There were a few factors that played into the loss to Baltimore. One was the officiating, it was terrible. The pick 6 was a clear P.I. that was not called, that was the big one. And there were many other bad calls that went Baltimore’s way. But even with all the blown calls, our Broncos should have won the game. The biggest problem was the coaching, way too conservative. Baltimore was coming in on a short week, playing at a mile high. Why didn’t we attack them all day with the hurry up offense. Peyton could have ran them into the ground. Any time we had the lead we tried to sit on the ball. To quote Bill Belichick, “You don’t win a war by digging a foxhole and sitting in it…You need to attack.” If John Fox had that philosophy we would have won by two touchdowns. We go out and get Peyton Manning, he plays MVP caliber football all season long. Then, in the 4th quarter with a chance to put the game away on a 3rd and 7, take the ball out of Peyton’s hands and pretty much down the ball. The final 4 teams left in the Superbowl hunt have coaches that attack… Hopefully next season when the game’s on the line, you leave it up to Peyton Manning, not Rahim Moore.

Its was a combo of bad calls, blown plays on defense, and poor coaching that lost this game….I seen te refs allow the Ravens to do practicly anything they wanted,and ticky tack the Broncos to death. I saw Ravens getting too deep by pushing off on champ and even pushing ime through the end zone and no calls. I seen a blatent pass interferance no call returned for seven. i seen DT get Kicked/tripped when ravens blew cpverage and seemingly no ref on earth was even watching ! Moore just flat out did not get up for this game. And I seen a coach give up on his offense with (31seconds in the game ) in football time and eternity and three timeouts give his half frozen team another qtr on the field…Maybe Fox aint the right guy…..I am real but hurt to be 2 games away 2 years in a row…but this year was even worse cause we were one and done when we had all the Advantages, I hope this will fuel our Boys next year with a fire that the coldest day on Mars can,t put out!

Looks like McCoy is gone:

Chargers have offered their HC job to Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, and the two sides will try to work through a deal today. – Adam Schefter

I agree you want to interview a coach, you wait until their season is over. If McCoy was worried about interviewing, you know the best thing to do in that situation is go out and call a great game and come away with a playoff win. If you’re so worried about interviewing you lose focus on your current team than it’s obvious you don’t want to be part of the team for very long.

Fox and Elway said yesterday that they called a kneel down because the team was in shock and they wanted time to regroup and go to overtime focused….

I was thinking about it… I think that time we lacked leadership among the players, we lacked some guy like Ray Lewis to fire up the team and say something like:

“They gave us their best shot, and now is our time to give our best! This game is still in our hands and we can either lower our heads, bitch about it and let it go to overtime, or we can go there and get this done now! It’s our time to go there and fight back like men!”

I am officially dubbing this game “The Mile High Meltdown.” −2013

And I don’t think i’ll be over this loss until after the Superbowl because i’m going to continue to feel like ‘that could be us.’

i don’t mind the 52 yrd fg try, but Prater hit the fning ball not the ground. On that drive there were 2 no call pass int that really screwed us. I can’t believe Prater hit the tuff. He has kicked how many 50 + fgs. Don’t try to kill it just make contact with a good swing.That was a 10 point swing. He hits it we kick off The ravens would of started at their 20. the Ravens maybe get a FG at best. Jim Cauldwell showed some balls with his play calling. I hope McCoy goes cuz this interviewing doing the playoffs is garbage. Shanny did not let his son do it this year or Kubiac when they were here. i can’t believe all that went wrong. If we would of been blown out by the pats again i could deal with it but to lose the way we did.
