Goodness PEOPLE! 880doms I’m looking at you!
We have P. Manning! What else do you want?! The Denver Broncos have my support as I am a fan…I was a fan when we traded Cutler for Orton, and fired Shanahan, and hired McD, and traded away P. Hillis and B. Marshall, and broke up possibly the best Offense in the NFL…and pissed and moaned the whole time about all of those moves…but, I was still a fan. Now, we have the best team in the AFC with possibly the best QB to ever play the game….and it was no better than last year…with Tebow?????????? Really?! ARe you being for real?! HEEELLLOOOOOO

I’ll take 2 years like this year every single time…no matter what the cost is…including being back to the drawing board at QB in a year or two. It’s called football in modern times.

Go Broncos!

Before the season began there was no way i believed this would be the year, and surly as the season progressed it was hard not to get engrossed in our chances. The thing is we are still a young team ALL Around, and with a 1st year qb on our team the odds were really against us. Our o-line is young and missed kup our veteran presence for much of the year, as well as jd. Our wide outs are young and really it was there first season putting it all together. Are starting SS and mb was on there 1st year w/ the team, and all our other cb’s are in there youth (champ*). We had new tight ends altogether. A lb core that is looking deep, and i really like what wolfe brings to the table (dudes like JJ watt). All said and done with the young players developing, chemistry building w/ peyton and Del rio, and the draft/FA we can really come back a solid hungry team. I could go on, but ill leave it to your own thoughts. Things are looking good in the future though folks.

ching77, you absolutely nailed it. The defense and big play coverage was the reason for the loss to Baltimore. Lets have a good draft and get stronger for next year.

Good morning. I am an innocent abroad (I live in a hilltop village in a very rural part of Provence). For years, beginning in about 1986, I was a demented Broncos fan. Having looked after my bedridden parents for many years I moved back to Europe seven years ago after they died. Football was one of the things I missed most. Consequently, I was delighted to discover this thing called nflgamepass which allows one to watch games from far, far away.
Personally, having suffered through a succession of generally inadequate quarterbacks since Elway’s retirement, I breathed huge sighs of relief when Peyton Manning was acquired and Denver handed in a largely enjoyable season. It’s good to win games week after week. I think 88Odoms is being rather harsh. Surely, there were a number of factors involved in the playoff loss?
For one thing, Champ Bailey was severely exposed. For another, didn’t Knowshon Moreno have to leave the game? And then, whatever happened to the much-vaunted pass rush? Didn’t coach Fox also make a number of, er, rather conservative play calls on offense?
As I said, I am an innocent abroad. But it also seemed to me at least once that the referees had been bribed (a figure of speech, forgive me). For example, Peyton had a fumble–I think it was–when his arm was clearly moving forward. It should have been a forward pass-incompletion. Even on the first interception, it seemed to me the receiver’s arm had been held.
The loss, as I believe Elway remarked, was eerily reminiscent of the loss to Jacksonville on 1996 when Denver again had a 13-3 record and was surprised on home ground. To be honest I had a horrible feeling Baltimore would win–but not because of weaknesses in Peyton. I was afraid the bye week and the no 1 seeding would make Denver slightly–very slightly–soft.
I have no-one with whom to discuss football. This has been a pleasure. Good luck to Bronco fans everywhere and may next season go well.

Box…you missed the first part of the conversation, I never blamed Manning for anything but padding his own stas. I said

A. we either lost because Fox an McCoy are the worst play callers in history

B.The playoffs were fix so Lewis could go out on top.

We were a better team the the Ravens were all year, with or without Lewis.

I just dont think signing a guy that is about done wasnt born Blue and Orange is a good Idea. did work for Minnesota or the Chiefs and Denver wont get to a SB with manning and will have to start all over in a year or 2 ( if manning dosent get hurt first) This season wasnt any better than last season if you look at it from a step back, just glitz and glam…look at SD, ast hand full of years winning the division losing in the playoffs year after year until your players are to burnt to play for you anymore….everyone thnks SD is a joke….

Well said about the teams that can beat us TRB.

The thing that makes the NFL so difficult is the “any given Sunday” thing. If you look at it from the probability side, in order to truly find who is the “best” team they would have to play like baseball does. Best of seven. Of course this is not feasible with a game that is so brutal on the human body.

The Ravens did win the SB. No arguing that but I still do not believe they were the “best” team in the playoffs. more like 5th or 6th of 12. They beat the odds to beat Denver, NE and SF. So really, good for them. That is impressive. However, if you played more games so that the outliers happen but don’t have such a drastic effect on the outcome then the Ravens don’t make it to the SB.

I am not trying to take away from what they accomplished, just making the point that once you get to the playoffs, you don’t actually have to be the best team to get to or win the SB. So once you make the top 6 in the conference, it is anyone’s game.

This circles back to saying we are no better off then last year. That is a crap argument. Did we get any further than last year? No. Are we a better team? Undeniably so. The future is bright.
