I think that Pitt game haunts me even more than the Ravens 2OT game because we basically had the super bowl on a silver platter that year. Just had to beat Pitt at home then get a historically awful super bowl team in Seattle. That felt more like a super bowl we should have won than the 2012 year where we still would have had two more very tough games against the Pats and Niners.
I think it had a lot to do with how tired they were. Our front 7 really struggled getting to the quarterback in the last 2.5 quarters because they were so tired. The off coverage in the second half made sense to me, especially when Miller and Chubb are sitting on the bench in the first series after the half.
I think the only reason it doesn't haunt me as much is that we were never in that game... It was 24-3 at halftime - Ward & the Bus were dominating us and Plummer was shitting the bed. But you're right that it was arguably more egregious. Just didn't hurt as bad for some reason.
probably because going into the playoffs with jake plummer is an entirely different animal than going into the playoffs with peyton F. manning. . . we've been on both sides of that, we should know. . . 2005 we were playing with house money the whole season, you had to suspect somebody would figure out how to beat that zero blitz at some point. . .
as for joseph. . . he has undoubtedly looked better so far. . . i am encouraged, but far from convinced. . . too many shades of 2017 yesterday for my liking, but they did show some resiliency and manage to pull it out, which we wouldn't have done last year. . . still, i remember 3-1-- he has a ways to go to earn any real trust from me. . . they will need to get better play from keenum down the stretch if we're going to be in the playoff picture. . .
I agree that the loss itself didn't hurt as bad due to it being a blowout, it just hurts more in terms of what we left on the table. That 2005 super bowl feels like it should have been ours. 2012 even if we beat the Ravens I think our chances of winning it all from that point aren't much better than 1/4.
i want to see mike singletary in league again.
cant win with em!
Horrible challenge
Bad clock management and playcalls in the end zone deep in the 4th ruined any chance of a comeback
Defense allegedly his forte getting smoked way too lax
OLine getting obliterated as usual
Keenum indecisive largely because he was getting abused out there
Im sorry i hope it gets better but it doesnt appear to be.
Sad state of the Broncos under VJ
