Between the awful refs, the Broncos taking dives to stop out momentum, missed tackles, blown sacks, dropped passes, the inability to challenge a call when you are allowed to challenge it, horrible playcalling, bad weather, no fans. THE WORST TV COVERAGE of a sports game I have EVER seen. The worst commentators. Rich Gannon blatantly cheering for the Broncos saying things like "Well as we go into the 4th quarter, you have to hope that the Broncos defense holds up." The PBP guy is the worst ever, all he cares about is hangtime. Too many commercials. etc, etc.

I think Hell will be having to watch this game over and over, for eternity. I feel the need to inflict physical harm on something, someone, but there is no one around. Ugh.

That is all.

Amen, brother.

This is a lot like the Jets-Pats game in week 2. We were making mistake after mistake. The refs screwed us over with 2 horrible calls, including one that gave the broncos an easy touchdown that we never could overcome. The Broncos should get fined for their injury ploy, although they won't.

Great point. I was thinking the same thing. The combination of stupid mistakes and a terrible call that killed our momentum (In the pats' game it was the offensive pass-interference called on Cotchery), reminded me of the 1st Patriot game

you said it man.

1. fumble that really wasn't. he covered it up for like 2 seconds before the bronco guy came in. dumb ref.
2. royal was out of bounds. somehow, they called that he was in bounds after the hit by elam.
3. punt was not downed at the 2.
4. cotchery made the catch on 3rd and 3.
5. 2 passes on 3rd and 1? agh
6. punt from 50 with 7 minutes remaining?

there should be some penalty for broncos faking injuries when they're getting caught on 12 man on the field.

there have been a lot of holds by the broncos. their o-line is the dirtiest in the league.

dont be a homer...1 - 4 is just incorrect....the only one i would say could be argued is the fourth...but the first three by rules of challenge were correct and IMO were the correct calls..

You can challenge down by contact on the Cotchery fumble It is done all of the time. It is physically impossible that when a player in on top of the football, on the ground, that a Bronco player can cause a fumble before making contact (thus, down by contact).

This game was bad... but nothing pissed me off more than the Raiders game this year.

MORON. That is the point of the CHALLENGE. That is why you can CHALLENGE it to see if he had possession. The issue is the refs said we couldnt CHALLENGE it to get the call right. WE ARE ALLOWED TO CHALLENGE IT. You are an idiot who just wants Mangini out so you are rooting against the Jets and saying the calls were fine. You are a disgrace of a fan.

Cotchery was down on it and it took a diving Bronco player to knock the ball out and put it back into play. That isnt allowed and at the very worst the refs should have called it as a loss of 7-8 yds so that way Denver can be able to challenge or not and you'd actually get a legit review of the play as opposed to saying its not reviewable. Refs looked like they had no idea what the hell was going on and that is unacceptable.

He never covered the fumble, he was on top of the ball but never had possesion of the ball. It was a good call he wasn't down by contact he didn't have possesion.

Please, Cotchery did not fumble. That ref job was worse than ed hocule's call against san diego...who was coincidentally playing against denver during that game

that indeed was one of the most horrendous calls ive seen all year. This refs have to go. Between that and the jay cutler "incomplete pass" against san diego, i refuse to believe that it was merely a bad call, these people must be blind. something has to be done, this shit is too obvious.

[luckiestman]

the diving and the inept (not really biased, just inept) officiating makes it frustrating

[onefanjet]

Plus, they threw in the towel and quit trying to score with 6 and some minutes left, that's an ETERNITY in football if coached and clock managed correctly.....

[JetsYankeesThrylos]

Our running game was completely shut down by one of the worst run d's in the league, this game overall has made me want to vomit, denvers first touchdown was rediculous, and i cant believe that ball popped out of cotcherys hands on the 4th dowm play. Our run d looks pathetic as well, the coaching staff was scared and timid, the dnver injuries oh man, i hate shit like that in soccer, but this is fucking horrible, no one will fear us after this, everyone will pass, pass, and pass some more on us and we will lose

people im blaming for this game: Favre, Thomas Jones, the entire defense and maybe hodges a little for some weak punts in the beginning and of course our main offender, the coaching staff, way to go mangini can you look like your gonna fall and cry like a bitch anymore then you do when shit goes wrong. His eyes were starting to tear up that little bitch.

highlight of the night: the steelers game

kudos to denvers o line they were good

two runs of 25+ yards and 138 on the day by TJ is not shutting us down.

we had a couple long runs but no consistency which is more important
