yeah, did the Ravens just overprotect downfield or something? because Peyton was checking down to the dump offs all day.
Champ was getting SMOKED....they isolated him 1 on 1 with the young speedster, and it didn't go well.
Broncos got absolutely no pass rush on Flacco, and when they did blitz, it never got there.
Just to be straight up about it, the Broncos got outplayed today, and Peyton's two interceptions were huge. Broncos only scored 21 points on offense, the other 14 came from Trendin Holiday, who had one helluva game.
Surprised to see Champ Bailey get burned so many times. If Flacco was just a hair more accurate, they would have had a few long TD passes to guys Bailey was covering.

I haven't seen a replay but were the Broncos in a prevent defense at the end of regulation? If they were, I'm guessing someone on that defense knows what a prevent defense means, especially with a guy like Flacco who has one of the strongest arms in football. Peyton screwed up but he wasn't the only one.
Again...they look terrible when it counts...Champ Bailey was burned all through the game...they had the game in the bag....all they needed was one more 1st down-and they punted...why would they think the defense would be able to stop Baltimore when they weren't all through the game? Dumb call and Payton said he was the one that made the decision-WTF! You are Payton Manning?! I was never sold on him anyway (sorry but I wasn't)....

Maybe next year....
screw next year, do you really wanna watch this guy real off 13 wins just to choke in the playoffs. Also, is Champ Bailey receiving a game check as well as Social security? Im not getting any younger and 1997 is getting father and father away. John Elway looks like an old man back there. Hope you guys have more than one NFL team to root for, because as long as it gets cold in the wintertime, PM isn't going to get you to a Superbowl.
Put aside Peyton's bad pass for second...because personally I think its a sh1t happens event...bound to happen eventually especially over the course of a long game.
My point: 35 points is enough to win games. I feel the special teams and the offense did enough. I feel your second ranked defense fell flat. No adjustments to Champ getting steamrolled and that safety...that guy should be cut today. The big plays simply reared its ugly head "too many" times. I am a huge Niners fan, remember last year's painful exit, where one guy kept dropping kicks/punts...still fires me up! Sadly, one or two guys and plays can erase a good team effort. I think that's what happened.
I am confident the Broncos will be back next year. Good luck!
That might have been one of the worst defensive plays in the history of the playoffs. They were breaking it down last night and it was just a mess.
The EXACT same thing happened when the panthers played in atl earlier this season. Total breakdown by the safety w like a minute left to give the game away...
On a positive note your kickoff return guy was freakin amazing....
