    The one major adjustment I was disappointed didn't happen in the 2nd half. Not like he was getting better each time...

    If he's not a scrub, then he's the goat. I bet Todman wouldn't have fumbled :shrug:

    These types of mistakes are understandable for a 3td string guy who hasn't had any real time play in a while. Hell, without him, take off 6 of the "few" points we got today

    This team got further than I thought they would this yr (esp the defense).

    That being said, I FULLY expect a SB caliber team in the 2016 season !

    I don't think they trade Wheaton 2016 is the last year of his contract, he will probably leave like Sanders did without getting a offer.

    The goat so the D doesn't bear some responsibility for giving up a 3rd and long conversion? How bout all the facemasking that took us out of FG range? I think I recall a few dropped passes. A bunch of misplayed punts. How many times do we run that STUPID bubble screen for no gain...how many times has that damn screen even worked yet we try it 3 or 4 times a game. SMH. Ben misfired on his 1st pass could have been an easy TD.

    Here is another one saying that Todman wouldn't have fumbled is truly baseless and who's to say he would have made even 1/2 the distance. Don't get me wrong he may have run for daylight and saved the game but damn we just really don't know.

    I disagree, Touissant fumble led to a Denver TD that's why he's the goat. I agree about the playcalling Haley didn't call a great game, you have to score more than 1 TD to win.

    This team ran out of gas and all the Broncos players knew it. Take note: when you play at Denver you better get up quick and maintain that lead because if the game is close and physical the thin air will bite you in the butt. That's the dagger the high altitude.

    The fumble cost us in the end. It sucks. I feel awful for the kid. However, if Will Gay intercepted the pass that hit him in the chest on the ensuing drive the outcome might have been different. We would probably be saying the kid stepped up and ran well on the big stage two weeks in a row.

    Bottom line is we didn't get any breaks today and they did.

    Yeah - but is he a "9/11 truther"? Those are the fumblers you need to be concerned about.

    I hate to say it, but I'm ok with Gay's INT drop. It was actually quite well-defensed by Manny... but would have been nice, and most likely a game-changer.

    It is a team sport, but the fact is he IS the goat. He fumbled at the most inopportune time when we were just about to seize control of the game. Had he broken away and had a long touchdown run he would have been the hero. That's the great thing about sports, you can go from triumph to tragedy in a short period of time. Hope he learns from it and moves on.

    Look how close this fumble came to being recovered by a Steeler.

    Well I have been gone all weekend and this is my 1st post on this game. I will say this we were playing this game without Bell and Dwill and playing with out 4th and 5th RB's vs a very good if not the best run D in the NFL. Also we were playing with out maybe the best offensive player in the game in AB and a very hurt QB...........and we were in the game and probably should have won. To even be in that position missing all them guys was great, that doesn't make up for the fumble but listen with out Fitz we don't beat the Bunholes.

    With all that said our D had plenty of time and field position to shut the door and they didn't. The D played a bend don't break game and just couldn't get it done when we needed it most. There is no need to place blame here we lost as a team but I am proud that this team with all the guys were have been missing got this far. I hope we come back healthy and kick some butt next year for #7!!!!!!!!

    Just when it appeared that AV had the ball, the Bronco player broke wind and knocked him back away from the ball. That mozzarella cheese stick flatulence is the worst. :huh::facepalm:

    Where is Dr. Wallace when you need him? Kind of looks like he's going in for the kill.:hehehe:

    He was undrafted for a reason, could have been his small size, 5-9 205 , when he played at michigan he was part of their pinball offense with Denard Washington at QB, but at his small size I dont think he is durable enough to go against NFL defenses week in and week out on a regular basis, hard to see where he fits with only a couple of games to judge him on.....

    I don't get the people that say this if you are talking about the catch. Wasn't there another down if whoever was in didn't make that play? It's like Bengals fans that say we don't win without the helmet to helmet hit. They needed 30 yards with 30 seconds. Not impossible.

    Look at Wallace, totally focused on that bronco's butt.
    Like waving a red cape in front of a bull.

    In theory, we would only get a DB of equal talent, and we need someone better than that.
