Wow!!! Did Manning suck or what? Plus, unbelievably stupid play calling.
200%.
Sucked is an under statement and I was just baffled with the play calling. You got one of the best down field QBs in the league and every play was a short little screen - even on 3rd and 8 they would call a 3 yard screen... and then Manning couldn't even complete those passes!!!
I have always loved Payton Manning, but I got to say he just chokes in big games. Three years in a row now with Denver he had great seasons and just couldn't get it done in the post season, not to mention a number of times with the Colts. I never paid much attention to it until he came to Denver, but now it is pretty obvious that no matter how well he plays during the season and how many records he sets... he is going out with one Super Bowl ring.
And it wasn't just the offense, the defense played like crap too. Not taking anything away from Andrew Luck and the Colts offense, but there were so many missed tackles and receivers left open by the Broncos defense.
Overall the Broncos just played like they really didn't want it as much as the Colts. I always said when you get to this point all the team are good - otherwise they wouldn't be there - and the ones who want it the most will get it.
wonder if John Fox needs to start looking for another coaching job after that pi$$ poor play calling and lack of getting his team ready!

Well yea I'm a Cowboys fan but I got to say Green Bay played damn good with a one legged QB.

I've been thinking a Pack vs. Pats Super Bowl all along but after watching Rodgers stand still I'm not so sure anymore they will get past the Hawks.
Even though I'm a sad Giants fan I would love to see Green Bay take it this year.

Sad to see the poor performance from Manning,yet someone was calling the plays.Over all he did his best.In my mind it has everything to do with the coaching/play calling that makes the huge difference.
Hope it turns out to be a good match-up this year for the Super bowl !!!

Yep, today is the day we pick our Super Bowl teams... or I should sway they pick themselves. At this point all the teams are really good and it is going to come down to whoever wants it the most and comes to win.
Personally I will be rooting for the Packers in the first game and the Patriots in the second game.
We are looking forward to a fun day at Mugs Away. Along with football it is also Cindy's Birthday party and we will be there with Russ & Cindy, Kevin & Bea, Ray & Susan, Barry (maybe Curtis) and all the Mugs Away regulars!

The first game was a great game, the second pretty much one sided. Since I had no favorites in the mix I was just looking to watch some good football and have a good time. And a real good time we had. There were about 14 of us together at Mugs Away to watch the games and celebrate Cindy's B-Day. The bar was packed but of course our little party was over the top. I stopped drinking early and was the driver for Laura and I and Ray and Susan. Then I had to get up this morning and drive there butts back to the bar to get their car :-) ... but no problem to make sure my friends were safe!
We'll be back in the same palce, with the same people - plus some - in two weeks for the Super Bowl!!!
