Said in another thread we'd come out of this game not fearing either team. Not feeling any different after that half.
Drops are catchable balls. I've seen only one which was a drop so far. Peyton has been absolutely terrible throwing the ball. They are floating largely because he simply cannot throw a spiral.
Pats had 8 drops yesterday.
A Broncos 3 and Out or a turnover coming out of the Half, Kubiak will put Brock in for a spark.
I'm assuming Antonio Brown will be good for the game if they do end up winning. That is my only concern regarding the steelers.
As for Denver, I just hate playing in Denver.

I don't get it. Why does NBCs production look so much better? Do they really have trade secrets?
Come on. They are drops no matter how the ball is floating. They just showed them.
CBS does the least amount of sports production of all the major networks between their broadcast and cable outlets. They have a shallower bench.
In all seriousness, they're still good, all things considered, but they do have a couple bad moments every game.
I was listening on the radio and Manning was treated like the last kid on a Little League roster. He gets stuck in RF and gets huge cheers when he simply throws the ball back into the IF.
I see this as well, although I'd probably prefer to play Denver if the game would be in Foxboro either way. I just don't think I want anything to do with having to play in Denver (too many bad memories of that place).
Tonight Peyton fulfills his Favreian legacy by throwing a backbreaking pick to end the game and career (before heroically coming back with a new team).
The picture in the game yesterday on NBC was so good on my screen. It was resolution like you get on a 40 inch tv. Fox and CBS aren't as good and they should be.
I feel better about beating Pitt while simultaneously thinking a blowout would be more likely against Denver, if that makes any sense.
I'd rather he get too close under his center and do a dirty sanchez butt fumble to end his career.
Peyton hasn't thrown a spiral since he came to Denver and it wasn't an issue before the end of last year. Part of it is on the receivers - Thomas has always had an issue with drops.
That being said, I rewatched the first quarter, and I may have overstated it. Several balls that looked like drops will most likely not be ruled as catchable. The second pass of the game was a drop, but other than that, he may not have had another one that quarter.
Broncos playing good defense to be right there, just as they have all year. Pitt can't run the ball at all.
Manning's throwing his usual ducks, but he's been accurate and made good decisions
