Very true. He's a regular season God. He just isnt himself in the cold and when the pressure is on. Imho, I think it has more to do with the cold. He sucked last year in the regular season during cold games. He looked like absolute shit @New England when it was snowing. He looked incredible against them during the warm weather in the post season.

There's no denying he has mental issues, but it seems like the cold fucks with him both physically and mentally.

Peyton isn't even that bad in the cold iirc. He's the regular season GOAT, so he elevates teams whose flaws (his included) get more exposed in the playoffs. I doubt the Broncos make it far last year without Peyton as their D was not good, largely because of injuries. He's no Montana in the clutch but then who is.

I do think they'll go down in rankings after this week, where I expect them to get buttfucked by Seattle. The PEDs and piped in noise will be off the charts.

Obviously they are not much without Peyton, but I disagree with the defense thing. They started off very strong but had a serious injury every single game. I believe their 3rd string defense was playing in the superbowl.

This ranking is too subjective. Its easy to put a 2-0 Denver team on top, but their victories at home haven't been impressive. If this poll was really objective, Buffalo would be number one. They've been the most impressive so far. Road win at Chicago and a blowout victory at home against Miami has been more impressive.

They are going by how good they thought they were in the beginning too probably. And whipping up on two mediocre teams doesn't mean that much.

The media slurps Fivehead for a living, so they were just waiting for any excuse to rank them #1 :lol

The Broncos beat two playoff teams, no other team can say that. I do think it's wrong to have some teams starting off playing double home games while some start off with a double road trip. Why they do that...??? I have no stat/trend on that but I'm pretty sure teams start off better playing at home two weeks in a row than on the road. I doubt the Saints are 0-2 vs they'd had a home game.

Right now and it really doesn't matter because it's way too early...but...the Bengals look good.

Fivehead IS the flaw that gets exposed in the playoffs :lol

His insistence on being the de facto head coach and offensive coordinator and his tendency to melt down when things don't go exactly the way he planned always bites him in the ass come playoff time, tbh..... he's the Choke Paul of the NFL, a similar control-freak choke artist....

Between Von and Welker, yes, the PED's will be off the charts :lol

No pumped-in noise necessary, Seattle fans are just genuinely loud.... they used to be even louder at the Kingdome :lol

Fuck the wack Bengals. Fuck AJ...for getting hurt. I switched him out for Sammy Watkins but it didn't save and I was locked in. Lost to the other team by 1 pt.

Losing by that slim of a margin is maddening. Last week was a disaster for me. Lacy, AJ Green, just to name a few. Had Alfred Morris on the fucking bench :bang

Fucking wasted both Sammy Watkins and Jonathan Stewart's good weeks! I lost because the Colts gave up a touchdown to that cheap ass Shady McCoy. Man, I have a team but I can't be giving away wins like that.

Dennis Pitta gave me absolutely nothing as well, damn Owen Daniels. That Vulture fuck needs to go back to Houston

Yeah I have Jordan Reed on the bench, my patients are running thin at the TE spot. I just tried to trade for Alshon Jeffrey, the guy accepted the terms and the league cock blocked me like a bunch of bitches. If I get on a roll I'm going to rub that shit in their faces, clowns. 1-1 right now

I usually start out slow because I'm up against the guy who loves Peyton in the first two weeks. I get hot around week 5 and go on a tear. I've made the playoffs 8 of 9 years and have been to the title game 3 times. I've won once and lost twice. Both my loses have been by a combined count of 4 pts. Lost two years ago by 1.5 pts and 2.5 back in 2010. I think that was the year that Vick went apeshit and took my injured team to the promise land. If I had started the Vikings TE instead of bust Grisham on the sorry Bengals, I would've won the $500 earnings. It's been disappointing to say the least...

I usually get going around week 4. I typically always lose week 2 and then it goes from there. Last year was the worst as I came in 2nd. Would rather have no chance then to be right on the door step.

You're telling me man...I win the Best Named Team almost every year. I should be a 3-time champion but haven't had the luck since 2007 and its been frustrating. So close but yet so far! I've made the semifinals 5 times and have gone 3-2. I should be grateful that I get some money for the times I lose in the title game but it is never enough lol especially with how much I spend watching these games and bar tabs...etc..etc..

I can't watch games in bars, especially Seahawks game. I feel like hitting people so I try to avoid it :lol. I just follow at home unless somebody really wants to get drunk and have bar food. We play to win, and when I put up the cash I assume it's gone no matter what even though I place well. So, I can't be grateful, as I hate to lose more than I like to win.

I feel you on that one. There is one bar that is a Seahawk friendly one open by ex-pats from Washington. I go there mainly because they have a great line-up of the craft beers that WA brews and they're some of my personal favorites. They are also really cool in bringing in the NorCal stalwarts like Russian River and whatnot. My girl likes the salmon fish and chips they make in the style of Seattle so she is always game to meet me in the morning. She doesn't like it when I get all volatile about the Hawks or my FF team, so it helps to have her around. She drinks very little so I also get my own DD most Sundays. Man, we need to bounce back this weekend. It is my birthday on Sept. 21st so if they do well I'll consider that the best gift I could receive.

yet Fivehead has accomplished more in the playoffs than your Clippers and Chargers combined. as for PEDs, careful, where would Lebron be without them. Fivehead won a ring in a storm while Lebron fell apart from a broken AC.

Correction: Fivehead's defense was accomplishing shit in the playoffs and dragging Fivehead's choking ass to a ring.... :cry "but but Fivehead beat Rex Grossman in a light drizzle!" :cry

You're thinking of the wrong Heat player, it's actually Wade that's dependent on PED's :downspin:
