Official Game Thread: Week 1 - Ravens @ Broncos (1 Viewer)

[Shutout]

Looks like some people got the wrong Thomas.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I can't believe Walt Coleman is still employed either.

+1, what a clown.

Fox deserves way more hate for punting on 4th&4 from Balt's 39 earlier. I guess everyone is just immune to coaches being incompetent at math.

Bad, overly conservative decisions are what Fox does.

He once punted on 4th and 7, down 4, with 2 minutes left and one timeout.

 

[Andrew74]

Why didn't I drop that scrub WR for J Thomas, why!?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Peyton looks like he's pitching in a HR derby...arm is gone.

I dont know how legit Julius will be, but he wont suck

 

[Mikey16x]

With my ADD, Id slaughter that game show with seconds to win millions or whatever it is.

 

[timschochet]

I get that some of you owned Thomas- but anyone here start him tonight?

 

[Wingnut]

Manning is throwing ducks out there. Is it just me, or does it look like his arm strength just isn't there?

He's always thrown ducks.

 

[Jedeye]

i just picked him up 5 min before the game...

Did you start him?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Flacco sacked himself

 

[madviking10]

Sad thing is how many benches he's on tonight.

SELL HIGH!!!!

He's on mine sitting next to Eifert....Davis and Finley got the start. =(

 

[valhallan]

I mean, are we seeing an anomaly where Julius is open because the defensive backfield is keying on the other receiving options on the field.

Or, is Thomas another uncover-able big basketball player in the open field?

Probably a bit of both. He's been thought to have this ability for a couple seasons. He's finally healthy and there are too many guys to cover.

ditto

 

[Shutout]

Reel in the silliness though kids. Baltimore is notorious for playing TEs poorly and the broncos have had all off season to prepare.i seriously doubt if we go a season watching decker and d. Thomas being this irrelevant. If anything, this looks likea merry go round of fantasy performers. Who gets it this week? Next week?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I get that some of you owned Thomas- but anyone here start him tonight?

Yeah, but not in every league I have him in. Cameron better produce Sunday.

 

[Clifford]

I get that some of you owned Thomas- but anyone here start him tonight?

yes, but only in one league/ Won't make that mistake again.

 

[mrip541]

Is D. Thomas even in the game?

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Manning is throwing ducks out there. Is it just me, or does it look like his arm strength just isn't there?

He's always thrown ducks.

That's called "touch," sport.

I can't tell if you're being serious, but Manning has always thrown an ugly ball. Seems to be easy to catch, though.

Exactly, it's the matchup. Thomas looks solid, but let's not anoint him the next Jimmy Graham just yet.

Un f'n real

He's always thrown ducks.

Are you guys being serious? His arm is obviously weaker, but he's always thrown ducks to one degree or another.

Beautiful ball by duck-arm there.

Ignoramus is always serious

 

[MoveToSkypager]

Another weak throw by Manning.

 

[ponchsox]

Peyton's throwing change ups out there.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

How a ref doesn't see that just amazes me

I've never seen a Manning game where he didn't throw a quacker or two

 

[GroveDiesel]

That wasn't even close. Clearly hopped

 

[Daywalker]

Let's just share a 100-piece.

 

[ebsteelers]

Nice throw... trade d. Thomas now!!! Peyton can't reach em

Are you blind? I'm serious. Are you? I'm a HUGE Peyton fan. But he's always thrown ducks a decent percentage of the time. It's been a criticism towards him for a LONG time.

 

[Kilgore]

Is D. Thomas even in the game?

2 catches, 18 yards. Yay!

 

[Wingnut]

Are you playing against him or something? Ever see any of Marvin Harrison's or Reggie Wayne's catches from Peyton through the years?Ducks....SMH

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

We needed another 2 minutes of messages from the sponsers

 

[Peyton Marino]

manning just kind of playing toss with his kid out there.

 

[MoveToSkypager]

How a ref doesn't see that just amazes me

Walt Coleman. He's no better than a war criminal.

 

[phrozen]

noodle-duck-arm manning tearing it up tonight

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

You're both right, IMO.

Rich Eisen with the first nickname of the season. "Orange Julius".

The talk of Peyton throwing bullets this year sounds like total bs.

Exactly. This is worse, but it's not even remotely new.

 

[Kilgore]

Gets a 5-yard catch overturned. That's about the size of it.

 

[timschochet]

Throw it over the top to Julius! They can't stop it.

 

[Donnybrook]

Manning needs to put the magic glove back on.

 

[mr roboto]

Old man duck arm got sacked. He's really slow in the pocket.

 

[GroveDiesel]

One thing to remember re: Manning's arm strength is that they talked at length in pregame about how windy it is. Not sure if it's still windy, but that could be an explanation for why his passes seem to be just hanging there.

 

[phrozen]

manning needs to watch his feet
