Perspective (too early?)

[d-dave]

So I basically didn't sleep last night.  This game was torment.  Just really freaking painful.  But I just wanted to throw some perspective out there, which will be argued fairly stupidly by all the bandwagon, butthurt, emotional jerkfaces here to light bags of poop on the doorsteps.

1. Von Miller was an unstoppable force of nature.  Man, when they needed a play, there he was.  Dude was a well deserved game MVP.

2. We were out coached.  While our defense played really well for the entire game, Wade Phillips completely schooled Shula.  The way he not only used Von Miller, but how he was able to completely stop our run and Cam never had time to wait on those long forming routes.  

3. We picked a terrible day to have a terrible game.  From the horrific mismatch between Miller/Rimmers, the multitude of penalties, the dropped picks, dropped passes.  Pro Football is a game of inches, and good lord, we kept missing those inches.

So we can be upset, bitter, and salty.  the "haters" are going to hate, call us names and basically talk a ton of poo.  But let's not forget we did have a great season.  We have a lot of wonderful building blocks in the future.  We had a terrible game against a team tired of hearing about how we were going to out physical them.

At least we'll have a pretty clear set of things to work on for next year.  Our door is just opening.  This team could be special.  Hopefully the humility of this game becomes just as important as having fun and being ourselves.

not too early.

 

much needed.

The first thing I told my son when it was apparent that we were probably going to lose (which was probably with 13 minutes left in the 4th quarter)is, "We aren't ready yet."

By the way, I haven't been to sleep myself.

Our offense didn't/couldn't excute (Denver's defense get some credit there) and committed to many mistakes and turnovers against a great defense. 

Can't expect to win like that, no matter how close the score was. 

This team will be back.

I disagree. This team is already special. We lost two games. Soon the drunken idiots will dissipate and won't return until their team starts winning again. It's an endless cycle that'll only end when we finally know what a catch is

Please don't say that lol. It could be forever. ;)

McD and Rivera were able to bring in a Defensive decent game plan and after moving away from the blitz over and over on the first drive, played a great game

Shula and Rivera however did not come up with a good Offensive plan and seemed to have no plan B.  The offense did not execute well, fumbled, sacks, interceptions, etc.

There aren't a half dozen teams in the league we could have beaten with 4 turnovers, a dozen penalties and countless other mistakes and we certainly arent going to beat anyone in the SB playing like that.  Maybe the stage won't be too big for us if we somehow manage to ever get back.
