And what's up with Manning ? Is he so ashamed that he won't show his face, by not taking his helmet off while he is side lined ?
Looks like Ronda Rousey started at QB.

Not to threadjack but she got messed up last night. She took some great punches to the face.

Peyton looked horrible at the end of last year, and for the most part has been horrible most of this year. He threw 4 picks today, and leads the league in that crappy category. While I want to give him the benefit of the doubt I'm thinking this is the last season. Can't be any other way if he continues to play at the same low level.

Dude got his record - pretty cool for him, not so good for the team.
I don't know much about football, but it seems we were trying to buy a Superbowl victory instead of building toward one.
Trying to buy one is right. Elway and the franchise are really itching for a Superbowl win.
My personal opinion is that Elway and Kubiak both being quarterbacks have compromised their interest over a quarterback's legacy rather than the best interests of the team.

Really the only reason the Broncos got as far as they have this season on the backs of their Defense. Manning has been worthless, and it seems like they've been keeping him in just so he could get that stupid record, at great detriment to the team.

The Broncos woes can't all be laid at the feet of Manning, the entire offense has been abysmal. A porous O-line, ZERO run game, TE's that can't catch and only one receiver playing consistently good ball (Sanders).

I'm just missing our D - they were pretty damn good the first seven games...
It is just a game, remember that folks.
But yes, Manning played one good game this year. Only thing bad about Brock Osweiler is he has the same initials as Obummer. :) I do think he is going to be a great quarterback. This week we will see if we have Donkey's or Broncos for the rest of the season. If Kubiak and Manning can now invest into Brock and get him a little game experience and polish, the year might be salvageable. Play Manning in some situations that are tailor made.
When that happens, I think you will see the offense perk up, gain confidence and become a force to reckon with.
Tebow is available. [ROFL3]
ZERO THEORY
11-16-2015, 10:09
Manning's got a torn plantar fascia. This might be his career. Expect Osweiller to get the start against the Bears, and Peyton might be back for a playoff run. Nothing is certain at this point about him moving forward.
Osweiller's a far better fit for Kubiak's system anyway. If Kubes is staying, the Brock era is on. If they're smart, they'll use Hillman to stretch the outside and the B gap work, and use CJ on the A gap and power formations. Play action from there. Let Sanders play underneath and have DT occupy the safety. Two tight end sets would also be a good way to work the seam.
I don't want to see anyone injured, but that is great news for the Broncos. If Brock can carry the team to the SuperBowl, maybe Manning can get up for one more hurrah and share it with the understudy.

The inability of the offense to keep the ball has hurt the defense big time. No defense can play as much as those guys have been on the field and still maintain the same level of performance.
Glad to hear Kubs taking the blame. He made a terrible choice yesterday. I love Manning, but his time was over year before last, IMO. What a horrible to end an amazing career.
I think the Broncos have a great roster otherwise and i expect big things from them with a fresh QB.

I agree 1 manning = a quality offensive line in financial terms.
Ever since they bought Manning I've been bitching about what they paid for him, and how they apparently couldn't afford to hold on to Tebow, who was costing ~10% of that.

Yes, seriously. We'll never really know but objectively it doesn't look like the team got any better results on the field for the $60M Manning cost them than they would have gotten from Tebow for a fraction of the cost. Off the field, Manning drove a lot of other sales so maybe the team made its money back there.

Tebow had more completions than Manning has this season.
Ive found that no matter how much I care or don't care about the Broncos, it doesn't change how they play. That's why I've found myself doing other things on Sundays. It is sad to see Manning finish out like this though. Elway paid a high price to bring him here and no superbowl means it wasn't worth it. One superbowl would have justified it. His first year here was our chance and they screwed it up against the Ravens.
I still think Manning should have bowed out after the terrible SB performance against Seattle. Walk out leaving the fans wanting more, instead of overstaying and having everyone wish he'd just retire already. That's what it's looking like now. While I like him, he's a talented and brilliant QB, he's been faltering the last 12 games he's played. Last season proved he was done, and with the exception of ONE good game so far this season, he's proving that point in spades. I love the Broncos, always have, always will, but I'll be damned if I have fun rooting for a team that goes almost 3 1/2 quarters without putting any points on the board to a team we already beat once.

No, we're comparing what $60M would have got the team. One Manning near the end of his career or a transition QB plus a lot of other talent. End results of Manning's first season as a Bronco were no better than Tebow's last season as a Bronco -- but hey, you got to buy Manning a whole lot of Papa Johns franchises ...

He wasn't trained into a pass first system, josh mcdaniels overpaid with the draft pick, and the new staff wanted to remove all traces of the mc'd era. The pure physicality of tebow was impressive, but he would have had to learn reads.

