I never will, ugly John Elway won't let me. :)

Did the Packers play better than the Broncos, but still lost that game? Or were the Broncos just better?

Cause that's the meanest thing if your team is dominating the game, but still losing at the end! That's why I'm cursing ManUnited and Chelsea! :cussing:

No it was a really good game but the Broncos should have never reached the SB. I hate the Chiefs as well but they were robbed in that divisional playoff game that year. The offensive and defensive lineman doused themselves with Pam cooking spray. Plus they had the refs on their side that entire postseason (Had to help Horse Face get his ring) and in that playoff game the refs took 17 points off the board for the Chefs, it was a 14-10 final. Denver has always been notorious cheaters, its sickening.

So the opponents slip off or what?

Yeah, the Chefs had an unstoppable D with Derrick Thomas in those days, if they played fair they would have been destroyed. It should have been Green Bay/Pittsburgh in the SB because the Chefs have never had a good enough QB but they should have won that game, they were fucked hardcore, I mean look at that evidence not counting all the points the refs took off the board.

Well I know shit about the NFL from back then. I grew up with soccer. I don't know if the Broncos were good or shit back then. And I don't care. I only know I don't like Elway and I love Manning. I would still like the Broncos NOW if they didn't have won a SB before.


You on the other hand know your shit, T! :) And I'm sorry your Packs didn't win it back then. :lovecoupl
 
I'm not a Indy or Denver fan, but I never got all the Manning hate some people seem to have. Outside of him being on a team one doesn't like and only doing it out of homerism I have a hard time finding a logical reason for it. (Not that sports homerism is logical)

11 playoff appearances, 8 One and Dones.

Of course it's often totally and conveniently neglected by most Peyton haters that most of those loses were when they were facing a superior team, and it would be expected they would lose those the majority of the time. Indy had to constantly face New England, Pittsburgh, and San Diego among others when those teams were great and probably better than Indy as a whole. Trying to look at it objectively I can't fault a player, even somebody that's in the running for the best player ever at his sport, for not having the ability to constantly pull miracles out of his ass. If they were in the NFC for most of Peyton's time at Indy they would pretty much of coasted into the Superbowl nearly every year. There were only a few times in those games they were beat by an inferior or equal opponent. A few of those loses came on games were one quirky play coming out differently would have changed the outcome, like a safety making the biggest blunder of his career at the end of the season last year or somebody not being able to avoid a very slow, lumbering, and backpeddling Roethlisberger in the completely open field after the Steelers fumbled it, both which would have guaranteed a win. Don't forget about the onside kick that fooled Indy after halftime in the Superbowl either. Even not counting the above that it's kind of silly to blame one player for an entire team's loses, especially when that player usually played well in those games, and was pretty much the primary reason they were able to compete those game in the first place. I could also point out a lot of those years Indy would have been a 6 or 7 win team instead of constantly winning over 10 games year after year almost solely because of Peyton. Even ignoring all of the above the fact you are talking about something that has that low of a sample size means just random variance probably has a strong effect on the record, which is a fancy way of saying Indy was probably just a little unlucky.

That's weak sauce. If hes truly the greatest QB he would be a little bit more clutch than that, he's the anti-clutch. Though he will probably win it all this year because there is nobody to challenge him. He will get lucky and face a far inferior QB like Rex Grossman. I will not be another Peyton Manning ball gagger. The playoff record speaks for itself.

Eerie, though, how this Peyton Manning team reminds me of the John Elway team during his first Super Bowl win season.
 
Nice to see my Browns win two straight games. Don't know what it means, but I really like what I see from our defense.

A tough go last night until EJ Manuel went out but thanks to Benjamin, Ward, Weeden (who's the starter again since Hoyer's probably done for the season) and Gordon etc., the Browms came through. McGahee is all the Browns have in the run game and averaged only 2.8 a carry but it was just enough to win. I'm a long time suffering Browns fan too so i'll take a win anytime no matter how we do it. Detroit's in town next week so..........anyway, a team effort last night on Jim Brown night
 
Don't forget about the onside kick that fooled Indy after halftime in the Superbowl either.

Don't forget Manning's pick six to Tracy Porter in that Superbowl either which effectively ended the game.


Which QB has been more clutch in the playoffs? Eli or Peyton? The answer is obvious.
