Everyone who covers Demaryius Thomas is getting injured. Does he have spikes on under his uniform? ---

Well, the good news is Manning will be back next season. I can’t see him retiring after this ass whupping. This isn’t how he wants to end it. ---

Seattle strapped a saddle on the Bronco and rode off singing _Happy Trails_. ---

Denver overcame a lot this season. Not many teams could lose a coach for a month and still earn a Superbowl shot. They’ll come back even stronger next season. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Oh I know. But it gives ammo to the people who have a lot of ego invested in simplistic cliches about football. Lots of stupid will be spouted due to this. True that. But had the Broncos won, you would have heard “you need an elite QB to win it all” just as much as you will now hear “defense wins championships”. It’s a no win situation, one way or another an entire season will be boiled down to a simplistic canard with little to no regard for the subtleties of the game. If you must draw one conclusion from this game, I would make it “don’t turn the ball over”. ---

How important do you think the first play was? – Instead of the beginning of a typical Broncos drive eating clock and getting points there was a brain fart with 2+3 points in the ass, and then they never really recovered; seemed stunned and adding mistakes upon mistakes. Would the game turn out significantly different if they got going in the first drive, or is the Seahawks this much better, the first play didn’t really matter that much? ---
