Local radio here in Denver area seems to think Peyton sitting out for his "ankle injury" is only part of the story, speculating that the amount of throws he is making this year taking its toll on his residual neck/arm/nerve conditions.
I am not sure if anyone posted this already, but Sally Jenkins wrote a pretty good article about his surgery/rehab.

I'm not sure I buy that there is more to him sitting out than just the ankle injury, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
Hey what better week to get him rest than the week leading up to the out of conference matchup with the lowly Redskins.
I hope we surprise them. Would love some bragging rights around here. They might as well have already won the superbowl the way these Bronco fans are talking (much like last year before they lost to the Ravens). Figured they would have learned their lesson...
