Broncos’ backup Osweiler to start again in place of Manning
And the latest reports that Manning is suffering from a tear in the plantar fascia of his left foot do little to quell concerns of his durability. Manning reportedly believes his struggles are related to the new offensive system under head coach Gary Kubiak, and it is not impossible to believe Manning could be somewhere else next season running his own offense.
Don’t write Peyton Manning off yet. Now we have to make the leap.
Kubiak announced that Osweiler will start in Sunday night’s game against the New England Patriots. Kubiak would not comment if the injury was enough to keep Manning off the field for the rest of the year, stating the team is taking things game by game. “This is going to be really hard to get a win, ‘” Slauson said. Anderson. “He’s always been a part of our team and he got an opportunity to show the world, show you guys what he can do – what we’ve always seen in him”. “Just not yet”, another said.
And at that point I would simply return my attention to my species’ primary form of nourishment – beer, and continue to prepare for hibernating through the last month of this football season. And maybe, if Manning’s body magically stops betraying him and he gets this last chance, it will be painful once again watching an ugly duckling we choose to remember as a attractive swan. He completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 250 yards and two touchdowns, leading his team to a 17-15 victory.
The Broncos are in first place in the AFC West with an 8-2 record.
In his first drive as a starter, Osweiler accomplished something Manning couldn’t pull off this season. He did miss all of 2011 after spinal fusion surgery before joining the Broncos as a free agent following his release from Indianapolis. Slauson said he wasn’t sure, and the Bears won’t have much time to address the issue with a short week. Four Super Bowl rings for Brady put him in rarified air and in the discussion for the greatest of all time. We had a good long conversation. “That’s all he talks to me about”, Kubiak said. CBS Sports has already reported that two teams are interested in hiring Peyton as a lead executive, so they might be able to entice the former Tennessee University star to play a season as quarterback before transitioning into the front office.
“He’s happy for his team that we won a big game [Sunday]”. Going through stuff like this is aggravating for anybody, but his frame of mind is as good as it can be.
“The great thing about Brock is he’s been practicing with us”. With that said, I have one basic question for you; what do you freakin’ think you’re doing? “But it was encouraging, I think, for a first start in this league”.
