"On a beautiful day in Denver, it was hard to imagine Peyton Manning being better. Ever. We’ve been saying that for a month now, since the seven-touchdown-pass extravaganza on a stormy opening Thursday night rout of the Ravens. But Sunday, the 37-year-old quarterback living out his wildest dreams continued this run of greatness that is unprecedented even to him.
On Manning’s final four touchdown drives of the day against Philadelphia, Denver never ran a third-down play.
Denver had 12 second downs on the four drives. Manning converted all of them into first downs.
Eleven plays, 80 yards. Ten plays, 80 yards. Eight plays, 80 yards. Seven plays, 65 yards.
That’s 36 plays, 28 points, 305 yards. And no third downs.
Ninety minutes after the 52-20 victory over Philadelphia, I told one of the four musketeers Manning uses as his weapons, wide receiver Eric Decker, about the no-third-down thing. He paused for three or four seconds, taking it in, then said: “That is crazy. Crazy. But our mentality is to convert everything. First down, second down, first down, touchdown..."

I love the Broncos. Been watching them for 35+ years as a devoted fan.
Every year I want them to dominate. I want them to be unstoppable. I want them to CRUSH people.
I would think that my every dream is coming true concerning the Broncos right now.
The stat above is CRAZY.
I should be really, really happy.
But I got this thing in my craw. This knot in my stomach. CAN THIS REALLY BE WHAT I THINK IT IS?
Gulp. Its like, too good to be true. Watching it all begin on thursday night against the Ravens, I was SO pumped.
Each game it has been a dancefest until after this last one.
Im like a deer in the headlights.
Its like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and knowing that it shouldnt be there, so therefore not being able to enjoy it.
I get the feeling I wont have another peaceful thought concerning the BRONCOS until we lift that Lombardi this year if thats whats in store.
This may be the worst team in the history of the NFL................I refuse to say it.
Im going to watch every game going forward knowing that I we may be witnessing something that will be remembered for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.
BRONCOS BABY.
YES!!!!!!!
