Ignore the pic at the end of the game, the fact his special teams spotted him 14 points... Keep blaming the defense when his play is obviously one of the biggest reasons they lost. Like I said, Denver was the new Indy, looks great in the regular season, loses in the playoffs.

[quote=donofriose;988010]That is why Peyton is considered a bad playoff QB, that was a terrible decision and a terrible throw.[/quote]

Sure, it was a bad pass, but he shouldn't even be in OT. Was it him that gave up a bomb TD to tie the game?

Was it Manning that allowed shitty ass Flacco to torch them for 3 TDs and look like a all-star?


Again, one person can't do it all. That defense let him down big time.


If that were RGIII, you all would be crying to fire Haslett.

It just proves that a good pass rush makes the whole defense better. The Broncos have been a good at getting to the opposing QB's all season and today they didn't and their secondary got exposed.

Re: Around the league divisional weekend
 

I think both Manning and the Defense(specifically Bailey) blew the game, and just as much Baltimore stayed in it, and won it.

Re: Around the league divisional weekend
 

Good for the Ravens. If they play the Pats next week I'll be pulling for them. If they're playing the Texans, I'm rooting for a good game because I like both teams. Amazing how it ended for Peyton tonight. I think equal blame can be assigned to the defense for blowing it and for the offense' turnovers. I honestly thought with how conservative Baltimore was playing offensively that the only reason they might win the game would be getting a turnover in Denver territory.

This is something I can agree with. I think they both played poorly.

If RG3 threw a pick 6, if RG3 fumbled the ball away with a lead, if the team spotted him 14 points with special teams, and to top it off he threw a pick in overtime to put them pretty much in field goal range in a playoff game... I highly doubt I would ask to fire Haslett.

I will agree with this. The Denver defense and Peyton Manning lost them this game.

Re: Around the league divisional weekend
 

Not sure why Manning tried to throw that one pass where he was rolling out and he was throwing it across his body. Thought he'd be smarter and throw that away. That was crucial. Almost as bad a play as a defense (in prevent mode) allowing a deep pass to go for a TD.

Re: Around the league divisional weekend
 

And that is the reason why Brady is better than Manning. How many times has Manning thrown an INT in the playoffs? Enough to lose like 3-4 times.

Ravens will win the Super Bowl now. They're the only playoff team remaining that lost to the Skins during the Regular season.

We normally beat the Super Bowl winner.

I hope Houston, Baltimore or Atlanta wins it. A lot of deserving players on those teams. And Houston and ATl has never won it

Yeah, it was crazy that Baltimore was able to get deep bombs for TDs at the end of each half. Worse than the Cruz play if you ask me. No way that you aren't telling your deep safety not to let anything get behind you.

Manning was looking tired by OT. I don't think he threw many passes further than 10-15 yds in the 2nd half. They also struggled on 3rd and shorts for as well as their running game was doing.

I hope either Ravens or Falcons, only because I placed bets in Vegas before the season started. I also bet on Bengals and Redskins too, it would have been a good payout for these two bets.
