Thread: Poor Chargers....they just never knew what was coming that night

That game makes me miss Doom and Deck. Made some great plays that night.

This was at the point in the season where we were 2-3 and getting pounded by the Chargers. I remember thinking that Manning wasn't going to work here as I felt the season slipping away.

I'm glad I was wrong about that.

I loved that play by PFM when he got caught in the pocket, avoided the pressure, made lovely jump play before making a pass - that is actually one of my favourite broncos single plays. It is up there with TD snapping that boy in half during the pre-season game and the helicopter play for me.

maybe i am confused, i cant find that clip on youtube

As much as I hate to admit - I love those baby blue uniforms.

That game was the tipping point of the Peyton Manning era here. As VonDoom said, it was looking pretty shaky at 2-3 and getting killed in that game, but man, the rest was history after that.

I had actually turned the channel at halftime and turned it back in the 3rd quarter just to see how bad it had gotten and I'm glad i stuck around after that. What an incredible game.

I'm with you Dave. I'm highly skeptical whenever I see "Manning" and "jumping" in the same sentence.

I remember turning that game off just before halftime. Still recorded it though.

I remember watching the game and hoping we would come back.

As opposed to the games when we fall behind and you aren't hoping we would come back?

No. If I'm able to watch, I watch the entire game. It's not very often I change the channel or turn off a game. It can lead to some good memories. I remember Tennessee losing at LSU 21-0 at the half.

Oh I know, I just found it funny that you felt the need to clarify that you were hoping we would come back, as that would seemingly be the default position when the team you are rooting for is losing.

Oh. I just woke up.

Man, I felt awful for the Charger fans that night.


Bahahaha!!!