Tebow through 126 completions and 6 interceptions in the 2011 season with the Broncos. Manning through 5 completions and 4 interceptions yesterday.
I'd like to clarify, Tim Tebow wouldn't have become elway or manning, he could have been a Russell Wilson, cam newton type though. Im not sure that's what we want here, but it is s sad waste to have this defense tied to this offense.

Opinions on sports are subjective. But, uh...you don't understand football very well.
Odell Beckham is the shiznats. Broncos are good to go now that manning is "injured". I hate to see one of the best go out in this fashion. Could have been the GOAT if they had won the super bowl.
Go Giants..[Sofa]
One of the best games I've seen in a while on Sunday.
Lost reception on the Bengals game at half time because of the snow, looks like they lost, but barely.
Watching the Broncos and to me it's obvious. The King is dead, long live the King.

I wish the TE's and RB's would play this good when Manning is in. I'm also questioning some of Dennisons play calling with Manning. The Broncos were able to move the ball with short throws yet they make Manning huck it 30+ yards on third down after two go nowhere runs.
And Tebow, really? Dude can't even make a practice squad.
Well, Osweiler is nimble enough to work under center. Manning isn't.
The Broncos, Jets & NE all discarded Tebow. And since no other team has picked him up, I guess the entire NFL just cannot see his QB skills.

Its really hard to tell what this Broncos team can/will achieve. They are just as capable of winning a nailbiter with a big play as losing games they should win with stupid mistakes and penalties. They did stumble into #1 in the AFC with the Pats losing a game they should have won. All teams have had bad moments this season. My sense is the Broncos won't be able to win 3 games against top opponents because they make too many critical mistakes. Even the D gives up big plays at times, like Talib on the 4th quarter bomb from rivers.

I think it's pretty clear that Oswilers play regressed as teams got more tape on him. He struggles to read the D and holds onto the ball too long, two things that Manning doesn't do. The Chargers had Osweilers number as he continually missed blitzes and misread the D. Manning comes in and tears them up.
With th a healthy Manning the Broncos have to be the favorites to make the Super Bowl. The Broncos have played against 6 of the playoff teams and have won 5.

I was at the Monday night game last week and that 4th quarter missed field goal was a shocker, absolutely unbelievable that he flubbed that one. Yesterday's game was another comedy of poor playing and occasional brilliance. The defense really needs to get better at tackling the ball holder. And the receivers need to go back to learning some basics like, keep their eyes on the ball until it is in their hands.
Anyway, in the playoffs again, Go Broncos!

I have zero beef w/the defense because they're the reason you can play QB musical chairs with a retiree that's 65% and a nearly rookie who can't read a defense and audible to the right play and still win the AFC outright. Sure they have areas they can improve in but you don't finish #1 in the NFL without doing a lot of things right. Brock got the blame for the first half of yesterday's game but the truth of the matter is that I can say that none of those interceptions were on him. He actually played very well and I'm not 100% sure I agree with the benching of him in the 2nd half. The Peyton thing is a mystery to most but if he's closer to 100% than 50% health-wise then I approve of him leading them through the playoffs & this was the best possible time to put him in. Establish him as the starter again going into the two weeks off for everyone to get their minds right and to get him the proper reps leading up to the first home playoff game in two weeks. I'm worried though. If he's closer to 50% than 100% he will look awful behind that line against the defensive fronts he will see in the playoffs. Will we see the Peyton from after the bye week this year or the Peyton from the other 18 games he played going back into the regular season last season? I would absolutely love a John Elway-esque story of riding off into the sunset for Peyton (maybe an even better ending when you consider all factors) but I'm a bit worried about the offense we will be left with if he's the old Peyton which I believe he is... old. Noodle arm, happy feet & a defense with 8 in the box because they don't have to respect the deep ball or the pass at all for that matter. Remember? That's what Denver was before Brock. Denver fans have a short memory span sometimes and I think this is one of those instances. If Peyton comes out flat again (likely) the Steelers then we'll quickly remember and Denver will be laughed off the field in the playoffs... again. This will either be one of the greatest ends to a great QB career or the worst. There really is no middle ground on this one.
Yeah, regardless of the mistakes, I'd say their D is squaredTF away.
After yesterday's turn of events, I really disagree with "This will either be one of the greatest ends to a great QB career or the worst. There really is no middle ground on this one". The worst end would to be riding it out to seed 6 and done from the bench. That moment when the house shook as he took the field was pretty special imo, not to mention the 80 yard drive to for the TD that ensued...yeah it was against a busted Sandy, but it wasn't a 3 & out.

I was at that game as well, in the South Stands, still have the cold to prove it. McManus was kicking into the SS for the win, that shank was so bad that I thought it was hit at the line. That game had a lot of WTF moments.

