Game over 21-6.
Game over 21-6.
GB doesn't have a chance against Seattle the way the Pack is playing presently.
They should forfeit now. Avoid the embarrassment of trying and failing.
Mess of a game. Was there a time early in season when we thought the seahaww wouldn't see the playoffs? Looking like #1 seed for them now.
Woof, Dalton.
That was a bad ass run by Jeremy Hill.
I like the part where he pushed Sanu into the path of the defender.
Manning has no arm left. It's all touch and no strength. He seems to be fading as the year rolls on.
M3 would have called a go right there.

Von Miller doesnt seem to be finishing plays tonight. Like....loafing big time
At the half:
Bengals 20 (with 20 unanswered points) - Broncos 7.
The BRONCOS simply look worn out.
Peyton Manning has something wrong with him. He's struggling with arm strength and decision making (forcing the ball). Manning has little spark in him.
The season gets really long for a QB his age.
It sure looks as if the Broncos are dropping this game. Cincy needs this game and demonstrating that they want it.
The BRONCOS need lift soon.
One of the few areas where the Bengals lead the Broncos is ST's.
Attention the Bengals kick returner Adam Jones and a 80 yard return and wham ......... !
They respond to a BRONCOS quick first half opening strike and in 1:37 score a TD of their own.
The wind goes out of the BRONCOS sails.
The SCORE Cincy 27- Denver 14
12:35 remains in the third Qtr.
Lets see if Peyton Manning can respond.
There we go...now we have a game.
P. Manning gets his 38th TD pass to Sanders.
Cincy 27 - Denver 21.
The third Qtr. has demonstrated explosive plays.
Watching closely here.
He's completed two passes for big gains - but both were back shoulder touch type. After a drop, another completion, this one short range but again not a zinger.
Ok, wait a minute.
1:35 (Shotgun) P.Manning pass short middle to E.Sanders for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
He just fired one in there to Sanders. Not a frozen rope, but there was some heat on it, a good hard thrown from the 11yd line to the back of the end zone.
OK seriously we need to see the Packers make more effort to improve on ST's.
Cincy is Ranked 6th on ST's and Denver 28th.
Returns are really hurting the Denver Broncos. The Bengals are explosive returning kicks/punts.
The Packers are Ranked 21st in ST's. I can't recall when one of our returners showed much.
The Packers tackling on ST's needs to improve as well.
Do we love our punter?
Do we love our ST's coach?
With 6:55 left in regulation time it's Bengals 30 - BRONCOS 28.
The Bengals have the ball @ their own 40 yard line.
Time to use some clock or hammer it down the field?
Ohh Ohh a 15 yard penalty on Denver moves the ball to their 42 and this shouldn't be pretty for Denver.
WOW!
That no hook up with his WR and Pick SIX on Peyton Manning was ugly.
Manning Picked 3X tonight.
There's too much confusion this late in the season for the Broncos offense.
Cincy 37 - Denver 28
Denver has the ball at the Two Minute Warning.
Holy Crap !
Peytom Manning just threw his 4th pick of the game.
That's 17 Picks for P. Manning this season.
Huh ! Huh !! Huh !!! Huh !!!! .... that's all folks !
I'm sure I don't know what happened there, the wheels fell all the way off. On top of other things, I think that's the final nail in his MVP coffin, he was in the conversation even if just by default until now.
He had to go no huddle bc the Cincy defense was giving him a million looks out of the set pieces.
That's all fine, but when the communication breaks down in the hurry up, that offense is dead, too.
Peyton looked like Gumby at times in the second half. I think he has some assorted physical miseries that haven't been publicized. With that huge knee brace and his other troubles, he's real vulnerable when you get heat on him.
The Bengals got a "Christmas of the Magi" experience. Their win over Denver handed NE home advantage thruout the play-offs.
He's still better than 25+ other team's QBs, but I think he's coming down from the top 5 next season. He'll be 39 sometime next season. He's getting old. Next year APRH, he should pass 90,000 career attempts. The human body can only do so much.
What I wonder, where does he stand historically? Best regular season QB? Would be have been as effective in the 70s and 80s when you could do everything short of killing other players? Discuss
Left up in the air after Week 16 and will be decided in Week 17:

Ya, the ket to beating Denver is to blitz Manning and beat the crap out of him, even if you take a penalty or two. his willingness to take hits goes away very fast. Denver has a defense that will keep them in some games, but even if they should sneak back into the SB, they will get pulverized again. Seattle is perfectly happy taking a handful of penalties on defense to get the QB's head on a swivel.
