Saw this earlier and thought it was beyond hilarious and pretty spot-on. Was posted on another forum after the Broncos lost to Seattle earlier this season and more-or-less sums up Manning and his demeanor/personality as a player.

I'm still crackin' up.

I want to throw Manning and Horse Face under that same bus.

I figured out what I hate most about Manning, and it is the fact that he's an abusive dad to his own team. When everything is going well he's all buddy buddy with the other players and country line dancing to Rocky Top... but when something goes wrong, he gets his angry dad face and pouts on the sideline by himself with that God damn red mark on his big fetus forehead. The rest of the Broncos just curl up in a ball and piss on themselves like a bunch of Golden Retrievers who know that "daddy" is going to kick them in the face at practice on Monday for messing up. I say we give him whatever punishment Adrian Peterson gets.

That's why I knew they'd lose the super bowl the instant that first snap went over his head.

How I saw Week 11 in the NFL:
--Peyton Manning is my favorite athlete of all time and I have seen probably 90% of his games the past 12 seasons, so I qualify as an expert. After watching the 10-point favorite Denver Broncos flop, 22-7, at St. Louis, it seems to me that Manning's window to win another Super Bowl is closing faster than anyone thought. This team is in serious trouble.




Fifteen days ago, the Broncos were 7-1 and poised to put a hammerlock on AFC home field advantage. Now, with two double-digit losses in three games, the 7-3 Broncos are tied for their division lead and facing a remaining schedule that threatens to make them a wild card team. And a Broncos wild card team isn't going to the Super Bowl.


The deciding factor through 11 weeks in the NFL season has been the value of home field to playoff contenders. In the AFC, the top eight teams are 32-8 at home), while in the NFC, the top seven teams are 29-7. I am not sure there has ever been a recent season when teams are so different home and away.


Denver is 5-0 at home with an average margin of victory of 15 points. They are 2-3 on the road, with their wins against the Jets (2-8) and the Raiders (0-10). Even if they win their remaining home games (Miami, Buffalo and Oakland), the Broncos would likely have to win at least two of their three road games to get a first-round bye. And their road schedule is brutal: at Kansas City, San Diego and Cincinnati, a combined 12-3-1 at home. Two of those games are in cold weather spots, both at night. If Denver loses to the Chiefs in two weeks (both are 7-3), the best the Broncos could hope for is a wild card slot, and that means three straight road games to make the Super Bowl. Not happening.




The loss to the Rams was the worst in the regular season in the Manning era in Denver, not by point margin but by how pathetic the Broncos looked. They had a lopsided 54 passes attempted to only nine rushes, which made them predictable. Manning threw two interceptions for the third straight game, there were at least six passes dropped, while receivers Emmanuel Sanders, Julius Thomas, Andre Caldwell and running back Montee Ball all were injured. The offensive line was overrun and the vaunted pass rush of Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware barely laid a hand on backup Rams QB Shaun Hill.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post put the game into perspective:

Being lumped into the same sentence with Tim Tebow does not bode well for Manning.


With the offensive line struggling, Manning looks all of his 38 years, being harried and flustered for much of the game. Good luck with that against the Dolphins and Chiefs the next two weeks, both teams that can rush the passer. This was the most talented team Manning has ever had and what looked like smooth sailing a couple of weeks ago now looks like the S.S. Minnow.


--As much as I dislike the Patriots, I am getting a sinking feeling this team is Super Bowl bound. After beating the Colts, 42-20, at Indianapolis, the Patriots (8-2) are in firm control of AFC home field after having beaten the Broncos, Bengals and Indy, all of who lead their divisions; they would only lose a tiebreaker to the Chiefs. After being embarrassed in K.C. in Week 4, the Patriots have won six in a row by 26, 15, 28, 22 and 22 points, with the only close game being a two-point win over the Jets (go figure!). The Patriots are playing well in all phases and the only remaining game where they will be an underdog will be two weeks at Green Bay. I understand there are six games left and injuries can change a lot, but the Patriots have clearly established themselves as a dominant team.


--The Broncos' chance to be the first Super Bowl loser in 21 years to make it back to the big game the next year is fading and so is Seattle's chance to be the first team to repeat as champions since the 2003-2004 Patriots. At 6-4, the Seahawks are three games behind Arizona in the NFC West and have a brutal schedule left, with two games each against the Cardinals and 49ers. Like the Broncos, the Seahawks are not a good road team and last year's darling Russell Wilson is playing average at quarterback. The 2013 Seahawks had remarkably good luck with injuries, but this year injuries are killing them. Losing defensive line stud Brandon Mebane means this team will have trouble stopping the run and it showed against the Chiefs, who averaged 6.3 yards a carry.

You know, I decided to go and look (because who gives a rat's ass who the Pro Bowl MVP is) and expected Manning to have won it like 9 times or something.

He's only won it once (2004).

Does that mean he chokes in the Pro Bowl too? :coffee:

This may be scary to you all (it is to me, lol) but I agree with Cris Carter about 90% of the time. He said that Peyton's teams will always be soft because of the way he runs the offense. He's right. Schlereth has mentioned similar concerns (running everything from the LOS).

He's nevr had a Head Coach or OC willing to stand up to him. That was always the problem.

He's had a sense of entitlement from the word go. Archie Manning's son, hot shot college player with the Vols and then goes No.1 in the draft. Nobody tells Manning what to do! It's sick the way John Fox bows down to him and brown noses him.

Imagine Manning with Bill?! There'd be none of the BS here. As much as BB and Tom have a superb relationship, Tom knows his place. I remember a couple of years back the Pats got rid of a player, can't remember who and BB was asked in a presser if the front office had talked to Tom about this and what did he think?

The answer was classic Belichick. "Tom's a player" he simply said with a lovely sneer. i.e. it's none of Tom's f***ing business what I do with players.

Imagine someone like Dungy, Fox, Caldwell saying that?! Manning would throw a strop like he did on Jeff Saturday that time.
 
I think that's why Jimmy Johnson said on tv a few weeks ago that if BB had PM, he'd trade him for TB. TB=superstar true team player. Simply can't think of another QB who is like that.
