Everyone called that penalty is one in a million.

I've posted here before:

"It might be the last thing I do, but if I ever see Michael Dean Perry in person I'm going to punch him in the face." He'll probably do me in at that point, but I'll have avenged that stupid play.

I have no idea how quick he is these days. . .maybe I can get away.

Apparently if you’re ever in Charlotte you might get your shot.

Maybe I can meet Beef there. Have some back-up.

1997
After watching the first 4 appearances and being disappointed, the first win in 97' was GLORIOUS!!

What if Elway had come back FOUR one more.

Can I pick none of the above and go with the 2005 AFCCG? We would have beaten the shit out of Seattle in that super bowl. Elway and Manning got their rings. Would have liked to see Plummer get one.

2013. I’m not sure Denver beats the Packers that year and losing to the Jags was the catalyst for the next two years.

1977. I hate the Cowboys.

And the redskins super bowl

And the giants super bowl

And lose by only 20 in the niners super bowl.

You know what? Broncos would win 3rd Super Bowl over Rams in 2000 if Elway decided to return for another SB run. They had a good defense and offense.

Would have loved to see Elway once more.

I voted for the Ravens because I knew how small the window for Manning was and I thought they'd blown their chance.

Some of the '98 Broncos games are now up on Youtube in their entirety. I just watched the beating we put on Dallas (same week I met my wife!) and both the O-line and TD were so effin' good that year.

This is correct. The 2012 Broncos were probably the best team under Manning, largely because they had a healthy Ryan Clady -- the last time Denver had an actually GOOD OL, plus a really good Julius Thomas at TE. The passing game got better and Peyton threw more TDs in 2013, but 2012 was their year and they blew it, due to idiot coaching decisions and Rahim Moore.

They would have destroyed the 49ers in the SB. Peyton would have had 2 more championships instead of one. But, that 1996 team would never have beaten Green Bay. The '97 Packers overlooked the Broncos and believed their press clipping about how great their "dynasty" was. Nobody in the media gave Denver a chance, and that had to influence how Green Bay approached that game.

In 2015 it was the same thing, with Cam Newton winning 15 games and doing his Superman impression all the time. They really were full of themselves.

Hmmm, im assuming that the end result the following years would remain? In that case Denver would still have won back to back SB's even by losing to the Jags. Even if Denver had beaten the Jags i think the Packers would have still been a hard team to beat whereas i think if we had beaten the Ravens and gone to the SB we would have wiped the floor with SF. IMO

1997 initially, in hindsight knowing we go on to back to backs, the 2013 game.....also if we win in 2013 Flacco doesn't go on some miraculous run to generate a huge contract after a SB win and then we don't get him here in Denver......so yeah 2013

The Jag's loss is probably the most painful I ever experienced as a fan. I was shocked. But, that season, I am not sure we beat GB in that SB. They were better that year than they were the next. in 2013 that was a title year no doubt that we were robbed of.
