Denver Broncos Offseason Thread

[I-Hate-You]

I thought you'd never ask

How about one of the following:

So close yet so far--the 2014 Broncos offseason thread

So cold in the D--the 2014 Broncos offseason thread

Picking up the pieces in the Mile High City--the 2014 Broncos offseason thread

Well...that was embarrassing--2014 Broncos offseason thread

We all need some weed after that
--the 2014 Broncos offseason thread

At least we're not the Raiders--the 2014 Broncos offseason thread

I agree with just about everyone in this thread. A truly awful showing on the biggest stage in the world. Smh. urgh.

From the jump it went bad.

The coin flip... Broadway Joe getting it picked off by the ref was an omen. If it landed in our favor, we defer... just like we have ALL season. The D gets a big stop and Manning comes out for the first series with a little confidence. But nope, we receive. What happens after that? fukking Trindon returns the kick off from the god damn back of the end zone and only gets to like the 12 or 13.

Then we all know what follows. Murphy's law truly existed that night. EVERYTHING went against us. I literally did not cheer for my team one time in that game. Do you know how pathetic that is? I couldnt yell, clap, cheer, be happy, excited... nothing. For the WHOLE game. Was it me, or did Manning look completely shook and discombobulated from the get go?
I credit Seattle though. Thats a team with heart and a championship pedigree. I salute them.

A couple posts about changing the offense is spot on. We cannot get any better on O than we were this year. So... we have to devise an offense thats more balanced, no doubt. For those playoff pushes. Manning is going to get older/slower/weaker. Its just a natural fact. Next year we'll see what he and Gase come up with.

For as many injuries as we had on defense, it'll be interesting to see us back at full strength. Safety play HAS to get better. Either Irving or a draft pick or a FA will be starting as mike. Our secondary needs help. That'll probably be the direction we go in the first round. That or MLB.

Decker is a good 2 but he'll get paid like a 1. He's gone. I'd like to keep KnoMO. He and Ball play well together. But if he does walk, so be it. Champ has to restructure. There is no way Elway has him come back with as high as his salary is. I'd hope that Manning shows that he really wants to win one more and restructure his contract as well.

It'll be an interesting off season fellas. I salute my bronco brethren. It was a good season albeit a disappointing end. To '14!!

The night before the game, true story , I had a nightmare we lost in embarrassing fashion. I told my dad and brothers all week it was a bad match up but I thought we could still win. We will get a chance for some revenge next season in Seattle. Season tix about to be due, hurts to have to bust open the wallet but I'll always be a bronco fan.

If he wanted to win like that he would have sign with the most talented team

He took the money. Why would his philosophy all of sudden change?

Peyton wasn't going to the NFC to compete with Eli

it seems a lot of people don't know this but it was well known around indy sports circles

So peyton would rather lose SB's in the AFC then possibly win them being on a better team in the NFC

If San Fran could have offered him the most money he would have went there.

That playing in the NFC was a contrived media storyline

Champ gone Had to happen, it was time To one of the greats

shyt is ether to my soul breh, dude is my favorite player of all time......I hate it had to be him

But being honest this was best for the team, we have young promising safeties that he shouldnt start over, and 2 real good dbs who he shouldnt play over, we need this defense right asap tho, and to add balance to our offense

Basically. He'll retire a Bronco. But there is still a horrible taste in my mouth from the Superbowl and us letting him down. Smh. To a healthy end of his career... wherever that may be. 24!!

Best of luck to Champ. He gonna retire a Bronco no matter what. I just wished he got a ring with us. at the Vegas inspired loss...Yea it was a Vegas call..Safety on the first play? ehh i dont wanna think about it.

Just an overall utter embarassment. Doesnt mean I'm not gonna ride with 'em next year. So close though.
