Guy is a true winner. Should have kept him as a backup to Manning and started him in OT. Just my 2 cents. 

 

Yes, should have kept Tebow as a cheerleader so that he could have gotten that D to close the deal in regulation, yep agree on that front. :)

Snowglobe may be trollish ...but the fact remains Broncos with Tebow 1-1 in the playoffs.  Broncos with Peyton Manning 0-1 in the playoffs.  It is what it is.  Unfortunately.  How many excuses will some people continue make for Peyton's annual post season nose dive death spiral?  At least it wasn't the Horseshoe upside his head this time around.

It is obvious to me that Andrew Luck could have won today with that Broncos o line and run game......

 

I also was told all season on this forum that the Broncos o line/receivers/run game/TEs/defense/special teams/coaching were top notch/elite/best around and this was a done deal to pound the silly has been Ravens who had no shot cause Peyton owns them and to play Brady for the right of GOAT status in the AFC title game.

I hope we get to play the Broncos in the playoffs next year.....

Weather you like it or not, Tebow actually won in Mile High in the playoffs. Something Manning didn't do after that 11 game win streak.

 

It is almost good to lose 1 or 2 games in your last 3 games of your regular season to go on a run in the postseason, it seems like. The odds favor those kinds of teams who dont get complacent.

LOL you sound like my best friend..also a Colts fan.  I think we should be better equipped defensively to deal with them next year after an offseason to build up the defense.  I didn't really want to play them this year though because Peyton would have cleaned our clocks...we weren't ready for him yet IMO.    Next year it's on though.

I wanted to play them this year. That was the biggest disappointment from last week. As a team the Colts overachieved once they broke .500. Everything else was icing on the cake and I was just happy to be in the playoffs. But if we got past the Ravens, we could have beaten the Broncos as well

Agree. I wanted Denver to blow it vs. us but at the same time I was not as confident after last weekend with our youth movement heading to Denver and then likely getting pummeled by the refs or something.

 

Next year though I think we will be ready to take anyone on.

THIS^^^^^

 

The last time the Chargers were in the playoffs, I think it was 2009, we had won 11 in a row, finished with a 13-3 record and had a bye game with a home playoff against the Jets.  Serious complacency cost us.  Stupid, childish penalties and temper tantrums - several players had gotten too big for their britches.  VJ was stopped by the police for driving without a license on the way to the game... after having been arrested for a DUI earlier in the season. 

 

I'd much rather a team go into the playoffs a little "scared" than thinking they're a lock.

Unfortunately this argument carries with it the fact that Peyton, and Tim's seasons both ended in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Can't really knock Manning for putting in his work in the regular season and getting his team a bye I.E. a "win" in the wildcard round.

When you play the Browns, Bucs, and the Raiders & Chiefs twice, you can look pretty good.

 

They played 12 teams this year with a losing record. 12!

I know the Steelers were banged up last year but my God........that was some pathetic D they had vs. Tebow and they never seemed to adjust. They pretty much gave NE back to back bye weeks.

 

Oh and yeah, been hinting all year NE would carve up this Broncos team and it was not cause I was "rooting" for NE but it was just something that seemed obvious to me. They would have again in Denver carved them up like the previous 3 times. You all know this deep down and knew it. I swear I read Denver is the worst team in the league at times defending TEs despite their high overall ranking. Brady would have carved them up with Gronk and Hernandez and he only had one there in the meeting this season.

 

Oh and that thin air thing is crap too to me. Why in the world should that hurt professional athletes on very good football teams in the biggest games? The air is the air. You adjust to it. Been to Denver, didn't take long to adjust.

Kudos to Peyton for what he does in the regular season. But that has never been the knock on the guy...it's his post season history.  A bye is just that a bye and is not a playoff win so to speak.  In actual on the field action in the post season, Tebow got it done once in a Bronco's uni and Peyton can't say the same...unfortunately.  It really is as simple as that.

Hence the quotes around win.

