The game has gone final in Buffalo with the Bills beating the Broncos 40-14.
The Broncos started off strong, going up 7-0 after a 1-yard touchdown run from quarterback Tim Tebow on the Broncos first drive. However, after a field goal and touchdown from Buffalo, Denver never could regain the lead.
Tebow threw a touchdown to Daniel Fells to conclude the first drive of the third quarter and bring Denver within three, 17-14. But the Broncos couldn’t overcome Tebow’s four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
Check back soon for more coverage and reaction from the locker room.

THE BRONCOS COULDN’T OVERCOME FOX/MCCOY’S CONSERVATIVE FIRST HALF PLAY CALLING.. NO MATT WILLIS.. TOO MUCH BALL RECEIVING ATTEMPTS… TOO MANY DEEP ROUTES (FALLING RIGHT INTO BUFFALO’S TRAP). THE JIG IS UP.. THE WHOLE LEAGUE KNOWS THAT WE THROW DEEP AND NO SHORT MIDDLE ROUTES.. NO SCREENS OR SLANTS… THEY HAD A WEEK TO PREPARE AND THIS IS WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH.. THIS IS PATHETIC AND I BLAME TO COACHES COMPLETELY FOR THE LOSS… FOX HAS GIVEN OUR MAGIC AWAY… THANKS FOX!!! THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE NEVER HAD BACK TO BACK WINNING SEASONS.. ALSO GREAT DRAFTING OF MOORE !! HE STINKS
Thank you for a really intelligent comment armadillo.

What he said. We should quote this all week long until the staff reads it because it’s right on the money.
I know it’s not an ideal way to get in, but to get in and deny our AFC West rivals is the most important thing, surely?
So if the Chargers lose to the Lions, that eliminates the Chargers right? The Chiefs are already eliminated no?
Does that mean that if the Chargers beat the Raiders next week that we go through no matter what our score with the Chiefs (as we will still hold the tiebreaker over the Raiders)?
uk i think ur right.
I hope so – would mean 2 ways of getting in (with the Chargers winning more likely than us winning at this stage!)
I’m not down on our team though. Amazing progress this year and we were only ever going to do it in the last minute of the regular season!
Tim definitely didn’t have the best game of his life but to say it’s his fault for the loss is just ignorance. The receivers are horrible and can’t ever get open so he has to force it. Now 3 of those forces were to short but that’s a about it. The first pick 6 was his fault for not seeing the safety but when your team is playing awful, and the play calls obvious, you have to take chances. Tim is a great quarterback who is young and has a lot to learn. I believe Denver will go to the playoffs Tim will do good. He is one of the hardest workers in the NFL and will continue to improve. Go Denver, Go Gators, God bless and Merry Christmas!
We still win the West with a loss next week if the Raiders lose with a SD loss today! If we win against the Chefs (Great googly moogly) we are in no matter what. Tebow vs Orton, Who would have thunk it!
Go Broncos!
PS: Please correct me if I’m wrong. That’s the way I read it.
C
We lost in all THREE phases of the game today. Special teams were absolutely pathetic! On O I have no freaking idea WTF was going on there! I don’t care how bad the play calling is but our beloved Timmy needs to make faster decisions. When the Bills figured out how to shut down the run our O went to poop house. Our pass rush d was non existent and the o line and D line faltered many times. This was a team loss! I hope they kept BDawk off the field to preserve him for next week! Looks like we need him more than we thought.
Bah Humbug……
The entire Broncos team deserves a huge lump of coal in their stocking….and that’s being nice……they really deserve a huge lump of something else.
That’s all I have to say about this right now…..trying not to let it ruin my christmas eve.
At least we still control our destiny……..but we also did in 08 and look how that turned out.
UGH!
killerkod-
No Bah Humbug my friend. i belve in my heart of hearts that our young team will learn from this and we will smoke the Chiefs next week. ‘Whatever’ at “MILE HIGH” is going to be ROCK’N!
Merry Christmas!
Go Broncos!
well cam……I thought they were gonna learn from last week’s loss. lol
Oh well, it is what it is and it’s all on them to punch their ticket. I mean, the win wouldn’t have matterered standings wise……but confidence wise, they’ve got to be feeling a little rattled right now.
I hope they can just put this behind them and take care of business at home.
I’m out…….having the family over for christmas eve celebrations…..
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night…..
Oh yeah, and BAH HUMBUG on the game today LOL
Take care and I’ll catch up on the posts later!
It’s over for Tebow. In the post game interview losses don’t even seem to bother him anymore. He keeps saying it’s just a game, no, it’s your profession Tebow and with that comes responsibilities. If I at work srewed up and said well it’s only a job to my employer my ass would eventually get kicked out of there. Too much focus on God IMO. It’s the Broncos paying his salary.
Killer- Best to you and yours!
