OT: Other Sports aka the how spry is Peyton Manning thread

[AMDZen]

Wow I didn't even think about that game because I figured Cincy would dominate. Broncos beat Cincy and Bengals find another game to go and lose and all the sudden the broncos might just get that second seed. Which still isn't going to matter. Pats are going to the 19-0 again.

You mean 18-1 again? **** the Patriots

I'm just going to say 19-0 as much as I can so it doesn't happen.

19-0 19-0 19-0 Eli Manning, David Tyree

Okay I think that should get it started.

 

[Bonzai12]

Losing Edelman is a huge blow to the Pats. I think they're actually pretty vulnerable right now.


Thinking about picking up Brock in my fantasy league keeper. I'm really trying to weight options of Jameis, Brock, or Manziel. It's a keeper league and I need a backup QB (I have Carr as my starter). Jameis/Manziel have more talent but if Brock has a good game this could be his stepping stone to the Broncos starting QB of the future. And the Broncos have a ton more talent around Brock than Manziel/Winston will for years.

Any advice?

 

[ASmileyFace]

I'd take Brock over Manziel for sure and maybe over Jameis.

If Brock is any good he's going to be the broncos QB next year baring some crazy Elway-getting-Big-Ben-type-****. And with most of the defense coming back the Broncos are probably good to win the AFC West again so Brock will likely be on a winning team.

Jameis on the other hand is a wild card. Has the talent but the team around him is hot garbage outside of a few guys. They've won some games this year but who knows if that would hold next year.

Hard choice. I'd take Brock, but I've got homer glasses like crazy.

If they lose Edelman they aren't winning anything. He's more important to that team than Gronkowski is because of how versatile he is

 

[Bonzai12]

they just did lose him for 6-8 weeks

 

[dahrougem2]

Brutal for them then. They definitely won't go undefeated with him out of the lineup. Teams are now going to key on Gronk and Amendola isn't good enough nor is he reliable enough to be Brady's main target.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Pats will get the #1 seed, without question. But I do think we are gonna beat them...just have a funny feeling.

I can't seem them winning the SB either...although they may get there. They have playoff let down written all over them. Eventually that patchwork o-line and lack of targets will let them down. Weather that gets Brady hurt is a whole other question.

 

[famicommander]

Nuggeta knocked off the Pelicans in New Orleans, 115-98.

Gallinari scored 32 points and added 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

I hate the Patriots as much as the next guy, but they're by far the best bet right now to win it all. I would give the Broncos something like a one in four chance to upset NE. The D would have to hold them to ~20 points, which no other team has actually done, while Osweiller and/or Manning would have to throw 300ish yards, which Manning has only done twice this season. I give Cincy and Carolina maybe one in three. Always take the field but I really think we're going to have to live in a cruel universe where the Patriots go the 7th Superbowl in a decade and a half

 

[famicommander]

Nuggets are in San Antonio tonight to play the Spurs. They haven't looked great on the second night of back to backs, so it should be a tough test. Ginobili is out but it'll still be a hard game to win.

 

[famicommander]

Nuggets lost to the Spurs. Didn't get enough from Mudiay or Gallinari tonight.

But on the bright side, Gary Harris followed up his career-high 16 points last night with another 15 tonight, along with 2 steals, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.

And Nikola Jokic had by far the best game of his career. He had 23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. His previous career highs were 10 points (twice), 9 rebounds (once), and 1 block (once). So he set career highs in three categories and also turned in his first career double-double.

He should start over Hickson until Nurkic returns. With Nurkic, Jokic, Lauvergne, and Faried the Nuggets have a very talented group of young big men. Hickson and Arthur should be playing less and taking on more of a mentorship role when Lauvergne and Nurkic are healthy.

Demaryius wearing the Avs snap-up jacket after practice today. Hard not to like the guy.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

damn, thats fresh. that guy makes everything look fresh though

 

[dahrougem2]

Jacksonville vs Tennessee was just god awful tonight.

The Titans might have the worst offensive line I've ever seen. If I'm Mariota, I'm going to management this summer and telling them revamp the **** out of the line or trade me. He gets destroyed on seemingly a series by series basis and it's going to destroy his career

Is there honestly any doubt as to who the best player in the NBA is? Steph Curry is simply on another level, even above LeBron James. Not by much, but he is. He's the new face of the league

New Lions president Rod Wood: "I would probably say that Im not qualified to run any other NFL team but I think I'm qualified to run this 1"

this will probably end well.

he makes shooting 3s an art. just beautiful.

GS is the team to beat again this season.

God, that Lions quote pretty much embodies the spirit of that franchise to a tee.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see this Warriors team challenge the Bulls' regular season wins record provided they stay healthy

That's just not fair

Wilin Rosario era is finally over. Couldn't be happier.

Surprised they picked Gurka over Kahnle though.

 

[Alex Jones]

Crazy to think that he might be the best shooter ever.

 

[famicommander]

Nuggets looking fired up

Leading 29-17 after one quarter against the Suns tonight, and they ended the quarter on an 18-0 scoring run

 

[dahrougem2]

Yep, so long as he stays healthy he's going to shatter ever shooting record in my opinion and go down as the greatest shooter of all time. It's crazy to think he's so much more than that, too. Arguably the best ball handler in the league today, has phenomenal vision, and is a ball hound.
