Moore is terrible ! Late on every play , dumb penaties.
denver blows!! they blew that so bad…moore is horrible..but he is young…
peyton manning blew the game trying to get gready in the first half with 3 long ball ints!
Moore , Moreno, Mays all must go.
manning cost us early
lose by six points wtih 5 first half turn overs!! wow!
POOP!!! O’well!! TEXANS NEXT WEEK!!! PUM PUM PUM PEACE!!!
too many turn overs and even more bad calls. Why is lenard our return man? I really miss Mike Nolen.
texans is going to be harder!
Oh No! We Suck Again!!!
One loss to a great team and we suck? Lol ok. Didnt know people gave up after a week 2 loss.
Atlanta secondary knows how to hit
and tackle.
We hung in there. Good team beat us, that’s all to that. Hey AB, Ryan 219 yrds.
Wolfedom didnt expect 4 turnovers giving them the ball on short field. And its not like you knew that would happen so you cant really rub anything in.
Atlanta’s D looked like ours back in
09
some reason my comment that i thought the team played a good second half after such a poorly played first half was deemed innappropiate wonder why
I said 250, you said 432 come on man. man up
Yea I said 400 and was wrong. But its not like you could predict the 4 tos giving them short field. So you cant really rub anything in.
You also said Bailey would shut down Jones…..So you cant really rub anything in even more because you were wrong about something else…
And to add onto that White faced off vs Bailey the most since Bailey stuck to the left and thats where White was most snaps and White had over 100 yards…..SO Bailey failed when facing a good WR which you said is when hes best.
that moreno turn over looked liked we came up with it.
Not sure why I got blocked from the live blog… Anyway, tough loss, but I’m happy with how we fought back and never gave up. No excuses. This is something that we can build off.
Franklin had the ball coming out of the pile and obviously fell on it. Dont see how they gave that to the Falcons.
our d held them in the end. but you cant be down by 20 and expect to win in the 4th. very hard to do. still lots of work to do. keep working on it guys.
Hey, it is only one loss..we will rebound against the Texans. Been a fan for 35 years and ridden the highs and lows of the Orange and Blue, we have a good team this year, 14 games to go in Regular season,cmon people, stay frosty. Lets give the Texans a Mile-high whuppin next week,shall we ?? GO BRONCOS !!!!
Losing isn’t as bad when you see an effort like that. Took a lot of heart to bounce back. Tough schedule, but Peyton will get better and Denver is going to be dangerous as the year goes on. I’m so glad Peyton’s back, he makes every game exciting because you’re never out the game with him as your quarterback. Let’s Go Denver!
Manning cost us the game. I knew we should have never got him. What is wrong with elway depending on no good has been manning? Elway needs to be fired along with blowhard john fox. AAAWWWWW we are going to suck again as always.
This was a very difficult game to watch from many aspects. It is tough, obviously, to go into an environment like that on MNF against a very good team with a crowd the loves their team and run a no-huddle. Manning’s rust showed a little more, but is to be expected. 10-6 may be good enough to win the division and the Broncos will be very tough in their Divisional games as well as all of their home games. In Denver’s SB years Elway had some trouble in these environments (Pittsburgh, SF, KC) in 97 and (NY and MIA) in 98…and those were hands down the best Denver Bronco teams to ever play. We are in for an awesome year and Manning is our guy. Next Sunday is OUR turn to give a better football team fits with Crowd Noise and Energy…just like Atlanta did.
