Peyton is the kid who cried after every loss in Pop Warner through 9th grade, and we'd tease that his dad beat him for poor performance on the field. The latter usually brought on surprise tears. I hated those kids.

I still am not certain it wasn't intentional, personally. I hope it hurts their defense, though; he was good. Not elite like Von Miller, but still; good.

But I can't bring myself to say "Go Chargers!" because I utterly hate Philip Rivers. I think the team in the AFCW I hate the least is probably KC these days. Plus, if Alex Smith does well, it makes it look less like the 49ers fleeced the Chiefs in that trade, which I can get behind.

Memories, we all have our own.
If we want to talk facts, Montana (9'ers) faced Manning (aints) 6 times. This came at the end of Mannings career and the beginning of Montana's.
1979 - Saints (8-8) beat 49'ers (2-14) in both games; 30-21, 31-20. Manning's 9th year, Montana's 1st year.
1980 - 49'ers (6-10) beat Saints (1-15) in both games; 26-23, 38-35.
1981 - 49'ers (13-3) beat Saints (4-12) in both games; 21-14, 21-17. 49'ers win SB that year.
Manning went on to play parts of 2 seasons with Oilers & Vikings.
No doubt Montana had a better career. Manning played on a crap team, Montana was part of a great team and organization.
Sometimes great players become great because of the circumstances they get put in. Reverse the two, Montana with the Saints of the '70's, and Manning with the 49'ers of the '80's, and we probably have different views on both of them.
BTW, didn't see any 30 point blowouts. :roll: :les:
RolandDeschain":2ngp8nw1 said:I'm sure it'll affect Miller, but Miller has graded very highly in every aspect of the game, including stuff outside of pass rushing. He'll be fine. Their pressure will suffer, and accordingly, so will their secondary; especially since nobody's going to be afraid to throw at Champ Bailey now that Flacco exposed him in the playoffs last year. He can't ride on his name/glory years reputation anymore.
Denver's in trouble. Go Chargers!
