Gotta heat up their QB on this 3rd down play.

There seriously can’t be people out there that still want Manning employed right? This is flat out pathetic

The play call was not great but Manning didn't throw the ball short when he had Noel with a much better opportunity deep

Might not be a great take but there aren't a lot of great plays for 3rd and 15. It shouldn't have been 3rd and 15 if 2nd down went much better.

They are dropping passes, it’s not Brock’s problem.
uh = well, he's not helped at times. Is it all on him? heck no. he hasn't had time, been flushed from the pocket and there's been a couple drops.

That was a bad decision to throw into double coverage with zero chance of getting a first even if its caught and outside of that, it was a bad throw. The misthrow to Allen in the end zone etc...


the OL holding penalty obviously set us back. And our receivers are not elite. but he's not blameless - there's blame a plenty. He's falling back and throwing off his back foot IMO - which is naturally what QB's do when they are under pressure but as a 4 year veteran you'd like to see him not do that.

the OL has been not great but what did we expect? Honestly I feel like everything being equal against the 2nd or 3rd best defensive front in the nation they're doing a OK job. not good, not great, nothing close but they're not completely getting it pushed in every play .

they're have been a couple of brutal penalties by the OL, miller got run by inside and they have had some flood gates open which leads to the happy feet. receivers have dropped a couple but there have also been throws that have been late and behind.



no one is blameless
