It seemed to me every time he said 'Omaha', he followed it up with Set, Hike (It went Omaha-Set-Hike). I think the ball was snapped less than a couple of seconds after each time he said the word Omaha during the entire game. I was surprised that the Patriots didn't try to jump the call and take advantage of it. I surely thought Manning would change it up in the 2nd half, but he never did and the Broncos kept using the call the same way throughout.

3rd and 1 at a crucial part of the game. Enjoy kicking your stupid arse for jumping offsides and believing you are "outsmarting" the greatest football mind to ever play the game.

He also used "Blue - Set" a few times.

The snap count was the first sound after Omaha or after Blue, but I wouldn't set my watch by it.

I think he just says it because Omaha is his favorite place to eat corn fed beef.

Did you watch the week before? How many times did San Diego jump offsides?

Ever notice how you are always able to hear the sound for Manning's cadence, but you never hear the opposing QB's calls? Last week they had Manning's calls clear as day, but you couldn't hear Rivers at all. Same this week with Brady.

You can tell the networks are jumping on the "new" infatuation with Manning's calls at the line of scrimmage.

He changes the "meaning" every game, sometimes every possession.
He loves to get the D to guess. He will get Seattle to jump at least 2 times.

From my understanding Omaha means Next sound. So manning gets up to the Line "Blue-42 Check mike check mike, Brady is a bitch brady is a bitch, fh;dfhorhfiaheriuhfrehrehfrrdflha;ferofjhfoihiofaferu;fhirhgfiyrhgfiurhfibeyvchgiuciuhfiuy Blah Blah Blah OMAHA! SET!" And the play is ran

For anyone who may have missed it yesterday, CBS played "Omaha" by Counting Crows going into one of the commercial breaks during the game

They should have replied "Nebraska!"
