We just played a first place schedule.

Actually, I'm expecting to hear about how we play no one good again next season. Obviously there's the AFCW, then we also play Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Philadelphia. That's 9 games against teams that were horrible this season.

Enjoy going 8-8. Both the Chargers and Chiefs will be improved with new competent regimes. Manning's body is going break down next year. I expect him to miss at least three games next year due to being old and injured. You guys had your one shot and you blew it.

I think Denver will win another 13 games next year and will enjoy another 1 and done coming off of a first round bye. Maybe history will repeat itself, and Peyton will get hurt in the AFCCG and they'll get blown out that way. I just see the 21st century Marty and Montana playing out in Denver.

We will see. I have a hard time putting Saturday's loss on Peyton, so I don't see his presence as a negative factor toward Denver winning a playoff game next year.

Really? Sure, Baltimore should've never tied it. Who threw the cross body pick with the game on the line? "Cut that meat! Cut that meat! Cut that meat!"

Yes, Peyton's one awful play was, in my opinion, less important than the secondary letting receivers get behind EVERYONE three times.

It's not like we were playing against Cassel, Flacco's sole positive is his ridiculous arm strength.

You're right. Rahim Moore sucks. Really bad. I'm sure he'll be replaced this offseason.

So, coincidence his one awful play came during OT, with the game on the line?

His arm strength is likely to get worse, not better. He's already having problems gripping the ball in the cold, and that's more likely to get worse than better, as well. The Ravens were able to expose things about his game that aren't likely to improve. The Chiefs should be much better next season. The Broncos are going to have to face the Patriots and Texans again, and both games will be on the road. The Mannings are also facing off, and that game's in New York.

It's possible that Manning has another top end season or two of winning 12+ games left, and maybe even a playoff run of more than one game is possible, but the odds are against it at this point.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. The Donks will be entering next season with a 37 year-old QB with injury concerns and the white Herm Edwards as HC.

Hey, I hope you're right!

So last off-season, it was "his neck will fall apart as soon as he gets hit," and now it's "he's too old." Your disappointment will be fun to watch. Again.

We shall see. I can already taste next year's tears.
