How many drops can the Broncos receivers drop if the Broncos receivers could drop drops?

Congrats to Carolina...couldn't cope with the field conditions in the first half and they dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Wondering if our linemen changed cleats at halftime.

Apparently a bunch of them did switch to longer cleats.

I read this, Peyton drops the snap.

Coincidence? Perhaps.

Been watching the sport for years but still don't suite understand the rules. That throw then to the end zone, the defender never once looked back and had his hands all over the receiver yet no flag. Why?

You can not look back and have very minor contact and its not a penalty. But if you wave a hand in the players face to block the WRs vision with the back turned its "face guarding" and a PI penalty. If you face guard in college though its not a PI penalty. RULZ RULZ RULZ.

Refs also allow more contract in the playoffs though SHIELD will never admit it.

As a note even though I am rooting for the Steelers that wasn't a penalty, just a catch that should have been made.

Catchable? Not that I saw the play in question.

Ah yeah true, forgot about that.

Now that was pass interference.

Glad y'all liked that. First thing that came to mind.

OT - I just decided that if I was an instant billionaire, after I get that cheese on toast flyover done and put up the dosh for Yarmo, I'd bring these over for the next derby at Goodison.

I'd put 'em in sharp new royal blue unis, park them in the main stand right across from the kopites over in the Bullens and let them have it all day long. When they start singing that [redacted] song, these kids will kick off 'Neck and render them (and everything else) inaudible. You have no idea how loud this actually is when you're there in front of them.

Get these under the roof at Goodison and the entire structure would be in danger, tbh.

Can't decide who was worse there - Denver or the Steelers.

The Pats will make short work of Denver next week on this showing.

Brady vs Manning. One last time folks. For all the AFC Marbles.

This is Mannings last hurrah! I very much doubt he will be a Bronco next year.

Denver has a good D and they are at home so they got an OK chance. As far as the Steelers go, meh, it was a good season. Made the final 8 despite injuries and a tough schedule.

Pats getting key players back just at the right time; Brady in imperious form; Manning looking like a middle aged man out there. I see only one outcome.
