NFL Season Opener. Tonight. NBC. Super Bowl Champ Ravens @ Broncos rematch

Manning 462 yards 7 TD and 0 INT. Jesus

every RB in the game got stuffed

 

Trevathan had an INT, 2 PD and was #4 on the team with tackles. Woodyard had 10 tackles .5 sacks 1 TFL 1 PD 2 QB hits

 

the MVP of the week no doubt. unless someone else joins Manning as the first QB in NFL history to throw for 7 TDs in one game since 1969 when the Super Bowl was played in Tulane Stadium. only 5 men did it before that, including LSU's Y.A. Tittle.

 

I played against Peyton in both of my (only) fantasy leagues this week. Ouch!!! Just when I was finally starting to somewhat like the guy. Throw the challenge flag Harbaugh! Ray Lewis and Ed Reed would have never fallen for all of those play-actions when they never established a running game.

 

At the end of the 1st qtr, I was feeling really good (0 TDs). At halftime, I was still feeling alright (2 TDs).

At the end of the 3rd, I was cursing Harbaugh for the challenge situation and telling myself that if Peyton had any more TDs in the 4th, then I was going old school and only worrying about the big Saints game on Sunday. Now, all in on the Who Dat.

No other choice when Peyton scores 62 in one of my leagues and 78 in the other.

 

A couple notes:

WR coach for Denver is a former LSU player...

On a side note, I know its just the first game, but the Ravens offense looked out of sync, big time. Sure am glad they fired Cam. Thanks Ravens. Did they blame that loss on Cam also?
