    really feel sorry for peyton never has had a defense win a big game for him even this year he will get the blame but the safety should never let a guy get behind him in that situation but the game will be remembered for the int late I the game seen it all too many times feel bad for payton and the bronco fans

  2. BroncoRoyaltyEst.1979 says:

    I think still Elway should be exec of the year, he put together a solid team this year. Obviously we fell short, but us Broncos fans if anything we are resilient.

    -Royalty

  3. BroncoRoyaltyEst.1979 says:

    *still think

  4. tnalen66 says:

    PM has 5 playoff loses where the kicker has missed a FG. If Manning had Belicheck he would have 6 or more rings.

  5. mphassig says:

    chump bailey aka toast. how is he ever voted all-pro? take a knee? play football dammit.

  6. gdingel says:

    John Fox is a conservative coach and people who think he wasn’t talking to McCoy about running on 3rd and 7 instead of letting Manning throw for a first down are ignorant. That was Fox all the way. We let Manning throw there and if we get a first the game is over in regulation. Dumb Call.

    Elway can not be blamed he has done a good job putting good team together. Broncos were out coached in this game and were just playing not to lose.

    Great game Trindon Holliday! Disappointing season with such high expectations.

  7. wolfedom says:

    Just wasn’t our day. Bad defense, bad offense, great special team and the replacement refs called in to do our game. I don’t like the conservative side of our offense and we have to take advantage of the opponent when you get them down. Still, its been a great year abd I will be cheering again as soon as my wounds heal. Let’s get ready for the draft.

  8. wolfedom says:

    abd= and

  9. broncoway says:

    Instead of getting Manning we should have gotten more and better defenceive players. I swear I seen this comming. AAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  10. socalbigbroncofan says:

    Well u can always tell who the true fans are after a loss. Some people just dont get it. R u kidding me easy schedule, tebow could of one, elway no good. Come on. Ravens didnt win we lost it. Thats football. My 11 yr old son took it better than these so called fans and he cried. True fan here in socal wait to next year.

  11. coltdfan18 says:

    brady has a defense that wins games and sb for him pats fan n is a crybaby when he looses cnt stand him or his coach no class when he looses just like his coach been what 8 or ten years now hang in there bronco fans u all have class win or loose remember this was his first year watch out next year

  12. bilfred says:

    I have no problem jumping off the cliff, I will have all those Peyton manning jerseys all you bronco fans threw off the cliff first to pad my fall. GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Social I know. I hate that we lost a game that shouldve been ours. But we played horrible. It happens. And we payed for it. Always next year. We will get better as a team on both sides. Things didnt go our way and it sucks and hurts to see. But I wont turn on our QB Coach Elway or anyone. Every aspect of our team played bad except for Special teams. When that happened 9 times out of 10 your going to lose.

  14. alaskanbronco06 says:

    I dont have a Peyton jersey but even if I did I wouldnt throw it off the cliff. He took our team to a whole new level. At least we were in the divisional game this year unlike last year….

  15. strandoftds82 says:

    Life goes on!

  16. alaskanbronco06 says:

    With that I am done. Sick of dealing with all these “Bronco” fans who jumped ship when Tebow left and came back when we lose to “rub it in” lol

  17. strandoftds82 says:

    The tuck rule doesn’t work for Denver!

  18. john bronco says:

    fireeeeee Fox is a looser

  19. alaskanbronco06 says:

    No Strand it doesnt lol

  20. gdingel says:

    I am a Bronco fan no matter what.

    One thing is for sure I will never be a big enough loser to go on to another teams website to talk trash because I am not a douche bag like belfried.

  21. Broncofanlvnm says:

    Yea, ridiculous that anyone would even think that Tebow would have even have had us in the playoffs, let alone that he could have won this game. Manning is the reason that we won the AFC West and got us the #1 seed. Having a guy like him makes the entire team better. Can’t wait to see what this team will do next year! I’m proud of what this team has accomplished and have even higher hopes for next season. Great season Broncos, tough loss, but I know you will be back even stronger next season.

  22. boxing4life says:

    @Alaska…..was the divisional game where NE beat the hell out of us last year.

    Great season Broncos, tough way to go out with one of the poorest job of officiating I have seen in the playoffs and TBO poor play calling in the 4th quarter. Sorry Hillman is not a between the tackles back and to give him the rock on 3rd and 7 on a smash play was ignorant at best. Looking forward to next year, Fiancee and I are already planning a trip so she can watch her first ever Broncos game live.

