Another hit to Manning's playoff legacy

January, 13, 2013

Peyton Manning fell to 9-11 in playoff games with Saturday's defeat against Baltimore.


DENVER -- Before Jacoby Jones even crossed into the end zone to tie this classic game, Jim Leonhard knelt over on the field in utter disbelief and helplessness.

Was this magical season really going to go down like this? It couldn’t. Not with Peyton Manning on the Denver sideline. He’d make it better. He’d have an overtime to counter a miraculous Joe Flacco bomb to Jones with 31 seconds to go in regulation Saturday at Sports Authority Field.

Right? He’d have to. Right? He’s Peyton Manning. In one season, he turned the Denver Broncos into perhaps the best team in football. He’d get it done.

Yet, what the Flacco-Jones connection did was give Manning another opportunity to add to his playoff misery.

And he did.

This 38-35 Baltimore victory -- sealed 1 minute, 42 seconds into the second overtime -- will always be remembered not only for the Baltimore Bomb (really, can you count five better playoff plays?), but also it is another postseason hit on Manning’s legacy.

With Denver trying to drive for a game-winning field goal late in the first overtime, Manning made a poor decision and was intercepted by Baltimore cornerback Corey Graham at the Denver 45. Baltimore won on a 47-yard field goal six plays later.

The interception was Manning’s third turnover of the game. The turnovers resulted in 17 points for Baltimore, including an interception return for a score by Graham in the first quarter, on a deflected pass.

The loss is another chapter in the one flaw in Manning’s career -- he has not always been clutch in the postseason. Manning is now 9-11 in the playoffs and tied for the most playoff losses by a quarterback. Manning also fell to 0-4 in playoff games when the temperature was below 40 degrees; it was in single digits at the end of the game.

It is fair to pin this loss on Manning and his lack of playoff success?

“He was trying to make a play,” Denver coach John Fox said of Manning’s last interception. “There were a lot of different plays in that game that were costly. That was one of many.”

Fox is correct. This loss was not all on Manning. Not by a long shot. He had moments where he shined, but the stable of Denver goats in this game is crowded.

Second-year safety Rahim Moore might never be forgiven in Denver for allowing Jones to get behind him on the desperation touchdown pass. All Moore had to do was play normal defense, and he blew it. Future Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey gave up to two touchdown passes to Torrey Smith. Late in the second quarter, Fox called for a long field-goal attempt by Matt Prater, which failed and set up a Baltimore touchdown just before the half. Late in the game, Fox got conservative. The vaunted Denver pass rush was nonexistent for much of a game that saw the NFL's No. 2 defense savaged. It also wasn’t a great day for the officials, who made several questionable calls.

In all, it was the perfect formula to suddenly end the season of the NFL’s hottest team and the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Denver rode an 11-game winning streak into the game. Talk of the Super Bowl was real and it was legitimate.

But it all ended it a flurry of crazy occurrences. And Manning -- who had beaten the Ravens nine consecutive times, including last month in Baltimore -- wasn’t there to save his team.

It should have never gotten to the point of Manning needing to rescue the Broncos. According to ESPN Stats & Information’s win-probability model, Denver had a 97.2 percent chance of capturing the game before the Jones touchdown.



Letting Baltimore's Jacoby Jones get behind him was an unfathomable error for Denver's Rahim Moore.

Manning did enough in regulation to help his team to win, despite the first two turnovers. But he also was not perfect. He wasn’t at his best, whether it was due to the weather or the pressure of leading his new franchise to a playoff win.

“I probably wasn’t quite as good as a I wanted be,” Manning said. “And it probably cost us a couple scoring opportunities.”

A master of the short pass, Manning’s fatal interception was his first pick on a throw outside the pocket this season, an example of his struggles throwing short Saturday. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Manning completed 74 percent of his passes for 10 yards or fewer this seasons; Saturday, he completed 65 percent.

He didn’t get much help, though. Manning was under constant duress in the second half. He dropped back 24 times and was pressured 10 times, according to ESPN Stats & Information -- after not being pressured at all in 22 drop-backs in the first half. Manning couldn't single-handedly make up for the sudden lack of protection.

For the past thee months, everything went right for Manning and the Broncos. Saturday, it all crumbled.

In the end, this goes down as a miserable end to a wonderful first season in Denver for Manning. When the shock wears off, Denver will be proud of its campaign. The Broncos weren't expected to be this game. Manning wasn’t expected to play at an MVP level and Denver wasn’t expected to be a Super Bowl contender.