I've been saying this all season, a healthy Peyton is a much better option than a healthy Brock. That's not a dig at Brock either. If you ignore the SD game the only thing that improved on offense with Brock was fewer INT's but they struggled to move the ball efficiently. And with as many people lamenting Manning for being immobile he was sacked far less than Osweiler was this season, that reflects on his quicker reads and throws. Plus, while Brock has a better arm he is still missing on the deep balls as much a Manning is/was.
I never really bought into blaming Manning and the shotgun for a lack of running game either. The o-line has seemed to improve in the run blocking department these past few weeks, couple that with a healthy resurgence of Anderson and everything comes together.
As to the defense, they really only had one bad game this year and that was against the Steelers. That was exacerbated by the fact that the Broncos offense couldn't stay on the field in the second half. They had 9 possessions in the second half: 5 w/o a first down (essentially all were 3-and-out as one drive got an extra play due to a penalty), 2 turnover on downs, and INT and one first down.

Struggled to move the ball efficiently? Brock threw for over 200yds in the first quarter? How much more efficient do you want them to be? The picks were more on his teammates than Brock. He gets no help at times from his line and receiving crew and this is the same performance you will see from those guys regardless of who's under center... I mean in the backfield since Peyton is never under center and scraps 90% of the offensive system simply by being in there. Give good AFC teams a week to prep for an offense led by THIS Peyton Manning and it will be same old Peyton, different game. Brock is missing on the deep balls but it's reasonable misses. Peyton was missing in a manner that made it look like he was putting EVERYTHING he had on the ball because the accuracy was just gone. He was all over the place. At least most of Brock's misses deep are close showing an ability to actually control the deep pass but barely missing the mark. It's also funny that you say the O-line has improved the last few weeks but put none of that credit on Brock and the existence of the ability to actually scramble and reemergence of a run game which is also due in no-small-part to a credible pass game once again. If Peyton isn't far closer to 100% than he's shown Denver is doomed because an AFC playoff team with a week to prep for Peyton will game plan to load the box to combat the run game and pressure Peyton. Peyton won't be able to hit his intermediate passes and the long ball will not be a threat because he won't have time. People forget that it was over an entire season (going back to mid-season) of exactly that minus one or two games of good play. The debate is over the QB but the Broncos will go as their defense goes this year because it's all riding on them regardless of if it's Brock or Peyton. Even if Peyton is 100% he's aged considerably and it will be cold and shitty in Denver for the playoff games. He has historically done lousy in the post season and inclement weather and aging doesn't help those out.
It amazes me how short-term some Bronco fan's memory is at times.
As far as the sack situation goes...anybody else think it was coincidental that the Schofield situation was being brushed under the rug until Manning took the field? I find it hard to be as cynical as most of you self proclaimed fans are because of that whole "Any given Sunday" jargon. There's too much damn talent on that roster to count 'em out so I still have faith in them bastids!
I'm excited, is manning what he was, no. Did the Broncos need to find a way to bench Brock, yes. Brock may be a great qb in the future, but manning has earned the right to finish strong and not have an embarrassing end to his career. I thought Brock may have to fake an injury in order to get manning on the field before the playoffs. If manning really sucks next game, he'll get injured and Brock can come in to finish the game. Cj Anderson has to be healthy, you can load the box on that guy and it doesn't matter. He is a very underrated back, if he can run strong, the Broncos may go to the big game.

Noodle arm, happy feet & a defense with 8 in the box because they don't have to respect the deep ball or the pass at all for that matter. Remember? That's what Denver was before Brock. Denver fans have a short memory span sometimes and I think this is one of those instances. If Peyton comes out flat again (likely) the Steelers then we'll quickly remember and Denver will be laughed off the field in the playoffs... again. This will either be one of the greatest ends to a great QB career or the worst. There really is no middle ground on this one.

Struggled to move the ball efficiently? Brock threw for over 200yds in the first quarter? How much more efficient do you want them to be? The picks were more on his teammates than Brock. He gets no help at times from his line and receiving crew and this is the same performance you will see from those guys regardless of who's under center... I mean in the backfield since Peyton is never under center and scraps 90% of the offensive system simply by being in there. Give good AFC teams a week to prep for an offense led by THIS Peyton Manning and it will be same old Peyton, different game. Brock is missing on the deep balls but it's reasonable misses. Peyton was missing in a manner that made it look like he was putting EVERYTHING he had on the ball because the accuracy was just gone. He was all over the place. At least most of Brock's misses deep are close showing an ability to actually control the deep pass but barely missing the mark. It's also funny that you say the O-line has improved the last few weeks but put none of that credit on Brock and the existence of the ability to actually scramble and reemergence of a run game which is also due in no-small-part to a credible pass game once again. If Peyton isn't far closer to 100% than he's shown Denver is doomed because an AFC playoff team with a week to prep for Peyton will game plan to load the box to combat the run game and pressure Peyton. Peyton won't be able to hit his intermediate passes and the long ball will not be a threat because he won't have time. People forget that it was over an entire season (going back to mid-season) of exactly that minus one or two games of good play. The debate is over the QB but the Broncos will go as their defense goes this year because it's all riding on them regardless of if it's Brock or Peyton. Even if Peyton is 100% he's aged considerably and it will be cold and shitty in Denver for the playoff games. He has historically done lousy in the post season and inclement weather and aging doesn't help those out.
It amazes me how short-term some Bronco fan's memory is at times.
And the run game didn't get going against the Chargers until Manning came in. It's not like the run game has improved drastically under Osweiler either:
Rushing with Manning as starter: 106 and 3.85 YPA
Rushing with Osweiler as starter: 126 and 4.45 YPA
The running game has been improving all season long and I place the late success more on CJ Anderson finally getting healthy and the o-line figuring out how to run block. They still can't pass block to save their life but at least Manning takes less drive ending sacks than Osweiler.
Both QBs have their strengths right now, Mannings is more suited for a post season run. Manning was getting better as the season progressed, up until his injury. Brock has been getting worse as defenses continue to perplex him. The fact is that right now Brock is easier for defenses to scheme for and that completely negates any physical advantage he has over Manning. Manning can change the play at the line enough to keep defense honest.
I think bringing in Manning had a psychological impact on both the Chargers and the Broncos. It seemed to energize the Broncos and deflate the Chargers.

