blodvyn

I bet vic's gunna be sliding from now on.

AWFUL on mannings behalf big big chance for AT LEAST ot, and he does that LOL!

johnmcdnl

Few little mistakes made here and there in that 4th quarter there now :rolleyes: asante samuel could have easily took that ball out of bounds and eagles could have eaten up the clock with 5 minutes left... not gonna even start about manning then.. had he kept that ball I think the giants would have made OT..

but i don't really care about little things like that GOOO EAGLES

2 good games between the AFC east and southern conferences last night. great finishes to both. I knew never to write off Manning. You could just see a groove was coming in their play in the last quarter.

One thing though, why is it everyone is going on about their depeleted side and bange dup with injuries? The Patriots last night were missing a starting corner back in Bodden, a starting tackle in Kaczur, Gostkowski at kicker, Warren at defensive end, and the go to guy for third down Kevin Faulk as well as Fred Taylor.

Granted, Clark and Gonzalez are two big losses for the Colts, and the form Collie was in, he was a loss to go off. Sanders at CB too. But they have Reggie Wayne still, probably the best receiver in the league. Am I missing something or are they missing a whole load of others that I cant think of?

Manning is good enough to get it done with a decent WR corps, like Brady has done when he lost key receivers. I just thought there is a lot being made of the Colts depleted side, when they are good enough regardless. There should be a series done on these Pats Colts games though. 22 points seperating the sides over the last 8 games I think I heard today. Has been some classic match ups down the years.

Pats were missing quite a few guys but when the colts injury list is like this, there's a bit of a problem:

Addai
Clark
Gonzalez
Hart
Hayden
Bullitt (Hugely underrated safety)
Sanders (again)
Collie
Brackett
Session

Thats true but its Manning against a defense with 4 rookies and 3 second year guys. He cuts up veteran defenses all the time and he still had one of the best (top 3 for me) receivers on the field yesterday.

spiralism

so who else here is staying up for MNF?

Raoul

Goin to try and stay up. Only if I can find a good stream though. May also put a bet on it.

spiralism

watching build up now... avant makes "c'mon man!" this week for his woeful drop last night haha!

Peyton Manning

Jesus.

What a bloody brilliant opening drive from the Broncos.

eagle eye

That was just a class drive. Nothing you can do about that imo.

spiralism

Whoa. highly impressed with that opening drive, that was unreal

Peyton Manning

Delighted to see Moreno doing well lately too. If he can stay injury free - a big ask to be fair - he can quickly become one of the top double threat running backs in the league. Huge fan of his.

tommyboyle

Saw an interview with josh mcdaniels and he said over half his offense is built around moreno. If thats true denver could finish the year on a great note. Ive had him on my fantasy team all year just waiting and its finally paying off

JohnnyRyan99

Fake Punt was awesome!

Peyton Manning

Brilliant fake punt.

It feels so weird congratulating the Chargers special teams for once.

spiralism

momentum shifted for the game i feel...

spiralism

that'll be that i feel, we're not getting out if we get into a hole tonight

Edit: got out of jail there

Great stream here btw

eagle eye

Just on the fake punt, imo it was a dumb move. They were down by only 7 at that stage. Its fine when it works but they were giving the Broncos a huge chance to take 14 point lead if it went wrong. The Chargers defense was just after forcing a 3 and out on the previous drive. It just seems so dumb to me.

By the same token, it's only dumb when it doesn't work. It did work, so it was a fine play

spiralism

Oh well, it was fun for the 10 mins or so that it lasted...:(

I'm not talking about the execution of the play at all, that was good. Its the decision making thats wrong as has always been the case in San Diego under Norv Turner.

eagle eye

Brilliant interception from Champ Bailey.

eagle eye

Wow Patrick Creighton is on fire tonight.

tommyboyle

What time is it there? Its 10pm on the east coast and Im half yawning into my beer. You guys are hard core.

Raoul

comin up to 3 am

spiralism

that's the end of that, prob would be better off switching it off now really. could not bother my fcuking arse sitting til 5 watching them s*** on us from a height tbh
