If we lose to Trevor Siemian......

[Davidson Deac II]

If we win by 30, it will be because of some defensive scores.   I don't see the offense putting 30 on the board.

It's not the end of the world, but losing to a first time starter would be brutal. I always felt like week 1 was the tone setter for the rest of the season.

 

 

I still believe we beat the Broncos by 30 week 1

I live in Denver. He actually looks pretty smooth. I would expect a good game next week.

MAKE SURE THAT BASTARD HEAD REF WHO IS A DENVER FAN STEPS NOWHERE NEAR THAT DAMN FIELD.

Would have merit behind it if he was still playing at a pro bowl level, we lost to him when wounded ducks looked better than his throws.

Brady got outplayed by Peyton in the AFC championship, so it's not like he was a total cancer out there.

No. Brady got outplayed by the Denver defense.

It seems like a lot of us are making the same mistake we made before the SB by underestimating our opponent just because they don't have a big name at QB. Make no mistake, this will be a hard fought game, especially when you consider that the Panthers are notoriously slow starters. Even last year, we squeaked by in a lot of games.

Brady 1 TD 2 ints

Manning 2tds 0 ints

Manning won that matchup

You do understand that Brady was playing against Denver's defense and not Peyton Manning, right?

But your making out to be like Peyton was Jimmy Clausen. Peyton was still controlling a lot that game, making audibles. And when Peyton got hurt the Broncos gave up more sacks than any other team in the league, so it's not like he had an all world supporting cast.

What a tough loss that was

I remember we were up 14-0 in the first 5 minutes of the game, one of the TD's was an end-around to Smith, then it was all down hill

i think the cowboys actually set a franchise record for points scored in a quarter in that game.

it was just pathetic and i had to answer to my die hard cowboys fan boss the next day.  the crowning jewel of the john fox "okay we're up two scores in the first, time to shut the offense down for the rest of the game" years.  we actually had a similar collapse against the texans the next season.  got up 14-0 and then gave up 30+ unanswered.

He's not Jimmy Clausen but he was nowhere near what he used to be. The fact is Denver's defense  won that game for them. It's not like this is some big secret or anything.

Brady got hit, knocked down, or sacked more than 20 times in that game.  Manning was under nowhere near the constant assault that Brady was dealing with.

Actually Peyton's line was just as bad as Brady's, rewatch the game tape.

 

The difference is Peyton didn't have to pass as much and was making his decisions quicker. Meanwhile Brady was making some really stupid decisions, passing it into double coverage and getting fooled by Von Miller dropping back

[emhoward]

Traditionally under Rivera. The more game tape, the better. So starting this guy is a bit of a concern. It's also why I think we get off to slower starts than finishes. Even last year when we started 4-0 we didn't look as impressive as we did mid season. We didnt look good against the Jags. We were sloppy against the Texans. We almost let Luke McCown beat us. And that Tampa game was just weird. The first 4 weeks of last year was basically Josh Norman saving us over and over. 

Thankfully the QB'S we play aren't exactly all pro at the start of the season. So are slow starts may not matter. 

[Crazydounut]

I honestly think we lose again. I won't mind since winning won't fix what happened in Febuary. As long as we get homefield advantage. Remember that Siemian is more athletic and better then manning was. And most of Denver's defense is back
