Von Miller doesnt seem to be finishing plays tonight. Like....loafing big time

Manning has no arm left. It's all touch and no strength. He seems to be fading as the year rolls on.

I was just about to post this. He looks like Matt Flynn.....or Flynn looks like Manning

[woodbuck27]

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.

[woodbuck27]

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.

He does, good drive, including a 40 yarder to get Denver a TD.

[woodbuck27]

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.

[woodbuck27]

He does, good drive, including a 40 yarder to get Denver a TD.

With a second and goal inside the Cincy 10 yard line Manning is looking good right now.

OK The Manning to Sanders connection again.

BRONCOS 28 - Bengals 27

[Guiness]

Check out Manning's arm and energy Guiness.

Is he looking OK to you?

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.

He just threw one left to D. Thomas that had excellent velocity.

Then he forced another shot left to D. Thomas and underthrew it and was picked.

That was simply a bad decision or a throw he shouldn't have made. He had lots on the ball.

[woodbuck27]

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?

[woodbuck27]

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.

OK Denver gets a break there....and may get the ball back deep in their end. No the punt went in the Denver end zone so P. Manning and Company start at the Bronco 20 yard line.

Can he get it done?

[woodbuck27]

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.

[woodbuck27]

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 !

[Guiness]

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.