"Spygate" is well-known as a hit job, considering literally every other team in the league was doing the exact same thing. The "cheating" was a completely inconsequential technical violation.
"Ballghazi/Deflategate" not only had laughably weak evidence in the Wells report, but the amount of deflation was also completely insignificant. Even IF it had actually been a nefarious plot, it would've hindered the Pats more than help them by way of miniscule reductions in velocity, and making it more difficult to make grabs.
People hate success when it doesn't favor them. Make no mistake, the Pats aren't where they are because of cheating. They're there because of brilliant and obsessive dedication to game study, terrific front office work, and building/retaining talent. Gronk was drafted 42nd in the 2nd round. Brady was pick 199 in the 6th. Chandler Jones was taken 21st, and Hightower 25th in 2012. Hate 'em all you want, but the Pats are right up there with the Spurs for the most dominant dynasties of the last 20 years.

That's why we play the games. We can say anything about teams on paper. Comes down to one team's will to win in the trenches, play calling. Damn the Chargers were moving the ball against our Defense when they had no O-line and on paper we should have shredded them. Maybe that would have panned out if we did not have five turnovers.
Last time I heard the stadium that loud when Manning came in is when Tebow came in. Tebow carried that for every home game into the playoff game vs the Steelers. Only thing I can equate it to is when the headliner comes on stage even when the opening band was very good.
Hope the home field advantage is not squandered and the 12th man shows up.

I would have to agree. It is glaringly obvious when you compare the Pats to someone like the Browns who squandered and chewed up so many great draft picks. One organization is built better from the top down to produce a team that is contending every year. Broncos also have that and we should be grateful versus what has been done to the other pro teams in Denver.

"Maybe" that would have panned out if we did not have five turnovers?? Those turnovers were undoubtedly why Denver didn't have a blowout. The O line wasnt doing so hot until the Schofield situation was addressed; funny how 23 came up with a nice TD run on that side shortly after. Sometimes I wonder if I was watching the same game as everybody else because other than Talib running the wrong route on williams the Chargers did not move the ball very well. Before that bomb to Williams, Rivers had less than 150 yards of passing. Say all you want about that D, but to hold the Chargers to only 3 points on the first 4 turnovers is pretty damn impressive.

I just brought up Tebow because unless you were there you would never really know or feel how differently the crowd and the team played. Hard to explain but it definitely made a difference. Guess another example is when TD went in for a migraine during the superbowl and came back out it really lifted the team. Same for the Elway run and helicopter hit and bounced back up. Probably same emotional adrenaline dump with the team and Manning. And the lineman change was no fluke as well.
I remember it, I wasn't there, but as a one of the fans pissed about our 1-4 season to that point, I'm sure it's safe to say that the excitement wouldnt have been much different with ANY supposed up and coming QB stepping in to bench Orton.
You are living in the past. The Seahawks are beatable. The panthers are beatable by this defense. Ditto the cardinals.
But to win a championship game against the NFC you need offense that can handle their defense-the Broncos, as much as I'd like to see them do it, will fall short.

If, and it's a big if, Cj can be healthy, and they use him as a bell cow, they can open up the pass game like they used to. The line has to do its job as well. Hillman is a good back, but we misuse him. I wouldn't mind seeing a few two back sets with those two as well.
Hell, I don't even know if they'll make it that far. It's been a Jekyll and Hyde team for the last couple years.

