Calling him a game manager probably isn't fair, but fact is they don't ask him to do a ton because of their strong running game and D. It's obviously a smart way to go given the results.

I think that the biggest reason for the Broncos performance last night is that they just dont see those kinds of teams in the AFC. The top AFC teams have traditional pocket passers on O and IMO they didnt see a D as tough and fast as Seat all season. It really showed last night.

If you look at a lot of defensive statistics, the majority of the top 10 teams were NFC teams. I think the NFC field stronger defenses than the AFC this season.

I think it's time for people to give Wilson the respect he deserves. Yeah, he plays on a great team, but he's a BIG reason why they're a great team. Who are his wr's? Who's his TE? He's not playing with Calvin Johnson or Jimmy Graham. He makes plays, extends them, runs when he has to and just gets the damn job done, all while staying very humble. Very hard not to like Russell Wilson.

Being in my 50's and playing football in High School and College on top of watching the game on TV since I was 5, plus reading numerous books about football players when I was a kid, I am pretty attuned to how the rules have effected the game. As far as "modern training methods" that era started 40 years ago. Take a picture of a 1975 weight room and then one from 2014, you will see a lot of the exact same equipment. Some of them might have computerized resistance but that just makes them safer, they are the same movements as the machines that had cables, chains and weight stacks. Free weights are the same. Joe Weider's promotion of body building made nutritional supplements and steroids common place in the 70's.

You really have to go all the way back into the early 60's to find guys just eating meat and potatoes and not lifting weights. The first weightlifting program with illegal drugs were introduced in 1963 by Chargers coach Sid Gillman.

Training methods are still pretty much the same, the only improvement is probably the illegal drugs are better. That is a wash as an equal amount of players on both sides of the ball are using them, it is the rules being the sole reason why we don't see anymore 13-10 games.

Captain Kangaroo was old and full of energy too and i didnt like him either.
Seriously Its nothing personal, obviously i dont know the guy - but something about him has always just rubbed me the wrong way.

Great job by NFL security. Hopped on a bus and made it all the way to tv.

I do not believe that the game was fixed. But with all of their unforced errors the Broncos sure made it look that way. Pretty pathetic.
