Carolina at Denver (02/07/2016)

       After reading DRIBBLE4LIFE's earlier post, I really had to laugh out loud!   Generally he stated that the Broncos were somehow preordained to win (or at least cover) because the league had somehow manipulated it so 1) they won't lose again by the likes of a 43-8 game score, and 2) that Peyton Manning, has some manifest destiny that he will ride "off into the sunset" with his 2nd SB ring and forfill and preserve the Manning family legacy. Someday, Peyton will take his rightful place, along the other great players, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, it just won't be this Sunday! As much as I have loved the great performances over the years, sadly he is no longer in his prime. At one time his play could inspire and carry his team(s) to championships. As a result of long and protracted injuries, his teammates have had to "carry his jock", this season. Anybody whom cares to look up his poor stats this season, can attest to that fact. Perhaps , John Elway wanted to relive his glorious career ,on the arm of Manning. Unfortunately, the lemon has been squeezed dry!  Certainly, that's why Indianapolis allowed Peyton to shop his diminished skills elsewhere. John Elway has a very short memory: the Elway led Broncos lost many SB's ,before finally winning his last 2 games! Hell, Minnesota and Buffalo, lost "millions" of SB's.  Nothing is predestined!   Peyton will NOT finish in a "blaze of glory", in his supposed last game, due to old age and physical infirmaties of past injuries. If the great Hall of Famer, Johnny Unitas could perform at his high level at the end of his career, then certainly Peyton Manning is no exception!

Dog- After reading your post, it appears you were somewhat surprised that Holtnt picked Denver. Holtnt and I have been close friends for a number of seasons, and as a result, I've gotten to know how he thinks, and certainly respect his capping ability and achievements. I hope this clarifies my previous post.  Gl  friend, and enjoy the off season.
