Even if Peyton ones and dones one final time next week or 2 weeks out, at least we'll be left with 1 more classic Peyton moment. He didn't deserve to go out on an injury.
Neither will I, and I'll be rooting for him too.I really think Peyton is done but I'm definitely not gonna miss any games he is playing.
Surely, I can't see him being a backup next year which would mean he would have to switch teams
I don't think so. Peyton is one of the worst big game QBs I can remember. I like the guy, but fact is, he doesn't play well come play off time. Eli has a bigger arm, and much more of a big time gamer.It is still a travesty that his idiot little brother has more rings than Peyton.
Last chance to even up the score
I love this argument. So Peyton would be smarter to not have HGH sent to his wife for his use but he is too dumb to understand that it being sent to his wife for her use might become newsworthy if that information became public?I would like to think if Manning was doing hgh he'd be smarter than having it sent to his wife

The fact that HGH was sent to Manning's wife isn't in dispute, Peyton has basically said as much.What?I love this argument.

According to NFL Network's James Palmer, the Broncos plan to keep Peyton Manning under center in Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Steelers.
That's certainly not their quarterback's preference. Peyton operates best in no-huddle schemes where he can play out of the shotgun. Staying under center will require Manning to move inside the pocket, which could be an issue given his recent foot injury and overall lack of mobility. Keeping Manning under center would suggest the Broncos plan to run it down Pittsburgh's throat with running backs Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson.

Hmm. Makes sense. Focus on the running game and put your QB in a position where he is uncomfortable and has shown ineptitude all season. Yeah, focus on the vaunted running game. You know, the one that's ranked 17th out of 32 teams. Against a defense that is ranked 4th best against the run. Sounds like a plan.Rotoworld:

That could also be that they're letting him change plays at the LOS and want him doing his patented barking orders to the line.Rotoworld:

What a huge game for his legacy (as well as Brady).At least one more game to go. Knock Belichick off one more time.
Agreed. The Broncos D is great, but they will have to be all-time great, ala the 2000 Ravens or 2002 Bucs, the next two games for them to win it. Peyton is just physically done; it's clear as day.i'm pulling for him, but after watching some of those throws today, i can't see how he's going to get it done against New England or the Cardinals/Panthers.
Some were off but there was a 20 mph cross wind. Plus he had like 6 drops from his receivers a few of which would have been huge plays. I didn't think he looked as bad as he did in the regular season. Looked average today.i'm pulling for him, but after watching some of those throws today, i can't see how he's going to get it done against New England or the Cardinals/Panthers.
i actually really like the guy. and yeah, he made a few great throws today too. but even on the drops, it just seemed like something was a bit off, and i can't help but wonder if more of that is on Manning than people want to admit.Some were off but there was a 20 mph cross wind.

If the ball hitsan NFL caliber WR in the hands, I don't know how you can put the incompletion on the QB.i actually really like the guy. and yeah, he made a few great throws today too. but even on the drops, it just seemed like something was a bit off, and i can't help but wonder if more of that is on Manning than people want to admit.Some were off but there was a 20 mph cross wind.

True, but at one point in today's game the announcers said that a ball was dropped because it was tipped. The replay showed it wasn't tipped. It was just a dead duck. Peyton is throwing a real ugly ball this year, and even when it's on target it's not that easy to catch.If the ball hitsan NFL caliber WR in the hands, I don't know how you can put the incompletion on the QB.i actually really like the guy. and yeah, he made a few great throws today too. but even on the drops, it just seemed like something was a bit off, and i can't help but wonder if more of that is on Manning than people want to admit.Some were off but there was a 20 mph cross wind.

That's true, but I don't think it's really new. He's never had a nice tight spiral.True, but at one point in today's game the announcers said that a ball was dropped because it was tipped.

I love their chess matches and will miss them greatly when he retires.What a huge game for his legacy (as well as Brady).At least one more game to go. Knock Belichick off one more time.
Peyton reminds me a lot of Unitas at the end and it would be great to see him ride off into the sunset a winner rather than how Unitas went out (shutout vs. the Dolphins with 3 INT's).
Yeah the possibility of Manning beating Brady and going to the Super Bowl is not entertaining. It's not the biggest game of the year until this point.Definitely last ever, right?Another Brady v Manning game. Enjoy it.
Peyton seldom throws a pretty ball, that's not his thing. What has made Manning great is recognizing defenses and adjusting and his accuracy. I see the latter slipping some, but a 40+ year old Manning is still better than most QBs.never...geeshThat's true, but I don't think it's really new.

If you say so, he was a top 2 draft pick for a reason and it wasn't for reading defenses when he's 40. And there's hardly anyone he's better than right now.JohnnyU said:Peyton seldom throws a pretty ball, that's not his thing.

I hate the Broncos but am rooting for Peyton. It really seems that this is the end of Peyton the QB. I cannot imagine him coming back next season. Physically, he cannot do it.Godsbrother said:I like Peyton but I do think he is done. He was not very impressive yesterday and the announcers were making a big deal out of the drops. Every QB has passes dropped -- the Steelers had several including a drop in the end zone that should have been caught.
I'll be rooting for him next week and if he somehow manages to make to the Super Bowl but he needs to hang it up after this year,
