The playoffs feature a number of QB's with Super Bowl rings.
Tom Brady (4)
Ben Roethlisberger (2)
Peyton Manning (1)
Russell Wilson (1)
Aaron Rogers (1)
Also; Brady, Roethlisberger, Manning, and Wilson have a combined 5 Super Bowl loses to go with their combined 8 Super Bowl wins.
So, they have a lot of experience. Therefore, other than Mr. One-And-Done (Peyton Manning), I'll be surprised if the others do a "one-and-done"
BTW:
Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rogers combined, have less "one-and-done's" than Peyton Manning.
10 years ago, the Steelers played the Seahawks in Super Bowl XL
Today, not one member of that 2005 Seahawks' team is on the Seahawks' roster.
The Steelers still have 4 players from that 2005 Super Bowl winning team on their roster today:
1) Ben Roethlisberger
2) Heath Miller
3) James Harrison
4) Greg Warren
Since then, both teams have played in two more Super Bowls, both going 1-1
Today, both the Seahawks and Steelers are the #6 seeds in their conferences.

If one and done was a drink you'd be an alcoholic...and about as rational on the point.

The first one was funny.
Glavine, Smoltz, Maddux. Three hall of fame pitchers on the same team.
One ring.
Teams win rings. Players do their job.

For those first three early in his career he was no where near the player he is now. He was just above mediocre. I am not sure he still has a chip on his shoulder regarding getting caught cheating. Right now I favor Ben and Brown over Brady and Gronk. And I am not sure either can get it done in Denver regardless of QB. I am not suggesting a spanking like the Pats took in Denver 2 seasons ago. The Pats are playing much better now. But I think I favor Denver over both. It should be good either way.

And, he only dated B level models back then.
'04 he was starting to hit his stride, but '07 was the first time anyone saw what he was really capable of. Having the best pure wide receiver and best slot receiver in the game certainly helped things.
Potential scandal? There's nothing there. A retracted claim and no other evidence. There's no reason to give a fellow credibility who has already destroyed it absent more.
Sure there is. But it seems apparent the league has zero interest in investigating this in any way, shape, or form.

I don't care if the guy used HGH or not, but it's against the rules. Right? But since it's Peyton, all the league needs to hear is a "nope, not me, boys," and that's the end of it. I don't care if the man used. I do care about the double standard.
I live in Denver and I really have no idea what to think. The Broncos could come out and dominate like they did against the Packers or they could tank like they did against the Chiefs. I don't really have a gut-feel for how this is going to go.
Sounds like an embarrassed news source covering its hindquarters. They thought their first source was credible.
How'd that work out?
:idunno: I don't know what they did or didn't do behind the scenes or are or aren't doing or why. Maybe the embarrassment they've suffered with Brady is making them shy of digging in.
I do. If he did and anything comes up that proves it he should suffer the consequences and embarrassment that come with it. I might be sympathetic to a guy late in his career, looking to sustain his career, but it wouldn't change the result.
Exactly, which is why I said, in my first response, if it's proven then nail him to a wall for it like you would the next guy.
Well, more than that. They heard the guy who made the accusation recant publicly and no one else has stepped forward to make it.
I don't think there is one. I think with Brady it's a very different set of circumstances with the league believing it had evidence in hand that violated the rules and reasonably indicated Brady. That coupled with the teams recent track record made suspicion more reasonable than it would be in a case where there's A) no smoking gun in hand and B) no credible testimony in support.
The Broncos announced today that Peyton Manning will start, and be their QB in the playoffs.
That's good news and bad news for Bronco fans.
On one hand you have one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game, and on the other hand you have the QB who has more than twice as many (plus one) "one-and-done's" than any other QB.
To date, Peyton has two "one-and-done's" as a Bronco, in just three years.
I'm just hoping it's my Steelers who play your Broncos.
Good news if he's healthy enough to plant. Bad news if that changes.
Sweet mother McGee you're married to that one.
lain: Seriously, you should just put it in your signature or make it a motto. You have no idea how much I agree with that one.

Well....if the Bengals win, Denver gets the KC/Houston winner.
If I were a Bronco's fan, I guess I would hope for Houston over Pitt and KC.
But then again, Pittsburgh's defense is terrible compared to KC's and Houston's.
So, maybe Bronco's fans are hoping for Pittsburgh?
Where are all the Bronco's fans to let us know who they want the Broncos to play in the Divisional Round? Pitt, KC, or Houston?
