What does a brady look like?
Can u seriously blame that fumble on tebow, they blew past franklin in less than 1 second. His blind side … come on. Sure the guy didn’t save the day but he didn’t have much of a chance out there
Im sorry but this is the the only one of tebow’s losses that i wont really put on him. He had nowhere to throw.
yeah cant wait to follow them in the off season. Were blue but we bleed orange
what was up with that crap?
trb, it looked like tebow didnt even see him thats how fast it was
WTF?
Von miller bd move… dunno if something was said but he is usually so level headed
Ty–I noticed that too.
yeah it was wiped off the market
this is embaressing
U can’t get more of a team loss than this one. Epic fail across the board
Were blue but we blead orange. GO BRONCOS. ALWAYS
Call me cheap, but I like the cheap shot by Miller. That’s how I feel right now.
Yeah think he got deleted
Or maybe they are just that good. I was truly humbled tonight
agreed TRB… Can’t blaim anyone when your team is overwhelmed… New England was better today…
3rd i couldnt agree more lol, good to see some fire
Lmao @ 3rd gen. Man …lost 100 bucks on this game.
see everyone in the off season.
Nice comment, Jim Nance, about Tebow!
One More PASS!!! ONE MORE PASS!!!! lol
I wqsnt really counting on our d … more so on their sucky d. We had to hang in there … we didnt
There we go
Good Season all…
Good Game NE… ONE LOVE IN BRONCO COUNTRY B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
Well, that was depressing. But I still believe in this team…and in Tebow.
GO BRONCOS!!
There’s a LOT of work needing to be done this next season. We won’t be a knockout of the division, we’ll finish first or strong second with a heading into a playoff berth yet again.
Tough loss, but we were outplayed. What an awesome season Broncos! Great fans – great heart! We have a lot we can build on! GO BRONCOS!
I hated to see it end this way but it was a fun season. Last week’s win was awesome. I must have replayed that OT touchdown 30 times over the last week with my stereo system maxed out just to get a feeling of how the crowd noise sounded and wondered what is was like to be there. I loved reading some of your descriptions from those who were.
We got our tuckus kicked. Im mr optimism but even I can’t spin this game. Truly humbled, saw some pass interference from gronk and branch but that wasn’t the 35 point difference lol. We got do owned lol. Go broncos
Wow Denver…….your team sucks. Go Pats!
Go Pats………Bronc’s wow your team is really bad!!
Be prepared, Broncos Country. Here they come!
I personally believe this team will either be first or last next year in our division based on if we make the necessary improvements. If we don’t we will get left behind. I just don’t understand how hard it was to stick with them tight ends allgame. Alot of soft zone against brady. And who woulda thunk it, without quinton carter and bruton this spiraled out of cntrol even faster
Outcoached, outplayed and outhustled. They came out on fire and wanted to take us out early and they did just that.
Bummed right now ,but I want to thank the Broncos for the most exciting non Superbowl season I’ve had in my 25 yrs of watching Bronco football! . We have a lot of work to do in the off-season
Go TT…….next year were gonna be soooo good! Really……..ahhh NO!!!!
What is it with ne fans coming on this site after a game your team played lights out go celebrate with your fellow fans the pats are winners but their fans are losers
Well they asked what Josh would do for them. I swear I seen him with binoculars looking at our bench. Brady didn’t shake hands with Tim. HE did shake hands with McCoy though. McCoy and Fox were arguing all game. Something smells fishy to me. McCoy was tryna get Brady in the game. Tim said he wanted to stay in. I wish ya’ll could see what I was seeing!!!! I’m cold and wet for no #$%@ reason!!! lmao
Broncos came out with a terrible game plan. As far as I am concerned McCoy is right back on the chopping block. Trying the exact same stuff that didn’t work in the first game.
Tell you what. Instead of having an OC we will just have a dart board with various plays on it …
Honestly that would probably be a better game plan.
They couldn’t get any protection for Tebow, and they couldn’t get any pressure on brady.
We didn’t even show up.
So ugly. So sad.
Two Players played really well for us. Prater and Colquitt. The rest … not so much.
lol If 30 yard puts are good?? I wanna see a great punter then!!!
punts* not puts
“I wish ya’ll could see what I was seeing!!!!”
Tell us more. What else were you seeing ?
I will start in on the bright side Tomorrow. But i think I will just wallow in misery tonight.
That was some real inovative play calling lol! Did they even get to page 2 of the play book???
run-run-run-run-run, way to get the pats out of the box, thats sad!
That was not very watchable … from the outset, our D couldn’t put pressure on Brady, and it was “game over” … too bad … in reality, the Broncos really over-achieved this year … they’re deficient in a lot of areas, and to go into this game w/ rookie or 2nd year players at a lot of positions, is asking too much … plus – the Patriots had a quarterback who knew exactly what he was doing, and the Broncos had one who didn’t have a clue … hopefully, that will change … no one will work harder than Tebow to improve … this time he’ll have (hopefully) continuity in coaching, and an off-season and training camp to work on things … I don’t know what it will take for him to learn to throw a pass that doesn’t flutter – hopefully somebody can teach him that … there was a lot tonight that wasn’t his fault, but in the end he’s just not ready to take a team this far … yet … as I said before – HOPEFULLY … now we have a better idea what the team needs, and can go after some of it in the draft … we sure do need some bigger, more talented studs on the DL … we all knew that, and in reality we survived pretty well this year without it, but in the end this is the playoffs, and you’ve got to have those kind of players or it’s all over … the Broncos gave us a lot of thrills this year, a lot to be excited over, and really made it farther than any level-headed fan could have hoped … not it’s up to EFX to do the work for the future … I believe the Broncos do have a bright future … but, as Elway said a long time ago – it’ll take, probably, four years … so – be patient, Bronco fans …
Ya’ll probably seen on TV when Tim couldn’t get the call early. When Tim was screaming for a play. McCoy waived him off. That’s when McGahee pulled him back in the huddle! John called time out and was arguing with McCoy asking him” What are you doing?”
Only good thing is Von get to take his cast off
McCoy wasn’t even sitting with Tim like we have seen all year. Adam Gase was sitting with him. McCoy was acting like Josh used to. Just on the sideline by his self!!!
