This team hung in there with one of the best teams in football. Denver did not man handle us the whole game, our defense is vicious.

Our defense had it tough earlier on but has settled down now. Hopefully they have one more drive in em.

WHO CARES! I'm sick of being so-so. Almost beating a good team is something I don't settle for. If they tried their best, I'm happy. But almost winning doesn't get you into the big game.

We aren't so-so. We are as good as any team in the NFL. Denver just got lucky to get the ball first. The NFL OT is so stupid because luck ends up winning it.

We are a slightly above average team. We won't last long in the playoffs.

The kicking issue has lost us a few games this year, we gotta sign someone next year. Hopefully flozell coming back is a big help to the o-line but they've been the weakpoint of the offense this year. We need some youth and depth on the OL. Tucker wont start next year, Rob may or may not depending on who we draft.

That's garbage. We're a good football team, which happens to get more bad breaks than good ones.

PLEASE if this was the AFC maybe i would agree with you but in the NFC who is clearly better. NO ONE is, so although i'm dissapointed lets not get too down. I still like our chances considering we are still a young team thats getting better

With the defense we have we may win the NFC. The AFC especially at the top is better then we are. Yet we basically had one of the best teams in the AFC beat if we make a FG. And if they had a right OT rule and allowed both teams to have 1 possession then we would have had a chance to win.

Cundiff is a good kicker. He just missed the kick that would win it. We still had a shot to win after that if our passing game could have gotten a few plays together we may have givin him another shot at winning he would have made.

Missed field goals are not bad breaks, especially when it happens repeatedly. If you want to go down that route, we got a lucky break against the Eagles and were lucky to face a Chargers team without Gates. I am correct, you are not. Dallas is a slightly above average team. Good teams do not have glaring weaknesses on the O-line and on special teams (by glaring I mean weaknesses that actually cost us games.)

HeavyHitta told me I was nothing but a blind homer for saying we were equal to the Broncos. Today showed I was right.

That's just it. I don't see us getting better this year. In fact, since the first Eagles game we've been horribly inconsistent. That's the kind of form that will get you one win in the playoffs and then a frustrating loss.

Do some of you even watch football?

If we digressed we would have gotten blown out by the 2nd best team in the NFL today. Not just lost because the OT is sudden death. Which shouldn't be allowed IMO especially based on an unearned coin flip.

Yes, but injured kickers are. Also injured left tackles, as well as a starting right tackle that is a rookie. Gates is not the be all/end all deciding factor on why we won the Chargers game, or why the Chargers lost. Gates has been in many games this year, and they've still lost. Laying a probable victory at the feet of one player, especially a tight end is just garbage.

We should have won this game. Yet, we lost, and now we are just a slightly an above average football team? If we won by Cundiff making that field goal, would we then be Super Bowl bound? Or would we have been "lucky" too eek out a victory. Some people...

You were the one playing the pathetic bad breaks card. Every team has injuries and as much as losing Flo hurts, our problems run deeper than that. The fact that we are starting a 6th round rookie who shows some promise is but one reason that we are not yet anything more than an above average team. And to be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the Broncos. At the end of the day, the Colts, Steelers and perhaps even the Patriots and Bengals are better than the Broncos.
