I am going for picking the Broncos as well, I don't care how many people are missing form the defense, Peyton has shiny new toys, and I doubt the Ravens WRs can bail out Flaaco as easily as last postseason, Boldin isn't there anymore, and his other favorite target is missing for the season in Dennis Pitta.

Dumervil is going to be all over peyton.

Nobody really gets all over Manning. JJ Watt sort of, but even then he had a game that would be considered great by most other QBs.

Anyways my pick is Denver because Flacco is ass in the regular season.

Either way on the long run idc, cause im a pats fan! Woo!

I'm a Patriots fan too, but I've grown a healthy respect for Manning over the years. I'm not betting against him at home.

Broncos are going to destroy Ravens...

[xskarma]

Great, that's going to mean having the Final Countdown in my head for the rest of the night. -_-

[conscript]

Football!

And already sick of the Sunday Night crew.

And game delayed. Blargh.

God damn Chris Colinsworthless. He says that Flaaco was playing well, sure, he was playing well enough, but his WRs were playing out of their god damn minds, bailing him out of bad situations like nobody's business.

His voice makes me want to murder someone as well. I know that others feel the same.

NFL network just turned into the weather channel, showing the doppler, radar, everything. Thought that was pretty funny.

Collinsworth about killed Madden for me. Then they replaced him with Phil Simms.... Can't we just clone Pat Summerall and John Madden?

9:10 EST kickoff time now.

If only, if only. Joe Buck is another one that irks the hell out of me, when I found out that the Aikman/Buck crew were announcing my Niners game, I let out a massive NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Freaking Joe Buck. Still better than Collinsworth though.

Joe Buck is so emotionless. The NFL, and all the major sports frankly, should use local crews for nationally televised games. Almost without exception the local crews are far, far more interesting to listen to than the national crews. Take baseball. Would you rather listen to Joe Buck call a Dodgers game on Fox in the playoffs or Vin Freaking Scully? No one in this universe would pick Joe Buck over any of baseballs legendary or even just their very good announcers. In hockey not many would rather listen to Doc Emmerick, Eddie O, and Pierre McGuire over Randy Hahn, Ken Daniels, Bob Cole, Dave Strader or a handful of other amazing local guys. I'm sure there are a number of far more interesting local crews in the NFL than Joe Bucks/Troy Aikman, Al Michaels/Collinsworth, etc. Crews that actually know the players on the field, what the teams have went through this season and in seasons past because they watch every one of their games.

I hate touchbacks.

[xskarma]

First blood Ravens. Lack of pass rush seems noticable with how much time Flacco had there a few times.

Welker doing what Welker does best. Just as I was coming to terms not having him on the Pats anymore. fml

[Badpaladin]

How does this make any sense? Flacco above 60% completion rating in the regular season? Well I guess he sort of exploded in the first couple of games last season too. And man Denver's defense doesn't look like they know what to do with Torrey Smith.

[Robbyjawz]

Beautiful pick there by Harris, nice pass under pressure by Manning the Elder to follow it up too.

[Vetali]

That is a craaaaazy pick. Considering a tight end has never won that award, and you're not exactly picking one of the super stars in their prime like Graham or Gronk. Any reasoning behind that one?

Was supposed to retire, came back to win it all for the Falcons, gonna have a great year on the stacked receiving end of Atlanta.

[xskarma]

Nice try, Welker, trying to make me feel better, but it's not helping.

[Badpaladin]

Holy shit Julius Thomas where did you come from

To win that award he is going to have to put up something like 2,000 yards and 12 TDs. Never Going To Happen. Megatron shattered the receiving yard record last year, received TWO OPY votes. TWO. TGon would have to lead the NFL in receiving (won't happen), lead his team in TDs (could happen), blow everyone away at his position in receptions, yards, and TDs (won't happen with Graham uninjured), and need no QBs or RBs to have standout years (won't happen).

There is a 0% chance TGon receives a single OPY vote. Zero Percent.

He finally got healthy lol.

[Robbyjawz]

Damn, that has to hurt. Going from a play that should have been called incomplete to a TD. As the guy who is not Collinsworth said: that is an advantage of a no-huddle offense.
