The NFL Thread

Peyton Manning passing yard record under review:

Peyton Manning's stat line from the Denver Broncos' 34-14 win Sunday over the Oakland Raiders was 25-of-28 passing for 266 yards and four touchdowns. The four TD passes gave him 55 for the season, extending his record total to five more than Tom Brady's former mark. The yardage total gave Manning 5,477 -- one more than Drew Brees' 2011 record.

The league's record-keepers were taking another look at things Monday, as is customary each week in the season. At issue, according to sources, is a 7-yard completion from Manning to Eric Decker with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter.

Manning set the mark on the last play from scrimmage for the Broncos before halftime, a 5-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. He did not play in the second half.

In one camera angle, the pass to Decker looks like a lateral, which would make it a running play. Another angle, from above, shows Decker receiving the ball at the Broncos' 48-yard line, with Manning slightly deeper than that.

If the play stands, Manning would keep the record. If it is eventually ruled a run, he would be credited with 259 yards Sunday and 5,470 this season. The 5,470 would be the second-highest season total in league history and still easily be Manning's career best.

Plays are routinely reviewed throughout the season by Elias Sports Bureau, which keeps the league's statistical records, and teams are often notified in the days following games of corrections in items such as sacks or rushing and passing yardage.

To all you Charger fans making excuses about the season should have been wrapped up before this or that, played better-whatever....Blah, blah...That's why we play them all and this year it came down to one last game, one last play, one BLOWN CALL.

The Chargers are in the playoffs on a BLOWN CALL. They're in of the skin of River's crooked teeth, there's no what if's or two ways about it.

I don't see the Chargers or Steelers beating the Beagle's in Cincinnati but I would rather see the team that deserves it have the chance. The Steelers did their part, the Ref's didn't.

The Chargers have a better shot at only the Donkey's, so I hope they do it, wouldn't mind seeing them in the Bowl for that matter. They're about the only AFC team I have left too Root for so I hope River's can play all 4 quarters from here on out.

It's doesn't matter if the team gets the first down from a good play, a good spot, a penalty or a missed call...All that counts is they get the first down. The Chargers don't deserve to be in the playoffs, all that counts is they're in.

Marvin Lewis is 0-4 in the playoffs and there is a realistic chance that a playoff game will be blacked out. A PLAYOFF GAME! So, yeah, the Chargers could very easily go to the next round.

[Tenacious_Dio]

I'm sure Ryan Succop is glad the refs missed that call. Better to have Steeler Nation angry at the refs than the guy who really cost them the playoffs.

The Chargers will not beat the Beagles.

Cincy is hot, undefeated 8-0 at home and facing one of the worst passing defensive teams in the league while the Chargers go up against one of the best defensive teams. Never the less I hope the Chargers win but they will lose and they'll lose it in the 4th.....Or it wont even be close.

The Steelers would have had a better shot in Cincy. Division rivals, cold weather teams, split the season, better match up.

Succop was the real winner in yesterdays fiasco.
I'm thinking Chef fans will be a little more nervous if the same situation presents itself again in the playoffs.

Bengals, Colts, Packers haven't sold out playoff games!

The fine people of Green Bay aren't exactly in a rush to pack Lambeau Field this weekend. On Tuesday afternoon, a whopping 11,000 tickets still remained for Sunday's NFC playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cincinnati Bengals still have nearly 10,000 tickets remaining for Sunday's wild-card meeting with the San Diego Chargers.

The Indianapolis Colts find themselves in a similar struggle, with almost 6,000 tickets left for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kyle Orton: “I just threw a bad pass”

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... -bad-pass/

"It’s very disappointing to everyone in Dallas that the Cowboys are, for the third straight year, 8-8."

dirtdawg54 says: But so satisfying to everyone else. Three chances to win and get in and nothing to show for it. Beautiful.

elliottcovert says: You can take the Cowboys out of the Romo, but you can’t take the Romo out of the Cowboys!

NYDailyNews.com, On a night when they needed Kyle Orton to be Clint Longley, he ended up being . . . Tony Romo.

NFL.COM - Mediocrity reigns supreme in Dallas. The Cowboys finished 8-8 for a third straight season and are now 136-136 since 1997.

Continue paying players, say someone like ROMO 108 million dollars or lowering ticket prices to a reasonable rate....I hope they don't sellout and blackout on top of it!

Unlike GB, Cincinnati and Indy, we don't get many chances to buy playoff tickets.

Unless they win a playoff game, then they will jump on the bandwagon, then jump off after the next week's loss.

This would seem to be Marvin's best ever shot at winning a playoff game. You'd think fans would want to see that? I don't give a shit about ticket prices or televison being better. THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS!!

I'd agree, like Ryan and the Falcons last year, you are bound to win eventually.

The Colts were finally able to avoid a blackout..

The team offered free 30 minutes with Sweet Kim to anyone who purchased a ticket and attended the Poison show on Carb Day..

That's cool. Because right now, our prospects look a lot brighter than the Cowboys. The past don't mean shit...
Except to Cowboys fans.

Former Vikings punter says he lost job due to stance on gay marriage.

In an article posted to Deadspin entitled “I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot,” former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe alleges that he lost his job as Vikings punter because of his public support of gay marriage.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/01/chris-k ... e-priefer/

He looks gay if it matters. This could go viral knowing the Viking fan base is into rainbows, unicorns and everything gay. Their team colors are Barney the dinosaur purple and Golden Shower for fuck sake.

So it is at least possible that three of the last four AFC teams standing will be from the one division. Has this ever happened before?

I'm sure it has, there used to only be 3 divisions. I am too lazy to look for it though.

[Sixx6Sixx]

Wow, the Colts managed to pull it off after being so far behind earlier in the game. I wonder if our friend P13 is pleasuring himself to that ending?
