Why would anyone watch this agony? I still hate Brunell to this day and our defenses inability to ever tackle him.

So one really ****ed up moment for the Broncos wasn't enough, we need to see the worst loss in franchise history again now?

That pass interference call was horse ****.
I've probably posted that 1000 times, here.
It's maybe the single worst call I've seen in a playoff game ever, and I believe to this day that it absolutely changed the course of NFL history.
We were on our way to scoring on that drive and I believe that would have put us up by at least two TDs. At that point, we could have given them a big dose of TD and the rout would have been on. (See the following year.)
Give, we had other chances in the game... but that call literally made it a different game. It's by far the most painful call I've ever had to live with as a fan.
Perfectly played, and some ****-nut ref just had to get some face-time.

(What I meant is that we would have been in scoring position, at least a FG... but the way we were running early, likely a TD.)

That was an epic hair puller. The gods of war ****ed us over big time.

I was there at the game and I am constantly haunted by the memory. Hell no I would not watch it unless I was in hell strapped to a chair and forced to watch it over and over.

If reviews must exist, Pass Interference needs to be included in what can be reviewed. Screw the "slippery slope" whiners.

Same. As I sat in the South Stands watching this game unfold, I just couldn't believe what was happening. This should have been the year of our first SB win on our way to the 3-peat. Even with winning back-to-back SB's, I'm still not over this loss.

It was so bad I couldn't watch it for more than a min, just bad bad.
How in the hell does a zebra make that call? what the hell was he looking at.

I was there, and it was horrible. I seriously have completely purged that game from my brain. Never watched a tape of it, and I never will.

i am not so sure that we would have 3-peated. I tend to think if we went to super bowl XXXI, John might have hung it up following that game. I think this abomination of a game, gave John the desire to play longer. It re-lit the fire and got him going again. Although i could be wrong, but i just always have thought he would have left had we won SB XXXI

wasn't this the Michael Dean Perry strolling off the field game?

Yep,
I think that was worse than the interference call as it was the 1st stop and had we scored it would have given us a better chance.

I spent almost two thousand dollars at the bar after that game.
I don't need to see it again.

That game was the last time I've been to Mile High (old or new)
Anyone notice that in most of the Broncos games E!SPN or NFLN replays, its games that Denver loses? NFLN loves to show that Raiders game in the snow that we lost.

I know it was probably insignificant in the end, but why the hell did we go for two on that second TD? They blocked our first PAT, so we would have gone up by only 13, but it was the 1st quarter. We didn't convert the two, so it was only 12-0 and Jax kicked a field goal soon after to make it a 9 instead of 10 point game. Is it only recently that coaches have realized it's stupid to even attempt going for two until much much later?
