's first contest that counted in coach Gary Kubiak offense did not go swimmingly. Last time the kicked off the season against the , Manning put on Shilique Calhoun Jersey a historic performance, throwing seven touchdowns. Sunday, he threw zero and gained only 175 pa sing yards on 40 attempts. After the , Manning dismi sed any concerns moving forward. ( to NFL Media columnist Michael Silver). "Everybody is looking for these summaries of our offense and our team after Week 1 and I just don't think we're going to be able to do that," Izaiah Gathings Jersey he said. "It's Week 1. We're a work in progre s. If you need a catchy headline for your little article or whatever it is you might be doing, we're trying to get better every single week. What's another clich I can think of? We're chipping away. Something along those lines." If Manning is frazzled enough to get slightly testy with reporters after the game, imagine how the workaholic is battling himself internally. Manning's arm strength and velocity again looked diminished. When Baltimore defensive backs played tight, bump coverage in the second half, the quarterback couldn't find the zip to squeeze pa ses into tiny windows. His deep ball Kendall Blanton Jersey was also off target on the few attempts to unfurl it. The ' offense has a lot of improving to do, but Manning wanted to focus on the W. "Sure, we Khalen Saunders Jersey 're excited about the win," he said. "Great win. Beat Baltimore at home in Week 1 against a team that we just know is going to be in the postseason. They always are. They're always a contender. It's a tough team. You beat them at home. Like I said, the one thing that no matter how many times you ask it, this is not three different teams we have here. We don't have a offensive team, a defensive tea and a special teams. That's how you have to ask the question, right? But the beat the today. There's your summary right there." It's also a summary of how we need to view the 2015 . Peyton will figure it out. He always does. But this won't be your high-flying, record-setting offense of the Derrick Thomas Jersey past. The will win with one of the best NFL defenses and a capable offense.
