The key has always been to pressure him up the middle. At least that is what coaches who have had success against him say. Such as Romeo Crennel and Ron Rivera.

Sorry if my earlier post was misleading. I think were saying the same thing, though. I'm trying to say Indy's defenses weren't as bad as people seem to think because of the reasons I mentioned. Playing on carpet hurt Indy's defense. Playing indoor's hurt Indy's defense. Not playing a ball control offense hurts Indy's defense. One of the biggest myths that Manning apologists like to push is that he didn't have a defense when this is not the case. He played with Freeney, Mathis and Bob Sanders all guys who are difference makers. Sanders was a dpoy. Mathis and Freeney are both in the 100 sack club. I take Brady any day of the week! Given that the stats are even close is a miracle if you ask me. Manning had the better skill position players, he's the least sacked qb of all time and had the advantage of playing indoors. We all know about his struggles outdoors. He has to play outdoors a lot more if he's in New England.

I don't know he struck out twice with Losman and Bledsoe. Maybe he gets it right with the qb eventually. Also his winning% was below 40. You have to work at it pretty hard to be that bad.

What people seem to forget about Indy's defense is that they played indoors and on carpet two disadvantages to defenses. Also the Colts never played ball control type offense something else that helps the defense.

Anyone complaining about the officiating hasn't seen Denver play the last couple of seasons. There games make WWE look respectable. There receivers get away with offensive pass interference just about every pass play. Then there was this play against SD. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/broncos-chargers-fumble-replay-mike-carey-overturn-thursday-night

I remember thinking he was a pretty safe pick based on how good his brother is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Kalil.

I wonder if the crew from yesterday has done any Denver games. If that was offensive pass interference against Watkins I don't know what I would call what Denver's receivers get away with. It kills me because San Diego and NE got called for pick plays against Denver in the playoffs last year, but I don't recall any against Dnver.

People have been talking about stopping the run! I agree 100%. Time for Kyle (If he plays) and Dareus to earn their money. This game still gives me bad memories: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=320930002

Plays like this are why Brady will always be superior to Manning imo: http://www.csnne.com/blog/patriots-talk/raiders-rogers-goes-easy-brady-blocker . Manning has always been too much of coward to do stuff like this. I still remember that game in Atlanta during his 1st season with Denver when he slid in the pocket.

Love it! Can't count on Peyton when the chips are down! How many other qbs have played with 2 players from this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_players_with_100_career_sacks ?

Good Luck! I love Boston Pizza! If I didn`t live so far away I would check out the BP in St. Catherines.

LOL. LOL. I sometimes think where would the Bills be if they didn`t put so many of their assets into rbs and cbs. Did Shawn Bryson ever tear it up in the pre season.

Seems like a lot of rbs. I can`t believe Ken Simonton was left off the list.

Another Canadian here and I hate the idea of the Bills in Toronto!

I was about to say Tasker. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Bills have Jerry Glanville to thank for that. What an idiot!

This one really bothers me: http://www.pro-footb...00012030buf.htm . I think I remember Wade giving a pathetic interview at the half using injuries as an excuse. Injuries are never an excuse. They happen to every team. Showed me he didn't have the attitude to be a HC. Would you ever see Parcells blaming injuries. Oh yeah getting picked apart by Jay Fiedler drove me nuts too. What a pathetic excuse he was for an NFL QB.

Not going to lie. IU hated the pick at the time.I don't think he's quick enough. I see Chadler Jones, Cameron Wake and Muhammed Wilkerson dominating him. They will be to athletic for him. I hope I'm wrong, but I think this guy makes Mike Williams look highly athletics. Williams did 29 reps of 225 to Koundjioa's 21. Mike Williams was 5.3 in the forty and Kounandjyio was 5.6 I hope he truns out to be a good player, but when you're not as athletic As Mike Willimas it's not a good sign.

When you have back like Emmitt Smith you feed him the ball!

I think this whole ss/fs difference can be thrown out the window. Used to be the strong safety was your guy who was tough against the run so-so in covergae. The FS was the center fielder great in coverage so-so against the run. The way offenses can use motion now safeties really have to be able to do both. I remember when safeties were an after thought. In today's NFL they are quite valuable!

Oh yeah! I forgot too that Rob Johnson looked like a decent qb if you went by QB rating. Career QB rating of 83.6 85.5 while in Buffalo. Troy Aikman wqas 81.6 for his career. Troy Aikman is a great example of why I don't think stats tell the full story of how good a qb is. He never threw for more than 23 td passes in a season, but I don't know anyone who would say he's not great.

Just curious as to how valuable people consider QB ratings to be? I got into a debate about quarterbacks with a Giants fan once. He basically said it's a sucker bet. He used Eli as an example. Had a rating of of 69.4 last season, but is considered a good qb. I also know about the obvious flaw where QBs have an incentive to take sacks as opposed to throwing the ball away. A sack doesn't hurt the rating, but an incomplete pass would. An incomplete pass doesn't move the team back whereas a sack does. Anyway just looking for some insight. Thanks.

Yes! forgot about Foles! Actually had a higher qb rating than Manning last season, nut I have to agree with the people who say Aaron Rodgers! Football I always believed is more about avoiding negative plays than it is making big ones. Rodgers are at the top of one statistic I don't think gets talked about enough: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_int_perc_career.htm

Do all players count against salary cap right now? I thought it was only your top 55 or somewhere around there. Either way once the season starts the roster size will go down quite abit.

Buffalo Bills Jamie Nails or Miami Dolphins Jamie Nails? I believe he had a decent season or two in Miami. http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/02/writers-senior-bowl-hurt-stock-of-baylor-guard-cyril-richardson-lache-seastrunk-underperformed-on-40-time.html/

How about former GMs rule. That's what Casserly and Ted Sundquist say when I've seen them on NFLN. Not sure who I would have picked here McCarron maybe. I already said i would take Jace Amaro with the 2nd round pick and Tre Mason with the third.
