Thanks Colts for losing. The Bengals have a very good shot at the 2 seed in the AFC if they can finish strong.

Way to give away the game in the first quarter.

Wow Peyton is more afraid to throw then a 13 year old boy asking out the hot girl in class. ....I'm tired and eaten up by cold, cut me some slack Srsly, I know it's like 20 and windy but Brady seems to have no issue passing. Cmon Peyton, man up! Edit: Hey whadya know, throwing it near Demaryius tends to work out well. Glad you remembered this now with 6 minutes left in the 4th

Denver will loathe this one...victory right there for the taking and a muffed return? What a dreadful way to lose it.
And my god, did he hand the ball of 50 times? Looked like Peyton and co was trying to let the Pats come back (then let em win). Well, was a helluva comeback

That game was insanely good. Not the way I wanted it to end, but then again, nothing in sports have gone my way lately.

Crazy end to that Lions game.
Who would have thought the hapless chargers would make it a shootout with the chiefs. I suppose the defensive injuries help, but still...
As for the gmen...Cruz really has to learn to hold on to the damn ball. Twice now it's been ripped from his hands...both in divisional games. Oh well...they are really more like a 5-11 team this year anyway.

I know he's Peyton Manning, but when your RB's are getting 6 yards a carry, why not? Sure they were dropping the ball all over the place, but so was Manning.

IDK it's a tough one but sheesh, you have to admit didn't even look like he was trying outside of a few minute stretch. Just damn. Guess it just felt like such a buzzkill for an elite QB, especially when Brady was thriving despite the awful conditions. I hate all the comparison hype, but in this game I saw a QB afraid to throw until it was absolutely necessary and one that went for it despite early struggles.
Hope tonight goes well, which would be SF crushing Washington.
Zero hope btw, not that I had any (I just was hoping to beat all our rivals) but honestly, wouldn't mind if from here out the Giants just tanked so we can try to get Clowney. Need help all over, but they love linemen so might as well start there. Love Tuck, and Kiwanuka, but they gotta go it seems. TY for the times guys but they simply don't produce anymore (can't count a 4 game stretch of decent play against awful opponents really). I figure: Tuck, Kiwanuka, Rolle, Webster, Diehl, Snee all gotta be let go. I was wrong about Nicks, we should have traded him for anything we could've gotten after all, dude apepars to have quit on the team.
Least the O line continued to improve, held up pretty well and opened some decent holes for Brown, who still is running like a madman. Thank god for that at least!
EDIT: I was shocked to see the KC result but then learned of injuries to Hali and Houston. That is basically their defense right there  what was more shocking was to see how they bounced back. 38 points??? Thought it was against their team rules to go that high! Didn't know Alex Smith could even physically throw the ball for so many yards

Stillers still alive, game Thanksgiving night against the Ravens should be a usual brawl...if I can fight off the lazy boy and tryptophan effect and stay awake. 
The Broncos loss will come back to haunt them, how ironic that Welker's mistake ended the game. I agree that Manning needs to man up in the elements, even though the running game was working. It does not look promising for the playoffs since most all the AFC leaders are outdoor cold weather stadiums (except the Colts).

It was all the short passes Peyton made as well, just felt lackluster. I guess it's the trouble of being up too big, you can be damned either way but for all the talk of elite QBs and etc etc really would expect more.
I'd gladly take Peyton, he's a legend, HoFer and gotta be the smartest QB in the game buuuuuuut, with a new team, an undeniably talented one to boot, failing to close out a 24-0 lead in another "big game" pains me to say but the reputation is building a bit...

There's the big difference between Kansas City's defense and Cincinnati's defense. The Bengals lost their best two defensive players a few weeks back, but they are so deep all around on defense that it almost doesn't matter. I'm sure KC will figure it out in weeks to come, but I don't know if they can keep it up the same way Cincinnati did.

Nope. And this Thursday, I won't be able to enjoy the Lions game at all (unless they blow out the Packers, which is still unlikely) until it's over, in which case I'll either be elated or just depressed for the rest of the day. If the tradition continues, I'll be depressed by 1pm.

Man I paid the price at work today for staying up late to watch that Patriots/Broncos game but it was so worth it. So tired today but that was a game that will be talked about for a long time. I quit watching it in the first half after Broncos went up 21-0 but when I checked back in the second half Patriots had already scored and were driving down the field again. Classic stuff.

If it'll settle you Lion fans for once, you will be playing the Giants in a few weeks. That's a guranteed win, and Calvin Johnson may end up breaking records in that game.
It's a huge blow for KC. Hali and Houston were 2 of the top 3 pass rushers in the NFL, can't really replace that but yeah they don't have much depth.
I said it last year, RGIII didn't impress. All runs, QB runs, and dink passes. They said it best in this game "its like watching college" how many screen passes were there and under 10 yarders??
Least it gives me some faith the G men can sneak another win this year
