Broncos Chargers Halftime recap 14-0


If the Chargers want to win then they have to take advantage of the mistakes of the Broncos. The Broncos 1st drive when Manning threw a potential interception. They have to capitalize on it. Also the missed field goal by the Chargers ended up being a bad hold by the holder. The football was positioned down instead of up or straight like it should've been. Rivers has to move a little bit more out of the pocket then reposition himself while looking down field. Manning let a few balls get away from him along with the int that he threw. It was a bad decision and he should have made a better throw the play before. If the Chargers want to win then they have to find a way to force turnovers and stay offsides on defense.

Johnny Manziel on going to the NFL


I thought he should've stayed in college another year but if he is going to go then has to learn how to slide and not dive. When Micheal Vick came in the league he had two seperated shoulders against Pittsburgh & Cleveland. Manziel was banged up a few times in college and the NFL pays players to hit people especially the quarter back and when you don't slide you are free game plus he only weighs about 209 lbs if that. He has to go to a team that gets him weapons and has decent offensive line. They don't have to be that great because he can scramble. The team would have to have a similar system like Drew Brees and the Saints. Manziel likes to prove people wrong especially his doubters so I do believe that he will go to the NFL and if he does stay it will be a very good reason. He also has to get better at his decision making because having too many in the NFL can get you fired.

Bears sign Jay Cutler to a 7 yr deal


If I were the Bears I would see where Josh McCown would take them. Its obvious that he out played the starter in Cutler. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. You could've franchised him for the last in order for him to prove himself worthy of a new contract. We can look at Flacco and he proved himself but the Ravens took away a key weapon and you can see where it got them. People talk about McCown being 34 but Peyton Manning is 37 and what's wrong with giving McCown a 3year contract of proving himself. Philly did it with Foles and he improved. I wouldn't have gave Cutler a new deal.

Pittsburgh Steelers got the short end of the stick


Is it fair to say that Pittsburgh got cheated? I would say yes because according to ESPN a call should have been made according when the Chargers lined up illegally on the field goal attempt. A five yard penalty should have been called & another attempt should have been made. Either way the Chiefs should have placed the ball in the middle of the field to make it an easier attempt. Also I believe that it was a fumble by the Chargers full back. His feet were still moving forward and he lost the ball. Now if his forward progress were stopped then I would agree with the call. All in all Pittsburgh has to wake up earlier in the season and take control of their own destiny.
