Beginning of the end of the NFL - The Pick Play

[steve_minor]

Forget the outcome of tonight's game. If the Chiefs won, I would still have the same feelings about what I saw tonight.

I saw the article talking about Denver's pick plays this week. They are essentially money plays. Need a first down pick play. Tonight reminded me of playing Madden football and how there are things that are almost impossible to stop. Manning excels in this because he is such an accurate passer.

If more and more teams start doing this and the NFL doesn't stop it. Then the NFL will lose my interest just like the NBA has.

Go ahead and call me a soar loser now

Of course, Manning throws a perfect strike to one of them. It wasn't a huge gainer, but was effective and very well timed. I must say, that was a pretty sweet play.

Yeah, you've gotta give them credit for that one. Solid play.

Tell me how you feel about the Broncos o-line wearing vaseline on their arms for the 1997 playoff win at Camarohead.

If we go get a star QB (LOL, like they'd agree to play here at this point!!), then we might get some of the same treatment as the Mannings and Brady's of the world.

Just think, he could be OUR golden boy of Pioli didn't have such a train wreck going on here that Manning didn't even consider the Chiefs.

FU Pioli.
