Yeah..if the Donks beat the Chargers on Thurs...Burrow is frosting his tips in January.

LA isnt dropping 3 in a row with their schedule...

I would much rather have Nix in the post-season than a red-hot Burrow...even though I want the Donks to never see the play-offs again., I'm pragmatic.

Denver is a one-off post-season team...things just happened to align for them schedule-wise + catching injured opponents.

Let's see the Donks earn a SB in legit fashion on a level playing field because such a thing has never been seen by anyone & that includes you.

I sifted back a ways in this thread and saw the dumb trash that you & other Donktards were talking, after the Donks were gifted SB 50, about how the Donks were going to keep on being contenders while BlackOp said that once 5-Head Manning hung up the cleats that the Donks were going to the abyss.

BlackOp was right and you were wrong. What was that you were saying about karma?

The Manning Super Bowl win counts. Not sure what your issue is with it but unlike the Terrel Davis Super Bowls they didn’t get busted for cheating the salary cap to win it.

RUBBISH !! The Manning gift doesn't count. Where the hell would you get the idea that it does? The media narrative throughout that entire 2015 season was Manning retiring with a SB trophy & the NFL made it happen, and anyone thinking otherwise is completely out of touch with reality.

Did you not see that Sunday night game that year against NE that was stolen from the Pats by the officials (the bogus OPI against Gronk on his catch that would have sealed the game)? They didn't want the Pats to have any H2H tiebreaker with the Donks. Go to page 220 of this very thread to see posts about it at the time that game was played.

If you think that the NFL can't fix games through the officials on the field, then you are out of touch with reality. They can LEGALLY fix any game, at any time. The issue has gone before the Supreme Court already with the NFL being acquitted on the matter. The NFL is classified as "Sports Entertainment" and it reared its ugly head & manifested itself in full force in the '90's and everything has had a shadow of doubt cast over it since then.

And the Donks cheating the salary cap in the late '90's wasn't the only mitigating factor, either.

Only beaten one team all season with a winning record.

The NFL had to drag him to that SB.

I guess illegally using HGH to prolong your career is something everyone should do?

That Denver team was constructed because Manning was doping...Ware, Ward, Talib and Sanders signed on to play for a ring. It's cause and effect.

Sanders ditched out on KC after they had a deal in place...he wanted to pad his stats playing for a QB that should have been retired.

Like I've said...if you take HGH out of equation that team doesnt exist...it would have been the Tebow show. Manning could barely throw a football his final year (HGH testing began)...which should have been the case his first year in Denver. Indy let him walk because their doctors were convinced he was finished.

Manning actually hired goons to go to the whistleblowers house and intimidate him (surely a sign of his innocence)...he just happened to work for the place that was sending the drugs directly to Manning's house. In the end, it worked. He wasn't that invested in exposing the scandal and dealing with potential lawsuits from deep pockets...he was just bringing the discrepancy to light and Manning's lawfare tactics squashed it. NFL has essentially buried the scandal too...you never hear their mouthpieces mention it....it's been memory-holed.

It was an ugly win and sloppy after the bye, but they won and that’s all that matters. Snapped the losing season streak, which is good and they are in line for 10 wins and a playoff spot. Nix showed some rookie mistakes yesterday and they still cannot establish a ground attack, but Nix is showing he can be a good QB.

Hopefully Surtain’s injury is minor and Riley is back soon. At this point, they have cleared my expectations for the season. I have no delusion of playoff success. Just keep improving as a team and they can add a few key pieces in 2025.

Short week to visit the Chargers, then at CIN and home for KC. Get 10 wins, minimum. The next 3 will be tough, especially that Bengals offense.

Why'd they bury Estime as quickly as they did?

He looked to be gaining a little momentum and as soon as he seemed poised to take control of the RB situation, he was relegated to 3rd string, not to be heard of again.

Is there a pass pro issue that we don't see? Because he looked to be the guy most equipped to really give their running game a boost.

I read their D had a pick 6 for a TD...their scoring drives were 5, 15 and 35 yards. Nix had 3 picks.

Didnt see the game...why would I watch that mediocre trash? Heard they were out muscled for the majority of it.

Wouldn't be getting too excited in Donko Land given this was a must-win against a below-average 6 win team...and they had 2 weeks to prepare. The only reason this game was even being talked about is every other AFC team is terrible.

Not sure, maybe he fumbled and found himself in the doghouse. It’s a mystery really to me that they can’t find a way to run the ball with their 3 RBs and a mobile QB.

Only 6 of 33 passes went further than 8 yards yesterday. Of the 6 that went further than 8 yards downfield, he was 2/6, 2 TD’s and 3 INT’s

Inept performance in his biggest game as a pro...pretty much killed his ROTY bid...even before these last 3 games would have.

He didnt play well against the Browns either...that's 5 INTs in the past two games.

[BlackOp]

Holy shit...just saw that Taylor play. Donks are posers...Colts didnt deserve that TD being wiped because of a split-second technicality.

Indy would have been up two scores...

That was his biggest game to date? You are fun to read. Regarding the Taylor fumble at the goal, guess that was the league helping them, yeah?

Nix has as many INTs as Pat and others have more. Your freak out meter is strong today.

And I don’t worry much about accolades like ROTY, but that game didn’t ruin his chances.