And lets be real this season was a huge improvement for the Broncos as a whole. They got a bye, and if not for horribly blown coverage, are probably going to the AFCCG. Tebow didn't even sniff winning in the divisional round. They go destroyed.

Even with Mannings playoff struggles his record dwarfs Tim's in every way.

Anyway you slice it, Tebows wildcard win or Peyton's first round bye, the result is identical. Aside from one getting blown out and the other not.

End result for the Broncos was the same.  But the end result on Peyton's post season resume is another black mark aka loss.  Tebow provided a feel good post season moment for the Mile High fans where as Peyton fell short of that.  Fortunately for 18 he still has a few more years left to try and rectify that.

Again comparing Tim and Peyton's records post season is just silly. Tim's win in the wildcard did nothing Peyton's bye didn't. So why so much emphasis on it? Because Tim managed 1 playoff win wearing the color orange?

Peyton provided them with 11 straight wins, and a legitimate chance to win the Superbowl. Tim won a game against a ravaged Steelers D, and then got dismantled by New England.

Poll Denver fans and I'm pretty certain they feel more optimistic about Peyton moving forward, than Tim.

Poll them right now and they'd probably say they want Tebow back!   lmao  So I'd give it a few weeks.

 

Comparing what Peyton and Tebow did in the post season is not silly.  Post season is an entirely different animal from the regular season.  The stakes are higher and the pressure intensifies.  We all know that Peyton is the much better overall quarterback but the guy is post season challenged.  As Broncos, Tebow has had better results in the playoffs thus far.  Tebow 1-1 for a .500 winning percentage.  Peyton Manning 0-1 for a .000 winning percentage.  I'd rather win in the post season than the regular season.  Tebow is a lesser quarterback but he has responded better to the stress of the post season than Bronco Peyton.  In his first post season game,Tebow threw a game winning touchdown pass to win a playoff game in overtime for the Broncos, something Peyton has never done in his entire post season career.  Peyton had his chance in overtime today and we all saw what happened...again.  (sigh)

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Two_pound · Posted

      He won 't be a starter, but Carlies is going to get a lot of defensive snaps this year. The surprise starter- Bortolini at right guard. Mitchell will be starting, but that won 't be a surprise. Go Colts, this team is loaded!

