I'm not completely clear that it's happened here, but I believe it has. It certainly has made the rounds in the media, but that doesn't mean much I guess.

There was recently an article on ESPN last week that compared the Mannings in about 9 different areas (accuracy, game knowledge, mistakes, arm strength...) Eli won 4 out of 5 or something like that and the panel gave the edge to Peyton

Not evena comparable choice in my opinion. One is a good quarterback and one will be a legend.

Broncos have scored 127 points in 3 games (it could have been 148 if not for a fumble in the redzone each game). Next closest is Greenbay who is 31 points behind. Peyton Manning has 12 TD passes and is on pace to blow Brady's 50 TD in a season record out of the water with 64.

Defense is good but not perfect. Denver still also needs to work on stupid giveaways. 3 fumbles this game. Denver won't be playing the Giants and Raiders every week.

Edit: Denver also has 4 receivers with over 190 yards. Next closest team is Green Bay with 3.

Just imagine if the Broncos had not shut down the offense and played prevent the entire 2nd half. They really did play an entirely different game for the 2nd half. Essentially trying to run the clock out from the 1st time they touched the ball in the 2nd half till the end of the game. They were out to prove in the 2nd half that if they wanted to they could run the ball as well.

Was thinking the same thing, they went into a totally different offense and ate up the clock in the second half. Saw some plays with one receiver and two tight ends. How often do you see that with Manning at QB?

They played quite a few plays with 3 TE's and 1 RB with 1 WR. They had 2 TE's for more plays than not in the 2nd half.
.
I'm not sure they had a single play in the 1st half with 2 TE's. If they did it was not near as often as in the 2nd half.

The one he lost was all on Clark. Just plain got beat and Manning had no chance.

True but my point being is that the team, all levels, have room to improve. The Broncos are steam rolling teams. Well they can be even better and they know it.

It's fun to watch Manning orchestrate things. He's like Beethoven out there. Using snap count to see what the defense will do, then audible and tell each player on offense what they need to do... then run the play and get exactly what they wanted out of it. It's just sick. I don't care if Eli has more SB rings, Peyton is the best there is and is a mix between Michaelangelo and Beethoven. It is beautiful to watch. If Denver does not win t all this year it will be very very very disappointing.
