The Colts rested players every year during the Polian era and it always came back to bite us in the playoffs. I'm against that. You find times to sit guys during the regular season when you have a big lead

Brady looked old/beat up/ineffective/whatever term you want to use because the Broncos D kicked the shit out of him yesterday It wasn't his fault. The O line was awful. Denver was all over him rushing 3 guys. When you can drop 8 guys back in coverage and still get to the QB you're doing alright.

Whiny Seattle fans have been making the Panthers and Cam Newton more likable for me.

Every fan base has a percentage of idiots within it. Just can't be avoided when you have a mass of humanity with emotional attachments to a sports franchise.

There is a whole lot of stupid in the world today......

That said, it wouldn't hurt Newton's image to act like he's been there before.

That last part is I think what rubs me the wrong way about Newton. With every 'hot' QB, there ends up being a ridiculous amount of overhyping about said player. Most of the time, this hype doesn't effect the player, they keep their heads and get the job done. Every once in a while, somebody starts buying into their own hype and looking like a jagoff for doing it. Newton is one of those few, from his behavior he seems to be buying into every bit of hype being written about him. 'Superman' might want to remember there are 20+ QBs in the NFL that are more accurate than he is, hard to argue you're something special with that in mind.

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you..........

That is the best defense I've ever seen in my life. Unbelievable the past three games. I didn't see the 85 Bears but I can't imagine they'd have been better.

I can't put into words how much Peyton means to me. It has been a privilege to watch him since 1998 and I teared up a couple of times tonight. Was he the reason the Broncos won? Nope. But he spent his whole career dragging teams to the playoffs, so it was time for his team to carry him. So happy for him

I hope one day I love someone as much as Aaron loves Peyton Manning (no one tell my wife I said that).

So last month when the Colts retired Petyon's jersey and unveiled his statue I went to the game, first time I had been to Lucas Oil. That night I couldn't sleep and so at like 3am I wrote Peyton a letter (first time writing in cursive since 1998?) thanking him for all the joy he brought to me during his career, how there were a lot of times where watching him on Sunday is what got me through the week, had a bigger impact in my life than my father, etc and sent it to his foundation in Denver. Got home from work today and in the mailbox was an envelope. Opened it and there was an autographed 8x10 from Peyton thanking me for the letter and the support

That's very cool AD. Gotta respect a guy that gets it like Peyton does. I mean how many players would actually send a response, let alone one of the greatest QBs ever to play the game?

Right? When I had an envelope from the Peyback Foundation I figured okay cool someone that works there stuffed in an 8x10 and I'd have been tickled with that. When I opened it and saw that Peyton had actually read my letter, I was happier about that than getting the picture. If anyone wants to see it I've posted it on twitter and facebook, don't know how to post pics on here