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      The Colts have a long list of upcoming 2025 Free Agents:   Colts 2025 Free Agents: OC Ryan Kelly SS Julian Blackmon TE Mo Alie-Cox DT Taven Bryan RG Will Fries 8m SLB Ronnie Harrison 2.4m Edge Dayo Odeyingbo 6m WLB EJ Speed TE Kylen Granson 5m QB Joe Flacco TE Eric Tomlinson WR Ashton Dulin OC Danny Pinter Edge Genard Avery CB Dallis Flowers – RFA Round 1 tender 6.945m / Round 2 tender 4.978m CB Darrell Baker Jr. RFA LG Wesley French RFA QB Sam Ehlinger RB Trey Sermon RG Jack Anderson WR Juwann Winfree WR Tyrie Cleveland WR DJ Montgomery RFA MLB Segun Olubi ERFA 960k / worth 1.4m CB Chris Lammons LG Arlington Hambright RFA – cut RT Lewis Kidd ERFA 960k LB Grant Stuard – cut RB Tyler Goodson ERFA 960k LG Josh Sills RFA – cut LB/Edge Isaiah Land ERFA – 960k resign SLB Cameron McGrone ERFA – cut DB Trevor Denbow ERFA – 960k resign WR Ethan Fernea ERFA -960k? CB Marcel Dabo ERFA – 840k? WLB Austin Ajake ERFA – 840k? FS Kendell Brooks ERFA – 840k? SLB Liam Anderson ERFA – 840k? WR Zavier Scott ERFA – 840k? TE Jordan Murray ERFA – 840k? WR Michael Tutsie ERFA – 840k?   Of the above really like to see the Colts resign Ronnie Harrison, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kylen Granson, Dallis Flowers, and Segun Olubi.  In order to free up cap space it wouldn't shock me to see Braden Smith traded.  Not ideal but only way at this point in time to see freeing up available cap space.  Would love to add OC Connor Williams who is still a free agent but suffered an ACL injury late in 2023.  Before his injury Williams ranked as the 3rd best OL in 2023 in zone-heavy scheme.  Recoding a league best 92.4 run-blocking grade on zone concepts and equally impressive in pass protection allowing just six pressures on 280 pass sets.    No doubt the Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.   Mock Draft   Round 1 WLB Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) - As a true freshman led all LBs in Power 5 with a 91.0 pass-rush grade and second among all LBs in the country with 18 QB knockdowns (sacks/hits) and tied for second in the country with 4 *.  In 2023 as a true off-ball LB he struggled as a run defender but flashed in coverage, 81.1 coverage grade.  At the end of 2023 now recorded 27 TFLs and 13 sacks with 7 forced fumbles.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  In 2022 his 87.6 pass-rush grade by true freshman is 3rd best since the 2014 era, behind (Rueben Bain Jr-2023 and Myles Garrett-2014).  2022 PFF TOW 11 honors.  Like JOK, Perkins has a chance to win the Butkus Award.  Both JOK and Perkins have similar builds and ran a 4.42s-forty.  Do expect Perkins’ stats to dip if he does move to MLB and probably drop him to Round 2 grades much like Edgerrin Cooper in 2024 Draft Class.  Quick to drop into zone and covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 MIKE but some feel better suited as a WLB maximize range/speed.  Expecting Shaquille ‘Darius’ Leonard 2018-2021 vibes along with JOKs 2021-2023 production traits.  Both were drafted in Round 2 but should been first rounders.  Perkins replaces EJ Speed.   Round 2 Edge/RDE Elijah Alston (Miami) –Alston was an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.  In 2023 he had a 91.0 overall grade and 90.5 pass-rushing grade based on 235 pass rush snaped while at Marshal Alston also racked up 36 QB pressures, 5 sacks plus 24 defensive stops during this period.  By mid-November Alston was ranked 4th best (Marshawn Kneeland was #3) Edge behind #1 Latu whom the Colts selected in Round 1.   2023 College Football All-Sun Belt Team.  Looking forward to the Cal game and how he does against RB Jaydn Ott, RT Victor Stoffel, and LG Rush Reimer.  Duke’s new RT Micah Sahakian matchup is another one would like to see.  RB Quinton Cooley (Wake Forest) who transferred from Liberty and earned 2023 College Football All-CUSA Team is another key matchup.  Finally, TE/WR Oronde Gadsden II of Syracuse could test his coverage skills.  The Colts done well and am looking forward to seeing Paye/Latu tandem then creating another one with Odeyingbo and Alston.  Ebukam will be a FA after 2025 but could be cut/traded save cap space.  Close build to Ebukam and Leo with 2” taller than Avery with Avery an upcoming FA and no guarantee we can resign Odeyingbo with the minimal cap space currently projected.   