Manning’s feet always hop. And they’re throwing a lot of WR screens because it’s a great secondary and there aren’t a lot of ways to exploit it. ---

Denver reallllly needed a touchdown before the half. Or points of some kind would have been something. What they didn’t need was an incomplete pass on 4th and 2. ---

It’s been a while since we have seen a blowout Super Bowl. It looks like we are headed that way. New Girl and Brooklyn 99 better deliver. ---

> [@VarlosZ](#): > > Manning’s feet always hop. And they’re throwing a lot of WR screens because it’s a great secondary and there aren’t a lot of ways to exploit it. Not like this. When the pressure of the game rises, his hopping rises. It is much more pronounced. I’ve watched this guy since he played at Tennessee. It’s the same thing over and over. If Manning’s team is winning, he has a smooth drop back. If he is nervous and trying to rush, thr hop, hop hippity hop. Look, he’s the greatest or second greatest QB of his genreation (Brady). There is a reason why he has only 1 Super Bowl win. ---

I take the 3 points. Give yourslf something positive before the half. Going for it is basically saying “we are too far behind and need the TD”. ---

Manning should lose the glove; it’s making his throws even worse. Same thing happened in the game at New England. But it was icy cold there - why use it here? ---

I’m glad I’m not a bookie … I really thought Denver was going to shine. Still a second chance called the second half 😃 ---

From his years as the Panthers’ coach, I can say that John Fox’s biggest weakness was not being able to make adjustments at halftime. ---
