John Fox deserves the blame for timid play calling. Take a knee with 36 seconds and two timeouts left---are you kidding me--talk about giving up, or in the 4th quater late in the game 3rd and 5 and we run it again after having run it the first two downs and gaining only five yards. An 8 million dollar quarter back and 4 great recievers and we call a run with a third string back--and of course as every knows, we had to give up the ball. Had we made a first down game over...I knew then that was the turning point. And of course during the last seconds of the game every one in Colorado knows Flacco will throw a deep ball except our coach who leaves Moore in the back and out of position and set up for failure. Why didn't he call a timeout and fix that?? The game was not lost ---it was thrown away....

Tim Tebow has a better playoff win percentage with the Broncos than that of Peyton Manning.

CHUMP BARELY deserves the blame! He allowed TWO touchdowns without any heart to even TRY to stop the ONE guy he had to cover. I don't even have to point out the HUGE gains he gave up TOO! It was so bad that I bet CHUMP even bet on his team to LOSE! Just like Paul Crew did in The Longest Yard!!! So way to go there CHUMP!
John Fox didn't exactly help by deciding to take a knee either. And to not even try a wold record field goal at a MILE HIGH?!!! But if you want to know who to blame I still say Number 24 CHUMP BARELY deserves over ninety percent or possibly ALL of it!

To blame any one of the players is unfair. They all didn't play to their collective potential! None of them! Offence, defense, passing, running, pass protection, turn-overs, you name it! It was a team effort to loose so completely. Of course Special Teams was the only bright light! Every other stat was embarrassing by any standard!
BUT, the real issue was the play calling in the last minute of the 4th Quarter! That's where the game was lost! Even the announcers were saying, "Why not be more aggressive and let Payton pass, get a 1st down and run out the clock!” That's from the announcers! John Fox called the shots in that last minute and that's when the whole thing went down the toilet! Horrible, overly cautious play calling lost the game for the Broncos. The rest of the mediocre play was a team effort. Too bad, they didn't even make it as far as last year with Tibow at the helm!

I attended the game Saturday and was very disappointed with the play of our stud in the secondary, Champ Bailey. He is known as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, but played like a 90 year old who belonged at home on his couch. Granted Torrey Smith is one of the quickest players in the NFL, and a tough WR to cover, but Champ Bailey should not have given up 2 wide open TDs.
