Would Payton just chill out and let Prater kick some FG's, killing my Fantasy team here :P

Defence decided to not show up today. Nowhere near over yet. Least it means we see more of PFM and we really have to open the throttle instead of easing off.

Only 1 more game without miller thankfully

26.5 point spread before today. It might touch 30 after today.

Yes your playing great football, with a great team but no need to be an add about it.

He's one of the least athletic sports stars you'll ever see. No real muscle definition or any great level of fitness - it's all brain.

I thought when I read this first that you were talking about JeMarcus Russell. You are having a laugh if you think Manning has no great level of fitness. He may not be jacked all over his body but looks at his arms and his upper body he has all the required muscles needed for his style of QB. Old school pocket passers don't need to be jacked they just need to have solid footwork in the pocket and be fit. You honestly think a guy like Manning could run hurry up offenses in those pads without a pro level of fitness? Try wearing the pads yourself someday and you will know what I mean.

Even as a Pats fan I love both Brady and Manning as QBs and its hilarious hearing about how they don't have this and that when it comes to their fitness and abilities. Its not all brain. They are the best in the business for a reason.

Don't forget the altitude he mostly plays at too

Ah here, im not saying he's unfit, he's obviously an athlete and has got everything he needs but what i'm saying is he's not exactly the typical athlete either in terms of build and speed, but he doesnt need to be!

I'm sorry but i don't think i'm being out of line here, Jacksonville could be the worst team i've seen and 37 points is the lowest output we've had in any game this year. The bookies dont think it's gonna be remotely competitive, nor does anybody else in the world.

Dallas getting a lot of success with the deep ball.

Harris getting knocked out has hurt us badly, especially without Champ.

Calling it: We're gonna lose today and will not do anything in the playoffs - our defence is dog****.

Totally agree TO. I'd invited anyone to watch Manning doing his footwork drills. I'd drop dead doing them after after 5 minutes. Just because he's not juiced up on horse hormones doesn't mean he's not a fine athlete. In fact he's probably the only 'natural' athlete on the field.

UnitedIrishman · 06-10-2013 11:45PM

This is just going to be a shootout til the end. Romo looking as comfortable as Manning.

Missing 3 of their best defensive players, but especially von meaning no pass rush.
Great to have your optimism back

Difference is that we look like we can be stopped given the way we chew up the field and they held us to a FG last time. Our defence is a serious serious worry, they're giving up 30 yard plays every two or three snaps.

EDIT: ...and there you go.

Peyton is the clear MVP so far this year, but Romo is arguably second.

There is a QB on a 5-0 team called Drew Brees.;)

UnitedIrishman · 06-10-2013 11:50PM

Oh noes.

Dallas look like they'll cover at very least. But as far as the game goes, their defence are more likely to do something.

taidghbaby · 06-10-2013 11:51PM

Had to happen eventually! Still don't know why he makes that throw! They've been killing Dallas with short throws!

Alex Smith??

spiralism · 06-10-2013 11:53PM

I just hope we're in with a shout at the end but it's clear this team has believed the hype.

UnitedIrishman · 06-10-2013 11:54PM

Good god Denver's secondary sucks. Granted the aforementioned injuries don't help but it's so easy for the Dallas WR's.

Edit: Actually scratch that. Their entire defence sucks.

That didn't take much

spiralism · 06-10-2013 11:55PM

Not winning in the playoffs with that defence. Hell, making them would be a feat.

Son Of A Vidic · 06-10-2013 11:56PM

Great O line protection for Romo there.

Smith having a fantastic season but its all round balanced performance by the whole team that has them winning.

skeleton_boy · 06-10-2013 11:59PM

Philip Rivers right up there in the MVP discussion too. He's made some great throws this season with relatively little weapons.

Paully D · 07-10-2013 12:00AM

I know hardly anyone is interested in the other game, but what a poor result for the Panthers on the back of a bye week.
