This is something I can agree with. I think they both played poorly.

I will agree with this. The Denver defense and Peyton Manning lost them this game.

I'll change my description of Manning's play from poorly to mediocre. It was good enough to win this game, but he does share fault in this loss along with the defense. There is no way in hell that defense should have given up 38 points to a shitty Baltimore offense. They most definitely played worse than Manning. One god damn sack on Flacco? Only 3 QB hits? It reminded me of our defense in the early part of the year.

Mediocre doesn't usually win you playoff games. But I personally believed he played poorly. Manning was not the sole reason they lost this game, but he sure helped them. If your QB turns the ball over three times, and one was returned for a touchdown... you will probably lose the game. It was a combination of both. Poor play erratic play from the QB, defense allowing big plays, teams won't win many games that way. The only reason the Broncos were in that game was cause of Holliday, neither their offense or defense showed up today consistently.

San Fran Green Bay game looking like it will be exciting, a pick 6, a fumble at the goal line... A crappy wildcard weekend forms into an amazing divisional weekend.

Good for the Ravens. If they play the Pats next week I'll be pulling for them. If they're playing the Texans, I'm rooting for a good game because I like both teams. Amazing how it ended for Peyton tonight. I think equal blame can be assigned to the defense for blowing it and for the offense' turnovers. I honestly thought with how conservative Baltimore was playing offensively that the only reason they might win the game would be getting a turnover in Denver territory.

Not sure why Manning tried to throw that one pass where he was rolling out and he was throwing it across his body. Thought he'd be smarter and throw that away. That was crucial. Almost as bad a play as a defense (in prevent mode) allowing a deep pass to go for a TD.

Yeah, it was crazy that Baltimore was able to get deep bombs for TDs at the end of each half. Worse than the Cruz play if you ask me. No way that you aren't telling your deep safety not to let anything get behind you.

Manning was looking tired by OT. I don't think he threw many passes further than 10-15 yds in the 2nd half. They also struggled on 3rd and shorts for as well as their running game was doing.

Ravens will win the Super Bowl now. They're the only playoff team remaining that lost to the Skins during the Regular season.

We normally beat the Super Bowl winner.

I hope Houston, Baltimore or Atlanta wins it. A lot of deserving players on those teams. And Houston and ATl has never won it

It's nice to see Atlanta becoming a power house as even though the fans got a bit of frontrunner in them they've suffered for a while.

I remember back when they made to the Super Bowl in 98 there was a story about how the Falcons biggest fan who had attended virtually all of their games use to leave extra tickets on his windshield for anyone who wanted to see the game. When he got back to his car after the game he'd find more tickets left on his windshield.

Plus at the very least Matt Ryan is a good guy as is the owner Arthur Blank though he does make me a little nervous as he tends to Jerry it up on occasion with sideline visits in close games.

I hope either Ravens or Falcons, only because I placed bets in Vegas before the season started. I also bet on Bengals and Redskins too, it would have been a good payout for these two bets.
