Another tough game to swallow, and this one is likely a season-ender. We will have a full review and recap of today’s action later tonight; in the meantime, dish it out in the comments!

    so does anyone know the tie-breaker situation?

  • TheTroglodyte

    MFGDSOBPOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again I am left looking forward to the draft. YAY!

  • broncoinva9986

    I Figure that we need to win…which is a duh…we need jets to lose to bengals…steelers to lose to dolphins, texans to lose to pats or ravens to lose to …right now we are still in at 8-7 according to espn

  • broncoinva9986

    BREAKING NEWS according to ESPN WE ARE STILL IN THE PLAYOFFS

  • ALWAYS NEXT YEAR

    Crapy ending to a crapy year.Broncos are 1 good qb away from a superbowl.I blame Kyel Orten for this melt down.At least he only fell down 3 time.He still is scared out on the feild.
    The Broncos D-line is 1 grate defence of lineman away from not bing decent.
    Well thier always nesxt year.Looking foward to the changes this year.

  • TheTroglodyte

    Normally I am pretty positive about things in Bronco country but I would rather miss the playoffs and get a better draft spot than make the playoffs and not even be competitive. If we make it and get blown out, I may defect to Hockey fan or even contemplate Soccer (gag) as my sport of choice.

  • kerry

    were not in the playoffs. the Steelers and Ravens have the same record as us and own the tie breaker over us.

  • milelows

    HA HA HA HA I TOLD ALL OF YOU THAT SHANAHANN IS GOING TO THE BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ALSO THE BRONCOS TRADED THIER FIRST ROUND PICK.BEARS WILL GIVE US THIER TOP 8TH PICK NEXT YEAR.
    BUT BRONCOS LOOSE NEXT WEEK ANY WAYS.

  • waylon

    Traded our #1 pick away for Alphonso, so draft positioning is irrelevant. At least the bears and jay-c suck worse than us. Small consolation. I need to get a hobby. This should not hurt as much as it does.

  • Waylon

    Stay classy milelows.

  • broncoinva9986

    thats why the guys on ESPN say we are in if we win

  • troyn

    Honestly, we were 3 non-paid-off referees from winning this game easily. Josh's refusal to use Hillis in a meaningful role is frustrating, but c',mon the ridiculous calls on 3rd down, pass intf. on bailey,not even close, the one on the same drive against celek, did not happen, and the Maclin catch at the end, a call on the field has to have irrefutable proof to be overturned, not there. Lurie and fast eddie rendell had the zebras in their pockets. That's what I will be telling my philly relatives tommorrow.
    Referees, Politicians, and Teachers/professors, all lesser talented individuals who have devoted their lives to having power over those who have the true abilities.

  • troyn

    missing the playoffs does not get denver a better pick as our pick went to seattle.

  • broncoinva9986
  • milelows

    Its ben confirmed the broncos lost thier play off spot.The nfl network said if Broncos are out.

  • Jrod

    NFL.com just updated and has us in right now…i dont get it, we should be out right now…

  • d_e_e

    For the Broncos to capture an AFC wild-card spot, there are two scenarios more likely than others:

    * The Broncos beat Kansas City, which would improve their record to 9-7, and either 8-7 Baltimore or 8-7 Pittsburgh loses. Baltimore and Pittsburgh have the head-to-head tiebreaker on the Broncos. Baltimore plays at 5-10 Oakland next Sunday and Pittsburgh plays at 7-8 Miami.

    * The Broncos beat Kansas City and either the Houston Texans beat New England, or the New York Jets defeat the Cincinnati Bengals. In this scenario, even if Pittsburgh and Baltimore win their games, the Broncos would get in because the head-to-head tiebreaker falls away.

  • Scott725

    Dumb call of the game 4th and 2 from the Eagles 40ish and you call a punt which only nets 20 yards in field position change. Broncos need a new punter

  • milelows

    Thier roung the ravens owne both tie breakers.nfl .com.thier are not right dont get your hopes up.
    Thier going to loose to the chiefs next week.

  • d_e_e

    According to NFL.com , the Broncos are the 5th seed right now ….

  • d_e_e

    Can this be true?!!??!

  • milelows

    wow thier still in baltimore has 3-3 divison record broncos has 3-2 record in thier divison record so thier in.

  • donny

    exept seattle owns our 1st rd pick

  • d_e_e

    Denverpost.com says they need help, NFL.com says they are in, who to believe?

