1. I bet at this point in the season the Giants & Packers weren't favored to win the Super Bowl the past 2 years.

2. I fully expect Manning to have a typical choke job come playoff time.

Further, Baltimore was the first team with a winning record that Dungver has played in 10 weeks - and that defense is in shambles. Broken down Suggs, no Ray Lewis, Dannell Ellerbe, Bernard Pollard, Jameel McClain.

They finish the season against Cleveland & KC.

In fact - all season Dungver will have only played 4 teams (including these beat-down Ravens on a 3 game slide) with a winning record.

Their record in those games? 1-3.

Frauds.

This and I'm calling Denver as well

ROFL

That's awesome.

after reading the fixed for profit thread, I couldn't help but laugh at all the BS calls around the league.

alas...the holding and PI calls keep ****ing up games.

All true, but they won. Denver's not 100% either, but it's totally your right to ignore it. OL, RB, DEF - they're all missing key starters, but they're doing enough to win.

Denver played the bulk of their tough games in the first 5... they finished 2-3, so be it. I think it's silly to compare this team now to what they were in week 5 - especially on DEF and ST and say it's the same team. Feel free to do it, though.

Denver is in line for the #2 seed... they didn't set up that schedule, it's not their fault that KC, SD, OAK and others suck. They defeated a testy Tampa team a few weeks ago before they started to fall apart. Most here still expected Baltimore to beat 'em.

It is what it is and the proof is in the finish, so we'll see what happens in the playoffs. Send NE to Denver and I really like that one in round 2.

There will be no Manning Bowl.

So they are basically the 2010 Chiefs. Nice.

The term "one and done" refers to a team that loses its first playoff game and is then out of the playoffs after one game. Being a Chiefs fan, I'm sure you're familiar with the situation.

That term does not apply to the 2011 Broncos, as they won a playoff game and played in two playoff games. You could say they were two and done, but that would be stupid.

I wasn't referring to last year's team as a 1-and-done team.

They would have been without Tebow.

Aha, I see.

Hardly. They have a HOF QB. Have one of those and once you're in ANYTHNG can happen.

The Patriots have also only played 4 teams with winning records. They are 2-2 in those games.

Cause we're the best around...only 2 to 3 teams can take us down.

Nice.
