Thread: Moral Victory.

Do you consider this game a moral victory?

Dont know if its a moral victory but showed some good things and showed some things we still need to work on.

For me, I usually consider "moral victories" an absolute crock, but I consider this game one. We had to prove that we could go into Seattle and match their physicality, and we did just that. We showed major balls to take it into OT and were just unlucky to lose the toss. Despite the fact we lost, I think this was the best game we have played so far. I am pretty encouraged going forward.

No such thing.

But this team belongs with the best.

I think it only serves to prove what the Broncos felt all along, it may make us fans feel better but the team has been defiant to common perception since Feb 2nd.

When they get the running game going this is the most complete team, imo.

Typical dismissive Mo. Doesn't attempt to transact, just increase his own account.

Yes. The game was winnable in their backyard and not 43-8.

Not mad and still a long year. We do look better in some areas. Would like to see us bring the house and blitz more. 2-1 heading into the bye week and I believe we will win 13 games this year.

What would you like me to "transact?"

It was a moral victory if that means we lost but still gained something.

Eh, meeting people at their level. Now I feel like a dick.

Moral victories exist and this was one.

Couldn't be prouder of the team. Across the board. I think Demaryius pulled a semi disappearing act, and our playcalling was questionable as usual, especially the obvious 1st down up the gut draws. But our D was money, absolute money. If not for a perfect pass by Wilson and his ridiculous running skills, we should have won. In Seattle. questionable referee calls as well. The offsides that was called and then not called. still allowing the hawks to molest receivers. Oh well. I'll take an OT loss in Seattle that prepares us for them in the Super Bowl again. On a neutral field. With confidence.

I think a moral victory is a myth. Is it OK to have that opinion, or do I not have your permission to do so?

Denver belongs with the best in the league. I think this game proved that. It's not really a moral victory (which, again, I don't think is anything at all), but more proof that Denver is a whole hell of a lot better than many on this message board says it is.

BRONCOS could have given up at the half knowing what happened in the SB and the first half. It's a keeping-your-heads-up going into one the most difficult places to play, coming back in the 4th and sending it to OT. BRONCOS still need work. A long season left, I can't believe next week is a BYE week.

Gotcha. Fair point. You just come across as too superior to mingle with the rest of us, too dismissive, and it got my goat. I'm sure it's not the first time that's happened, and not the last.
