AFC Playoff Game Thread: Baltimore at Denver (CBS, Sat 4:30PM EST)

Hey, they finally got a PI call on Baltimore. Seems like they didn't want to call it, but definitely had no choice on that one.

Not digging the officiating crew

Did Bill Polian put together this crew?

Try and kiss me and an infraction will be the least of your worries.

Holy crap, this game is filthy with penalties, and I feel like they've missed a lot of calls.

I thought Manning was down on the fumble.

Bailey is not having a good game.

Smith outruns everybody...they gotta give Champ more help. He's an old man.

Im kinda surprised they havent gone deep to Smith more often

5 no-calls on PIs now.

Only way to slow Peyton down

Wow that was a very late holding call.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Broncos are really shooting themselves in the foot.

Not really trying to knock on Manning, because the one today wasn't really his fault and he's in the middle of a strong performance, but has any other elite QB in history thrown so many big-game pick 6's? Between the UF games at UT and numerous NFL games, it seems like he throws one just about every time he's on the big stage.

This is wild. Kuper is totally getting owned. They should put Ramirez back in at RG.

Officiating has been suspect at best.

FYI, he's only thrown a pick with the game on the line in the playoffs one time. Tom Brady has done it 3 times.

Tuck rule?

Super Bowl vs Saints too

If you want to understand how the tuck rule works...if it's Tom Brady, it's on...if it's Peyton Manning it's a no-go.

This game has a feeling of upset.

Fair enough, it just seems like Manning throws a pick-6 with a much higher frequency than other elite QB's. The one in the Super Bowl you referenced was not only picked, but went back for a score as well.

Please. No one even mentioned Brady before you brought him up. Manning fans love to stir a pot.

That's the one time.
