Peyton Manning to miss at least two more weeks

There’s no way I don’t get that award if receivers aren’t getting open and breaking off their routes and making plays for me.

After a visit with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Anderson on Monday in North Carolina, Manning is now scheduled to wear the walking cast for seven to 10 days and then restart his rehab on his injured foot.

With Tuesday’s announcement that Peyton Manning will miss a third week to due a torn plantar fascia, setting up a best-case scenario return against Oakland on December 13, it seems that Broncos Country may be opening up to the possibility that Brock Osweiler could be the starter through the end of the 2015 season.

On top of it, both defenses are on fire right now. “I was sitting behind one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the position”.

The Patriots have only turned the ball over eight times this season, second least in the NFL.

This won’t be your typical Patriots-Broncos shootout. “Denver can score whether they have the ball or not”. What we think they are going to do and get ready like that. The Broncos have forced 19 this season. He finished 20-of-27 against the Bears for 250 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago.

Osweiler was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. But even if Manning does notch one more win this year, his record may not last long. “I’m going to put in the time and the effort to do it as quick as possible”.

“I’ve been seeing all different types of coverages”, Gronkowski said. That went really well. Evan Mathis, Demarcus Ware and Emmanuel Sanders are questionable. And the Broncos scored on only three of 11 offensive drives. “He’s a great player and you have to be aware of him”.

“I got here at 10:30 last night, worked out this morning and got signed immediately”, Ponder said. The Denver Broncos ground game is averaging 94.4 yards per contest, and Ronnie Hillman leads the way with 528 yards and five touchdowns. The more they rush; the harder it is to block them.

Objectively, though, Osweiler deserved the praise he received. Defensively, New England is allowing 18.2 points and 341.3 yards per game.

The Broncos undoubtedly will be the biggest test of the season for the Patriots’ offense. Danny Amendola, Jamie Collins and Tre’ Jackson are questionable.

Gil Whiteley and James Merilatt had the phones rolling on Mile High Sports AM 1340 on Wednesday, with callers offering their thoughts on what gives the Broncos the best chance to win through the team’s last six games and, potentially, the playoffs.

That doesn’t mean they haven’t talked about other things, though.

And the Broncos have an excellent secondary.

-Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips recognizes an echo from his past Broncos stint when he sees Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. “I was No. 7 from little-league baseball through college, and then four years in Minnesota because of that, so I’m excited to be here”.
