LOLing!!!! The Mannings have historically been obsessed with Brady…. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

I’m supposed to be impressed by that????

Still average less than 4 yards a carry, took him 32 touches to get 2 first down north of 100 yards; how many people saw him miss how many blitz pick ups last night?

Not a fan of Moreno. Good hands out of the backfield but it after that, ain’t much else I like about him. Hope this is his last year in Denver.

Joe, Knowshon rushed for TWICE as many yards ( 119 v. 52) as your supposed all star McFadden.
Looking at the big picture it’s clear which one is a bust.
———–
That appears to be a small picture you’re looking at. Both of these guys have been disappointing for different reasons. McFadden has trouble staying on the field, and Moreno has trouble getting on it. Comparing the two, it’s not clear at all which one is a bust.

Note to the Bronco’s..

You just played the Raiders. In case you didn’t get that… You just played the Raiders.

It’s not like they were 2-14. I say clean house!

Moreno’s yards per carry wasn’t great across the board. The point is that the O-line was able to be effective deep into the fourth quarter which is a good thing.

An all star he isn’t though.

But you know what else would help sell the play action? If hillman or Moreno line up in the right position. There were at least 3 plays last night when Peyton play actioned to no one. Luckily we were playing the raiders

And how would you know what that looks like? You’re a Raiders fan.

That’s 3.7 ypc, which is pretty pitiful. Fortunately for them all they need is a semblance of a running game to give Peyton a little more space to fit passes into.

Oh really? You are going to use us(Raiders) as a gauge for the Bronco running game versus real playoff teams…..that is most laughable as we are complete disgrace on both sides of the ball……

They only thing that matters is keeping Pope Peyton upright. Cut that meat! Cut that meat!!!

Why on earth would you risk him getting hurt when you have already lost McGahee? If he gets hurt on one of those 12 (!) carries, Denver is in big trouble and Fox is a fool.