Round 3 LT J.C. Davis (Illinois) - The New Mexico Lobos ran a zone-scheme concept 318 times in 2023 and Davis was on the field for 316 of those snaps where he helped the team earn a 91.5 rushing grade with 58 explosive runs.  Davis is well-rounded earning a 78.6 inside-zone run grade and a 78.4 outside-zone run grade.  See how well Davis does after transferring the Big 10 this season.  Overall, 82.4 run-blocking grade in 2023.  Comparison Illinois Isaiah Adams was drafted #71 by Arizona and was ranked 8th best zone OL in 2023 and Davis was 5th best.  In 2022 Davis earned a 66.8 overall PFF grade and in 2023 had an 87.1 pass-blocking grade.  If the Colts do trade/cap release Braden Smith than Davis is a high target to hopefully take early to replace him.   Round 4 TE Jalin Conyers (Texas Tech) - In 2022 Conyers forced 21 missed tackles which led all TEs in the country.  Plus, ranked 4th in receiving yards after contact (170).  As a redshirt freshman in 2021 had a 73.5 pass-blocking grade while playing at Arizona State.  Conyers can be elusive with the ball in his hands.  In his first season was used heavily as a run-blocker (2021) and excelled as a blocker ranking him 4th in the Pac-12.  Back in August 2023 Rick Spielman said he may be the best run-blocking TE in the class behind Cade Stover.  Considered a true Y TE efficient at run-blocking and can catch with run-after ability.  Spielman said last year would have had a Late Day 2 grade, while Ryan Wilson says Rounds 3-4.  Potential to be a red zone monster in the NFL if he continues to grow his game.  Last year Round 4 was where tight ends were drafted and expect the same again in 2025.  Replaces Mo Alie-Cox.   Round 5 Edge/RDE Anton Juncaj (Arkansas) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team while at Albany.  2022 PFF grade of 75.1.  2023 final defense grade of 91.3, run defense 87.4, pass rush 90.6 and 68.5 coverage grade and racked up 55 tackles (34 solo), 21.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 3 PD and forced 5 fumbles.  Key matchups against RB Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma St) the Reigning Doak Walker Award Winner from 2023 and projected first rounder LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas).   Round 6 Rover/SLB-SAF Justin Barron (Syracuse) - 2023 College Football All-ACC Team.  Defensive Captain. 6’4” 231 pounds had 0.5 sacks, 3 *, 1 FR, 1 INT, and 8 PDs in 2023 (81.4 PFF grade).  In 2022 had 64 tackles and 5 TFLs.  Reminds me of Jaylon Carlies whom the Colts just drafted in Round 5P151.  Key matchup versus Cal and RB Jayden Ott.  WR Eric Singleton Jr (Georgia Tech), WR Kevin Concepcion (NC State), WR-X Ricky White (UNLV), RB Desmond Reid, TE Justin Joly (UConn).  Solid in zone coverage.   Round 7 SS Mishael Powell Miami (FL) – Powell transferred from Washington.  In Week 8 he clocked 21.0 mph.  In 876 snaps in 2023 Powell played 477 in the slot, 165 in the box, and 122 at FS finishing with a strong 73.9 coverage and 69 defensive grades.   Potential UDFAs ·         QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) - 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors ·         R3-UDFA RT Jalen Travis (Iowa State) 6’7” 310 pounds - While at Princeton finished with an overall 80.7 PFF Grade and 9th best OT in D1 (89% pass blocking and 75% run blocking grades). – Much like OT Tyler McLellan (Campbell) signed with Chargers, project to UDFA in 2025.  See how he does at Iowa State against better competition as he graded slightly behind Kiran Amegadjie (Yale) who was drafted in Round 3 P11 by the Bears in 2024 NFL draft.  Listed as backup behind Tyler Miller. ·         LT Adam Karas (Air Force) - After 9 weeks Karas has an 83.9 run-blocking grade and an overall PFF grade of 87.4.  Overall, 86.3 PFF grade with just one penalty and 1 QB hurry on 296 total snaps.  Decent height 6’4” ·         RT Josh Fryar (OSU) - 2023 earned college football midseason all-America Honorable Mention.  Fryar finished 2023 with a 70.8 overall PFF grade.  Great height 6’6”.  Finished with a 70.8 PFF grade.  Gave up a team high 5 sacks but did earn a 77.2 run blocking grade and a 71.2 pass blocking grade. ·         LG Rush Reimer (Cal) – In 2023 Reimer earned first-team All-Big Sky Conference at LG with an overall 75.8 PFF Grade (D1-T8) at Montana State.  