That is probably what he should do... but I feel like he is the sort of person that if he can at all play he will.

Yeah, and why would he voluntarily go to Denver? I don't see him doing that. the only way Denver is getting Manning is if they pay him a shit-ton.

I was joking about the last part, but as far as speculation goes, I could see it happening -- I'm not completely concrete on this, but I get the sense that he likes Denver (at least based on his accolades for the city and organization back in 2005(6?) when he won a very close and exciting game). Plus it's not like Denver is broke with Tebow and Elway in the house.

It's ridiculous speculation, but as far as reality I actually do think he should make a career move to coaching. I really like the guy and genuinely hope he doesn't risk breaking his neck again.

[Pendulous]

Oh, no doubt Manning should coach. You don't waste that talent by say, sitting in a booth for a few years. Manning not coaching would be like a crime against humanity.

[Northy]

I have to lol at the Chicago Bears team. Even as a fan... Can someone please tell me when my nightmare is over....

[wombinator04]

I'd assume that many people have honked already.

........Really Texans....really? Now I'm just depressed Instead of mad. The Cowboys and the Texans just makes me want to shoot myself.
The Texans will lose their first playoff game If they continue to be retarded.

[Thallidomaniac]

And Indy wins again. Why do I think the Colts are about to meltdown in their fight for the #1 overall pick in the draft...

[Badpaladin]

With all the coverage about Manning being possibly grabbed by another team .... and Manning's silence on the matter, I'm wondering if he's really going to no longer be in Indy. The owner is pretty clear about wanting to keep him, but nothing on Manning's end is pretty saucy.

[Sykol]

What's better than a first round draft pick? Winning two games in a season. And probably for the next decade.

[Thallidomaniac]

Two missed Field Goals for the Bills... This will probably be yet another easy win for the Broncos and yet another loss as part of the Bills' freefall from grace.

Scratch that. Broncos allow 17 points in the 2nd quarter.

[Pendulous]

Tim Tebow IS the problem here (aside from the shitty special teams). But it's not his passing. His only pull back and run on the option in the first half was a no gainer on third down. he's had an eternity of room on most option plays but ends up dumping it off every time. Pull it back, run some more yourself. I don't get why he doesn't; he's been running option all his life, he should know what he needs to do.

If you guys haven't seen it, check out Jerome Simpson's aerobatic touchdown for the Bengals, just wow..

Anyway it's evening here in the UK so I'm off to the pub. If I don't catch you guys later when I'm most likely drunk, have a great Christmas o7

[Sills]

Simpson's touchdown was...just....awww yeah! Lets just say the Jets and Giants game is not really the thriller I was hoping for thus far...

That's been the game on over here in the UK. Watching the number of footballs ping off someone's head goes from funny to depressing really fast. The Giants endzone to endzone TD was pretty sweet though.


Oh and go Raiders! (and Giants, Jags, Cardinals *HAH!* and Bills)

[Thallidomaniac]

And Tebow throws another pick leading to a pick 6. Those fans chanting "Tebow sucks" were right to begin with.

[Pendulous]

Denver's gonna lose, Giants are gonna win. This week's turning out bad for me. If Dallas loses, it's all over.

Noooo! That means the Dream Team Eagles won't get into the playoffs this time! So much for Dream Team indeed.

And Romo injures his right hand in the Eagles game, not sure what this will mean, but at least (for now) there's no chance for Romo to pull off a Romo-esque late season/game meltdown.

[Pendulous]

So Dallas decided not to play this week, so I'm just not gonna even care about the rest of the game.

Man I don't even get it. How does a QB with one of the best TD/INT ratios throw four fucking touchdowns? And to top that off, his worst performance was in the fourth quarter??? I'm dumbfounded. Actually, no I'm not. Considering we fucking ruined our chances at playoffs in 2008 at Buffalo with the same record, I'm not surprised at all.

I have aboslutely zero confidence that Denver will make the playoffs this season. Maybe next year when Tebow has an offseason, the defense adjusts to 4-3 more and we get a runningback that doesn't get injured every other game we could do it.

[Thallidomaniac]

Boo, Dallas had to ruin a possible shutout in the last few seconds.

And that (with SF winning) also ends the Seahawks' chance of sneaking into the playoffs.

[Northern Goblin]

And our hopes live on into the final week so we can fuck it up ourselves in spectacular, last minute, shoot self in the foot style fuck uppery!


Just got home, was there any highlights you guys would recommend from across the games, from the 2nd half of the early KO's onward worth watching? Or did the Bengals front flip touchdown pretty much make anything else irrelevant?
