[quote=donofriose;1022647]Manning is one of the greatest to ever play. Sucks that his career is probably ending within the next couple of years.

I thought the list of QBs that threw 7td's a game was interesting because there wasn't anyone that automatically stood out. I actually had to look up a couple of them because I had never heard their names.

Broncos offense this year might be one of the best offenses ever if their Oline can keep it together and provide a run game.[/quote]

Peyton has TWO games with 6 TD passes too. G.O.A.T.

Only one I've never heard of was Kapp. TWO of those 7 TD games were against the Skins. :doh:

[quote=donofriose;1022611]Right when Oher got knocked out that entire OLine pretty much fell apart. Their secondary, much like the Skins secondary needs time to gel. Without a pass rush both secondaries will look awful.[/quote]

I still think the Ravens are a good team with a good defense. They were just second guessing themselves. They thought they knew peytons plays from Stokely, Dallas Clark, and Jim Caldwell, but Peyton, being the great QB he is, changed the signals or made adjustments to the routes.

The Ravens defense was doing ok until like you said the offense started getting hurt (losing Jacoby Jones didn't help because he was getting open) with Michael Oher hurting his leg and a rookie going out there against a good denver defense. Then they started having too many 3 and outs and all the momentum went to Denvers offense and the Ravens just got gased and tired. I still think Baltimore is a play off team, but last night was a beat down and wake up call to that team. They're a very well run franchise. They will adjust.

I don't really agree with that article about Manning not giving the coaches enough time. Did he get the snap off fast, yes, but I have seen coaches throw challenge flags when the offense was moving a lot faster than that. In fact if Manning fooled them it was probably because he wasn't acting like it was going to be challenged.

This just in..... Peyton woke up this morning, stepped out of bed and threw another TD pass..... He is on pace to throw 112 for the season.

Julius Thomas went undrafted in my Fantasy League for obvious reasons, I was asleep at the wheel on Draft night, as it pertained to TEs, and got Fred Davis in round 10. Two days after the draft I went out and got Julius Thomas and put him on my bench as a backup. Obviously, he was on my bench last night. Come on FRED DAVIS! You better be superhuman Monday night.

I happened to be reading a Joe Kapp article a couple of days ago. It was really about the Vikings and how they were poised to be the next great team (it was written in 1969) and a big reason was the defense and QB Joe Kapp.

Anyhow, interesting side note on Kapp. He was drafted by the Redskins....in the 18th round (of course, fewer teams back then). He went to the CFL instead

Adrian Burk doesn't ring a bell

The only one I didn't recognize was Burk. The rest I could even tell you a little about their careers. I thought them all pretty famous in their day.

So I looked up Burk - couple cool tidbits from his life after football: He became an NFL referee/official and (1) worked the game in which Kapp tied his record; and (2) was the back judge on the famous Immaculate Reception and was the official to initially signal it a TD.

Re: Around the NFL-Week 1
 

I Love Tebow's character but he is done as a QB at the NFL level in my mind. If it was 1942, he would be a star, but in this day and age in the NFL, you have to throw for 60% or better completion as a QB to have success, and he can't do that. Call it mechanics, or reading a Defense or whatever you want. Call him Joe Schmoo or Tim Tebow but his career completion percentage according to profootballreference.com is 47.9%. That is waaaay below average and won't keep you on any team.

[quote=Lotus;1022702]I don't love his character. It lacks both humility and common sense.[/quote]

Tim Tebow is a person of very high character, so I'm not sure how you can dislike him as a person. To be able to field all the criticism he gets, even from his teammates, and still remain kind and upbeat, is something that's becoming rare in today's world. I'll admit, he sometimes seems a little self-righteous, but overall, he's a very refreshing change from idiots like Aaron Hernandez, Chad Johnson, or Richard Sherman.

Was it?
It amused me that I was out on the ledge with plenty of game left. But with a cooler head after waking up, not watching the 2nd half, and to my delight, the Ravens lost.

Odd? IDK, I'm weird as shit. It was just a dialogue between upset self pre-end of game vs day after game over self.

I live in Bmore where people are assholes, spout off tribalism to opposing fans who like my family had been season ticket holders from the '50's- Feb '12 (before trading the rights to RG3 for those historians), and their team wins championships. So it may bring out "odd" shit when the ravens lose b/c it means more to me than anyone outside of Bmore can fully understand.

And I think after watching that game, I've become more aware that despite an absentee Defense, Manning and the broncos can win a game that I had pegged them to lose.
