They really should have given the ball to Turner there.

Good for you dude! That's awesome. Your first win?

I guess it shouldn't be a shock that Denver's no-huddle offense isn't as effective in a dome at it was at altitude last week. Denver will be really tough to beat at home, but they'll be a different team on the road. Peyton is also not as sharp this week as last week.

Maybe Peyton will never have the zip on the ball he once did. He'll have to become a Trent Dilfer type game manager. A guy that doesn't give the game away, but can't necessarily carry you to wins, but relies on a strong surrounding cast. A guy who can break down film and not make mistakes.

Well just got home and see that Peyton went all Jay Cutler on me. How many don't believe they can still win this after that late TD pulled them within 2 scores. Eli threw 3 picks yesterday but still had over 500 yards and pulled out the win. Denvers D will need to come out strong to start the 3rd.
The owners need to put the pressure on the league to get rid of these scab refs. GOD AWFUL especially the backfield judges since the pro game is so different from college in pass D.

Give the poor guy a few games before calling him Dilfer-like Kevin. ha
Wow, this is just wrong. Peyton will never digress to Dilfer level. He would retire first.

The owners are the league. Isn't it the owners that don't want to pay up?

Denver's D is worn out. This might get ugly now. Atlanta is for real.

Atlanta never really puts teams away, they always let them hang around. Glad to get the W but even more glad we played Denver in week 2 rather than later in the year. They are going to be good.

Love seeing Denver lose, love seeing Peyton lose, love seeing Jack Del Rio's defense lose, like seeing Mike Smith win. A good night.

I will be honest, I hope they bench him for Sunday. I think Rodgers and Snelling can actually do more at this point to help the team than he can. He looks so slow out there and just doesnt hit the holes like he used to. In addition, the Falcons try to actually have a moral compass as an organization and would send a big message to me and alot of people if they sit him Sunday.

The officiating was not good last night. More than anything, they couldnt administer simple rules in a timely fashion and killed any momentum either team had. They gave the Broncos an 11 yard penalty when it should have been 5. A judgment call is one thing, chalk it up to inexperience but calls that have specific cut and dry actions should never be missed. The Falcons probably got more of a benefit than the Broncos on the "judgement" calls but the whole game was just brutally slow.

I think you may see some sort of settlement between the refs and the NFL with the NFL putting some spin on it to appear that the refs caved in a bit.
Yeah the game had NO flow at all and was just way too plodding. Hard to watch these games when that happens. Like that Eagles Ravens game Sunday, just couldnt watch after the first quarter went on for over an hour. Zzzzzzz
