happen. It will make up for our damn 8-8 season because at least I will have that.

Nah, Denver will beat them by at least 10. Chiefs haven't won a Playoff game in 25 years.

Chiefs are the hottest team in football. I am nervous about them coming into Foxboro should the Steelers win as I expect them to.

[chad72]

I am calling a Cincy upset in this game. I have watched McCarron and his throws outside the numbers, darn accurate. Plus, with Eifert back, the Steelers' weaknesses vs TEs will be exposed.

 

Big Ben will have enough issues throwing against the Bengals that the Bengals will limit Big Ben. If the Steelers' D was playing at home, I'd give them the edge but let's face it, the Steelers are not that good defensively and McCarron will eat clock, move the chains at home, and win the time of possession vs the Steelers. Marvin Lewis will finally win his first playoff game. That is my bold playoff prediction for this week.

 

Bengals 27 Steelers 24

Steelers and Chiefs are Good don't get me wrong but I am not overly worried about either to be honest. If Denver brings their A game they will be fine.

Steelers WILL NOT "roll" the Bengals. C'mon am, you're smarter than that. "Roll", to me at least, means winning by three scores.

They do not have the ability to come back in games, Steelers do. Besides, I am not on the Steelers bandwagon as much as the others are.

I believe it will be ugly what they will do to McCaron.
