Well Denver Broncos fans, what do you think?

[MAG]

For me it's all good right now. Denver won the AFC West and now own the home field advantage in the playoffs (thank you Miami). Manning came in off the bench and created a spark for the offense helping Denver win the game. I think it's a no-brainer, Manning is the starting QB in two weeks for the divisional playoff game. There is no substitute for experience.

Yeah baby!!

Loved watching that unfold. I am a Chiefs fan first, but would love to see Manning get one more ring. So if it isn't in the cards for my Chiefs, go Broncos!! He has to be the starter going forward, zero doubt about that.

The run game sure opened up when he came in. All the turnovers were not B.O.s fault, but Manning sure provided a spark. Got to go with him if he's healthy.

I thought it sucked

Homefield advantage is huge, glad Miami could help out the Broncos by knocking off the Pats. Had New England gotten the 1st seed they would've been a lock for the SB. I'm happy that Denver won't have to face KC or NE (unless it's in the AFCCG). Go Broncos!

Being a Bronco AND Chief fan is like being a jaysker! You just don't do it! I hate Denver with a passion and as long as Manning is playing in Denver I hope is career goes down the shitter!

All remaining AFC teams are pretty evenly matched, imo. Denver has a slight edge with home field but not a lock for sure. Glad to see Peyton come in today---he broke Favre's record for all time wins i believe

It's always glorious when the Patriots lose a meaningful game, but I'm not overly confident about Denver getting to the AFC title game. AFC is really a crap shoot right now, with the higher seeds not playing very well lately.

Speaking of the Dolphins-Pats game, is it possible to fine Suh for hitting Brady while having his head torn off by an OT?

Halftime (or pregame) of the NBC game said that he doesn't get credit for it, since he did not start the game.

I heard the same thing right after the game.

I'm pretty excited they got the win and home field advantage. I'm not as confident in them reaching the super bowl as I was 2 years ago, but like others have said its kind of a crapshoot. They can obviously beat NE and Cincy at home, but I think Carolina, Arizona and even Seattle are all tougher right now.

As for the QB situation, I would go with Peyton at this point. Osweiler has been better than I expected, but you have to favor experience. If Peyron is truly healthy than I would go with him, and Kubiak had said all along that Peyton is the starter when healthy.

In the end, I think the Broncos go as far as the running game takes them.

I'll hold strong with my prediction that we will lose the first playoff game we play. I think the Offensive Line isn't going to be able to keep Manning off his back enough to beat Pittsburgh or Cincy.

They can't play Cincy in the first playoff game. They get Pitt, or the KC-Houston winner.

I think they want to avoid Houston like the plague. That pass rush would destroy Manning.

Disagree, I think Houston is the easiest draw in the playoffs. I think if given the choice every single team would rather play them than anyone else.

If your line can pass block, that may be true. I don't think Denver can do that.

 

[otismotis08]

Always pulling for Peyton Manning. The Broncos...not so much.
Would be nice to see him win the SB and then retire on top and intact.

Michael Schofield is a sieve at RT. His benching might have had as much to do with the Broncos winning yesterday as the QB change.

 

[ManicHusker]

Not confident they even win a playoff game, but they are good enough to make the SuperBowl as well. AFC Playoff race will be interesting. Pittsburgh and KC look like the most dangerous. Can never count out Brady/NE.

NFC should be great. Carolina, Arizona, and Seattle all look very very good.
