WR's didn't get separation at times. They didn't run block in key situations. Couldn't pound it in from the 2. Sherman fumbled in the red zone. We couldn't touch Manning even playing against a backup LT. Lots of little things just add up and kill you. Manning is maybe the greatest regular season QB of all time... you have to be better than that to beat him.

It was a team loss, but also telling.
Smith deserves about 25% of the blame for that loss. Nevertheless, he reminds me of a starting pitcher who does nothing but throw on the outside corner of the plate. You have to go inside, and you have to be willing to drive the ball into tight spots, but he's afraid, and Denver exploited that fear through most of the game.
