I'm not sure if it's true or not but our paper mentions that Peyton said the word "embarrassing" to describe how the Broncos played is insulting. Hmmm. There's a picture in the same paper that should be blown up and mailed to Peyton showing a father looking down obviously not enjoying himself and his young son crying because of the lackluster performance their team was giving. I think I'd be a tad embarrassed that my fans would be reduced to such a state.

You guys are either too young or have very short memories. For years the Broncos were a running joke, to the point where we called them the Benver Donkies. The only time we stopped laughing was when John Elway took them to the top.

This should help explain it.

I did not think Denver's offensive line was giving Manning enough protection. It does not matter how good a quarterback is if the offense can't keep the QB safe for the 4-5 seconds he needs.

How many of YOUR teams have been to 7 Superbowls?


Yeah, the Broncos were really really bad when they were in the AFL, and in the NFL until the mid 70's.


And I can't defend their play last night, it was pitiful.

Yeah, peyton played pretty mediocre, but then again so did the o-line, the defense, and even the special teams. All around piss-poor.

I knew there was another 49er fan here!

Though not so home town for me.

I made the statement that the Niners Seahawks game was the true superbowl, Denver would have lost to any NFC team. (edit: playoff NFC team)

Lots agree.

49ers put up more of a fight in Seattle, with all that noise, than denver could have done at home.

Peyton is a great regular season qb. Less tears than his scared tear stricken, whinebaby brother at least.

My team, the Bengals, only got to the Super Bowl twice. But they were the two best Super Bowl games ever. Hats off to the 49ers, both games were against them.