GEEZ Ty do you realize you are talking about a guy who has only started 10 games this year and won 7 of them. Come on we all know he is not a veteran give him a break. It is not over for him he is just beginniing.
It has been a better season then anyone expected and we are still in the thick of it. Yes it was a bad loss but all teams have that.
Just ask th Packers.. LOL!
SD is down 31 to 10 so far in the 3rd.
The Ravens too against Jacksonville. It happens.
Some here give up way to easy. It`s not over yet!
I can’t wait to see how much better Tim gets with a full off season.
Tie one on, your one selfish person. Your attitude stinks!!!
You tell em strand and it seems to come from people who dont contribute during the week at all. I guess they are game day professionals.
Poor game for us in all phases. And COLD AS HELL! OUCH!!
Bay, I know you are going to read this and I WILL NOT ask you to go easy but keep in mind you did tell me that we were going to have growing pains with Tim
I am still optimistic. No sense in being pessimistic it won’t help.
He`s a Tebow basher, I don`t give those people the time of day!! Broncos first and foremost and TIMMY is OUR QB!! Get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Strand I kept yelling at the TV “HELLO CAN ANYONE STOP ANYONE” the tackeling was even bad. Tim tried to do too much and paid for it. More interceptions in one game than all year.
Ty’s an idiot. What he doesn’t realize is that what Tebow’s already made is more than 99% of America will ever retire on and he’ll give most of it to charity. It IS just a game to him because he’s not a greedy POS like Ty and half of America; that thinks that his life is over if he doesn’t make a million dollars or more a year in “salary.” Does anybody even have a clue what his endorsements and “donations” for charity are worth? I can safely bet that they’re worth Ty’s first born child. Tebow’s PROFESSION is NOT football. It’s being a MISSIONARY. And guess what Ty? If you were HALF the man Tebow is…you wouldn’t have an employer. You’d BE an employer. You’d have THOUSANDS of people standing in line for 48 hours at a time to buy your life story that you didn’t even write. Go punch your time clock on Monday and tell your boss how much you hope he had a merry Christmas. Your future depends on it. Tebow’s doesn’t.
Tim will be OK. Count on it!
Bay will eat the Broncos lunch! The Broncos need a BUTT WHOOPEN by those who LOVE this team and not the LOSERS who are negative at every mistake we make.
Shaz, we`re older and can handle adversity. Some just can`t cope.
As for Mondays prediction, I`m saying that the BRONCOS will shut out K.C. Orton still sucks in the redzone. He got INT twice inside the 10 yard line. LMAO!!
Yeah but what Bay says makes sense and is from the heart and head. BTW BAY!!! The scoring contest is going to be real easy this week. Maybe all of us who picked us to win are going to be on the wall of shame this week.
I know, alot of INT`s by Tim Tebow. Blame that on no run game and being force to throw all game. No excuses but thats the result of that.
I’m just venting shatzah, I always get frustrated with any player who doesn’t seem to take a loss seriously or personally. I’m relentless at my job and I expect people who make millions of dollars at their’s to be relentless too…lol
Then why not start a corporation Ty? It’ll cost you less than $500.
I understand Ty but I think he is trying not to show his emotion so much I bet ya behind the cameras he is plenty emotional and I am sure his coaches are going to rip all of them plenty on Monday.
I agree, tough love by Bay.
@FLBroncoGator. Lighten up Francis.
The reason we lost so badly is the Bills made ajustment during the game & Bronco coaches don’t know how. Its either they are smart enough or they want to loose so they can get a better draft pick. Also the coaches did not get them ready to play this game.
Very disappointing game today thought for sure we would be celebrating an Afc west title and a playoff berth. Don’t question my faith in this team but the facts speak for themselves and those facts say this team is in trouble. If they turn in anywhere near this kind of performance next week the chiefs will have their way With them.don’t know who to blame but they only have a few days to right the ship. somehow I still think they get it done
tie one on, theres no such thing as being perfect. One understanding I have about perfectionists is that they are harsh towrds others and themselves. Live with the mistakes and move on.
1972, I`m with you in those disappointments but Orton can`t throw for TD`s in the redzone. What I`m cocerned about is after we make the playoffs.
“I bet ya behind the cameras he is plenty emotional”
@shatzah
With the type of person he is, I’m sure he is. I think I got used to him showing it on camera in college.
I’m probably way off base.
Yeah he had to grow up and be a man. He is going to work even harder now. I bet he goes to the facility tomorrow if he is allowed to.
Looks like S.D. is going to lose.
Rivers just now INT with 3:39 left in 4thQ, 31-17 Lions. LOL
Glad you calmed down Ty, I can name plenty of teams who has had just as bad of games as we had and QB’s who threw 4 int. in a game. SD just got beat too. Happy for Detroit they get to go to playoffs for the first time since 1999. My Dad would be so proud of them. He always said that he would be dead and gone before they get to the playoffs again. Guess he was right. Miss you Dad.
