I'm kind of curious. How is Denvers' offense going to look when the snow flies in Denver?

They may get held to under 50 points.

What I found funny during one of the "talking head" shows...They compared Luck's first 21 games against Manning.Apple's to asparagus. The Colts organization didn't have a "winning mantra" when Manning was drafted. If Luck is half the QB, the Colts will be the 2nd luckiest team ever in football.1St in "QB non-downfall" Is San Fran.

Bad year for the Manning brothers, they only have 6 wins between the two of them.

Ahem (Green Bay)

 

[schan1269]

You are correct...for some reason I thought there was another QB between Favre and Rogers...

RIP, Adrian Peterson's son.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I just want to forget that I ever heard that story.

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Seahawks extend the win streak at home!

 

[Patrick Sun]

I still have no idea how the Patriots won their game yesterday against the Saints, who just didn't play to win, they played to not lose. The look on Rob Ryan's face as the winning TD was caught was priceless, though.

I can never figure out why Brady and company waste 58 minutes sputtering and being ineffective, then can do anything they want to do in the final 2 minutes.

 

[Ockeghem]

I hope the Pats involve Austin Collie a lot more in their offense in the future.

 

[Patrick Sun]

It's just brutal watching all of those dropped passes from the newbie Patriot "receivers" throughout most of the game.

 

[Jacinto]

How crazy is it that the only two remaining unbeaten teams in the entire league are in the same division?

 

[Ockeghem]

Patrick,Agreed. Thankfully, the one that really mattered was caught, however.Jacinto,No kidding! And what's really great (at least to me) is that the Broncos and Chiefs play each other twice in the regular season.

The question is, when does the snow fly in Denver? I lived there for ten years, and highs in December are just as likely to be in the fifties as the twenties. The average high in December is 46, which surprises a lot of people - it's 11 degrees warmer than the average high in Chicago. The Broncos only have two home games in December, against the Titans on the 8th and the Chargers on Thursday the 12th.

The way I look at it is, the Pats put the ball in Brady's hands and said we'll sink or swim with you. Throw an interception? Your still our guy. The Saints took the ball away from Brees. After all, what's he done for them lately? I thought the Pats winning had everything to do with what the coaches decided. If there's one team you don't want to give the ball back to it's the pats. Pathetic coaching decision on the part of the Saints.

Johnny,

True enough. And the Chargers won last night!

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I don't understand all the complaining. The Saints averaged 5 yards per carry for the game. Why shouldn't they have tried to run the clock down with three minutes left? Getting a few first downs on the ground (they had 7 on the day) was not an unreasonable expectation. They did let Brees pass on third down one time, and he ended up (wisely) taking a coverage sack.

If the Saints had pulled it out, everyone would be complaining about Belichick playing to win on 4th down!

According to ESPN, the Saints made four big errors:

[*]They wasted a timeout they could have used on defense at the end when Brady spiked the ball.
[*]They attempted a pass on 3rd and 7 with 2:33 remaining instead of running the ball, giving New England extra time (the winning play began with only 10 seconds left).
[*]The Saints started celebrating early instead of maintaining their focus.
[*]Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis threw the New England receiver out of bounds instead of keeping him in bounds -- stopping the clock. Remember, the winning touchdown came with just five seconds left.
