You weren't surprised Peyton didn't get sacked a single time?
That's horseshit. Everyone was surprised by that thorough spanking- even KnowMo.
My main point is I wasn't surprised that Denver won as I said earlier I thought the game would be closer. Getting nearly 30 points wasn't surprise because for the most part they have in that range. They've only had games where they have scored under 23. I understand Denver has been struggling offense but even a struggling offense can have a good game. [Reply]

I know this ignores the entire premise of your hate, but seriously. Maybe if your team tried 25% as hard as the Broncos to put a good product on the field every year you guys could finally tie Tim Tebow for playoff victories in the last 21 years. :-)
Most teams dont trade draft picks for an 8 game rental....there is a difference. [Reply]

Not too sure about that. They seem to do it so that they don't lose that much. Then when they fill the vacancy they sometimes get better. They've lost Tuberville, Decker, and Thomas in recent years and got Ware, Sandars and now Davis to replace them. Only fall off I see is Thomas was better than Davis will be. We don't know that for sure though...Well maybe we do but Davis is a very low risk high reward deal...Also, they NEVER got in "Cap Hell" when paying Manning. They paid him and were able to sign the players above and the likes of Talib and Ward. [Reply]

I wasn't talking about cap space...I was talking about trading away future starters (high draft picks) for a 31 year old LT. [Reply]
