His zip certainly improved over the game.
That Atlanta cloud defense really did seem to confuse Denver, and they have some quality pass rushers and coverage it seems. Matty Ryan was looking in complete control.
Denver's D did step up and allowed Peyton a chance to win but just couldn't come up with it.

A fairly blah game all around. Expecting alot of Manning talk this week by the "experts".

Also, I'll speak it quietly, the Steelers D isn't always quite as good as they are made out to be.
At least against the pass.
On a different note, was nice to see the Giants bring out LeGrand before the game.
Kid is like a hero in NJ, and to be fair I've met him and he's a quiet, modest guy who wants no sympathy and is only positive about his life.
Shame it got no coverage, and focus was put on the small fiasco with Schiano and Coughlin

Different types of throws against the Steelers. Also, I'm guessing the thinner air helps with velocity.

Missed the start, and first pick, but that third one was deff a poor throw.
Maybe the adrenaline pumped him through game 1? His arm was perfectly fine.
We shall see, but a rough first quarter to be mild...

Speaking of looking off, Manning just has no arm strength. Must be hard for him to have to adjust to that.

That would explain it certainly. Agreed, Stafford just looks way off.

^I felt like he had the same issues week 1. I'm almost 100% wrong. I'm just letting you know my observations.

They said that it was really windy there (no surprises). He may have been trying to throw threw the wind that way. There hasn't been any word here about him having a sore shoulder, but that doesn't mean anything.

The Lions are still incapable of playing outdoors. Especially in windy conditions.
New England eliminated me and about 75% of our football pool in the "survivor" portion of our pool. I hate getting eliminated in the 2nd week on that.  I initially clicked on Cincinnati as my guaranteed victory for this week. I seriously considered taking the Niners because I don't believe that the Lions have ever actually won a game on the West Coast during my lifetime (maybe Arizona?). In the end I decided to go with the "sure thing". New England was the only team favored by double digits this weekend. Oh well.

Glad to see the Rams finally win a game; it got pretty crazy at the end with all the turnovers and questionable calls. Sam Bradford played great; I hope that's a sign of things to come.

What I found nice about it, aside from the fact that Celek isn't the most mobile guy in the world, is that Reed didn't even go low to make the tackle. He went at his waist, and Celek still cleared him. I'm not a fan of the hurdle though when it's not needed to a first down. You really leave yourself defenseless and open to an injury or fumble.

Yeah...while it was a great offensive victory for Sanchez safe to say the Bills are not the Steelers....and against said Steelers he looked an awful lot like the Sanchez we all know and love!
Bradford was always good. Well, he was solid, but he was a fine QB...it's just the Rams may have been the most talentless team there was.

Yes, the "hurdle" move seems to be making a comeback as I have seen that a few times over the past week, including college. Agree, Bradford looked good and I have always liked Fischer(sp?) as a coach.

As a Steelers guy, I thank the Eagles for bringing the Ravens back to earth. I am still amazed that in 2 games, the Eagles have still won with 9 turnovers, but winning ugly is still winning. I still would be concerned over Vick's health as he took a lot of hits today. We did ground the Jets today, the defense played well with out a few starters.
