No push from Pearson. That play was clean. Get over it Viking haters.

The NFL salary cap is $120 million. Peyton Manning makes an average of $19 million per season. Champ Bailey makes an average of $11 million per season. How are you supposed to afford a safety better than Rahim Moore when you have two players combining to make $30 million which leaves you $90 million to pay the other 50+ players on your roster? When you make $30 million, you have to play better than the players who make $1 million or less and carry the team.

Keep the Racism out of it. There were alot of things done wrong by the broncos. Peytons int’s, Bailey getting beat constantly, and coaching to go to overtime. P.S.- the guy who caught the winning touchdown is African-American and was thrown to by a white guy.

When Manning left the field, the Broncos had the lead, what else can he do?? Horrible defensive mistakes, Champ Bailey was getting killed all night, Rahim Moore with the most un-athletic play a safety could make. This is just like in Indy, last playoff loss to the Jets, Manning drives the offense down field, kick a field goal to take the lead and the special teams allow a 60 yd run back and then the defense plays prevent to allow the great Marc Sanchez to complete 3 or 4 passes to get them into field goal range to win the game.

Peyton manning throws the game losing INT, Calls a kneel down with time and timeouts before end of the game and audibles into a 3-7 run (which is mind boggling that alone). He gets a 40 million dollar raise , his OC (whos as much to blame as peyton) gets a new job……………………meanwhile the safety who was most likely told keep the WR in front of you badly misplays a ball and bad play from champ bailey all game , and the coach loses his job . Ironic huh
____________________________________

Losing int wouldn’t have happened without moore, definitely wasn’t his kneel down call (that would b the coach), and the 3 an7 also wasn’t his call according to Denver. Don’t get me wrong Peyton gets his fare share of the blame but at least get it right. Ive seen playoff games that Peyton blew but this was more on the so called top 5 D

Why is the cornerback not getting any criticism? I get that he had the underneath coverage, but he shouldn’t have let Jones get so far behind him that he wasn’t even able to tackle him after jones had to stop for the ball.

What a mess in Denver. They should fire the head coach. The reason that the Broncos didn’t try with 31 seconds left is cause Manning can’t throw deep when it’s cold. Again, though, fire the head coach.

Sure Manning made some mistakes. However I dont put the blame on him.

The offense with some help from special teams put up 35 points.
The defense failed numerous times to stop a mediocre offense. Other then Ray Rice Baltimore isnt an offensive power house.

Also have to blame Fox for not going for the first down late in the fourth quarter when they had a lead.

Briang123 you stupid ignorant dush.

I blame the man who “grossly misplayed an underthrown ball, jumping too soon and flailing like a blindfolded kid trying to implode a piñata hanging three feet higher than his stick can reach” a little more, regardless of color.

I love Obama, but can’t stand idiots like you who pull out a race card most likely to explain why you fail at life.

There are plenty of successful individuals of every color in this world, and hey, white chicks in eastern europe in the sex slave trade have it as bad as anybody.

Equality is here. The world is full of idiots. Quit making colorful excuses dummy.

if you recall,opening day,steelers mike wallace was getting behind the other corner,bailey wouldnt even take him,and wallace was a finger tip on an underthrown bomb away from toasting denvers other corner in denver too.and one or two other shots down field on bailey and the other guy were overthrown and off target,otherwise everyone wouldve known sooner denvers corners could be beat with just straight 9 routes.

Nah, the cowardly decision to take a knee with a Hall of Fame QB and two timeouts left had NOTHING to do with the loss whatsoever.

Yep, it’s all the secondary coaches fault not John Fox’s horrible coaching decisions… what a joke.

