ENGLEWD, Colo. - As Peyton Manning considers whether to take the gold watch or make one more run at the silver trophy, there are many factors hes weighing: age, desire, vitality, security, relationships.General manager John Elway said the bottom line is we want him back. So, he asked Manning not to make up his mind until next month after hes had time to process everything.Back in September, Manning said he liked Tom Bradys When I suck, Ill retire quote.Thats a pretty gd rule, Manning said on the eve of a season that was filled with fun (planning his own prank after breaking Brett Favres touchdown record) and frustration (another first-round flop in the playoffs after a nagging thigh injury).Hes surely pondering whether an 18th NFL season would lk more like the first half of 2014, when a sixth MVP award seemed to await, or the second half, when he struggled to find rhythm and receivers alike.If he decides to come back, hell give everything he has because thats the kind of competitor he is and the love he has for this game, teammate Julius Thomas said Monday while promoting the release of the Havoc DLC pack for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.And if he decides his time of running around and getting chased by big guys is over, hell have so much to show for it.Although the sting of that last loss — 24-13 to the Colts — is sure to linger, NFL Network analyst and Hall of Fame finalist Terrell Davis said hes sure Manning is lking a lot deeper.My gut tells me that he comes back, Davis said. But if he comes back just because he didnt want to go out like this, I dont know if thats the right reason. You come back because you love the game, you want to compete, you enjoy working out, you enjoy going to practice.Manning has a lot of things to think about as he ponders his future:NEW FACES: Adam Gase and Manning were the perfect pair in Denver. Two mad scientists who liked to flr the high-octane offence. Now, Gase is in Chicago with John Fox, and Gary Kubiak is the Broncos coach and Rick Dennison his top offensive assistant.Although Kubiaks West Coast offence doesnt at first glance seem to jibe with Mannings improvisational style, Kubiak said its easy to build a playbk for him.Kubiak found it odd discussing the future of a player whos coming off a season in which he threw 39 TD passes.Lk what he continues to do. The offence Peyton runs, hes tremendous at it, back there in the gun controlling the game, controlling the line of scrimmage. Nobody has ever done it better and hes the master at it, Kubiak said. Actually, Im lking forward to learning that style and that system that he has.Manning has successfully adjusted before. The last two times he had a new head coach, he went 14-2 and 13-3.BETTER PROTECTION: Manning paid a big price for Denvers trouble-filled offensive line, and Elway said hell fix it this off-season like he did the defence a year ago.Two starters — centre Will Montgomery and left guard Orlando Franklin — are among Denvers dozen unrestricted free agents. The other starters: Ryan Clady, Louis Vasquez and Manny Ramirez will be trying to recapture their old form after substandard seasons.AGE OR INJURY: Was that fizzling finish an omen or an aberration? Even if Manning determines it was health, not age, to blame, he has to decide if hes willing to put his body and mind through the grind of another season.I could see Peyton going both ways, Davis said. Theres no guarantee that if Peyton comes back hes going to be in any better situation. I think any quarterback or any player would love to walk out on top, thats the ideal way to walk out of this game. But the reality is thats not how most of us leave this game.And so, thats really the question that only Peyton can answer: How does he feel right now? And not right now, give him about a month or so and get away from this stuff, detox and heal up, and then start to miss the game, start getting that fire back in his belly.Notes: Kubiaks staff is taking shape. Agreeing to terms Monday were Dennison and TE coach Reggie Herring. Clancy Barone moves from TEs to coaching the O-line.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Tony Watson Jersey .

Gervinho provided the cross for Adem Ljajics goal in the 45th minute then scored himself on the hour mark after Iceland international Emil Hallfredsson had equalized in the 49th. Romas 37-year-old captain Francesco Totti added a penalty in the 82nd. "Winning 3-1 away against a Verona squad that is having a solid season is a gd result," Roma coach Rudi Garcia said. "Especially after the draws by Juve and Napoli." Gianluigi Buffon was sent off and Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw at Lazio on Saturday, ending the two-time defending champions 12-match winning streak. Also on Saturday, Napoli drew 1-1 at home with Chievo Verona. Elsewhere Sunday, AC Milan came back with two late goals for a 2-1 win at Cagliari and Inter Milan was whistled off the San Siro pitch after being held to a 0-0 draw by Catania.dddddddddddd Inter remained fifth. Milan, which recently replaced Massimiliano Allegri with Clarence Seedorf as manager, moved up to a tie for ninth with Lazio. After Marco Sau had put Cagliari ahead in the 28th, Mario Balotelli equalized with a free kick in the 87th and substitute Giampaolo Pazzini scored the winner with a header in the 89th. "This was a very important goal for me and for the squad," said Pazzini, who has been slowed by injuries for most of the last year. "We are a squad that can do much better. Seedorf is definitely someone with a lot of experience and charisma and he transmits a lot of serenity." In the late match, Alberto Aquilani scored a hat trick for fourth-place Fiorentina in a 3-3 draw with Genoa. Alberto Gilardino, Luca Antonini and Sebastian De Maio got the goals for Genoa. In other matches, it was: Livorno 3, Sassuolo 1; Parma 1, Udinese 0; Sampdoria 1, Bologna 1; and Torino 1, Atalanta 0. ' ' '
