Thread: Sunday's Forecast

As of now the forecasted high in Denver for Sunday is 19. Just wanted to put that out there.

Peyton can go a long ways in dispelling my doubts by going ham on the Titans.

It's the Titans. We've lost two games in bad weater, in overtime, to two good teams. We better drop the hammer.

I'd love to see him destroy Tennessee, but even if he does to HAM and Denver blows Tennessee up, there will still be people out there that pull the "but it was the TITANS and it doesn't prove anything" card. Joel.

I don't care who it is against. I just want to see the same type of passes that he was making today. To me it is about Peyton vs the cold weather that I want to see.

I don't give a f what people think or say about Peyton and cold weather. Oh, it's cold so broncos will automatically lose cuz mr. Sniffles will make the ball hard.

They will see come playoffs. They will see.

It would be an easier argument Under, if Manning hadn't shown himself to struggle not only in dismal weather conditions but in the playoffs as well. Two separate monkeys on his back which he has to exorcize himself with the help of his teammates...just as Elway had to do when it came to winning the Super Bowl. I think it will be fine in the end, but there is an argument there for or against, I don't think any of us want him to fail, but are pessimistic because he has done so far too much for some of us to be completely at ease.

It's Global Warming! (tm)

Actually a good thing I think. This will be well below freezing game #2 on the year, experience and getting familiar with what we can and can not do in the cold will be big time come January (and maybe February).

I just think it is a dumb argument. How many Qbs do really well in the cold? I bet most all of QBs numbers dip a bit. To my best memory brady, big ben, and eli are the only QBs to have won consistently in the playoffs. All other Qbs- flacco,rodgers, rivers, brees, Romo, Matt ryan, Russell wilson, Capernick- have as many or less superbowl wins than manning. So unless we say ALL QBs aside from Brady, Ben and Eli cant win in the cold I find it a very weak and stupid argument. It, to me, has the relevance of saying manning cant win if the field is painted with green lettering.

The only thing that's going to dispel the 'Manning can't win in cold weather' perception is a super bowl win this season.

peyton was wearing a fitted glove on his passing hand yesterday. not sure what that was all about

For a lot of people, yes.

How many have had nerve damage? Given how he played in the Balt playoff game (no deep passes) and again against NE last week, I think it is a very valid concern. One I hope he gets rid of this week against Tennessee.
