For the first time in a decade, Peyton Manning won’t lead his team into the playoffs. Here are four good reasons why the Broncos will miss the NFL's "second season" in 2012.
Timing with receiving corps
Learning a new offense
The defense will hit a slump
Brutal schedule
Timing: We all know you can build a Dream Team on paper. However, getting the actual players to play like a dream isn't easy (just ask Mike Vick and the Eagles). The Broncos receivers have never had a QB like Peyton Manning, and now Manning will be demanding more from them then ever before. The receivers will need to run crisp routes with no room for error.

Everyone knows Peyton Manning is an android football supercomputer built with alien technology, so the very idea of him having a quarterback coach is laughable to the hahaha degree. Still, the Broncos employ a QB coach anyway, because someone has to coach up Brock Osweiler and pretend like they can make Caleb Hanie game ready in case Manning goes down, because Pey-Pey sure as sh...
