So can Osweiler lead them to victory in the Super Bowl?

 

[legend]

He has the physical tools but he's only starting his second career game. He can bootleg and has the arm, but doe he have the instincts to read opposing D's? We're about to find out. No team is unbeatable this year IMO.

I'm leaning towards Arizona in the NFC. AFC, it should and probably will be the Patriots but they have a big injury list that may cripple them down the stretch.

Looks like Manning may be going on IR, Broncos are working out Ponder & put in a waiver claim for Clausen.

Only have Osweiler with 1 start & Siemian (7th rd rookie) left but I think id rather stick with Siemian as Brock's backup if Ponder & Clausen are the best available FA's

I love games in the snow, it seems pretty rare in Denver recently makes for some amazing game shots

I agree games played in the snow are great to watch. Wish it would snow here.

Raiders blew out the Broncos 59-14 in Denver, that team was a complete mess under McDaniels & I am probably being too kind with that description.

McFadden ran for 165yds & 3 TDS :crazy:

Raiders scored 59 in less than 3 quarters smh

How many will return come playoff time?

How many will return come playoff time?

Not sure have to wait & see with some

I am probably most concerned with CJ, TJ, Bruton, Trevathan & Ware, just my opinion though

Also any injuries along the o-line is very concerning as the depth there is stretched thin as it is.

 

[legend]

If we get Ware, Ward and Trevathan back by the playoffs, we'll be in good shape. IMO, Ware will play next week against the Steelers.

The LB's are holding their own atm but adding Ware back on the edge makes us lethal IMO.

 

[legend]

If we beat the Raiders we move into the number one seed in the AFC with three to play.

 

[legend]

My bad. Ware is out there today but man, does Wolfe look good atm.

My bad guys. They went 3-0 when I was at the games but I couldn't make it today. Taking donations for next week in my paypal account...

Seriously what a mess with a golden opportunity at hand to be #1 seed. The D was awesome and only allowed a TD due to missing 3 safeties and having the guy signed off the street during the week blow a coverage. A lot of talk on twitter about giving Manning another shot but IMO all of the following needs to happen before you start talking about the QB:

- Need CJ back. He is better than Hillman whether he starts or not.
- Bench Schofield for Polumbus.
- Catch the damn ball.
- Kubiak's playcalling was sketchy with Manning and has been with Brock for the last two weeks.

Only after these issues are addressed should we worry about the QB. Already sounds like Brock is starting vs Pittsburgh. I am interested to see if Manning will be a less than 100% healthy backup. Kind of like Big Ben was a month or so ago.

 

[Tom155]

Same old Broncos golden chance for the #1 seed & they folded under the pressure yet again, unfortunately it looks like I am right about the o-line being our downfall, still doesn't make sense to me they already had one of the worst o-lines & did basically nothing to improve it in the draft or FA, just suicide imo.

Schofield may be the worst player in the entire league, cant believe we wasted a 3rd round pick on him, I hated the pick when it was made & unfortunately it looks like I was right about him, Hillman another pick I hated & he is hopeless without CJ carrying most of the load we desperately need him back & healthy.

DT needs to wake the f**king hell up so many drops yet again :twisted:, Davis dropping that perfect pass from Oz on 4th down was absolutely ridiculous as well.

Kubiak & Dennison's playcalling has had me shaking my head in disbelief with some of the stupid shit they have called this year, for one stop running Ronnie between the f**king tackles how many times does it have to fail before it gets through to them it doesn't work, for supposed offensive masterminds they have failed to deliver big time thus far. Redzone playcalling is another thing that has been a gigantic mess this season.

The D held up very well considering all the injuries, Phillips has been easily the best signing of the offseason.

Mostly just Manning fans & a few morons thankfully they are in the minority, it's like they weren't watching the first 1/2 of the season where Manning was the worst QB in the league, he has been terrible for more than a year now but he is magically going to come back & be transformed back into 2013 record breaking Manning its just not going to happen.

 

[18to87]

Still think this game opened up a lot of eyes to show that the offensive problems earlier this year were not all Manning's fault. As you say, the OL has been horrible all year. I can defend Elway for not knowing that both Clady and Ty were going to go down but he should have pulled the trigger on Joe Thomas. It is sad to think that this D may go to waste. Even undermanned they only allowed 13 points today. Beating Pittsburgh is going to be a tough ask but the good news is that they only need to beat Cincy and San Diego to get a bye week. AJ McCarron shouldn't be too hard to beat in week 16.

No it wasn't all his fault though the majority of it was imo just too many bad throws/decisions etc he's just not what he used to be.

Bolded part upsets me the most I think without a doubt its going to go to waste unfortunately.

We definitely caught a break with AJ likely starting for Cinci though.
