Now I KNOW you're just trolling.

The argument for overpaying Matt Prater was that he made these type of kicks easily. It was an argument many people here made.

One of the teams we beat was the Ravens. And we beat them decisively.

No, no it wasn't.

He has kicked well from long distance in the past, but he has never kicked one in conditions that bad before.

When Denver hit their stride, they annhilated teams. We werent just getting by, we ****ing killed them. We lost a game we should have won in the playoffs, in arctic tempertures when pretty much EVERY SINGLE THING went wrong in the game, and they still needed a prayer.

Im so ****ing sick of this "we got to the same point as last year" argument. Football isnt played in vacuums and sample sizes are small. If this years broncos team played the Tebow lead won and you had to bet your life on it, you'd pick Peyton's broncos a hundred times out of a hundred.

No way to prove that.

Def not easy, but he wouldnt have made that kick from five yards haha

We had :31 seconds to do something, in regulation. What did we do? Take a knee? We hadn't been able to stop them, all game. Why take a chance, in overtime? THAT is the play that will haunt me, forever (not the Rahim Moore play)...

Oh cool, I assume there's a good consolation prize for that, right?

The Broncos lost to 2/3 of the other AFC semi-finalists in the regular season, and lost the only game against them that mattered.

They beat the Ravens in the midst of an overhaul of their offense. Once that overhaul was complete, the Ravens were an entirely different team and they blew the Broncos away at home.

I know im in the minority, but i dont blame us for sitting on it. It was 30 seconds, going into the wind (right after the entire place just deflated), and it was like sitting in a freezer at that point.

If you give Fox the opportunity to replay that moment, perhaps he goes for it. But he's human and gave into emotion and, at that point, he was shell shocked.

Yes. The game was only that close because of two kick returns for a touchdown. Those will always be flukes, you cannot rely upon them.

The Ravens were the better team for five quarters and played the better game and anyone that disputes this is delusional.

IS this Armchair Bronco? It has nothing to do with famous or not. Moore had one simple job, Bailey's job wasn't as easy as "Don't let the receiver get behind you." How hard is that?

Fox is a coward and always will be a coward.

The didn't really "overhaul" their offense. They were pretty much still running the same offense. One big difference I would concede, however, is that they were healthier in the playoffs and had revamped their O-line.

Is there a former user of this board I haven't been accused of being yet?

I'm everyone, and I'm noone. You'll never get an answer to your question.

What game were you watching? The one I watched had the broncos beat themselves a bunch and then still were in a position to win the game (with a 97 percent win chance) until Rahim Moore epically ****ed up.

Yeah, Baltimore BLEW US AWAY.

You must be a miserable person.

, if you subscribe anything other than variance to the kick returns you're delusional.

Great. So if we didn't get the returns, I'd agree with you. It would've been a blowout. But WE DID get them. And they counted. The game went to OT. By definition, it wasn't a blowout. Sorry.

Not a compliment. Just another guy that likes to argue for the sake of arguing. Another lawyer wannabe.

Special teams are part of the game. We played them well, they didn't. So we clearly outplayed them on those returns. We also were on the wrong end of several close/bad calls by the officials, and made one giant mistake that allowed them to tie the game in regulation on a garbage prayer of a play.

When you're evaluating the standard of play displayed by the Broncos it absolutely was a blow out.

If the Broncos continue to play like that in games against good teams they won't win jack ****.

Variance? If that's your argument, then you have to acknowledge that statistically, 2 kick returns happen in a game more often than the Rahim Moore play does.

Take all three away and the Broncos still lose.

Youre discussing variance on kick returns but not long bombs and oddly called penalties? Why does one suggests skill and the other doesn't. You're picking **** to fit your argument.
