They need to blow up the OL for sure. Move Vasquez back to guard and look for a center and right tackle.

I wonder how wise it was blowing the timeout for a challenge that really had no shot of being overturned. I guess I get you have to try it since it was marked so close, but one view of that replay should have shown they had no chance. Getting the ball back with 2:35 and a 2 minute warning would have given them a bit of a chance.

Peyton's done. Can't see how this game doesn't finally cement his reputation as a playoff choker. No idea what Denver does moving forward.

Regardless of who the QB is they should re-sign DT and let Julius Thomas walk. O line needs work still.

Wow. They quit.

I realize there's almost zero chance but I don't want to see Broncos give up. It's anti-Bronco. It flies against everything John Elway brought to Denver 30 + years ago that largely made me a Bronco fan for life.

Denver invested a lot in winning now. Even diminished can they really get a better QB than Peyton?

he won the big game once and his team was playing perhaps the worst SB QB of all time in Rex Grossman... he is lucky to have even one

tough call for Denver, they went all in knowing their window was closing and yes they wont be able to get a better QB than Manning for next year so i think he might have 1 more year left, unless the Broncos think they have something in Osweiler....

in hindsight, i think if Peyton would have went to the 49ers 3 years ago, he would have won his 2nd ring.. he went where the best offensive weapons were, should have went where the defense was... again easy to say in hindsight.

Peyton Manning cements his legacy as the Joe Thornton of professional football. What a dramatic swing in his performance from regular season vs. playoffs

Nantz and Sims seemed to be eulogizing Manning at the end. I know Manning said he'd come back but I don't know, this has quickly become Favre on the Vikings territory.

Abso-fricking-lutely. He won against a QB who looked more like Bambi than anything else. But he did come back form down like 20 points on that one so that's good on him. Other than that, his brother who's not more than half the QB he is won two SB so go figure.

I don't think it was even debatable imo, Brady is clearly the better quarterback, meaningless statistics be damned.

No question. Regular season or playoffs, unless he's hurt you generally know what you're gonna get out of Tom Brady. He's been the model of consistency for a QB for well over a decade now. With Manning as soon as the regular season is over you have no idea what to expect from him, except usually an early exit