  23. socalbigbroncofan says:

    I didnt agree with a lot of our game plan. This one was for the to take. No pressure, bad secondary play, and we didnt throw down the field. Good sp plays. Oh well. Hold ur heads high broncos fans.

  24. CARAMELLOO says:

    Ravens were a tougher team than we were today! The loss sucks but I will wear my Blue and Orange with pride!! The loss sucks even more after the awesome day Holliday had!!

  25. coltdfan18 says:

    ignore the pat fans broncos fans they have always been jealous of peyton do you really think tebow would have won 11 straight nope you all had a great year and after a year under his belt will be awesome next year you all made the right move and will win a sb before he retires hang in there

  26. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yes the divisional game last year was where we had our butts handed to us against the Patriots.

  27. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Amen Caramello!!!!

    Colt fan. Colts will have a great year next year as well. Nice find with Hilton. I wanted him badly in Denver.

  28. bilfred says:

    I will give respect to you bronco fans that spoke up. But the majority have nothing positive to say but pass the blame to anyone.

  29. wolfedom says:

    ILMSDB!!!!!!!

  30. socalbigbroncofan says:

    Billfred make sure u win ur game first before u talk. Cause after today u never know

  31. john bronco says:

    fireeeeeeeeeeeeeee Mc Coy
    fireeeeeeeeeeeeeee Fox
    we need a real Def
    jack del Rio is a loosser

    bring back Mike Nolan

    bring Tom Moore

  32. Ravens82 says:

    Broncos Fans, YOU ALL DESERVE THIS!!! Already counting us out!! Already crying.. saying it was the refs?!?! Both teams had terrible calls.. What won it was .. Joe Flacco outplaying your legendary Peyton Manning, and our offense TORCHING you 12* pro bowl corner.lol… I would never talk trash on another teams site but you all really did deserve this… GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE DENVER..RAVENS BABY!! won fair and square SUCK IT UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN DONT CRY LIKE A LITTLE GIRL

  33. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    I cant beleive people are turning this into a peyton versus tebow. I loved the kid too and i wanted him to stay but talking like that is bad taste. We are bronco fans. Act like it. Aint about PM, TT or anyone. THis is about a football team that came up short when it mattered. Winning this week and losing next week wouldn’t be any sweeter either. What would u say then? Really wish we had Porter. Hope we have him next year because our secondary has always been suspect and having him was a boost. He was the major offseason acquisition to me. Our safety play however is still as weak as ever.

    TRB

  34. coltdfan18 says:

    yea thanks I have two teams now lol colts am a diehard win or loose and now a bronco fan number two team lol you guys had a great year and things will only get better trust me none like peyton can only wish luck will be half as good remember a team game and it takes everyone to win it all you d let you down today but the sun will come up again and soon it will be time to start over to win a superbowl got to have so luck involved also your time is coming bronco fans and its sooner than you think

  35. CARAMELLOO says:

    We had our chances no matter the play calling, no matter what call went against us, no matter who was in or out. I can handle a loss but I really dislike loosing at home!! The flaws in our team showed up at a bad time. Also the Ravens made plays and stops when they had to. Kind of like what our team had been doing during our streak. Especially the D!!

    Our D was one of the best at getting off the field on 3rd down, but the Ravens were better today at moving the chains on 3rd down.

  36. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Lol bad calls both ways? Thats a joke. I on another board am talking to Raider Chief Charger Patriots and a multitude of other fans who all are saying Broncos got ripped off because of the horrible reffing that always went in Baltimores favor.

    Also for as much as some of us have been saying the refs I see those same people (Myself included) talking about how awful our team played. And blaming it on that aspect MORE then the refs.

  37. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Exactly Caramello. Despite everything going against us it doesnt change the fact we didnt play good enough to win. Our D couldnt do anything. Especially get after the QB which hurt us badly. Our offense had a few nice drives but also had awful ones.

  38. coltdfan18 says:

    ravens fans have no class what so ever hate the colts but stole the browns lol will be glad to see you loose tired of seeing ray lewis thugman on tv every second love the os but hate your football team you all didn’t beat the boncos they beat themseleves

  39. socalbigbroncofan says:

    Ravens fan ur a punk. Saying u would never come to another teams site then doing it. What joke. Also u got lucky u wont beat the pats. Then no more ray lewis. Then what. I understand, i remember when i had my first beer too. Lol. Purple is a girls color.

  40. alaskanbronco06 says:

    LMAO Social.

