Manning playing through injury. Bye is ours for the taking!

I saw some of those lame ducks Manning let go of yesterday. There's no way he's healthy. Those balls just died in the air.

I just don't see him wanting to go out that way. Whether he will or not is yet to be determined but I just don't see him wanting his career to end on a game like that. I do believe this is his last season.

If Peyton is out until after our game, it will be nice to have 5+ games of tape on Osweiler before our trip to Denver.

The stars are lining up (or falling down, in this case) for the Bengals this season.

I was never one to play by the rules.

The bye is ours to lose…We need to distance ourselves from the rest of the pack some more. Pitt can still strike if we start losing games.

You can have more than 1... but you need an absolute #1 say Bengals.

if another NFL team i would say next you should pick from the opposite conference so an NFC team to follow. (or at least thats something to do when your team is really bad) these would be team(s) that you follow but dont really care if they win or lose.

I started following the Broncos back in '86 (I guess the game itself was actually in '87) when Elway beat Cleveland in "The Drive".

Dalton vs Clev ('14) - QBR 2.0
Manning vs KC - QBR 0.1

Peyton had a 0.0 passer rating and that tied 5 others who had done that since 2002. Dalton never had the lowest rating ever. Heck, Palmer had a lower rating (1.7) against the Jets in '09, so Dalton doesn't even have the lowest single game rating by a Bengal.

I may be in the minority, but I liked some (not all) of Peyton's commercials. The "laser...rocket arm" commercial is one of my all-time fav commercials and the Nationwide commercials are a little funny.

That United Way skit he did for SNL was easily the funniest thing he's ever done though.

Would love to beat Denver at their best. But will take whatever. C'mon Man.

The bye may be ours for the taking, but the offense has to learn to get out of its own way first. Losing to the Texans, that'll get us bye...

Losing to the Texas had to make Brady laugh a little. A loss like that at home screams playoff ready... :snark:

I absolutely do not want a bye. Everyone his ho hooing about "prime time", but in the last three years we have beaten Pittsurgh, Denver, Cleveland and possibly some I'm forgetting in prime time. This team's problem is they do not play well coming off a bye, or really any change to their normal schedule. Case in point last night coming off a 10 day rest. They need to just put the hammer down and play straight through the Super Bowl with no byes to break their rythm.
