The Falcons offense is riding high after putting 40 points on the Chiefs defense but the defense is dealing with the loss of Brent Grimes for the season. In week two, the Falcons will take on a team that made the playoffs last season and also added a Hall of Fame quarterback to their team. This game takes place on Monday and as Falcons fans know, Monday night has not been kind to the Falcons over the years. Here are some basic things the Falcons need to do to win this game: The Falcons must avoid Manning's insane touchdown celebrations Get on the board early In the Chiefs game, the Falcons jumped up early and rode the crest of that early success. On the flip side, the Broncos didn't score until mid-way through the second quarter in their game and didn't score their second TD until mid-way through the third. The Broncos offense is still learning how to play together, whereas the Falcons offense looked like a well oiled machine last week. With the loss of Brent Grim...

Elway’s fire still burns to bring championships to Denver

Via Denver Sports Chat  |  August 02, 2012
Denver, CO. Very few people really know the inner workings of how the Denver Broncos enticed Peyton Manning to sign on the dotted line this past March. The three finalists in the “Manning Derby” came down to the 49ers, Titans, and Broncos, and Peyton kept everything close to the vest before he eventually made his … Continue reading » The post Elway’s Fire Still Burns To...

Manning falters early, Broncos lose to Falcons

Via AP on Fox  |  September 18, 2012

With Leather’s Watch This: Peyton’s The Manning

Via With Leather  |  September 17, 2012
If the start of both football seasons has taught me anything, it’s that I am out of shape. I don’t mean my fat ass, because that’s an obvious statement. I mean my ability to day drink. Hoo boy, I am not 22-years old anymore, and that is just depressing. I actually found myself shaking my proverbial fist at college students this weekend for being too drunk. The hell is wrong...

UF-Tennessee has the feel of their old rivalry

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  September 14, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. At its zenith in the 1990s, the Florida-Tennessee game meant Steve Spurrier tossing barbs, Peyton Manning throwing bombs and Sports Illustrated covers. It was often the regular-season game of the college football season. In the first 10 years of the new SEC that added Arkansas and South Carolina in 1992, either Florida or Tennessee represented the SEC East in every...

Denver Broncos at Atlanta Falcons: Week 2 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 14, 2012
Denver Broncos (1-0) at Atlanta Falcons (1-0) If it wasn’t for Green Bay/Chicago, this would be the game of the week. Actually, scratch that, Green Bay/Chicago was an incredibly ugly game that should have been the game of the week, but wasn’t because teams only had 3 days to prepare and played much worse than they normally do. I hate this new one game on Thursday every week thing...

Looking At The YAC Allowed In The Steelers 27-10 Win Over The Jets

Via Steelers Depot  |  September 17, 2012
Last week I noted the poor job the Pittsburgh Steelers did in their opener against the Denver Broncos at tackling the catch as they allowed 126 total YAC in that game. Now of course it did not help that Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had 70 of those yards on the 1 yard screen pass from quarterback Peyton Manning that ended in a touchdown 70 yards later, but you just can&...
