  • This is certainly following the script of the Denver wins involving “Peyton Manning” (and, for that matter, Tim Tebow, who I think is probably the better player as of now.)
  • Denverite will be happy that nobody can mock his “historic defense” prediction ever again.
  • The officiating has been abysmally bad. The Panthers have the most to complain about — the bizarre refusal to overrule on the clear catch by Cotchery not only led to a Denver TD but cost them a crucial challenge — but there have been bad calls both ways. Still, officials don’t decide games. Carolina didn’t have to respond to that call with a turnover. And Denver responded to a terrible taunting call on Talib with a stop.  (Granted, that call seems like preemptive karma given the effectively unpenalized Talib facemask.)
  • Riverboat Ron seems to be reverting to merely Ron. I understand him being upset about another obviously blown call, and it’s insane that you lose a successful challenge, but you can’t blow your last challenge to gain 7 yards there.  And his clock management at the end of the half was straight from the School of Andy Reid.
  • I assume Kubiak won’t do it as long as he’s ahead, but rationally it’s insane to keep “Peyton Manning” in the game. Even on the first drive he had absolutely nothing on his throws. It does, however, underscore how crucial that Miller strip-sack was — as long as Kubiak is determined to play “Manning,” Denver really cannot play from behind.
