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.

This game has been absolutely amazing thus far though, easily game of the year.

I don't know our game against Baltimore was better.

So awful being a Skins fan in ravens country. Literally fireworks going off in my hood and folks running around screaming. Ugh hello long week; go Pats.

Yep.

Pass rush is the key to having a good defense, look at the top D's this year all are able to get to QB. Even top D's this year have bad games when they didn't get to the QB. So as bad as our secondary looked this year, just look at Denver's today.

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.

That is what is so shocking about Denver's play. They do that so well.

I agree. Most time 3 turnovers usually means you are going to lose the game.

Not even going to bring up not going for it at the end of the game with 30+ seconds left, full set of time outs and Manning as your QB. What was Fox thinking? He still stuck back in Carolina with Delhomme?

All season yes, but not today. So their secondary was exposed today.

Jon Fox is known for being conservative, did not surprise me at all. That is why I like Shanahan, has shown the confidence to go for it. Go for the win, don't play not to lose.

Rogers just threw a terrible pass.

I believe Shanny would have passed on that 3rd down before they punted, because a 1st down there would have ended it.
