Both Fox and the Broncos play down their reunion

“I think anytime you put the weight of the world on yourself saying, ‘I have to perform, ‘ or, ‘I have to get a completion”.

It’s partly Manning’s fault that the 1985 Bears still maintain such a tight hold on hearts and microphones all over Chicago.

Odds are, the Broncos’ Brock Osweiler won’t be the next transcendent player when he makes his first start Sunday at Soldier Field.

Instead of making his 265th regular-season start Sunday, Manning will be in street clothes for the first time in his career, other than the season he missed following neck fusion surgery.

Truth be told, that group should include the Bears.

The ripples of Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs have been far reaching; leaving Broncos fans searching for answers. Lets be real, they’ve gotten to this point with Peyton Manning playing like one of the worst quarterbacks across the league. Father Time remains the NFL’s career leader in sacks.

Fangio was defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots’ opponent that week, and had a painfully good vantage point from which to witness Brady’s Patriots trample his Indianapolis defense in a 44-13 rout. They’re planning on starting quarterback Tony Romo when they face the Miami Dolphins during Week 11. One of his best friends at there was teammate Jack Elway, the son of Broncos executive John, who knows something about quarterbacks.

When it comes to catching Osweiler’s passes, Demaryius Thomas says there’s only a slight difference from Manning’s.

“You’ll see an athletic guy with a big arm, probably pretty similar to Joe Flacco if you’re trying to draw a comparison”. Brock will start his first game as quarterback of the Broncos Sunday in Chicago. “And you know how that turned out”.

Um, yes we do, Coach. Michael Floyd had two TD receptions and Larry Fitzgerald finished with 10 catches for 130 yards.Kubiak acknowledged after the game that he made a mistake by not sitting Manning after sore ribs were added to the foot and shoulder issues.

Fangio was on the 49ers’ side when the Bears treated Kaepernick like Steve Young reborn.

The unknown became unstoppable as Kaepernick threw for two touchdowns and 243 yards in a 32-7 thrashing. This week he laid the proverbial egg as the Titans managed to run just 46 plays, allowing Mariota to total just 185 yards passing, 24 yards rushing, 0 TDs, and 1 INT. While I will give his supporters the fact that he had little chance given the uneven nature of the game, I would also say that rookie QBs shouldn’t be starting for fantasy teams because they rarely succeed in their first year in the NFL. The Bears got Kaepernicked. There are going to be a lot of people running to the waiver wire to grab Miller on Tuesday, just make sure you are NOT one of them.

With even a mediocre offense, Denver can get to and win a Super Bowl. That means the Bears need another big game from linebacker Shea McClellin, whom Fangio called “a stud”.

Once Osweiler is forced to throw, the Bears secondary can continue improvement that has been overstated. “If he’s healthy and ready to go, he’s our quarterback”. Without Peyton Manning changing things up every two seconds at the line, and with an inexperienced quarterback, it could be easier for Davis to find a role in the offense that he obviously doesn’t know well yet.

Especially with Osweiler replacing Manning, hard as that is to fathom.

“I’m the starter for this week at Chicago, but that’s all it is”, Osweiler said.
