You see, that's where you're wrong. The Chefs have had plenty of seasons with #1 or 2 seed only to lose the 1st playoff game.

What happened to you guys' today is everything what it's like to be a Chefs fan.

Sorry, initially I wanted & thought the Broncos would go to the big dance but softened up to see the killer Ray Ray make it one more time. Cause if he don't we're liable to suffer through a Favre process?

WakeUpCall · 01-12-2013, 09:43 PM

On balance it was a good season for you guys, and the last game is never easy. Here in KC we'd have loved something remotely close to this. The Broncos will be back strong next year, and I just hope we can compete with you...

Its a wonder that only you didnt' disappear this past year.

WOW, I'm a chiefs fan and I mean this...what a jerq you are...

It would be one thing if Ray Lewis just destroyed things. If Ed Reed played out of his mind and had 2 picks. But Baltimore kept trying to give us the game and Denver just didn't have the heart to finish it. John Fox didn't have the balls to coach to end it. That's probably the most timid, passive, garbage football I've seen at the end of any game. Once the shock wears off, I'll be taking a vacation from here too. This place will be unbearable for the foreseeable future.

96 was the worst loss. This team went out in typical PM fashion. He's 9-11 in the post season, and had many teams as capable as this one. He can thank Bob Sanders for 3 of those wins. All his best games, and most amazing throws come in the regular season. You should not be surprised. Not a bit.

You gotta love it when the rose colored glasses are left at the door. No homerism whatsoever.

I feel sick - for all the same reasons as everyone else.

Still for me 96 was the worst loss. Its not often you feel like your team really has all the pieces to win a SB. I did this year and I did in 96 as well. However in 96 we has still never won a SB despite 4 attempts(all horribly doomed), the Duke's career was winding down, and despite optimism for the future(which I still have today BTW) injuries, bad luck, etc. can ruin even the best teams seasons.

Overrated my arse. This team deserved to be where it was, it just didn't turn up on the day, you need to bring your A game in the playoffs and that was nowhere near our A game, so many errors this thread wouldn't cover them all.

Ratboy · 01-13-2013, 05:01 AM

Maybe this is the loss we need to come roaring back to win back-to-back Super Bowls, sending Manning into the sunset with his 3rd ring!

spiralism · 01-13-2013, 06:22 AM

This team will never win a thing. I think this will be the defining moment of the Post-Elway era and it'll be a long time before we ever live last night down

rmsanger · 01-13-2013, 06:57 AM

There were alot of problems all over the field from coaching, penalties, pass rush, P_M's costly int....

But the 1 glaring issue is Champ getting rolled, burned, and smoked like a joint all afternoon. He was completely raped on 2 TDs and should have been for a 3rd. He caused a critical PI flag and showed up very little behind.

We all hold this man as one of the best broncos and a future HOFer... However when it came down to crunch time in this man's career he packed it in and fell asleep. I think this says alot about the quality of an athlete and competitor that he is.

Simply he is the Anti-Ray Lewis. Ray is a leader, vocal, and plays with hear and intensity even at an age of diminishing skills and ability. Champ played as a tortoise in a shell that was to scared to come out in the snow. In possibly one of the most important games in his career he played like a Chump.

TonyR · 01-13-2013, 07:02 AM

^ Good post on Champ, although that PI call on him was complete bullsh*t.

The PI call was total BS. It had to be catchable to be PI....it was long and out of bounds...

Lol good post about Champ.... What an idiot

Thank god he's the Anti Ray Lewis, I'd rather my players weren't murderers

Cito Pelon · 01-13-2013, 07:15 AM

It's a shame Champ didn't have a good game. Why was he playing slot so much? Carter was playing LCB a lot.

theAPAOps5 · 01-13-2013, 07:22 AM

Man what a game full of suck. I have just warmed up enough to have the loss settle in. **** do I hate Raheem Moore right now. And Champ, man-o-man, what happened last night?

Such a ****ty end to a great season.

Edit to add that the Bengals might have been the best win, as mentioned by Rev in his thread on same subject.

Seems to me that, aside from the two superbowls, it's usually the Broncos choking at year end. All that happened this year is that the choke was a couple of games later than usual.

I understood '96--Mark Brunell played one of the best games ever played by an NFL quarterback. In '96, we were beat by a one time incredible performance. We didn't beat ourselves.

Yesterday, we weren't beat by anything special--Ravens are a decent (not great) team that played a good (not great) game. The deciding factor in that game was a Broncos team that, aside from their returner, didn't show up to play.

I think the talent was there but the mindset was not. The team, when it needed to, seemed capable of scoring at will. However, if they weren't in need of points, they would play like trash. That made a lot of games much closer scorewise than they appeared. In the earlier games it was a slow start then they'd get firing and score too late. In the later games, it was good point production early then coasting for a bit.

So I think the skill is there for the team to have won the SB but they'd have to overcome the mental stuff. In ATL the team was incapable of figuring out the D and got embarrassed. In NE the hurry up destroyed them and they couldn't respond. Yesterday Holiday was the only one that brought his A game in the biggest game of the season.

Torey Smith and Ray Rice. THAT was what Denver had to stop yesterday. That. And they couldn't.

HAHAHA... I was 18 and cried like biatch after that loss. This loss was no where near as bad as 96 was to me. It hurts a little, about like 2005 AFCCG against Pittsburgh, thought we had a real shot to go all the way both times, but oh well. When the draft rolls around everyone here will be ready and by the time training camp rolls around, everyone here will be Broncomaniacs again.

HighCountryBronco · 01-13-2013, 08:08 AM

I know everyone is pissed right now, but I would rather see the Ravens go to the Superbowl than the Patriots. I will not watch the Superbowl if the Patriots make it again.

And Joe Flacco. I guess he isn't The Sanchize after all. Maybe it was a fluke game on his part, but he did every thing he had to do to win.
