Pretty boring game.  I like defense but when the broncos are just admitting defeat on offense and handing the ball back over when the game is on the line it isnt good. 

Im glad mmanning got to end his career that way.  200th win

"Im glad mmanning got to end his career that way."

So, the narrative goes like this: Manning loses his starter's spot in the middle of the season due injuries and poor play, bravely makes it back into the lineup at the end of the season, overcomes media reports of drug use and then leads his team to a win in Footballmania. 
Why, it's almost like it was scripted or something ...

Artie, if you didn't see the fumble, it was bad.  Here's the play--watch Newton back away from the ball/pile

Artie, to be fair, it's very easy to get lost in the sea of Cam Netwon fumbles that were caused by Von Miller. Unless my calculator is wrong, he caused 2, both were recovered by Denver inside the 10 yard line...

The one above is pretty unflattering for Cam. But the first one was just as devastating, as it was recovered by Denver in the End Zone for a touchdown.

Original post claimed 3 fumbles, but apparently that other one was caused by someone else. Ware?

"Von Miller"

It's funny. The Broncos have what would ordinarily be considered a long history of employing bad characters - a steroid user, a pothead, drunk drivers, a kicker who was a serial drunk driver, a quaterback who stuck his ass in a female trainer's face when he was in college and had HGH shipped to his house under his wife's name, to a general manager who refused to play for the team that drafted him because they weren't up to the standards he set coming off a career 20-23 record in college and then threatened to go play baseball if he wasn't traded, and a head coach who amoing other offenses used to order his offensive linemen to take out the knees of the defensive linemen of other teams.
I suppose when the owner of the team - who twice obliterated the salary cap and not only got away with it but won two Super Bowls because of it, and nearly got away with it another time when he tried to compensate the quarterback with a percentage of the team instead of regular pay - creates a culture of cheating, the employees follow suit.
And it's not just the Broncos, of course. The Patriots have obviously almost perfected the art, and the league has no problem handing out a Super Bowl MVP trophy to an accessory to a double murder.
It seems like the biggest crime you can commit in the NFL is being affiliated with the Oakland Raiders. I read a story a couple of weeks ago about the Los Angeles relocation vote that quoted Bob McNair saying the Raiders got stiffed because "Al Davis used to sue us all the time." Who the fuck is Bob McNair and why is he using a first person pronoun to describe a league his team wasn't admitted to until long after the Raiders had already moved back to Oakland?
