Yes - Indy lost last night!!!

I was getting a little nervous last night when Indy was up 7 to 6 at halftime. I got up this morning and found out that in fact Tennessee was able to take care of business after all. I'm still in this thing and I didn't have to use one of the 3 or 4 really bad teams in the league.

We had two previous posts on this DABBER, he may have made his pick during week 7.We had a little lull before week 8.I don't know but I am sure he feels bad enough.

Lilred was in the right spot. I removed the post that he was replying to (sorry Lilred).

I didn't want to start up the conversation about bye week selections again!

Yep, you're right. Manning threw a touchdown right after halftime, but they couldn't get much going after that.

I'm going with a less risky pick this week. There are some bad teams playing on the road this week.

No problemo Lilred. I agreed with you on that topic, I just figured we addressed it in two other threads so I didn't want to start up a third!

Manning is just back to being the mediocre QB he was always in the past....

I don't know about that. Who would you rather have at QB right now?
I think he's easily in the top 5.

Well, Manning is out of timing this season with lots of incomplete passes, several picks, spending too much time in the pocket, and starring at his receivers long enough for any defense to be able guess where the pass will go and to break the passing play.

Now, if this still qualifies as "Top 5 QBs" this season, I suggest you take a look at that list again :)

I'm not saying that Sorgi will do good at all, all I say is that Peyton Manning is back to being ol' Peyton "Interception" Manning with a mediocre playing style ;)

I know Manning hasn't been good for the first half of this year.
In general though, if you had to pick a QB to build a team around for the next 5 to 10 years, I think he would be near the top of the list.

Who else has been good year after year in this league?

Brady
Brees
Rivers
Rothlisberger
McNabb

Maybe Cutler will be good and Eli Manning has had 1.5 good years right now.

I think that's about it. Rest of the QBs are either mediocre or just plain bad.

I consider Phillip Rivers a much better candidate if you were to "build a team for next 5-10 years" as Manning wont last that long and will only continue to get worse!
