Manning's rag arm

[cdcox]

Maybe he hasn't fully recovered from his time off. Maybe he comes back next year rejuvenated and on fire at age 37.

But today he was Mr. Dink and Dunk. He had a couple of 15 yard TDs that were nice, but they were placement throws, not lasers. On two throws late in the game, the pass to Stokely that was reviewed in the first overtime, and the game losing INT, he clearly didn't get as much on the ball has he wanted to. The mind was willing but the arm was a dish rag.

Maybe it was because it was late in the game, late in the season and in cold weather coming off an injury. But even ignoring his normal playoff chokatude, his arm was really sub par today.

that ST argument is bullshit

yes, they helped Denver

but YOU NEVER KNOW how the game would have turned had he not returned those kicks

maybe the Broncos are down 24-21 with the ball and 2 minutes left in regulation?

no one ****ing knows

so saying they would have lost by double digits without those returns is just ignorant, and I don't get why people don't understand a simple concept like "the butterfly effect"

even Ashton Kutcher gets it

3. The piss poor coverage and angle Moore took on the TD pass to Jones. Just...wow.
4. Manning's awful INT throw in OT to seal the game.

Everything went wrong for the Broncos in the last 5 mins and OT of that game. Ravens had some calls bounce their way to be fair, but the Broncos failed to capitalize on several opportunities to win it...

Much revelry in their loss, but they lost because of mistakes, not because they were beat by a better team. Still have to play them 2x next year and still the most balanced team in AFCW.

But yea, for The Bronco Homers, crickets!

What is sad for Denver is they had 2 kick returns and LOST.

the butthurt is strong with this one

Dick Vermeil can't compute. He had his stats and percentages which indicated if a team will win or lose.

This one was off the charts.

If you'll notice, I said "this season."

They are the first team to lose a playoff game that had both a kickoff and punt return TD in the same game.
