I thought Manning would wait until next week to lay an egg.

Wait until next week?

He started about 6 weeks ago.

To be honest, John Fox should be fired if the Broncos don't win today. The Broncos' roster is stacked, and there's really no excuse for them to lose a home playoff game to anybody.

Hats off to the Colts, if they hang on. I'd love to see Luck roll the Patriots next week (although I don't expect it).

Phil Simms just doesn't want to say it...Manning can't throw the ball beyond 15 yards anymore. He's obviously not the same.

Hats off to the Colts - they were the better team today. Classy organization. Definitely rooting for them to run the table now. I'm always a Broncos fan first and foremost, but I was also Colts fan before today, and even moreso now, after learning that their Coach Pagano won a state championship in Colorado, and grew up a Broncos fan. Go get 'em next week, Indy!

A letter from Gen. Andrew Luck on the campaign in Denver

Dearest Martha,

We've done it! Our campaign to the foothills of the Rockies was a success. We leave Colorado Territory one step closer to our ultimate goal of unconditional surrender.

I don't know [expletive] about football and haven't seen Manning play in a while, but there were some throws today that were just pitiful in my mind. Does he hang them up now? I like Manning, always been one of my favorite players. But, dang....

It's painful for me to even think about him not playing............ and personally I think he'll keep playing.

I'm too biased to come right out and say that he's toast, but I will concede that I'm concerned. He looked terrible today, and the last several weeks of the regular season. He's either hurt or just lost the skills needed to play QB in the NFL.

He still has the skills, but it just seems like that nerve damage he sustained is holding him back. I just think he can't do what he wants to do.
