Quote:The entire Bronco's team was outplayed in all phases. Of course people will blame Manning, but the entire team played absolutely awful. One player can't make a difference on that.

 

Need to stop excusing Manning.  Yes, his team imploded and he was being pressured.  But our team played the Seahawks with a rougher o-line, Chad Henne under center, and worse receivers (Blackmon was out, so it was Cecil, a rookie Sanders and waiver claim Burton).  Chad Henne still got us to 17 points.

 

When you realize that Peyton got less done than Henne, you really can't excuse it away as "but his team let him down".  Peyton choked along with the rest of them.  It was painful to watch.