That O-line is a sieve right now & the receivers can't catch a damn ball. If those two groups can't figure it out then it doesn't matter if it's Peyton, Brock or Elway in his prime... they need to protect longer, open up some rushing holes and catch a damn ball! NE will eat them up with their schemes if they show up looking like they did tonight.
What do you mean? The O-line gave Peyton enough time to lay down, get back up without being touched and throw the ball 34 yards. And it was one of the few passes that wasn't dropped by the receiver.
I also like when the rest of the team decided early on that they didn't need Peyton always walking up to the line and yelling at them. So they decided to just snap the ball right to the running back when Peyton wasn't looking. To bad it didn't work out better.

I have always been a fan of Denver since before John. Was it just me or did the Defense look a little slow last night. Like for most of the game they were just chugging along going "well were not down by much yet" then kinda come to life? And many of the dropped passes you would have thought that Payton had a bionic arm.
Alright, done being a downer. Going back to my theory of... We were just holding out yesterday so the pats don't have tape on the real offense. . 2013 offense will be displayed this week. F the patriots. Let's see Tom cry.

That spotty offense and stellar defense have taken down 3/4 of Denver's opponents all season long. It's not like they were ever super hot and then coasted - hell, Denver had a better or similar last 6 games than anyone in the AFC, except Kansas City.
Will it be enough next Sunday? Who knows... "Any Given Sunday" style.
For what it's worth, I think Brady will end up being the higher-regarded quarterback, and the 2001-20xx Patriots the best regarded overall team of the time period, though both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady will be enshrined in Canton on their first eligible ballot.
Amen to Tom crying, though - that'll really energize him for the 2016 regular season!

Especially with Hightower back in the mix. The Pats aren't a defensive powerhouse, but they play smart. And that's dangerous when an offense is struggling to make their designed plays work, because unless you've got Rodgers or Roethlisberger, extending the play and improvising rarely works well for 4 quarters.

One play doesn't equate to good play. The youngsters have been inconsistent, and Mathis isn't exactly living up to the hype he had in Philly.

This really feels like the script has flipped from the debacle two years ago. A prolific offense with a good D going up against a beast of a D and an OK offense.
Wade Phillips' best bet is to put a spy on Cam Newton that acts as a heat seeking missile every play. Switch it up, some plays it can be Miller, others, Ward, but they better have a guy that accounts for him on every play. The more they can hit him the better. Just rushing 3 or 4 every play is going to lead to Newton getting loose waaay too often. They need to keep him in the pocket and blow him up.
As for the Broncos offense, run the ball more on 1st and 2nd down and stay away from 2nd/3rd long.

It was pleasing to see Brady knocked down and rushed so much. A little part of me kind of wanted to see him sit down and cry after the game... [Muaha] Patriots probably could have won if they were more than just Brady and Gronk, but the Broncos were able to effectively shut down the other receiving options.
If the Broncos D can put that much pressure on Cam Newton, they'll have a chance. If not, they'll lose to the tune of 17-35, with at least one of their scores coming in the last 5 mins. I hope it's not a blowout, but I guess that's why sports are fun to watch: you never know who is going to show up and have the game of their life.
Just like with the Patriots and the Steelers before I will make the same claim: If the Denver receivers can catch a ball Denver will win.
The defense will do what the defense does and just like those games have more of a chance to win than most would give them.

He was out with the family, sounds important to me ;) Now watch me win that holster.
Yeah, great...now I'm dealing with all the nonsense accompanied with a home team super bowl victory. Bronco fans fucking up the downtown area. Oh...and DPD just deployed tear gas. This makes me happy. As a police dispatcher I'm making my $$$ tonight.

I'm happy for the Broncos. It's nice to see Manning with the opportunity of going out on top.

Yep, 1 more win before retirement.

I thought the way he handled the stupid question about retirement perfectly. Everybody was taking about it and demanding an answer. I wanted to slap the interviewer for being so dramatic about it when he was setting up the question.

Anybody see Cam Newton's "press conference" after the game? I see pouting like that when my 2 year old gets in trouble for trying to push her brother off the couch, never thought I'd see it from a grown man who plays a game for a living.
So which is it, gas or no gas?
Yep. DPD deployed tear gas near 16th & Stout. All the inebriated dumb shit intoxicated fans were stirring up all kinds of bullshit. Glad I got to watch it all from camera. Listening to DPD TAC channel was a blast. They did an outstanding job in all the chaos.
I remember being in lodo during the last two bowl wins and I honestly believe that's why I hate that area with a passion. It's full of drunks and very very dangerous. I'm glad I had to work tonight, watched it and still go pains and didn't have to deal with any of the craziness.
Good Job DPD!
Yeah, I don't go downtown...ever. I can do without all the bullshit that surrounds it. I hate, loathe and despise downtown Denver. Glad I wasn't the only one working tonight. We were watching it on a host of cameras. Nice thing about working for the Transit Police Dispatch center. We have over 2,500 cameras at our disposal.
"Keep Pounding"

Sounds more fun than watching the game, especially since I know how lovely tear gas is.
You have me to partially thank for the win. I don't think the GF has ever watched a Broncos game where they won. Ever. So I took us out to watch SW:TFA during the game and shared the theater with 7 other people. Afterwards we went to Colorado Mountain Brewery (http://www.cmbrew.com/) and sat far away from the TVs. I got delayed on the way out and she wandered into the bar to watch, upon which the Panther's promptly scored a field goal.
Upon hearing the screams of dismay coming from the bar, I knew right were to find her and dragged her out and headed to summersweet (http://www.summersweetyogurt.com/) yogurt where they didn't have a TV and then didn't head home until the game had concluded.
You're all welcome.