See how he does against better CFB competition.  Project goes UDFA much like Jake Kubas (7) (NY Giants), Ross Palmer (3), and (2) Donny Ventrelli (Bears).  Could be the next Mason McCormick (6) drafted by the Steelers P119 in the 2024 NFL draft.  Montana State used a lot of Inside Zone runs.  Cal has Reimer listed as backup LT for 2024. ·         RT/OG Grey Zabel (North Dakota State) 6’6” 296 pounds.  Zabel finished 2023 with an overall 79.3 PFF Grade as an OG.  Finished 10th among other listed tackles last season.  As a guard would have been 4th best D1.  Zabel started all 15 games in 2023 with 3 at guard and 12 at RT. ·         RB Harrison Waylee (Wyoming) – In 2023 clocked 21.8 mph in Week 4 T18 fastest player. ·         RB/KR Lan Larison (UC Davis) finished 2023 tied 7th overall FCS RB with an overall 89.2 PFF Grade (R5) in D1.  On 178 carries rushed for 1101 yards scoring 13 TDS while adding two more through the air on 21 REC for 198 yards.  Larison was the 2023 Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year.  In 2021 averaged 29.91 yards as a kick returner and 21.9 yards in 2022. ·         SWR/RB/KR/PR Chris Tyree (ND) 4.29s-forty speed excellent 3.95s shuttle (HS) and 38” vertical (HS).  In 2023 Week 9 clocked 21.0 mph. ·         WRX/Z Bo Belquist (North Dakota) 2023 overall 88.6 PFF Grade.  For D1 graded out as one of the top 10 WRs behind Hayden Hatten 86.1 whom the Seahawks added as an UDFA. ·         SWR Jacob De Jesus (UNLV) – best PR/KR #3 in PR and #13 in KR.  De Jesus was a top nomination to win the Jet Award in 2023 who was given to Zachariah Branch (USC). ·         WR-X Dymere Miller (Rutgers) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team with Monmouth.  Miller finished as the best receiver (D1) in 2023 with a 92.3 PFF grade (only behind Nabers).  Monmouth ran an inside zone with three different concepts in its base A gap zone.  Also pinched in as a kickoff returner with success (13.67 and 12.5 avgs). ·         WR Isaac TeSlaa (Arkansas) – Great Midwest American Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2022 and received Honorable Mention All-American.  Strengths are ball tracking, hands, athleticism, 50/50 extraordinaire. ·         LEdge Aaron Lewis (Rutgers) - 2022 PFF Weeks 6 and 12 honors.  A disappointing 2023 season compared to 2022 grading 10 points lower.  (75.9 in 2023 compared to 85.5 in 2022).  Poor run-defense grade of 59.8 but was still an elite pass rusher.  His 91.5 pass-rushing grade since 2022 ranks 10th among all FBS edge defenders and his 18.7% pass-rush win rate places 11th in Power Five.  Needs to improve his run game. ·         Jack OLB/RDE Steve Linton (Baylor) – Linton transferred to Baylor from Texas Tech.  Injury prone, in 2023 suffered a broken thumb in August, sprained ankle in Big 12 opener vs West Virginia, aggravated it the following week then missed the last four games of regular season with back problems.  72% tackling, 88% pass rush, 61% run defense, 72% coverage.  Decent 4.62s-forty speed and 6’5” 235 pounds. ·         NCB Yam Banks (Ole’ Miss) - Made 2022 PFF College All-America Second Team while playing at South Alabama.  For 2024 listed as backup.  In 2022 Banks was a first-team All-Sun Belt pick and third team in 2023.  In 45 games, Banks racked up 147 TOT, 7 INT (6 in 2022 T3 in nation). ·         LCB Tommi Hill (Nebraska) – 4.55s forty speed.  In 2023 had an outstanding QB rating when targeted of 38.6.  With another solid year Hill could move up.  ·         FS Saiku White (Lafayette) - In 2023 White moved from SS to FS and had a career year with a final 2023 defense grade 91.4 best for 2nd, pass rush grade 74.4, a 90.7 coverage grade 4th best, and an 80.7 run defense grade 98th.   Team Captain.

      Larry Allen passed away at 52

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Larry Allen, Hall of Fame OG/OT, passed today. He is arguably the greatest Offensive Linemen of all-time. He could play right or left Guard or Tackle. He won a SB with the Cowboys in 1995. He is also known for having the NFL bench press record, when he benched 700 pounds down to chest and up once. I am shocked this hasn't been bigger news around the league.    RIP big fella.
