m really happy I had a strong comeback

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Heres one that wont come as a surprise: Peyton Manning writes down his New Years resolutions on index cards. "My dad, since I was a kid, hes been telling us, Write them down," Manning said. Though he refused to divulge whats on those cards, or what his lifetime success rate has been with those resolutions, he hasnt left much doubt about what his day-to-day goals on the football field were for 2012, the year of his comeback. Work hard. Improve. Keep building chemistry. Those are the only ways to get to the ultimate goal -- winning the Super Bowl, which is something Manning and the Denver Broncos are now favoured to do. Yet to hear Manning tell it, even if the Broncos do win it all, there will still be room for improvement -- quite a tall task for a quarterback who compiled some of the best numbers of his career and a team that finished tied for the leagues best record at 13-3. "Im not sure you can do it all in one season," Manning said Wednesday, after the Broncos, the AFCs top-seeded team, practiced for the first time during their bye week. "I think weve done a good job of being the best that we possibly can in this short period of time." What began as a season of mystery for Manning -- How would his body react after missing more than a year with the neck injury? How would his new teammates respond to him? -- has turned into one of his very best campaigns. He threw 400 completions for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns, completed 68.6 per cent of his passes and finished with a 105.8 passer rating -- all franchise records and ranked second best of the 14 years hes played in the NFL. He is in the mix for his fifth Most Valuable Player award, votes for which are being counted this week. On Wednesday, he received his second AFC offensive player of the week honour this year. It marked the 23rd time hes received that over his career, tied with Tom Brady for most ever. "To be able to come out and participate like hes done, to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league, its unbelievable," receiver Demaryius Thomas said. "He had an injury that not many people come back from." His latest award came on the strength of a 23-for-29, 304-yard, three-touchdown game against Kansas City on Sunday. The highlights were his touchdowns to Eric Decker and Thomas, who stretched out (in Deckers case) or up (in Thomas case) to make one-handed grabs on balls Manning put in places where only they, and not the defensive backs covering them, could catch them. Were they passes he wouldve thrown to those receivers in Week 1? "Probably would have thrown them earlier, not sure if we wouldve completed them," Manning said. "Its hard to say. But theres no question, it would be just downright disappointing if we had not improved throughout the season." Manning, however, doesnt judge improvement simply on completions or any other numbers on the stat sheet. Its a much more intangible thing to him. Take the touchdowns against Kansas City. Manning said neither he nor the receivers had seen the kind of coverage the Chiefs were in on those plays until Sunday, the last week of the NFL season. The next time they see it, though, theyll have a readymade reference point. "So if you play together long enough, then you can say, Hey, remember Kansas City in 2012? Remember that? Oh, yeah," Manning said. "Im not going to have that much eligibility to be able to refer back too long, but those guys certainly will. Its been kind of like cramming for a test and I think both of those guys have put in the time to cram and weve really worked hard in the short time weve had together." In fact, its the chemistry hes built with Thomas, Decker and the rest of the receivers that Manning lists as one of his most pleasant surprises this season. "The rapport with the receivers has come probably quicker than I thought," he said. "I really didnt know on some of the timing routes, some of the adjustments and things." Its not to say flaws dont exist, but "I dont think it makes any sense to reveal those things with a game coming up." Indeed, its now time to make the best of the hand theyve got. In Denvers case, its a pretty good hand. "There are still things that I wish would be better and I think you kind of have to pick and choose your battles," Manning said. "Its, Hey, weve only had 16 games together, were not going to be able to fix that. But lets try to get really good at this. Lets be as good as we can at that. Some things just take time."

Though he wasnt required to give an injury report, Broncos coach John Fox said KR Trindon Holliday (ankle) was making progress. "I think Trindon will be able to go next Saturday," Fox said. ... The Broncos are 0-1 vs. Baltimore in the post-season and 0-2 vs. Indianapolis, though both those games came when Manning was with the Colts. The Broncos and Bengals have never met in the playoffs.

Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany won her second downhill in as many days with Saturdays victory at the Alberta resort. The 29-year-old from Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a contender to win Sundays super-G, although downhill is more her strength. "Im not as strong in super-G as I am in downhill, but the two races gave me lots of confidence," Hoefl-Riesch said. Vonn won all three races at Lake Louise in 2011 and 2012 and owns a record 14 victories at the venue. The U.S. ski star finished 11th Saturday, but felt she took a step forward from Fridays downhill when she finished 40th. Prior to her arrival, Vonn hadnt raced since crashing and suffering a severe right knee injury at the world championship in February. "I was more aggressive and just more confident and comfortable," the Olympic womens downhill champion said. "My whole body language was different. I still made mistakes and it wasnt my best skiing, but its a long ways from where I was yesterday." Hoefl-Rieschs time of one minute 55.09 seconds was over a second faster than in her first win. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was second in 1:55.43 and Austrias Anna Fenninger third in 1:55.56. Larisa Yurkiw of Owen Sound, Ont., was 26th after a career-best seventh in the first downhill Friday. "I think because I had such a rocking day yesterday, I was almost a little bit depleted," Yurkiw said. "I wanted it pretty bad and I had intensity in places I didnt necessarily need it. "Anyone would want to repeat a performance like yesterday in front of a home crowd. Im still really pleased with the way the momentum is going." Conditions were clear and sunny, but bitterly cold for a second straight day with a temperature of minus-28. FIS, the world governing body of skiing, doesnt set a minimum temperature for races. The decision rests with the race jury made up of the a FIS delegate, race referee and assistant referee and chief of race. The women wore masks or covered exposed parts of their faces with brightly coloured tape to protect themselves from frostbite as they rocketed down the mountain. Five of Hoefl-Rieschs 26 career wins have come at Lake Louise. She took both downhills in 2010 with Vonn finishinng second.dddddddddddd But Vonn beat Hoefl-Riesch in the super-G that year to kick off a run of seven straight wins. The women dont get training runs for super-G, which is shorter than downhill but has more turns. They get a single course inspection the morning of the race. "I will try to inspect very well and I hope my coaches will tell me a really good line," Hoefl-Riesch said. "Super-G is always a big challenge to be fast because sometimes you cant really know how fast you get to the rolls and turns. "Thats the art of super-G, to make a very good first run and I will try this tomorrow." The six-foot-two German felt short on speed training heading into the World Cup season. She concentrated more on slalom and giant slalom in preparation for World Cups in Soelden, Austria and Levi, Finland. Hoefl-Riesch is the reigning Olympic champion in slalom. She finished seventh in downhill and eighth in super-G in Beaver Creek, Colo., last week. "With less downhill and super-G training, I was having some troubles there," Hoefl-Riesch said. "Thats why I love Lake Louise. I think its a perfect downhill to begin the season especially when you dont have the chance for so much training. "Im really happy I had a strong comeback here with two wins." Weirather was disqualified from fifth place Friday for wearing a plastic arm protector on the outside of her suit, instead of on the inside. "I had a really bad day yesterday," Weirather said. "I was skiing well and then I got disqualified so I had some anger in myself. I tried to take it into the start house and put it into my skiing today and it worked really well." Vonn tore two ligaments in her knee and broke a bone in her lower leg at the world championships. Her comeback was on track until she partially tore a reconstructed ligament while training in Colorado last month. The 29-year-old needs surgery again, but wants to postpone it until after the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Lake Louise is a first test of how a knee that is not completely healthy will stand up to racing this winter. Vonn wasnt sure how many World Cups shell compete in this season. "My focus is Sochi and however I can come into the those Olympics the most prepared is what Im going to do," Vonn said. "Im trying to save my knee as best I can." cheap nfl jerseys Cheap nhl Jerseys ' ' '