Wait a minute, Milus gets canned because Champ Baily got SMOKED all day long???!!! Last I checked Milus can’t backpedal “for” him ! Milus doesn’t call the coverages that’s up to the DC, hell why not just fire him instead. LOL

I love how people say its the Safetys fault or Manning or Bailey’s.bottom line its not one persons fault its the entire teams fault. This team picked the wrong game to have a total meltdown. From the many penalties to Champ getting burned for two touchdowns to Miller & Doom getting zero pressure. Yes even Manning made mistakes. The coaches also made poor decisions as well. Listen the Ravens did what was needed and the Broncos as a team imploded ar the worst possible time. They will all learn from this and make adjustments.
This is in no way one players fault. This is not the first team to fall apart an it wont be the last. Just about every single team has gone through this even in the playoffs. Changes will be made as other teams have made and they willl learn from it. This team still needs defensive tackles and corners an a middle linebacker as well. The past two year have shown improvement an next year should be the same.

you said “First tebow, then Milus, who is the next Bronco employee that will lose his job due to Payton Manning? Maybe Elway, if they go 1 and done again. Knowing Payton’s track record, it’s a good possibility. Haha!”

yes you are soooo right. I could not agree with you more. several people are being axed due to Peyton Manning. That would be like if my dean lost his job because of one of my colleagues (i am a professor). The whole thing makes no sense. How many more people will lose their job because of Peyton. Tebow lost his because Peyton wanted to be KING, and did not want a backup. Milius loses his job because Elway does not want it to look like recruiting Peyton was a bad decision so he fires Milius the secondary coach. maybe next Fox will go. LOL

Fire Chump Bailey and Peyton in Orange reminds us all how he could never win the big game in college either. Good news is this is as good as it’s gonna get for Horseteeth Elway!! KARMA from the City of Baltimore!

If he got fired for the play of the DBs (in that game), that is unfair. However, what we don’t know is what he said to whomever before, during, or after that play…..or after the game. Perhaps it was something the coach said/did after the game. Maybe he called out other coaches. Maybe we will find out…maybe we won’t.

What a knee-jerk, heat-of-the-moment, bad decision. Fox is a coward for not accepting responsibility for the defeat himself. That sort of thing is not lost on other coaches and players, who undoubtedly lost any respect they had for him.

Underthrown ball? Flacco threw that ball 60 yards in the air. Not sure if you can throw it too much farther.

Gotta love bronco logic. Last year when they won they gave all the credit to the d and not Tebow. This year they win and it is all because of Peyton but choke in the playoffs and blame the defense and not noodle arm. The ravens dared him to beat them deep and he could not so they were ready for his shory game. But by all means blame the #1 defense. Tebow 1 manning and broncos 0!

He’s what Emmitt Smith famously called “an escape goat”

I would then assume that after the game they all headed over to the “scrip club”?

first of all Peytons first int the pick 6, should have been called PI which was blatant. As for the fumble, that shoulda been rules an incomplete pass, his arm was clearly moving forward. That last int tho, all on him. I believe the DB coach was let go cuz of the problems we had covering tight ends and the overall ineptitude of our safeties all year. Mike Adams made some good plays but neither him Leonhard or Moore made and impact all season. The technique by Moore was deplorable by even middle school standards. He should be cut for that, but maybe it lights a fire under his ass and he comes back stronger. That being said Milus did a hood job with Chris Harris and Tony Carter, which brings me too my next point. Why wasnt Harris or Carter put on Smith? Younger faster DBs and Harris is physical, coulda done a better job jammin Smith at the line. I say move Champ to free safety. Gives us a playmaking safety who can cover tight ends. Put Harris and Tracy Porter on the outside with Carter in the Nickel. And yeah the Broncos just called looks like im the new DB coach haha

Moore and Champ Bailey were the reason that game was lost, they were both horrible. The coach
has to take the flak for that mess, so he’s fired today. Maybe send Moore and Bailey packing too.

The Broncos have vastly overspent on starts, leaving gaping holes that should have been filled by capable role players. Their 11-game win streak was largely due to playing in the worst division in the history of football. They were exposed in this game as having terribly overrated personnel on both sides of the ball. If it weren’t for Trindon Holliday’s 2 amazing kick returns, this game would have been a complete blowout.

Call me when Elway fires himself.

You spend your whole career teaching or being taught that “one bad play did not lose the game, the total team effort over 60 minutes was what lost the game” and then Fox pulls this crap.

By: gergie1957

Why didn’t Fox fire the QB coach for Peyton’s int in overtime. Ron Milus didn’t lose that game Peyton Manning did.
