[Good Golly I'm Olly]

This game has a Dallas chokejob written all over it

[mikeygnfl]

The Broncos are actually in a game this week as appose to a walk in the park.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Luke Joeckel out for the year, just days after Jags trade Munroe.

Poor Jacksonville

You missed the fact that Gabbert got hurt too... he's a top a QB  

Gosh darn it. Was looking forward to the "Blaine Gabbert" show at Wembley. Guess we'll just have to put up with Kaepernick instead now  

[BamBam]

Aldon and Justin are going to have fun in London

[mikeygnfl]

There is surely only one thing left for Jacksonville... Tebow!

[crazy_dave23]

There is surely only one thing left for Jacksonville... Tebow!

Teee-bow... Whoaaaa NO!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Normality is returning in Dallas

[Take it to the house]

What a hilarious playfake by the Broncos, Cowboys all totally bit, Peyton just walks it in 

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Broncos just taking the urine now

Manning rushes in for a TD

[crazy_dave23]

What a hilarious playfake by the Broncos, Cowboys all totally bit, Peyton just walks it in 

I fell for it

[adams_legend]

What a hilarious playfake by the Broncos, Cowboys all totally bit, Peyton just walks it in 

I fell for it

I reckon about 99% of the people watching fell for it.

Is there anything that Manning can't do at the minute

[Take it to the house]

What a hilarious playfake by the Broncos, Cowboys all totally bit, Peyton just walks it in 

I fell for it

Who didn't! Although if you watch it again, Peyton disappears offscreen for a bit till they realise he still had it

[Take it to the house]

And another TD! Peyton making it look easy

[Guest]

Manning is just unplayable so far this year. The guy is a genius

his brother on the other hand not so much

[Take it to the house]

Peyton gets intercepted!!!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah that wasn't a very good throw by Peyton

[Take it to the house]

Yeah that wasn't a very good throw by Peyton

That was Peyton from the start of last year where he couldn't put enough power on his throws. 
Denver D has been bad this game, if they don't let the Broncos win the SB again this year...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

This Denver team has a real look of some Pats teams have recent years, offence is real powerful (obviously Pats offence never this powerful), but the D is really pourous at times.

On another note, how is Ron Rivera still in a job

[Take it to the house]

Moreno playing really hard today

[Breadvan]

Quite good listening to this game on the radio...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Even better watching it on the TV

Brilliant stuff, not one for the purists however

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

However I'm still awaiting the Dallas choke

[BamBam]

Dez frickin Bryant!

Romo has been unbelievable

[Take it to the house]

Its 48-41 with 6mins+ still remaining! 
Not very good pass D from both sides

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Where the heck is the pass rush?! Only 3 sacks all day, and all they seem to have done is pass it!

[Otagolad]

All tied up - terrible defence from both teams

[Take it to the house]

Finally two consecutive good defensive plays!

[Otagolad]

and this one is over folks

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

However I'm still awaiting the Dallas choke

[BamBam]

Oh. Tony Romo does it again

I would probably let Denver score here, Dallas have had their defence on toast all game

[BamBam]

Kneel kneel kick field goal

[Take it to the house]

That was one crazy game!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Indeed Bambam, much like the Pats did in the SB against the Giants, let them score you got more of a chance of scoring again

[GSC]

@CutonDime25: Knowshon sucks RT @RealSkipBayless: Peyton is doing what Peyton always does. But Knowshon is KILLING the Cowboys.

[Take it to the house]

The reason why that playfake was so good:
"@DenverBroncos: Manning said he was the only one that knew he'd keep the ball on his TD run so that everyone else would sell the RB run better."
Brilliant stuff!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Matt Schaub is just horrible

[mikeygnfl]

Alex Smith is 25-4-1 over the past 2 and a bit seasons, secondly only to Peyton Manning.

Schaub? Oh dear. 49ers 7-0.

[mikeygnfl]

The three unbeaten teams week 6 games:-

Denver at home to Jacksonville
Kansas City at home to Oakland
New Orleans away to New England

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Are the Texans the worst "big game" team in recent memory? Or are they just simply overrated?

[Colan (niner)]

I've just seen online that some Seahawks fans think Reggie Wayne was using stickem and are going to send a gif showing it (it's clearly spit) to the league office. Couldn't make it up$

Niners D has played at elite level for 2 weeks now which is nice and secondary has been ace considering we have struggled with pass rush. Unfortunately not many people still getting open and it's a problem, you seen it even with Tom Brady last night, A QB needs help. Not that it was needed last night

[sodhat]

Are the Texans the worst "big game" team in recent memory? Or are they just simply overrated?

Slightly overrated but they do need something more from the QB. Problem is that Schaub is good enough to keep them in the upper half of the draft without progressing in the playoffs.

I woke up and Oakland were still playing San Diego! I watched the 4th quarter before leaving for work. I'm waiting for the point that it is safe to buy a Pryor jersey - to make sure they don't bench him...

[GSC]

Schaub has needed replaced for a while. Maybe Manziel will stay in Texas.

Welcome to Dallas, where the QB who throws for 500 yards and 5 TDs is to blame for losing not the D that surrended 51

[GSC]

Again, Peyton=Best ever

[BamBam]

Schaub has needed replaced for a while. Maybe Manziel will stay in Texas.

Welcome to Dallas, where the QB who throws for 500 yards and 5 TDs is to blame for losing not the D that surrended 51

Says it all really, if it had been Peyton to throw that pick, would anyone have been blaming him?

[GSC]

If its the postseason, yeah.

He still gets blamed for Rahim Moore blowing a 7 point lead in the final minute of the Ravens game

[Take it to the house]

Freeman to the Vikings, don't know how should I be feeling about this. One thing that is for sure, Ponder will no longer be the QB, waste of a 1st round pick(in hindsight!!).
Freeman seems to have a much higher ceiling than any of our other qbs too tbf

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The scheme didn't help him in Tampa, but he certainly hasn't pushed on since he had that real good season a year or two back.

Potential is there though for me, miles better than Ponder but then most are

[sodhat]

How Romo escaped some of the pressure he had on him was ridiculous too. Maybe Dallas fans might appreciate him a bit more when he's gone and they're scrabbling around like the rest of the league trying to get a franchise QB.

[BamBam]

Problem for Minnesota, Houston etc is that they are too good elsewhere to bottom out completely and be in position to select a QB such as Bridgewater or Luck etc..

Bill Simmons (great American sports writer) had a similar theory about NBA teams, in that the worst place for an NBA team to be is between 10th and 20th, as you aren't good enough to compete for a championship, but not bad enough to be able to acquire top talent through the draft.

This is starting to translate to good teams who lack a QB too

[Skyforger]

Well played the Bengals yesterday and shame about Brady losing out on the record. Will have to try and cheer myself up when I visit Gillette Stadium today!
