Peyton needs to be benched (for a little while anyways)

**dlunc3** · 10-19-15, 10:25 AM

Cant bench a qb on a 6-0 team. They need to pound the run game and let him manage like those Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer super bowl teams.

Rigatoni or linguini?

That's a great idea here if the had the O line for this.

Its their only option. Worked yesterday

**FlipsideRM** · 10-19-15, 11:07 AM

I thought it was over reaction and he would get it together but he's now done this to horrible defenses like the Ravens, raiders and Browns. He's done

**t-wizzle** · 10-19-15, 11:12 AM

Actually what he needs to do is retire.

**jtoler** · 10-19-15, 11:13 AM

Im split on Peyton, arm is a liability at this point but he's always been accurate and he does a good job at throwing to a spot and the receivers go and get it, still they need a 3rd dynamic receiver in order to thrive. Thomas and Sanders are good but need another go to, seems they dont utilize their tight ends enough or something. Running game isnt doing much so maybe offensive line isnt that good at run blocking. Probably should just go ahead and hang em up, I wonder if he thinks he has a legit chance to get another ring. I bet Elway cant wait for the guy to retire.

Sure you can if he's not the reason youre winning, but Peyton's name alone wont let any head coach bench him especially in this spot. Peyton would retire anyway before he became a backup.

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 10-19-15, 11:18 AM

Twice against the Browns, he threw to a receiver who was covered by a DB and with an LB underneath. His judgement has declined along with his arm.

**jjgold** · 10-19-15, 11:19 AM

Well it is all about winning in NFL

I say this is his last year

**R.P. McMurphy** · 10-19-15, 11:26 AM

Yeah this has very slim shot at working out and has 1 done written all over it. Denver gonna wind up like 12/13 wins be a 2 seed getting the bye. What's gonna happen typical sit half team and mail in wk 17 with a 3 wk layoff. Usually never works out and never has with noodle arm even when he could throw.

**R.P. McMurphy** · 10-19-15, 01:14 PM

Completing 61% avg 254 yards gm, 7 td vs 10 picks. Could most backups do much worse? Don't think he gets the hook during season but this is his curtain call when in Denver.

**Ballerholic** · 10-19-15, 01:19 PM

peyton is too accurate. Lol at noodle arm homo though haha

**TheMoneyShot** · 10-19-15, 01:39 PM

Classic 6-0 LUCKY START

Could easily be 3-3

is he going to win a super bowl? no chance in my opinion. which is a shame because this is a strong team. we need to see what the kid is. the kid might step in and be the man. if not, you go back to noodle-arm and you're no worse off, maybe better because the old man got some rest.

**R.P. McMurphy** · 10-19-15, 02:27 PM

Most certainly not gonna win a SB I knew he was done after Seahawks title gm honestly and knew it was all downhill from there. Like I said he's putting up backup #'s and throwing the ball terrible. Just wouldn't be surprised if they let him ride it out unless things turn even worse. Elway is done with him the writing on wall came this off season stripping him of his power , New coaches, New scheme basically sending a msg we don't care if you come back or not. Next year he won't have the option!

**hustlehard617** · 10-19-15, 02:28 PM

He had all off season to rest Peyton is finished

**goduke** · 10-19-15, 02:55 PM

broncos are probably going to win the super bowl. Save these threads for later. that team will battle to their death for that guy to save his legacy

**Goat Milk** · 10-19-15, 02:55 PM

He has the best WR tandem in the NFL....no excuses....

Running game will not be enough to carry denver. Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson? Please. That's 80 yards combined against a good d if they're lucky. If Manning doesn't get it right Denver is not gonna be winning anything in the playoffs. I'm waiting for him to play a high scoring offense in cold weather. That will be the barometer for manning. These games early on don't mean much.

**gregm** · 10-19-15, 03:39 PM

This is a tough crowd, most teams would love these kinds of problems and a peyton manning. the broncos are 6-0 and headed for another playoffs. Manning has always started slow every year with the broncos but taken them to the playoffs every year and a super bowl.

The broncos had been absolutely miserable for 13 years since elway other than a good year in 2005 and pretty good year in 2000, the broncos were usually a .500 team before Manning got here.

Enjoy this last year, it could easily get back to the Brian Griese /Gus Frerotte/Jake Plummer/Jay Cutler/Tim Tebow/Kyle Orton era again. Brock Osweiler????

But that arm though.

**R.P. McMurphy** · 10-19-15, 03:56 PM

Yeah Greg I hear ya but when it's over its over. Like I said probably unlikely happen during season unless he gets hurt or has couple more 3 pick games like yesterday and they lose. Obviously none of us know for sure how guys in that locker room feel but I'm guessing majority at least have his back.

Also how much faith does the organization and players have right now in Osweiler? I would guess especially in this day and age we would have heard from someone by now even via the old standbye "anonymous source" raving about how Osweiler has a cannon arm, pinpoint accuracy and wow factor off charts. If he was next big thing certainly someone would have taken a shot by now about how the old man is holding us back and the future is holding a clipboard.

Definitely a easier decision to make in off season following another playoff failure. Seriously if they find a way to win 1 gm how they gonna beat Brady at NE It's not happening folks. If Osweiler is not answer expect Elway to be aggressive in pursuit of a signal caller next off season.

**R.P. McMurphy** · 10-19-15, 04:06 PM

Honestly I jumped the gun a bit my bad haha. Overlooked Cincy they are 2nd best all around team in afc right now and more likely to sustain final 2 months than Denver. So Manning even at 12-4 or so might be playing wk 1 wildcard needing 2 games to get at Brady!

**govolz** · 10-19-15, 04:36 PM

So u had the Broncos -3.5 huh...

**scumbag** · 12-01-15, 03:22 PM

clearly a better team with osweiler at QB.
