NFLN saying that he hasn't lost a step is utter bullshit. Manning will probably improve but last night he looked like a shadow of his former self.

derp, derp, derp.

whatever. You act like the Broncos are media darlings when in fact they get little to no respect by the national media. I'll give you one huge example that backs this up--only 3 Broncos players are in the HoF. That right there shows the huge lack of respect this franchise gets.

As for Manning looking rusty, what do you expect? Seriously, you should be way more worried about your boy Palmer.