What a putz. Spoiled baby couldn't even give 3 minutes if his oh so difficult life to answer questions and help his team. Some leader, not.
Not winning must have really hurt his millenial feelz.
He was crying out for SAFE SPACE! from the Bronco's D all night, but was ignored.
I guess Cam thought they were just going to hand him the trophy for showing up. Saw the video of him sitting by himself on the sideline pouting. NOT a team player. Somebody needs to send him a participation trophy to brighten his day.
Did you guys see his second fumble when he reacted like the ball was poison and he pulled away...instead of diving into the scrum to recover the ball? Not a good example of 'killer instinct' there Cam.

After the game he was pissed because they were interviewing the Broncos (first time they've required the losing qb to interview btw) right next to him. Harris was talking trash the whole time... I don't blame him for it, better than him lashing out

Interviews in the same room, separated by a curtain or some such - apparently Levi's Stadium short on podium space... Not sure if that's 'neva been done befo' or not - but clearly not when Cam was on the losing side.

CAM - Couldn't Act Manly
Bronco fans: For years we've been the underdog & never given credit. It was frustrating watching the best defense in the league go largely unnoticed. Now, on the heels of winning Super Bowl 50 what do I wake up to see? A bunch of Facebook posts about Cam Newton. C'mon Bronco fans, you're better than that. Don't stoop to that level. Don't fall into the media narrative about taking the focus away from Denver. This was a Denver win. Period. Carolina didn't give the game away because Denver took it. Carolina fought one HELL of a tough battle & Denver was just that much better. End of story. Carolina had a hell of a season & deserved all of the credit they received because they really were that good. Denver was better. Let's rise to that level as fans & celebrate the victory & not resort to negativity because it's not necessary. Good sportsmanship is just as important in victory as it is in defeat.
As in many games, whoever can better capitalize on their opponent's mistakes is likely to win. Carolina made several unforced errors, but the Denver defense also forced two huge errors that resulted in Denver TDs. Maybe people aren't giving Denver credit because they (the people) fail to attribute skill to the Denver D and instead attribute weakness to the Carolina O-line.
The parade just rolled past my office building. Didn't go outside to watch it, just found an empty office to watch from. There is a mess of people outside now.
Good for the Broncos and their fans. Enjoy it. Let next season be next season. Enjoy the win.

That's no secret, I've been correcting people since Sunday. I don't believe Carolina played bad at all, Denver defense was just ruthless, completely dominated Carolina, and to say otherwise isn't giving Denver the credit they deserve.

anyone at the parade/rally? the crowds look unbelievable. just a few more than showed at those capitol steps rallies during the gun law debates a few years back.
and as for Cam--who cares that he doesn't want to talk to the jackasses in the media who want to know how he "feels" for losing the super bowl? it doesn't have a damn thing to do with sportsmanship, etc.--the guy didn't want to talk. so what?