    No Lewis and Ed Reed likely to be gone next year and Krugger lol then youll be stuck with Ngata Suggs and a bunch of who is that basically. Ravens D is going to be interesting next year.

  41. socalbigbroncofan says:

    Well i had a feeling this game wouldn’t be a blowout. Good game,close game just happen to be on the wrong side at the end.

  42. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    Wow what a dbag ravens fan. Don’t be mad at us because all analyst picked against u guys … wasn’t our fault. They just knew who was better. And lets not forget who got torched a month ago. barely won and you would think they just blew us out the way he is talking. I suppose you are proud. This was indeed your superbowl wasn’t it? Win the ring first before you start talking … unless u are like all the other 31 teams except with a lower draft pick.

  43. baylinorcrush says:

    About a month ago I publicly questioned here whether it would be best for us to lose one of the last few games in the regular season, just like we did in 1998 when we won it all.

    But NOOOOO, all the replies I got here were folks totally disagreeing with every bit of that because the home field advantage was so important to gain!

    So here we are, completely one and done!

    HEAR THIS ONCE AGAIN:

    There is nothing as positive as a loss before the end of the regular season to put things in the proper perspective and give a team that needed incentive to get better. NOTHING!

    And that’s exactly why as I stated only one team in the entire history of football has been able to win as many consecutive games in a row as it would have required us to do so to win this superbowl, the 72 Dolphins.

    And my question to you all was what are the odds that we can duplicate that?

    I did not like them odds at all, but you all did…

    Live and learn, greed usually doesn’t get the job done, losing some battles are some of the best experiences I have learned in my lifetime.

    But maybe it’s because my lifetime is much longer than many of yours..

    Well, there is always next year because this one is over.

    Fox is an average coach.

    Bailey has lost his speed like Dawkins did and every good thing eventually comes to an end.

    Without Holliday’s 14 points this game isn’t even close, bad reffing or not, you can put that lame argument to rest.

    Like I said earlier for us to lose this game would require some things to go terribly wrong, the coaching conservatism stands out, and the the inability to match the other team’s intensity IN OUR HOUSE did too, shame on our Broncos as a whole on this one.

    We’re not as good as we thought we were and by a mile!

    But we should get better next year? But will we? Because the main problem is coaching will probably remain the same.

    Can you guys imagine what kind of a break we got not to have to play the Patriots next week?

    Oh well, it’s hard to get back all the way to the top for the ones here who didn’t know that.

    And btw, never liked Rahim but I do like my boy Willis, proud of you today Mathew, whatever that means.

    Hasta luego Broncomaniacs, take a load off and enjoy the off season.

    YOU SUCK!!!!!!!

  45. Ravens82 says:

    All I know is you guys can watch us play SITTING ON THE COUCH! Flacco outplayed Manning, our receivers torched your “elite” defense, and our defense forced 3 turnovers and capitalized.. The Ravens Beat you guys. trust and believe that.. It was one of the best games ive ever seen and it was fun to watch…. But thats what you get when you write off a football team.. you lose… you all already thought Manning vs. Brady… But now what?? You all where so errogant coming into this, and that arrogance rubbed off on the players on your football team and they lost.. If you think about it.. All of the Broncos fans can be put to blame for your teams loss from sharing ur arrogance with ur team……………….think about it

  47. ke says:

    Ultimately, Even with the bad officiating, ” Which was absolutely horrible earlier in the game” We didn’t close at the end. We became too laxed at the end as if it was in the bag. Poor coaching decisions at the end of the game in regulation. We played too conservative today, which wasn’t the day for it. I CAN’T BELIEVE we let that one go. Great season but still burns me up that we let it go.. 2:19 left on the clock, I understand to take time off but all we needed was the first down and game was over. SMDH!!! Ugggggh I’m so angry about this ish. Orange and Blue for life though! Broncos fans, we’ll be back stronger..Salute!

  48. Bob says:

    Fire Broncos coach. He is incompetent

  49. alaskanbronco06 says:

    LOL 2 of those turnovers shouldnt have been. If you knew NFL rules you would know that. But oh well. Refs called a horrible game but like I said and many others said we still didnt play good. We played awful.

    And Ravens fan you said you dont go to other teams boards to talk smack yet like social pointed out thats just what your doing. Lol Raven fans are pretty despicable. If the Broncos won no Denver fan wouldnt of went to your teams board and talked smack. Well that just shows that we are civil about things where Raven fans are just as bad and uncivil as Raider fans.

  50. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Fire Bob….He cant even google the Broncos coaches name. LOL
