That will be overturned.

Manning led many a team to Fantasy championships last year, lots of teams banked on him this year. Sorry guys.

How come when Brady struggled it was all "It's the end of an era" "The Pats are dead" and now Manning looks like he's throwing a lubed up mackerel and no one is saying shit?

Kind of like the Talib pick earlier -- if you reviewed the replay de novo, you'd probably make a different call, but with a strong presumption that the on-field call is correct, the replay isn't clear enough to overrule it.

Overturned on what though? Can they rule it joint possession on a replay? So it becomes A Denver reception? Does it change to incomplete?

My money is on obscure NFL replay rule regarding joint possession.....Cincy ball.

The Bengals should be making three yards and a cloud of dust look like Air Coryell. Down fucking Hill, please.

Manning's arm has looked like absolute dogshit for about 5 weeks now. Timing and anticipation can only get him so far, it's incredible how much it's deteriorated even compared to his diminished arm strength of last year.
 
Read reports of Manning's nerve issues slowly coming back. The surgeries can only do so much.

This is the kind of play for which the "call on the field" seems irrelevant. The images are clear. This is a rules question. Deferring to some judgment call that was never actually a judgment is silly.

Only fair. If Talib's stands, so does this one.
I agree, and was OK with the call in both cases.

Of course, I don't really give a shit who wins, so easy for me to say.

Is be shocked if it wasn't.
Really? I'm not surer how they determine possession. Sure looked like the defender really had the ball at the end there. If it was ruled a reception, not sure it's overturned. But ruled an int: not sure they overturn that...

And they confirm it as I'm typing. Famed phone.

Anyway, what's up with the Cinci D? They seem to have a thing of setting up a D, then changing it, then changing it again... The shifts are very specific at the end, and it seems to be giving Peyton a hard time. Are they doing something really different?

Dalton needs to hand off to Hill and Bernard. Having the ball in his hand is bad news.

The stat they showed for playoff AND primetime was funny.

Sad for who?
 
For him? For people who love football? I root against Peyton Manning every single week, but he's one of the best players in the history of the sport, it's always sad to see guys like that go away because they can't physically play anymore.

Broncos offense isn't very good right now. Hope Manning is just old.

Manning is 39 and has played for 16 years, I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over Father Time finally catching up.

Heard Manning on an ESPN radio interview earlier today--said he was expecting them to do exactly this.
