This goes out to Jooka!

It's for you

maybe only interesting for pats/broncos fans, but the patriots beat the broncos in week 5 of this year - before Peyton really hit his stride. So logically it's hard to predict the result of a possible playoff rematch.

I took a look at Peyton's performance in that game though:

- also went 31/44 on passes

Pretty sure Peyton performed per usual that day, and I again feel confident about the Pats spanking everyone on the way to ring #4

The Bronco's D looked like clowns that game. But there is something big that happened over the course of the season that was missing. Thomas and Decker have developed into the most potent WR tandem in the NFL. Watch the fuck out. It's like having two Megatrons working with Peypey. Then factor in Stokley and Tamme who played with him in Indy and Dressen contributing as a second TE.

Denver O is going to put up solid numbers. My biggest concern and the reason I think the Pats are going to win, is that the defense was humiliated by the pats for most of that game and the defensive coordinator has a history of losing to you in the playoffs.

Pats were also up 31-7 in the 3rd quarter, Peyton got the benefit of some garbage time yards and TD's. Not saying it won't be different playing in Denver though.

LOL ^^

Ray Lewis close to locking up a multi-year deal with ESPN apparently.

Looks like Andy Reid will be the new HC for the Chiefs. His people were said to be canceling his talks with SD and Arizona.

I know there were obvious problems with Reid going to SD but I was hoping he would land there. He could fix that team very easily imo. I think what SD was doing fits his style of offensive coaching with the deep ball passing too. Rivers and Reid are both in need of what the other is, good coach and qb.

WTF is Reid going to do with the Chiefs? Ok so he's already got JC and Hillis but somehow he's got to find a QB. I highly doubt Reid tries to get Vick when he becomes available in the offseason.

More than likely since they have the first round of the draft they will get a QB. That really is the missing piece of the puzzle for the Chiefs to do better. Throw in a good safety/CB and a receiver and I think they will do tons better next year.

Yeah this QB class is pretty shitty at first glance. None of the prospects are really highly rated "can't miss" types. Chiefs do have Charles who is legit, and Bowe isn't hot garbage at least so it's not completely hopeless if they can get a QB and some defensive guys in there.

Reid to Chiefs just strikes me as "Who offered Reid the most GM powers". I imagine Pioli is gone within weeks (which also calms the fanbase).

As to how it works, I dunno. Kolb or Vick (or both - imagine the lulz!) get cut and Reid brings them in for cheap, while drafting a QB project in 2nd to 3rd round?

I'd rather have Barkley than Landry/Klein. But that's not saying much because I'd put Barkley in the 2nd or 3rd round.
