Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested for another DUI in Carter County on December 19th at 4:45 in the morning. This marks the second time Blackmon has been arrested since his indefinite suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy back during the 2012 NFL season.
I am.
Manning has thrown 9 TDS and 17 Ints this year in 8 games and has a QB rating of 67.6
Osweiler has thrown 8 TDS and 4 Ints this year in 5 games and has QB rating of 84.9.
Now not all of this is on the QBs. Manning is not a mobile QB and Osweiler is much better at that. This matters when your O line is crap. Osweiler works much better in Kubiaks offense. As shown by the improved run game with Osweiler under center. Denver WRs and TEs, outside of E. Sanders, have been dropping passes (for Manning and Osweiler) all season long. In fact V. Davis has dropped a very catchable pass for a huge 1st down pass in 4th Q drives each of the last two games. Don't even get me started on D. Thomas... Now none of that would matter if this Manning was the version of the last 2-3 seasons. But unfortunately he is not. He is a 39 year old QB that can no longer stay healthy or throw the way he used to. Father Time always wins.
For this team right now Osweiler is the better choice.

Not saying they'd beat them, I think the Vikings matchup the best in the NFC vs the Panthers though.. I'm hoping thats the NFC championship game.

The way several players in that game behaved themselves is pathetic. The Bat, Beckhams intentional cheap shot during the game...I hope the NFL hands out fines left and right. Maybe suspension to Beckham for that hit.
And another fine and suspension to Wallace from the Steelers for his hit on Bruton.

I like the way the Vikings are built a lot but I don't see any way they're in the NFC title game. If they make it, they'll likely be the 6th seed which means they'd play at the Packers in the first round. Even if they beat them, they'd then have to play at the Cards or at the Panthers...not gonna beat either of those teams.

If Denver loses and KC wins does KC take the division and the first round bye? I think KC owns the tiebreaker, IIRC.
If Denver losses and KC wins they will both be at 11-5. So they would go to tiebreakers:
- Head to Head they are 1-1 so another tie
- Division record: Denver is 3-2 and KC is 4-1 (they both face a division rival in the last game but if Denver beats San Diego than tie breakers don't matter)
So K.C. would win the division and Denver would be a wild card team.

Manning is done. I would not go back to Manning unless Brock is hurt and can't play. Don't forget Manning still leads the NFL in INT's and he hasn't played in 5 weeks.
.
Also Statistically and by the eye test Manning was the worst QB in the NFL this year and the last 6-7 games of last year. Simply put his age caught up to him and he is absolutely finished.
Go Steelers!!! Go Bills!!!
