I never liked Brady vs Manning at the beginning of the year. It was always fun in the middle of the year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You'd have to expect the NFL to place the Manning/Brady matchup back in November again. The ratings have historically been off the charts. If their motivation is to open with a big game, they don't need to bother. People will tune in to watch the Broncos play pretty much anyone in Peyton's first game back. And personally I'd prefer that he get a softer opponent to "warm up against". The first games of the season were never his best even when coming off a normal off-season.

That 24-7 beating of the Ravens on the road in 2005 ranks as a good one too, against a good D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 24-7 beating of the Ravens on the road in 2005 ranks as a good one too, against a good D.True. I didn't go back and look at any specifics. Considering how many times they started out 8-0 or better, it's hard to critical. I'm simply referring to my recollection of often thinking "the offensive doesn't look like they are firing on all cylinders" in early season games.I wonder if Peyton will play more in preseason than he has in the past.

chad72 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I wonder if Peyton will play more in preseason than he has in the past.I wondered that too. Brady did so after his season ending injury in 2008, when he came back for the 2009 season. It might be along those lines. Game 4 might still be one series but games 1 through 3 might be different.

Fx Stryker Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I guess they'll be changing the Sunday Night intro video since Peyton won't be in blue and white. Yet again another reminder we get to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21isSuperman Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Broncos/Steelers would be more fun if Tebow was there because it would be a playoff rematch. And, like chad, I'd prefer to see a Peyton/Brady game in the middle of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton and Eli fan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I vote for Steelers so it can be a home game for the broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglejoe8 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Peyton vs Brady will always be a draw no matter what. Putting it on opening weekend seems like a waste since fans will be jacked up for opening weekend no matter who plays. Let that matchup build a bit.
