Carolina Panthers are 17-2

[Pastor Dave]

It sounds like you are more up on the NFL rules and my man Peyton than I am.

I think Peyton Manning is one of the best NFL players ever
Less of a fan of his brother Eli
I think there dad Archie is a turd

 

[Pastor Dave]

I know very little of Archie's character. They seem like a strong knit family.
I have always thought Peyton was better than Eli, but Eli did get 2 rings first. Just saying.
I am glad Peyton got his second, and I hope he rides out on top to go do endorsements and commercials and eventually becomes the BEST sport analyst this country has ever seen!

 

[samssimonsays]

I am with you OFA. But I have to say, the move Eli made reaction wise has lessened my opinion of Eli further. SIgh.

I am more of a College football person but I do follow somewhat certain players.

 

[OneFineAcre]

I'm probably being a little harsh. It goes back to when Eli was in the draft. San Diego had the number one pick and Archie was being very vocal that if they took Eli he would hold out and not sign with them.
San Diego drafted Eli, the Giants drafted Phillip Rivers and they made a trade.
I just thought he/they were arrogant jerks at the time.

I didn't think too highly of Eli when he did that either, but then as a result, he has two rings and Rivers has how many? There was a reason he didn't want to go there. When a team self destructs and continues to mire itself in a perpetual cellar over many years, (as San Diego had back then) were I a talented player, I wouldn't want to go there either.

I understand the principal of trying to "even the playing field" to make all teams more competitive, more "equal". And the NFL has done a pretty good job at it. However, there are a few teams that are annually way above the median and a few that are way below... some way, way below. Right now, I wouldn't want to go to the Browns or several other mismanaged, nonperforming, incompetent teams either.

You guys might not know it but Broncos fans pretty much know that Peyton is done. Panthers we can meet again next year and likely we will lose.

 

[Pastor Dave]

The Broncos have a top notch Defense, and that didn't rely on Peyton. Just hold on to your faith in your team.
A Defense that performs as well as they have will motivate the Offense.
The Colts could borrow your Defense, and IF we get Luck back...
Here's to next Fall

 

[Poka_Doodle]

Nice.
And we will meet again in the fall...

Offense and qb wins games and sells tickets---defenses win championships.
Carolina is a good example of the first and Broncos a prime example of the 2nd.
