Denver Broncos @ Atlanta FalconsThe Denver Broncos (1-0) came away with a huge win in Peyton Manning's return to the NFL defeating the Steelers in front of the Bronco faithful.Peyton Manning was really missed by the NFL last season, it was great to see him out there audibling at the line and carving up the defenses like only Peyton can. The Falcons are down a Pro Bowl cornerback and Manning has to be excited for his first Monday night back. Expect a good game from him this week.Willis McGahee is the clear No. 1 back in the Denver backfield, but as the Broncos try to develop Manning and the receivers the run game is going to have to take a back seat for a few weeks. McGahee is a good guy to target as a trade partner in a few weeks.Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker both had seven targets and each came down with five of them. Just as we thought, Thomas had the big explosive play while Decker was a steady, consistent target. Brandon Stokley had two catches and should not be owned sti...

Manning getting up to speed with receivers
Turns out, Peyton Manning does have a favorite wide receiver in Denver - the one who's open.
That's the thing about the Broncos quarterback: He doesn't particularly play favorites. The four-time NFL MVP is so adept at spreading the wealth around that he's not choosy about his choices.
All he demands is a little bit of open space.

There’s a renewed sense of excitement at Random Sporting Goods Chain at Mile High Field. Unfortunately, there’s also scads of pigeon sh*t. That’s right. Some Broncos fans say they can’t enjoy watching Pey-Pey’s NeckAIDS heroics because they’re too busy avoiding the fecal spray of winged rats. Are the waves of pigeon droppings merely the first in a wave of plagues being...

NFP is seeing a lot of similarity to the Denver Broncos offense today and the one Peyton Manning ran when he was with the Indianapolis Colts. I’m not surprised, the Broncos would be fools not to do that. Heck, if they’d do it for Tim Tebow and the option, why wouldn’t they do it for Manning? [National Football Post]

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.