SuperBowl aftar report: Ok...Reading stories on the Super Bowl venues it was very apparent that San Fran locals did not want the Super Bowl in their city. We flew in Friday morning but were tired so we stayed away from downtown. Ate at a local seafood place and had a wonderful late lunch. Did some walking around close to the hotel and enjoyed the nice day. Ordered room service for dinner and got rested for going into the city Saturday.
Crowds were crushing. Raider Nation was out in full force. One would have thought they were playing. Lots of security with those scary assault rifles and bomb sniffing dogs. The men and women in uniform were really cool when you got a chance to make eye contact and give a nod or close enough to say some encouraging words. Super Bowl city was one part of down town and the NFL experience was over a mile away in another part. Had long lines getting into Super Bowl city. Hour or longer waits to get into any of the sponsor attractions. Could not even get into the pep rally for my own team. We hoofed it up to NFL experience and the lines there were even longer. We ended up going over to the store to purchase a couple of items. I was hoping to find some unique item only sold during that week. For the most part everyone was in good spirits but we had to walk past all of the human debris that locals put up with. They tried cleaning up but it still stunk like piss.
We took an uber to a local restaurant for dinner my neighbor recommended. The Refuge has some of the best pastrami I have ever had and a wide assortment of Belgium beers. I had a Kwak and it was sweet almost like a mead. Very tasty. The location reminded me of Gaylord street in Denver with small and unique restaurants.
Super Bowl Sunday. Great weather for a game. We were on the first shuttle over hoping to score tickets to our own team tailgate party. Unfortunately most of those went to people who purchased flight and hotel packages with and without game tickets. We did our own flight and hotel arrangements and individual tickets for the tailgate party never went for sale again all week. Bronco fans outnumbered Panther fans and it was almost like a home game for us. Big security perimeter around the stadium which meant more walking. They parked us over a mile away. Again security staff were cool. I spoke with one niner fan who went to the game and he stated the fan base hates the new stadium. Just not the same. I think we felt the same way moving from Mile High to "insert corporate sponsor name" at Mile High. The club level seats puts a different person in those seats and crowd noise can be affected if they are not into the game.
Our crowd noise was much louder in person versus when I watch the game on Monday. CBS seems to have set crowd volume levels the same for both teams. Half time.....yawn. Great finish and we barely had time to watch the beginning of the award ceremony. The last buses were leaving exactly one hour after the last whistle of the game. We had to hustle to make the buses but made it.
So...bucket list item for a football fan. Got some quality time with the wife as well. Weather was excellent for our whole time there. Never a hint of rain which is especially rare for this time in San Fran. Our team won. A great way to spend our 30th year married together.
May never happen again that I am able to go but would think long and hard if I would ever do it again. Nothing special ever given to us season ticket holders other than first right to purchase a ticket. I was hoping for one trinket other than my ticket they may give or allow for purchase. The NFL is trying to appeal and expand their fan base but I may be one that gives up on them and enjoy from afar. I still purchase season tickets because I never have a problem selling them. May change if the Broncos have some loosing seasons.

I'm an IT tech and a programmer. I do find it ironic when people try to experience life (which is right in front of them) through a 3" cell phone screen while paying like 10 grand. Your seat offers good visibility, but I would really hate (in a different seat) for someone's (or more than someones) arm and cell phone to be obstructing the view.
E.g. - people buy a ticket there for the experience. If they want to watch it on a screen, why not save $9,000 and watch it on TV (recorded on a $50,000 camera as opposed to a $400 iPhone).
So you aren't fond of memories, some people are. Some people like to spend 9 grand and be able to enjoy that 9 grand for longer than 3 hours.

Take some pics.. take a short vid... sure... but to hold the damn phone over your head filming the whole time forcing me to watch the show thru your phone is well wrong.
This happens at concerts way too much and as someone who works them specifically doing lights there are al the fuckheads that can't turn the LED light off not the phone ruining the look of the show I'm trying to achieve. Thanks pal!
Put the phone away watch life happen live and in color!

Considering your post is some wild extreme, none of which I was talking about, it's not really a valid response to my post.

Wild extreme?
Been to a concert in the last 5 years ?
This is EVERY SINGLE SHOW. And I have had concerts ruined ( with assigned seating) by the jack wagon in front filming the whole thing .
Nd it's EXACTLY what your talking about ... just instead of football it's a concert .. a live event either way .

I don't know of this craziness you are talking about. I'm defending cell phones as it pertains to taking a few pics, and filming a few vids. No idea why you quoted my post and took it off into some wild cell phone party, where everyone is acting like a "twat".
I'm not defending wild crowds and rude people as you seem to think I am (I even referenced to loathing crowds a few posts back). I don't do concerts and I don't do sporting events, I'm a lame 32 year old, with a wife and 2 kids under the age of 3, but best believe, if I attended these events I'd be creating memories with my cell phone, while being considerate to those around me.

The last concert I went to, which was the first in maybe ten years, I spent more time watching how many people were holding their cell phones up than I spent watching the band perform. I've realized that I take a TON of pictures on my phone, but only to post them on here. After that, unless it's something that I can show to people over and over (like the first buck I shot), I never look at them again.

I've gotten to the point that unless it's for a purpose, selling something, sending something funny, etc I really don't take pictures anymore.

Kapernick?
Aw damn Broncos cheaped out: Brock Osweiler will sign with the Houston Texans, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, agreeing to a four-year, $72 million deal.

If Elway had wanted him that bad he would have gotten the deal done. He wanted him 39mil for three bad but not 72mil for four bad. I can see why. Basically he fell apart and they had to bring Manning in. If he had not he would have gotten the big deal.

Nah, once Manning was healthy, he was getting the job again. That stint was Brocks time to show Denver he could lead them in the future but this was still Peyton's team. Elways is a business man. You have to be able to walk away and he does. He knew what he was willing to pay (for 7 starts) and what he wasn't willing to pay.

