Let's not get too carried away. I'm pretty sure there was no conspiracy to give Dallas the win here. There were some questionable calls, as there are in every game, and the most visible happened to go to the Cowboys (it's a 50/50 shot). Had the flag not been thrown in the first place rather than thrown and then picked up, the outcome would be the same, but nobody would be talking about it because no-calls happen all the time, including several that benefited Dallas this day.Elfdart wrote:A ride on Jerry's Party Bus, apparently.Flagg wrote:Wow.

They should have brought in Derek and Beverly Joubert from National Geographic to do the game. It's not every day you see lions getting raped by zebras.
Our secondary couldn't stop anything. How else would you call that? A shellacking?Ziggy Stardust wrote:Manhandling at will is a pretty strong term.
Yeah, Torrey Smith is really dropping his value in a contract year. He played miserably.Elfdart wrote:Both of Flacco's INTs had as much to do with Smith pulling up on the pattern as Flacco overthrowing.
I guess I misunderstood what you meant. Usually when I hear the term "manhandling" in this context, I usually think about a team being incredibly physical and getting away with penalties as a result of that physicality. I guess that was a bit of an unfair assumption to make specifically about your post; in defense, I plead the fact that I had just spent 4 hours drinking beer and watching an incredibly close and tense football game.Thanas wrote: Our secondary couldn't stop anything.

Nah when I complain about the refs I complain about them straight up.Ziggy Stardust wrote:I guess I misunderstood what you meant.

And THAT is why you never throw late across your body, ladies and gentlemen. I knew the instant his arm went forward it was a pick-6.
John Fox, Denver Broncos part ways after four seasons

Whether or not Sunday's Divisional Round loss marks Peyton Manning's final game in Denver, it will stand as John Fox's last game on the Broncos' sidelines.
Fox told NFL Media's Jeff Darlington Monday that he and the Broncos have reached a mutual decision to part ways.
Although general manager John Elway insisted Sunday that Fox was coming back, there were whispers around the league last week that the move would be forthcoming if the Broncos could not get past the Colts.
Where do the Broncos go from here?
It's not clear yet if the decision is connected to the futures of Manning and offensive coordinator Adam Gase.
"At this point," Darlington said on The Aftermath Monday, "it's neither imminent nor inevitable that Gase becomes the next coach."
If Gase ends up leaving for a head-coaching job elsewhere, Manning faces the unappetizing prospect of learning a new offense if he decides to return for an 18th NFL season.
Along with the questions about Manning and Gase, it remains to be seen if Elway plans a complete rebuilding process or simply minor tinkering to reload for another playoff run in 2015. The Broncos have to address the futures of more than a half-dozen key free agents, including Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker, Terrance Knighton, Rahim Moore and Orlando Franklin.
As for Fox, he finishes his Broncos tenure with a 46-18 record over four years, bringing his 13-year career record to 119-89.
He turned the franchise around after the Josh McDaniels debacle, winning a playoff game with Tim Tebow at quarterback before capturing the AFC West title in three consecutive season with Manning running the offense.
Although widely respected in NFL circles, he was severely out-coached in Super Bowl XLVIII and came up short as the heavy favorite on Sunday.
Fox is now free to interview with the 49ers, Bears, Jets, Falcons and Raiders for their own vacancies.

Well, supposedly he had a full on torn quad, which, if true, explains why he was throwing dead ducks.Havok wrote:If his performance really was because of injury that he can bounce back from, I would imaging that is the case.
