4.24 YPA for Manning. It's early, and the Ravens have a defense, but seems a lot like end of the year Peyton. Can pick you apart underneath, but throws 15 yards down field and further are erratic.

And wings that out out there for a pick 6.

Feels weird to root for Denver/Manning, but post that INT I'd rather they win then the whining Ravens.

what horrible QB play in the SD game... 4 interceptions so far (2 for each)

Whoever would have thought that the DEN OL and QB would be their biggest issues.  This is a playoff caliber D and the WR are top notch.  No OL and QB will kill you.

Shelter would tell us if Jimmy Smith gets the pick 6, you are in trouble

Also, I thought Kubiak's master plan was to run the ball more and save Peyton's arm for later in the season.

Today? 29 passes, 11 runs.

Everyone in the house knew the Hawks were running on 4th and one. I mean they have Marshawn freaking Lynch!! Obviously they run in that position.

Seems like the Rams knew this and they stopped Marshawn freaking Lynch.

But clearly a pass would have been an indefensible decision.

This is painful to watch. Simms making the essential points by indirection.

The funny thing is that the Broncos could choose to run instead but now that the defense sees that Pey Pey can't throw more than 10 yards, the safeties will be up so close they'll be able to hit the rb's at the line of scrimmage.

3rd and 17 and he throws a 6 yard pass, after never trying to run

If Peyton were really a winner -- if this wasn't about him-- they'd have committed to run early and stayed with it.

Denver is in no danger of getting blown out of this game. None

Demaryius wasn't even looking for the ball as he ran his route. Jogging at the end. Not like Peyton could throw it that far anyway