  • Jrod

    thats true…because there would be no head-to-head sweep with another team like houston or the jets involved…

  • d_e_e

    Thats a big F you in your face Mileslow , and if Denver wins sunday they'll have an even better divison regard because Baltimore and Pitt are done! suck on that bitch

  • Jrod

    since baltimore and denver are in different divisions their respective division records dont matter

  • Andy

    New coach, basically new team, same old result at the end of the season.

  • d_e_e

    They must be using the 3rd and 4th tiebreakers

    # Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
    # Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

  • Jrod

    ur right has to be cuz with all these teams at 8-7, no one will have a head-to-head sweep, then it goes to conf record and houston and pit are eliminated so then it comes down to a three-way tie with us, the jets and baltimore in which we apparently have the tie-breaker w/ common games since we each are 6-5 in the conf

  • d_e_e

    ESPN TV confirms …. Broncos need to win next week and they are in , currently 5th seed ….. WOW.

  • d_e_e

    NFL updated as of 8pm …. Broncos are the 5th SEED.

    Beat KC and it cements the entry and a rematch with the Cardiac Cats.

  • Jrod

    i think it might actually be true…as long as we arent stuck with pit and baltimore at the end we should get in

  • broncos are done face it

    Look the ravens are out that what the nfl.com said.They have a better div ison record then the jets.Raven have 3-3 divison record,and the jets have 2-4 record so the ravens should be in and thje jets should be out.
    so in saing that.Nfl.commay be roung about the broncos.

  • dinger691

    Tie-breakers ! the broncos have lost 7 of 8 it does not matter they have no heart! They will lose to KC next week. It is the the Broncos! They lost 4 in a row last year they will go 1 and 3 this year. They do not know how to finsh. That starts at the top! They picked the wrong guy again. By the way lose to the Raiders at home, you have no control of the team.

  • dinger691

    The Broncos dropped to seventh. They are going to have help now.

  • TheTroglodyte

    No, our first round pick went to seattle. There are 7 rounds in the draft.

  • d_e_e

    They are in, the NFL isnt going to be wrong about their own tiebreaker …

  • TheTroglodyte

    You are the most annoying person to ever be born in the history of everything that has ever been born throughout the Universe.

  • d_e_e

    Kyle, you really need to put out a post or something… we need clarification

  • Coorsoriginal

    Never have seen a poorer, more blatant officiating subjectivity than this…clearly the refs wanted the Eagles to win this game…If you don't see it this way you know NOTHING about football…The refs stole this game PERIOD…Broncos did not lose it…Memo to Philly fans: “You have nothing and are lucky….nothing else…nice try and nice fan base btw you guys are ghetto…

  • idunno

    steelers lose to the dolphins keep dreaming
    if the broncos and the steelers win next week steelers get the wild card spot because they beat the broncos already

  • vince_mairne

    Amen to that Dee!

  • candide

    God I wish punter were the only problem. Th entire O-line should be fired including Clady who plays like he wants to go fishing instead. I don't know how many more quick passes to the wideout for a 3 yard loss I can take. I think they call that play 40% of the time. If it onl worked more than 5% of the time it actually might be good. Send Tony (25) whatsisface back to the practice squad and cut Wes Woodyard before he giftwraps any more tds.

  • Dinger691

    I’M TIERD OF WAITING UNTIL NEXT YEAR!

  • Anonymous

    This is from espn.com and fatass Bill Williamson

    The Broncos’ valiant, but unsuccessful comeback bid takes playoff control out of their hands. The loss further dramatizes Denver’s second-half nosedive. The Broncos started the season 6-0 but they have lost track of the past nine games. Denver could become the second team in 31 years to start 6-0 and not make the playoffs.

    Denver needs help to get to the playoffs. The NFL is working on the playoff tie-breaker scenario now. I will pass it along when whenever I get it. (It could be a while).

    AFC picture coming into focus: If Jets beat Bengals, they’re in. If Ravens beat Raiders, they’re in. Broncos, Texans, Steelers need help

    Not sure what to think… but yes, if you look at ESPN and the NFL network playoff boards it does seem that if the Broncos win next week they are in… period. I don’t see how they could not get in by winning since, if the playoffs started today, they would be in.

    Kyle, need your help to unravel the mystery.

  • Dinger691

    The Broncos have to get defense minded. Like they should have with this years first pick at # 12! with Brian Cushing
