    Lack of awareness on the part of the blocker is his own fault.

    I don't think he will make a hasty announcement, but decent chance Peyton hangs it up after this loss. He might take his time making it official.

    The coaching staff could be gone too. House cleaning time in Denver.

    I never played football, but how would a blocker on a punt return know how good/bad/or in which direction the punt actually went. How would he even know if his returner called for a fair catch?

    Manning declined so fast..

    Started looking like he was going to win another MVP, now he can barely complete a ball 10 yards down the field

    Manning looks old and washed up, needs to retire

    It might be true. But injuries can also make it look that way. After about 4 games this season, people were saying Tom Brady might be done and reporters asked Belicheck if he was considering a QB change. Things can change quickly both ways.

    How are your questions relevant to our discussion?

    It's the blocker's responsibility not to run into his own guy.

    It is the inconsistance


    I think he KNOWS what he wants to do .. . but the Body is not cooperating

    I think the season grind is too much for him
    Maybe limiting his minutes would help

    Manning is scared to sling it deep because he doesn't want his career to end on an interception.......

    Walden can say he was the last guy to sack Peyton Manning.

    He needs to play in a dome. Maybe he can come to Houston.

    They are relevant and I get your point. But if a gunner needs to give time and enough space for a returner to cleanly catch the ball, then the rule should apply to the blocker in front of him. You shouldn't be able to push him into the returner while he is trying to catch a ball (fair catch or not). Awareness has nothing to do with it.
