Peyton Manning looks all too human in loss to Bengals

has been so good for so long that he only seems interesting when he looks human. And he has looked very human for the last month.Monday night's on Monday Night Football will be the inspiration for Vince Carter Jersey a lot of bloviating over the next few weeks. His arm strength and football mortality will provide hot takes for days. And it's all fair fodder for a offense that is not quite right.Here's what we know: Denver's pa sing game has not been the same since losing in New England in . Since joining the in 2012, Manning has had a quarterback rating under 90 only nine times in 47 tries. Five of those games have come in the last eight weeks. It's too simple to say that Manning has "lost it" or simply can't push the ball down the field. His arm is obviously weaker, but he had a few pretty deep throws on Monday, including a to . The week before against San Diego, Manning completed five Fred VanVleet Jersey pa ses that traveled at least 25 yards in the air. The pa sing game has been effective in spurts lately, but it hasn't been the dominant force we're used to seeing. Monday night was a perfect example. For most of the first half, Manning was confused by the defense. He was not on the same page as his receivers and his pa ses fluttered too much. He finished the half with 88 yards, an interception, and zero points Pascal Siakam Jersey by the offense. That's unheard of for Manning in Denver.Manning, who specializes in making dire in-game tweets look stupid, proceeded to pilot three consecutive touchdown drives after halftime to take the lead.

There will be discu sion about whether Manning's was his fault, or whether should have flattened out the route. Would we be having this discu sion if Dalton or made the throw?Manning made a confused pa s while trailing away off his back foot. It was a terrible decision with no juice on it. He has been under pre sure more often lately due to a shaky offensive line, and this was a panicked decision. Malcolm Miller Jersey There can be no arguing that."It was a bad throw," Manning said after the game. "I definitely picked the wrong guy to throw it to."Perhaps the tell us how they view Manning with their recent gameplans. He threw for le s than 250 yards in the previous games because the team was concentrating on the run game. They slowed down their tempo and ran fewer plays. They took some of the control out of Manning's hands. This remains a wildly talented team that could still win the in part because of their excellent defense. But the are still trying to figure out what kind of offense they want, Alex Len Jersey and what version of Manning they have. They are running out of time.
