Anytime the Patriots lay the smackdown by putting 60+ points on the board. Just so nauseating for me to observe, lol.
While I agree that game sucked, I have to say the live ranting is not a good look for you.
Well let's revisit that...

What a pathetic game. Sure, Broncos defense plays good, but can the offense do nothing all season long?
Blame Peyton Manning, blame the O-line... for being inexperienced? No. Blame Rich Kubiac for not putting an acceptable offense out there.
Cleveland should and probably will win this game.
But what a pathetic game it's been.
Oh looky here. Denver defense to the rescue once again.
Edit: DEMARYIUS THOMAS IS WORTHLESS!
PEYTON MANNING IS WORTHLESS!
SACK! DENVER DEFENSE, STOP BAILING THE OFFENSE OUT.
The Giants won, 10-0. This was the Buccaneers second season. The Giants were god awful this year, and I have no idea how they mustered 5 wins. The Buccaneers had not yet won an NFL game, but they came close in this game. They had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty, and they broke a kick off and a punt return inside the Giants 20. However, they turned the ball over 5 times, and Giants nearly matched them, turning it over 3 times. The two teams had 14 penalties. The only reason the Giants scored a TD was because the Bucs punted, the long snapper snapped it over the punter's head, resulting in the Giants recovering on the 1 yard line. It took the Giants 5 plays, with a penalty called against the Bucs, for the Giants to score a TD. The Bucs had the ball inside Giants territory at least a half a dozen times, and couldn't score a point.
If you research the Giants QB play during this period, 1977 and 1978, you will see some of the worst boxscores for QBs ever recorded. Most of the time, even in defeat, it was rare for a Giants QB to have over 15 attempts or over 150 yards passing in a game.
Being a Jets fan since they were the NY Titans it's hard to say, there's far too many to choose from.
Thanks for updating the thread Burdell!
December 5, 1971--Bears at Broncos---Broncos won 6-3--nasty weather conditions coming in that evening. Both clubs were beyond bad, here are the stats---
Passing--
Bears--Bobby Douglass-6 for 25 for 50 yards--2 picks-was sacked 9 times
Broncos--Steve Ramsey-8 for 16 for 81 yards--2 picks-was sacked 3 times
Bad stats to say the least. Mac Percival of the Bears made one field goal and missed two--one hit the left upright and the other hit the right upright. Denver's Jim Turner was two for four. at kickoff the wind was 15 mph, by the third quarter it was nasty!
Thank God for the Broncos Floyd Little , he rushed for 125 yards his O-line wasn't the best, trust me.
I was there. Almost 50 years ago, yes. Heh, I remember nothing but futility on both clubs. Chicago at that time was 6-5. But the Bears laying a big egg was understandable. It was only 6 days previous on November 30th that ABC premiered the movie "Brian's Song." There was several Bears players and coaches who were in that movie as well.
But all wasn't lost altogether. That evening me and 3 high school buddies went to the Denver Coliseum. The Who had just released the LP "who's Next" a few weeks earlier. And the Who played a GREAT GREAT CONCERT that night!!

Packers vs Lions. Like 1962. Played in mud on Thanksgiving if I remember right. 26-12 Lions. Bart Starr got sacked like 11 times or so. Lions forced 5 turnovers and the Packers gained only a little over 100 yds. A really sad performance. But GB won the championship that year and the loss to the Lions their only one that year.

There are a fair amount of things I remember as a kid and that game was one of them. Roger Brown of the Lions had seven sacks that day and it was an NFL record that stood for years. Sadly, he passed a couple days ago at 84.
Thinking back to those days, it only they had a playoff format back then Detroit would have been a wild card team, that year IIRC they finished 11-3. And the Packers during the 1960's always had their hands full with Detroit. the Lions D had some solid talent--to name a few Alex Karras, Joe Schmidt, Dick LeBeau, Wayne Walker, Dick "Night Train" Lane, and others. also Yale Lary, a HOFer and a hell of a punter!!
I think I read that 5 of those guys from the Lions defense were in HOF.
