What a kick in the teeth.
After last night and this, I officially hate football again.

Of course couldn't catch a break with Fins winning and still in play with an easy game next week. Still control own destiny against Chiefs back-ups. Please let's get in.
I don't expect we'll make noise if we make playoffs but it'll pay big dividends for Nix and young team moving forward.

Neutral party here hoping Broncs make it as well...I did see some positing that KC starters might benefit from playing at least a half since they'll be coming off of a mini-bye and will then have the bye week for round 1 of the playoffs. That said, might not want to risk that against a Broncos team that is going to come out hungry.

Really thinking about taking my boy, loves the Broncos, to see this one.
For Christmas, he asked for (got) a Bo Nix jersey and one with his name on it.

Well, here we go boys. Win or go home, no in between, no way to back in.

Why oh why don't they wear these uniforms every week?

Bengals sad!!

BOOM!

Surely we won't be the first game Saturday, aka the Houston playoff time slot.
I'm guessing early Sunday spot.

Noon Sunday per ESPN.

I don't see how they would ever lose. NFL wouldn't allow it.

Playoff time! Let's make a run.

Great start!

Man we moved to denver in 2012, so it was easy to fall in love with the Broncos and their consecutive division championships and superbowl appearances with 1 win.

Can't believe 9 years just flew by since I'm watching the broncos in January again.

Go Broncos!

Hoping that doink doesn't come back to bite them. Nice to see Nix and the offense get them in position for the kick though. That's something to build on.

Never heard so much crying over a missed call than that one. Geez I've seen about 5 on their line.

The defender turned his head and I thought the shoulder pads hit first followed by side of the helmet to the side of the helmet. Frankly the targeting rules have been so fluid in the NCAAs and NFL, I have no idea if it is a targeting penalty

Sure looks incomplete to me

BS, the ball was still moving after his foot hit out of bounds. In the field of play that's a catch, there he was out before firm control.

Yes, it felt like the announcers were focusing on the wrong thing. The ball was definitely moving , if not trapped altogether

At the end of the day, Nix and the offense have been a no show against an average at best defense.

SP did Bo no favors putting him in 3rd and long all game long. Receivers dropped 3 (?) passes that would have been converted.
Really seeing who doesn't know what it takes with guys like Laughlin and Vele giving up on plays.

Bronocos did a good job hanging in the first half with a far superior team.

That's a wrap.
Supposed we should be happy being ahead of schedule and having our QB off the future.
Greatly exceeded expectations
Hoping we make the right moves this offseason.

They had their chances, but had to play perfect to win up there.

Offseason Needs

Offense:
Draft Loveland or Warren at TE with first round pick, if either is available
Won't happen, but a younger OC to call plays (Payton's great with personnel and scheming, but in-game play calling is detrimental)
Upgrade at Center (losing at point of attack is obvious)

Defense
Upgrade over PJ Locke at FS
Resign DJ Jones and Cody Barton
Add a young run-stuffing DT (preferably Walter Nolen)
Draft/sign a CB to compete with Riley Moss
