Terrible coaching cost them this game. Peyton actually kept them in it barring one mistake.
 
In Manning's defense, his top two RBs were out, and one of them wasn't much good anyway.

But without those freak returns, this game would have been even more embarrassing. This game was Denver's to win, and they just...didn't.

More fuel for the Lewis vs. Manning conversation. And I don't even like Lewis.

The coaching decided to not try and keep the ball when they had 2 minutes left in the game and were leading.

Wat?

Since when is clock not the most important factor in a tight game? Have you ever watched football before? Did you see how sluggish the Raven's O had been the entire half? Why would you give them time in exchange for a minimal chance at a first down? The numbers never ever ever back up such a move. Ever.

It wasn't like the coach asked his safety to play underneath either. Probably the biggest play of the game.

I don't see them losing to anybody again other than the Pats maybe. Apart from Houston falling apart on their own, the Broncos are a much better team than they were at the time.

I don't have as much confidence as the OP but I don't see them losing to any of their potential first opponents at least (of which they've beat 2 already), and if somehow the Pats stumble somewhere it's very likely Denver is in the SB.

The Ravens defense was tired, they should of kept the ball and let Manning work on 3rd down. Instead they ran the ball then punted, sorry, but keep the ball and let your quarterback work his magic.

They just used their timeouts and had a 2 minutes warning. Tired not found. What you say flies in the face of statistical data for the last 10 years. It took an improbable blown coverage to force OT. His "magic" hadn't been magical all game. Did you watch the game or just check the box score?
 
Poor Peyton. His special teams scored 14 points for him. And all the lesser Manning brother could do was score 21 points in 4 quarters. And an overtime.

BWAAAAHHHH.

Broncos were the most overrated team of the year.

I watched it, if they keep the ball and end the game the blown coverage doesn't happen. They went conservative and they lost, wrong move.

Tired defense = run the ball.

Your magical "anything can happen" defense of a non existent call flies in the face of all statistical data for the NFL for a decade.
