If they go to Peyton then Brock is done. I don't see Elway resigning him after his last 2 performances.

Brock has played well more often than not, but Deion ... yeah, Brock isn't going to garner a $20M annual salary off the last 4 games. And, I believe that is what Deion was saying. [Reply]

Maybe not 20 but I could see them having to pay at least 14 million. [Reply]

Who do you want to play more: Pitt or Houston?
If Denver wins the division they likely get Pittsburgh the 1st round. If KC wins the division we likely host the Broncos or the Jets if they win out. [Reply]

If Denver wins the division, they will likely have a first round bye. [Reply]
What happens if Denver loses next week? Do they go back to Manning? If they're only up a game on us for the division. And only a game ahead of Pittsburgh and the Jets for the wildcard.
While they've turned the ball over less they have been struggling to score points. They should've lost to the Bears and caught a break against NE.
I've only watched a few of Denver's games this year outside of the KC games. And while Manning struggled a lot he was still dangerous when he got to run the hurry up offense. [Reply]

I think Kubiak is considering starting Manning this week [Reply]
Who knows... This is the first time in 4 weeks that Brock wasn't named the starter in the Monday morning press conference. Back before all this happened, I was hoping they would give Manning 3-4 games on the bench to heal and 'see what happens'.
They went 3-1 during that time, so not terrible.
Brock has shows some good signs and the team played better at times, but yesterday - the wheels flew off and opened the door for doubt with many.
I'm fine with whatever they decide to do and they have a big road game vs PIT, I'm fine with them keeping the Steelers guessing until later in the week.
CIN may not have Dalton for the next 2-3 weeks, so that bodes very well for that game in Denver two weeks from now.
Yesterday was a total disaster of a performance... things look ugly, but the lows are never as low as they seem, just as the highs are never as high.
Denver should hold on to the division and if they beat CIN, going 2-1 in the final 3, they'll have the #2 seed and a bye. [Reply]
