Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread *Super Bowl XLVIII Edition*: Broncos vs Seahawks 02/02/14

I love my Broncos but this is the most embarrassing game Ive seen since SFO. I can remember being a kid at my grandparents house and just feeling like we were being toyed with. This was worse in some ways, as I thought we were going to win. Instead Im afraid it may have cemented what my NE friends have said all along; Manning is a choke artist when it matters most and Fox is too conservative. Did we do one trick play to change things up? Did we stretch their defense? Did we even look ready to play?

It was likely game over long before but when we punted from the 40 down 4 scores, it showed the coaches had even given up on winning and instead wanted to hold down the margin of defeat. Now THAT is ******* embarrassing.

I don't think they win the SB with him though. Not saying that they are better off without him, but he is just a different player in the post season.

Peyton's live press conference on line

I found the press conference late, but Peyton said that it was so noisy that Manny could not hear the snap count.

Defense gave up in the second half, but it was already 29-0 at that point, and 16 of those weren't on the D.

30 teams were worse. Can you imagine if all 31 blew it up. It would be interesting, though.

I'm not sure if your serious. Manning has a SuperBowl without the Broncos so he clearly has won something. Also, in the last 2 years, Denver has not only equaled the total number of divisional championships since ELway retired in the 13 years before that, and also surpased total playoff wins. If we want to be that picky, we can kick Manning to the curb, and basically go through the next 15 years with a grand total of 2 playoff vicotries and 2 divisional championships.

We can trade Miller for a first rounder and a starter, maybe

I think at this point I would still take Manning and hope fr the best. If we take him out of the equation we could conceivably go another 15 years with less than desired play. Just think, 2 years ago at this time we were thanking god for Tim Tebow of all people.

Among all the grief, let's not forget the good news here. By passing up a FG on their next to last possession, Seattle spared the Broncos the notoriety of being on the short end of the second-worst ass-kicking in SB history, if I remember correctly.

I keep thinking about the coaching, and how ill prepared we were. I know we like the screen pass but Seattle defends that well and we threw at least one every drive. When should we have realized it wasn't working?

No, they have to stick with him. He keeps them competitive and in the playoffs. But, the Broncos have to move forward addressing what will make this team competitive without him. That means trimming some fat on offense, IMO.

Welker is now talking

I would question Manning as well, perhaps he folded under the pressure and resorted to the dumpoffs

hope the fan police dont come on here and start telling people how they should be reacting to this loss...
