Great read. I think many of you need to read this.

It's not a great read at all. It's drivel from a manning apologist, glossing over the fact that manning turned the ball over 3 times. he criticizes other broncos for letting manning down bysaying if they had done their jobs, the game would have been won before overtime so mannings last pick never should have happened. And he says this:

If the Broncos get the sort of defensive/special teams miracle they seemed to get last year in overtime games with Tim Tebow, the Broncos almost surely win

the broncos special teams scored 2 touchdowns in regulation!!! what more do you want? If the broncos special teams had not given the team 14 miracle points, the broncos would have LOST in regulation.

And then theres this:

If Jacoby Jones delivers on his dismal postseason reputation from a year ago and drops the game-tying touchdown pass, the Broncos almost surely win

He's arguing the Broncos should have won by criticizing the fact that one of the Ravens players made a good play.

The only reason to recommend that anyone read that article is if you want them to get stupider. And yes, i know stupider is not a word; however, it seems fitting to use in reference to that POS article.
