ManningVsLuck

For who? Colts have no shot in Denver. After the game, look at bright side , both QB's will be <. 500 in playoffs

Teams win and lose games not just QB's. It isn't Manning versus Luck. It's the Broncos versus the Colts. Quit watching ESPN and listening to Skip Bayless and get a clue. Just saying.

Actually, that's not true no matter who wins. Colts win, Luck's teams will be 3-2 in the playoffs. Broncos win, and Manning's teams will be 12-12.

Well I was going under the assumption that Broncos win and Luck would be 2-3 and my bad I thought Peyton was 11-13 not 11-12 so I was wrong again

 

[sonnyblack65]

That sounds good to me! I need an avatar anyway!

Ok Duckster you on for 1 month you have Colts plus 8

Peyton Manning will be only the 2nd QB ever to play the team he won a Super Bowl with in the playoffs.

Free cookie for anyone who can name the other QB to do it.

 

[redseat]

All depends which Manning and Luck show up. Injured Manning? INT lately throwing Luck? Healthy Manning, Healthly, accurate Luck?

I still see the Broncos winning this game but I don't see this being a blow-out

To me it is not so much about Manning anymore in Denver. They have worked hard to establish a run game over the final 5-6 weeks of the season and they definitely accomplished that goal. To me Manning in this one will be more the game manager than need to be the all-star he has been in the past. Before this season Manning had not won a game with the Broncos where he had a quarterback rating under 90. Now he has done it something like 3 times over the last month of the season. Luck on the other hand is everything to that offense. They have very little for a run game so if Luck has a bad day they are finished. Manning can still have a bad day and the Broncos win this game.

Yep. I know it was against the Raiders, but the Broncos put up 47 points in the final game of the season without a touchdown pass from Manning.

The Broncos aren't as reliant on Manning as they have been.

I think most still think we are the Broncos of last year. This really is such a different team and style of offense that we play now. Heck we almost go goal line type formations to start most games anymore to work and establish the run early on. Other than at the end of halves we haven't seen much of the no huddle hurry up offense for about half of this season. So again this is a very different offense that is based around the team trying to recreate what Elway had at the end of his career where he was more the game manager while we worked to wear teams down with the run.

Montana?

Is this a real inquiry? I can tell you it's wrong without even looking it up. Do you ever remember a cheifs 49ers Super Bowl?

Craig Morton.

Nope. He wasn't the starter for the Cowboys.

 

[Broncos6482]

Nope. He wasn't the starter for the Cowboys.

You didn't say anything about being a starter, you just said "to play the team he won a Super Bowl with in the playoffs." Morton qualifies, as he won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys and then played them later in the Super Bowl.

Fair enough. He didn't actually play in the game but he was on the roster.

Anyway I meant, actually played.
