He will kill Romeo and his Chiefs. If he comes out in the 4th he will be barking at the backup lineman in the 4th when the score is 27-7 for missing assignments. This man is on a mission and the only people that continue to deny it are the disgruntled fans of teams that were shunned or the losers who have not watched the season materialize!

I checked and Peyton’s career record against Romeo is 4-6.

@mataug

You’re right. He usually wins the games, but Romeo is the only person who consistently comes close to stopping Manning. The Broncos scored a season-low 17 points in the first meeting.

I don’t think this one will be that close.

If this were the patriots the headlines would be about running up the score on the helpless chiefs , however since its St. Peyton Manning the headlines will read about how heroic he is playing the whole game.

How was this ever a question since they are still playing for the 2nd seed?

Manning is pulling the same stunt as he did with the Colts. As with Bret Favre, he refuses to let the backups play or get any practice time. No wonder the Colts were so awful last year. The backup QBs for Denver will also be woefully be unprepared thanks to Peyton’s attitude.

How is this any different from the Colts years?

As long as playoff seeding of the Colts could be affected, Manning always played pretty much the entire game. It was only a quick appearance when the Colts were locked into a certain seed and couldn’t go higher or lower.

Yes keeping the players active, keeps them sharp.

Given the recent trend of teams that rest their starters versus teams that are forced to keep playing throughout the end of the season, I’d voluntarily play my starters as well.

The Broncos are virtually guaranteed a bye, and I strongly believe giving a team 2 “bye” weeks in a row by benching them in week 17 does more harm than good.

Every year nowadays, a high seed that rested starters is upset by a lower seed that had to fight all the way to the post-season.

I like the move, if we’re gonna get a bye, you do not want to rest the starters for two weeks. The broncos is on a hot streak now and I hope it continues in the playoffs. In a way, I prefer them not to have a bye because the momentum for the team they play would be equal with them winning the wildcard game. At the same time, it could get those whose battling minor injuries to get ready for the divisional round.

He’s playing Romeo Crennel, cannot back it up with numbers but as far as I can remember Manning doesn’t usually dominate Romeo’s defenses
