Interesting that they let your team almost kill Cam Newton with late, violent hits, none of which were called...and now they wont let them even breathe on a QB.

Interesting indeed, especially since kicking FGs is a lot easier from greater distances at that altitude... maybe the kickers suck? I believe SD's was a rookie - not sure if he's in the league anymore. Jano is like 57 years old and looks to be 270 lbs.

We've covered this one... the fumble that wasn't declared a fumble could have been reviewed, Carrol tried doing so and didn't do it fast enough. I'll have to go find the clip on YT, but I recall watching it live and it was not an obvious call to make live. Maybe they review it and they reverse it ... not Denver's fault for hurrying up to the get the next play off, that's what most teams do in those situations.
I've agreed that I didn't think DT's touchdown was legit... they consulted, made a change to the initial call and review confirmed it. I've seen plenty of calls reversed in that situation. You want a conspiracy theory, so run with it. Maybe the NFL will announce the refs screwed up as they did in the PIT/CLE game.
Again, I'm of the opinion that at 1st and goal at the 4... incredibly likely that Denver scores a TD on 2nd, 3rd or 4th if they go for it

No doubt about that... the kid got loose in broken coverage and exploited them, just as Lockett did on his TD. That happened last year and again, for as long as I can remember - I've seen many opposing TEs play well vs DEN. Kelce and guys like him will chew them up.

Meh... SEA had 15 drives, of which 9 consisted of 3 or fewer plays. Only 4 drives were longer than 2 minutes. Locket and Dissly broke them a few times. But overall, they didn't have many consistent drives.
Two of Keenum's INTs gave SEA the ball with 15 and 41 yards to go to the endzone, those resulted in rather short field scores - which is to be expected when you turn the ball over on that side of the field.
Ugly win overall - I've never painted it as greatness. They won because of the defense, the ground game providing a consistent threat and some solid plays in the passing game. The turnovers were nearly the difference...