$18mil a year is more than Manning was guaranteed the last two years, and he already had 13 winning seasons, four MVPs and a super bowl ring when he got here...
You don't pay a guy 72 mil after 7 starts in the NFL. Maybe we'll regret it, maybe not, you just can't tie up that kind of cap money for 4 years on an unproven entity. Brock was nursing some kind of an injury at the end of the season too. I think John knows something we don't.
Kaepernick with these receivers and a strong rb is interesting. Unless he's stupid. I can't always tell.
I'm not really digging any of the current options.
Kapernick. SF says they don't want to trade him. Translation: he's for trade but we want a lot for him. Plus, we would be getting his contract which has some pretty hefty numbers towards our cap over the next several seasons.
RG3. Umm. No thanks. Although we might get him cheap only because I doubt there's going to be much interest from other teams.
Ryan Fitzpatrick. I find him entertaining to watch. He's not scared to throw into coverage. I like a QB who is willing to take a risk to make a play. Just not sure I want him throwing all those interceptions as a Bronco.
Johnny Manziel. Please no. Just no. No matter what Vaughn Miller thinks.
I wonder what Tim Tebow is doing these days? I mean he would be a nice pick up. You know, if we could convince him to play tight end. Probably need one of those since Owen Daniels got cut and Vernon Davis didn't look like he was going to pan out here.
I hear Brett Farve is going to make an appearance at a private showcase and see what he can bring.
I heard Peyton is looking for something to do.
Always wondered why Tebow didn't want to be a TE. Don't really know what kind of hands he has, but I always thought he'd be perfect in that position.
I don't follow football, why no interest in RG3? My kid thinks he's a class act.

Losing Trevathan was a bigger blow than Brock. Despite losing the big three FAs they had none are going to be that hard to replace.

The guy seems pretty self centered and not really a team player. I remember after a loss he was being interviewed and pretty much said his teammates played poorly and that's why they lost. I've also heard his coaches don't think he puts much effort into studying or trying to learn the offense. Probably thinks he can get by off of physical talent alone. Plus, in my opinion, he makes poor decisions on the field and can't seem to stay healthy.

How about Connor Cook? Just graduated after leading his team to the best 4 years in Michigan State football history. Throws accurately and with a strong arm. Smart player. Not sure how well he would adjust to the NFL, but he wouldn't be expensive to start out... [Dunno]
There's always Elway. Plus, I hear his old backup is in town....

I don't know if Cook will be around by the time the Broncos pick in the draft at 29th. Doubtful with the QB shortages right now.

I'm still curious about what Siemian can do, he looked really good in preseason last year. I say the Broncos try to pry AJ McCarron away from the Bungles and draft another QB late. Get a three way competition going in preseason and see what happens. Working out the kinks on the O-line and getting a reliable backfield are more important than a QB right now with the way this team is built.

I agree. He's already got 50000 yards passing. Maybe he could go for Payton's records now.
In all seriousness, it was too bad we couldn't keep Osweiler. Fitzpatrick or Kapernick could do alright, not that big a fan of RG3
Coker.. One year starting and earned his spot to win the ncaa title. Didn't even have a strong receiving group. Pretty young group he was throwing to. Made plays when he had to, severely underrated for his college career. Has an arm. Ran better than cam newton

This. Let's get AJ.

McCarron is going to be a really good quarterback. I hope the Broncos trade for him.

It wasn't that Elway would have wanted him, it's whether Brock wanted to stay in Denver. He felt slighted when they benched him to bring back Peyton. What was he expecting when he's sitting second fiddle to one of the best QBs to play the game? Of course when Peyton got better he'd be back. Brock didn't fall apart, I was at that game, he was doing good. Peyton was expected to be back either that game or the next. He didn't get the recognition he was owed, IMHO, and he felt slighted by that. Good riddance. Elway was right to let him go, he didn't want someone here who didn't want to be here.
I wonder what Tim Tebow is doing these days? I mean he would be a nice pick up. You know, if we could convince him to play tight end. Probably need one of those since Owen Daniels got cut and Vernon Davis didn't look like he was going to pan out here.
Not only no, but hell no. Tebow's time came a passed. There's a reason he's not playing.

Brock may have felt slighted but I bet it was more to do with he would always be compared to Peyton, just as everyone was compared to Elway after he retired. There also the millions of more dollars.

Mark Sanchez on his way to Denver....butt fumble, here we come!

They are saying it will aid in the kaepernick deal, I can only hope, I cannot imagine Elway could have seen him as a viable candidate
I think they'll try to get Manziel. He just got cut.
Either way they'll spend way too much and then kick them to the curb when they dont perform.

Elway wouldn't sign Manziel for $1/year, IMHO. Dude's a head case . . . you're not going to bring that disaster/distraction to a defending SB champ.
Sanchez... lololololololol
What no one else wants to play for a pompous asshole like Elway?

Sanchez could be a good backup and bring some needed veteran maturity to the backfield for whoever ends up playing QB. It's a low risk signing with a decent upside.
Sanchez was brought in on a backup salary, which leads me to believe they may be prepping for an injury prone starter like RG3. There's still hope the 9'ers will release Kaep.

It's bad when you're hoping that Kaep gets released/traded.
