The secondary gave the game away, they depended on Champ Bailey to work alone and it is obvious he couldn't do it.  I sure hope the Broncos can afford a few new backs if they want to get a ring.

 

That aside it was the most exciting game this side of a Luck comeback this year!

Chris Harris looked like a pretty solid corner, but Bailey, Moore, and Carter all got beat badly on plays. Hard to blame the loss completely on them though.

 

You don't bring in the biggest FA QB acquisition in NFL history, and have him take a knee with 30 seconds and two timeouts when all he needs is a field goal in a playoff game.

Did you ever think that Fox called that play? :) Do you really think Peyton would have called that dumb play? ;) If so I thought you knew Peyton better than that.  JMO

I'm positive Fox made that decision.....but I also think Peyton could/should have audibled. I'm sure with hindsight they would all agree.

I thought that was really odd. I'm surprised Manning didn't overrule his decision. Sort of like in 2005 when he told the punt team to get off the field against the Steelers.

Speaking of Champ Bailey, that pass interference call that gave the Ravens the 3rd down conversion was dumb. The expression on Bailey's face said it all.

I'd kind of forgotten about that play. It somehow fell through the cracks when compared with the other bad calls and terrible defensive play.

Secondary was overrated all along. Their D looked good against the likes of the Browns and Chiefs. What an accomplishment.

...they were exposed tonight.   Although it truly was a great game...back & forth, until finally we got the momentum and kept it for the duration of the game.  I know the Pats are glad we knocked off the Broncos for them.  It was a tall order to fill, but our cup didn't "runneth over!"

Well,that was painful to watch. I-am-going-to-go-hide-in-the-cave painful. There is enough blame to go around and I don't feel like getting into that because I know they are devastated and I'm devastated for them. But I had a mini epiphany this morning even though it's cliche: losing is part of winning. They cannot be separated. We would have been better off not having won 11-games in a row and a HFA. It is not good to be in a weak division. I know the Broncos worked really hard as a team to not to believe the hype, but I think it's impossible. So perhaps it's not an accident the player who committed the biggest mistake was a second-year player.

This just underscores how hard it is to win it all. And we had pretty good health this season. Who knows about next? I appreciate hard-working players and coaches on my team. This exact thing happened in 1996-7 season.

Congrats to the Ravens. They played hard and well.

It was a great game...almost 4 1/2 hours/...but that's one of the toughest losses I've ever seen for a home team.

the two leaders..Manning and Bailey.......failed in key moments...

They have another chance with this yeah next year but there is age on the defense and time is running out...

      Safety Jay Stanley (Southern Miss)

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Found Stanley’s Pro Day Results from 03/25/2024.  Hands 9 3/8, decent wingspan of 79 ½”. Stanley ran slower at his pro-day than Kamren Kinchens did with a 4.78s 40-yard dash which was even worse than James Williams SAF Miami (FL).  Curious if he was injured or that Is his top speed.  His vertical was only 33” which was still better than Jaylon Carlies, Josh Proctor, Patrick McMorris, Demani Richardson, and James Williams.  Even his broad jump was much better than those mentioned above, except Josh Proctor (10’1”), and bested Kamren Kinchens, Kitan Oladapo, and Daijah Anthony from the Combine.  Stanley’s 3-Cone Drill and 20 Yard Shuttle were actually better than some of the cornerbacks drafted this time around.     Still went through PFF's recent 2024 UDFA tracker and still could find Stanley mentioned.  Guess teams are ignoring him with such a slow 40-yard dash time.  If he was injured might account for his speed and sub-par vertical jump.

      Anthony Richardson: The Pocket Passer

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Come on now…  Lamar Jackson is a two time NFL MVP.   Justin Fields is entering his 4th season, and he wasn’t terrible with Chicago.    Anthony Richardson started 4 games for the Colts.  He’s thrown just 84 total passes.   We’re all pulling for the kid to succeed,  but he’s got a lot to prove before  anyone can credibly say AR is better than Fields or Jackson.    There are plenty of questions to be asked and the answers wont come until early next year.    We all could be having an entirely different conversation next off-season.

      Anthony Richardson: The Pocket Passer

      By colts89 · Posted

      People saying he was a run first QB never watched his college tape. I won't lead the witness, but you can make some basic assumptions as to why people believed that.   IMO, his actual football problems coming into the league were:   - bad footwork. Made him have some inconsistent, wild throws at times. - not that great at making easy, short passes. The layups, essentially.     I'd say in the short sample we saw last year, that the latter issue he dramatically improved on. For the former, there were still some erratic throws (when he missed, he really missed), but he also showed progress there a s well (his completion percentage in the NFL was 59.5 vs 53.7 in his one year starting at college. It's usually the opposite trend for most rookies)   I'm absolutely on board on AR becoming a franchise QB, the only issue he has is proving he can stay healthy. I also don't think calling out two minor injuries vs one major injury is enough to call injury prone, but he has to prove it all the same.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      He can’t as you pointed out those contracts are more or less slotted.
