Denver V. Baltimore

Best part of the night. Im playing against someone in fantasy with P.Manning. He scored 67 pts. The guy benched him.

I am very happy.

Why would you ever bench Manning in fantasy??

Cause the guy drafted horribly and picked up Tom Brady as well. He must have assumed that Brady @buf was a better shot then Petyon.

You make Flacco throw 60+ times a game, that's what you get, rice had 12 touches in the first half? Baltimore your secondary is wretched bad, gonna be a long season.

Manning has to be regarded as one of the best "REGULAR" season QB's of all time...Lets see how he does when its minus 20 in December. Great QB but pretty much an average or below average QB come playoff time. If Chicago had any other QB that Rex Grossman, Manning would still be without a ring....Hoping for another choke this year too!

That might not be the absolute worst strategy ive ever heard of. He can probably trade Manning off to a tea, for basically their whole rb and wr corps now

What a game! Peyton was like a brain surgeon...

Someone tried this a few years ago in my league, albeit with Manning and Brees. He didn't do too well that year because the rest of us screwed him by not trading for one of his QBs.

8 man league. He's not trading squat.

Did you watch the game? Not really. They failed on MOST of their drives that started on their side of the field. The Ravens gave them short fields (under 40 yards to go) SEVERAL times on mistakes and interceptions.

In the first half of the game, the Broncos had five possessions. They got points on two of them. They had a total of 16 possessions on the night, (NFL average is 11.5 possessions per game) and scored on 7 of them.

The Ravens beat themselves more than the Broncos beat them. Anyone taking this as a sign of the Broncos being the best team in football is delusional. The Ravens just fell apart after injuring their only notable receiver, and not challenging that Welker non-catch that bounced in the turf.

Haha wow. I admire the strength of your homer optimism, but looking at that game by the Broncos as anything other than damn impressive is silly. Their passing offense looks absolutely incredible.

Flacco. Sub-mediocre, amiright?

I think this was confirmed last night :th2thumbs:

 

[jblaze]

Damn the Raven's defense looked terrible last night. Their secondary is all over the place. The Bronco's are good but come on.

Oh and in my fantasy football league, I played against Manning last night, yay... 63 points... WTF

I don't think I ever stated that the Broncos are the best team in football.

I do think, however, that even with crappy defense with no pass rush, even with non-existent run game, Peyton's Broncos completely dominated the Ravens defense. 7 TDs in one game is not an easy achievement, no matter how you view it.

and yes, I agree that Ravens beat themselves in more ways than one.

I had D. Thomas playing last night. He had a great game. Then I checked my opponent. Yep. P.Manning. ukeface:
