Broncos - 31

Manning doesn't have the best day, but I think we see a touchdown scored by the Broncos we don't expect.  Maybe a Holliday punt return or a pick 6.

Lynch might carve Denver up for a few series and keep the ball out of Peyton's hands but I don't see Wilson pulling an Eli-like MVP performance with those receivers. Hope I'm wrong and this marathon will be fit to watch.

Just curious.  Why was Peyton wearing gloves and a scuba suit?  The game temp was in the upper 40s. 

He never performs well when he's wearing gloves on his hands like that.  Yesterday was no exception. 

I know he's "old" or whatever, but I'm older than him and I played golf in 30-degree weather last week.  Wore those detatchable sleeve things (which are awesome) and a pair of khakis instead of shorts, but I didn't wrap up like the arctic ice sheath was encroaching my backyard.  Not that it could, there are a lot of cows across the way and they keep farting, but I digress. 

If I can spend four hours on a golf course in near freezing weather, why can't Sunny Pey at least take the glove off his throwing hand?

Got to give Bruno credit.  He has the ability to span several different genres.  He's got the old Earth Wind and Fire vibe moreso than Morris Day and the Time.

Morris was a one trick pony propped up by Prince.  Liked Ice Cream Castles, but that was about the extent of his catalog. 

EWF had a broader repertoire.  They could funk it out, they could shift over to a rock blend, they could drop back for some soul, they could edge off into jazz, they could dial up a pop vibe and they could fire up a cooter melting ballad.  EWF could even pull off a gospel sound from time to time. 

Bruno Mars is more like that.  Treasure is very EWF sounding to me.  But his other stuff isn't like that.  Some of his stuff I don't like.  And that's not the norm.  Usually if I like a band's sound, it's pretty consistent.  His is all over the map. 

EWF did it with the ensemble approach, but you know that band was powered by Phillip Bailey's voice (and Maurice's arrangement) for a good while. 

I'd like Bruno's act just as well if it were more ensemble and he wasn't as much out front.

Never really listened to him before so I can't judge all his stuff, but what I liked about him last night was that he was entertaining.  He sang, he danced, he played an instrument and he did it all really well while looking like he was having a lot of fun on stage.  So I liked it.  Might look for some of his songs on iTunes.

That is exactly what I said to my wife. He looks like he is having fun. And his music was fun. Throw in a little RHCP and it was a fun half-time.

National narrative today:

Peyton is a big game choker. How can you possibly rate him among the "greatest of all time" when he's not even close to the greatest of this generation (Brady according to what I heard all day). 

I don't know if I buy that completely.  Brady is a little AJ-ey to me.  He's in a good system that doesn't require him to win games.  Don't misunderstand, Brady's got eleventy billion times more talent than Douche McToot, but I sort of see the winning as being a product of the original Saban (Dour Bill from Frozenville).

Also have always found it funny that "Saban" isn't even an original creation.  He's mirroring Bill all the way down to the stupid comments, the facial expressions and pissy attitude.  He's not even himself, it's all a SNL skit.

And I'm not trying to defend manning at any cost but he was getting harassed like a white guy in Harlem. And we know he can't run from pressure. That said, he was not good regardless. Neither was his OL, the WRs, special teams or the D. It was awful. Just a total team failure for Denver.

I don't necessarily agree with any of it.  Peyton's always underwhelmed me, but a "best ever" list is subjective.  Your criteria might be different than mine. 

Sort of like somebody thinking Stanley Kubrick is a genius when he's pretty clearly a demented hack who had brief moments of lucidity.

Young is borderline at best.  Don't think he's really one of the all time greats.

Favre is in there only for longevity. 

If I'm making this Top Five list really, it's going to include:

Roger Staubach -- Hated him and hated the Cowboys, but couldn't deny him.
Joe Montana - Hated Notre Dame and hated him for a long time, too, but he also can't be ignored.
Unitas

John Elway

Here's why I think Peyton is the GOAT:

He's the Godfather of the NFL.  He embodies what the NFL has wanted to be since its conception.  He is the prototype "NFL" quarterback that every coach and owner and fan has coveted since the invention of the forward pass.

When it comes to all things football, he brings a level of intensity, passion, and expertise that is unmatched.  It's not just winning the ball games (which he's won a fuckton of).  It's not just his stats (he leads in most categories). 

It's the other parts.  Who in the history of the NFL is better known for the following:

Film study
In game adjustments
Reading defenses
Audibles
Spreading the ball around
Team leadership
Off the field character
Dealing with the media
MVP Awards

Manning brings to the table a host of attributes that you rarely see with any NFL player, and that goes along with statistics and on the field play that is barely rivaled by any player in the history of the league.

I think it's very telling that if Peyton would have won yesterday, he would have been a damn-near unanimous GOAT quarterback and overall GOAT player.  It would have been barely debated.  Only Brady-dick suckers and Kaos's "eye test" would have disputed the claim. 

I hope he comes back next year and wins one before riding into the HOF.

In  ANY "best ever" argument I think rings count.  I think Peyton got some of his "big game chokeer" rep undeserved due to total team around him.  Name any of the guys mentioned in thus thread and not one of them cartied a roster of no names to a SBC.  But  the Broncos looked lost the ither night and Peyton looked as bewhildered as any average Joe scrub.  Hard to put a guy in the best ever mix afer a SB performance like that.
