Indy was 'this just wasn't your day'
Denver was 'you don't belong here.'

That's why I'm tired of hearing about the injuries, pretty much every team takes big injury hits and the good ones don't let it keep them down for long... Denver didn't have Talib or their bigshot tight end.
We have a deeper team than last year that's now well into its second year in this system, there just isnt any viable excuse to look the way they did in this game.

The offense was so stale, I thought I was watching a Herm Edwards game plan.  |
Charles, Davis and Thomas... three of our four most explosive players were barely involved in the gameplan, it was an absolute abortion, very Herm/Solari-like indeed.
