"Pass was tipped"

Um, no. All of Manning's passes are wobbly like that. He sucks. I'm amazed Denver hasn't put in Osweiler yet.

 

[Just a bit outside]

It was tipped. Actually it came out of his hand funny. Lol

 

[Peak Oil Can Boyd]

Ball flight looks so bad Simms says it was tipped. Replay shows otherwise.

 

[ifmanis5]

Simms: Into the wind on that side of the field, not Peyton's fault.

 

[3rd Degree]

I would bet the house on DPI right here.

Love Nantz and Simms doing everything they can to explain away that wounded duck.

 

[mauidano]

Their fourth FG is going to give them the lead lol.

Math?

 

[McBride11]

Doing everything to say it wasnt a bad pass

 

[ypioca]

"Came out of his hand funny" - the sharpest criticism of Manning by Nantz yet.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Tough end of the field to throw at..

 

[ilol@u]

Bad TO taken. Big play here by the D. Might want to start blitzing and let Peyton try to throw it deep.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Can Manning throw it 11 yards against this wind?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Keep making fucking excuses for him Simms. That was a duck.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ball flight looks so bad Simms says
.

Sung to the National jingle

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Keep making fucking excuses for him Simms. That was a duck.

The wind is so powerful it affects his fingers.

 

[crossdog]

I would much rather the Pats go against Manning then Brock.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Math?

Oh wow, for some reason I forgot about the second Pitts FG.

Woo!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Another uncatchable throw on 3rd down

 

[mauidano]

Good Lord Peyton, here was THAT throw going?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Another uncatchable throw on 3rd down

File it under "DROP".

 

[ypioca]

What happened with that pass? The rarified air sailed it?

 

[ilol@u]

Bend but don't break. Make Denver FG you to death.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Denver will win 21-20 on 7 FGs

 

[kelpapa]

OK, Peyton has been dogshit this quarter.

 

[Average Reds]

Is it me or has the quality of average kicker gone way, way up over the past few years?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

Whenever he gets something on a throw he has no idea where it's going. He has to choose between accuracy and speed with each throw. Tight coverage would destroy him.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pittsburgh needs a touchdown. Raht on this drive.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nantz and Simms are so fucking bad. Have they mentioned that Peyton Manning, ManGod, is struggling against the 30th ranked pass defense in the NFL? Nope. Phantom tips and wind. Disgraceful.

 

[brandonchristensen]

OK, Peyton has been dogshit this season.

FTFY

 

[Norm Siebern]

Manning has obviously inspired McManus to greatness today

[mikeot]

I fear the league more than the home team if the Pats have to play here next week.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I was afraid the stiffarm would get called for hands to the face

 

[ifmanis5]

Ben with no shoulder is still out-throwing Peyton.

[Just a bit outside]

Elway and Kubiak need to be thinking of the phantom injury for Manning if they win this game.

 

[ypioca]

Simms isn't doing himself any favors by dressing like the old-guy villain in a college movie.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Whoa, a DPI?

 

[WalletTrack]

SHOCK!

 

[semsox]

Simms incredulous

 

[staz]

Finally!

 

[Stitch01]

Seemed more like illegal contact to me

 

[kelpapa]

FTFY

Well yea, outside of the Packers game, he's been awful this year.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Token flag. I'll take it.

 

[pokey_reese]

Thanks zebras!

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

So uncatchable doesn't apply

 

[semsox]

It wasn't catchable because he initiated contact immediately and prevented him from running his route

 

[Old Fart Tree]

First penalty of the game on Denver. Yup, that's about right.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Against the 30th ranked pass defense in the NFL. If the Steelers faced an actual NFL QB they would be carved the fuck up.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

He mugged the WR, though pass seemed awfully long.

 

[Manzivino]

That was either illegal contact or defensive holding, not dpi, but I'll take it.