The future is still bright for Denver as it licks the wounds from its most hurtful playoff loss since 1996, when Jacksonville stunned the top-seeded Broncos in Denver. The Broncos responded by winning the next two Super Bowls in John Elway’s final two seasons at the ages of 37 and 38.

Manning will turn 37 in March, right about the time the Broncos, whose staff will now coach in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, will be planning to wipe off the stink of the defeat and try again.

Next season, there will be bigger expectations and constant questions about whether the Broncos can rebound from this horrible day. Until then, we’ll all talk about another disappointing playoff outing for one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
 
Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox brings Broncos to their knees

By Woody Paige
The Denver Post



The cold, hard fact is the Broncos lost everything Saturday.
And they blew it.

They lost the overtime coin toss. They lost a cinch victory with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter by blowing coverage. They lost the game on an intercepted pass late in the fifth quarter. They lost the playoff game early in the sixth quarter on a 47-yard field goal.

They lost their chance at a ninth AFC championship game. They lost the opportunity for the franchise to win a third Super Bowl. Peyton Manning lost the prospect of playing a Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans and winning a second NFL championship.

The Broncos lost the lead four times. They lost two interceptions and a fumble, all Manning turnovers. They lost a dozen arguments with the officials. They lost a rare home playoff game.

The Broncos lost everything from the regular season in one historic postseason game. In a frozen conundrum on a Dr. Zhivago kind of day, in the chilliest and longest playoff game in Denver history, Ravens 38, Broncos 35.

Rather than Holliday, Hillman and the Hallelujah High Way, it was to Hades in a Handbasket.

Everybody shares the blame, but coach John Fox should get more than his share for his conservative approach.

After the Ravens shocked a bitterly cold crowd with a 70-yard balloon bomb from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones, with just over half a minute to go, to tie the game for the fifth time, at 35-35, the Broncos had the ball at their 20-yard line, had two timeouts and had the quarterback who had produced more winning drives in the fourth quarter than anybody else who ever played the game.

What did Fox choose to do?

He had Manning take a knee.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Even though Matt Prater had Charliebrowned a field-goal attempt earlier, scuffing the ground before he kicked the football, the Broncos could have gotten him into range again by picking up about 35 to 40 yards in the final half minute of regulation.

They had time and timeouts for six plays.
You don't want to go into overtime against anyone, but especially against a veteran team that had badly damaged the Broncos' defense four times in four quarters.

Anything can happen in overtime.

And the worst ultimately did.

It's one thing for Fox to order punts on fourth-and-1, or run out the clock at the end of a first half when he also had timeouts to spare. But it's entirely another to not take a legitimate crack at winning the game in regulation when you have Manning and those receivers and a kicker such as Prater.

Remember what happened to the Pittsburgh Steelers a year ago in a playoff game here? The Broncos, Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas beat them on the first play in an extra period. (Thomas caught what should have been the winning touchdown pass in the fourth quarter Saturday.)

In the last playoff game in Denver the unusual occurred. Fox had to know better.

But he surrendered with 30 seconds to go. Manning looked less than in agreement when he took the snap, dropped to a knee, tossed the ball to the referee and departed the field as the clock expired.

Thirty seconds can be an eternity for Manning.

The Broncos couldn't score in overtime, but stopped the Ravens. Then, when the Broncos appeared headed toward victory, Manning, rolling right, tried to thread a throw to Brandon Stokley back over the middle. The Ravens intercepted it.

The steam that rose from the mouths of 75,000 in the near-zero temperatures was the air going out of the stadium.

Three plays.

The plays weren't "Phantom of the Opera," "Wicked" and "Guys and Dolls," but they were big hits back in Baltimore.

The Ravens had only three plays worth anything in the first half and yet they were tied 21-21 at the break. All three went for touchdowns. The first was a 59-yard strike from Flacco to Torrey Smith. That was followed by an interception on a deflected pass for a touchdown, and Flacco and Smith again connected just before halftime. Otherwise, the Ravens would have been frozen out. Instead, they were tied.

The Ravens had only a couple of plays in the second half, but one went for 70 yards with 31 seconds left, and was really, in reflection, enough.

So it seemed they would score in the second overtime following the interception. The Broncos acted finished.

The Ravens did score, and the Broncos were finished.

And, just like that, one of the most successful seasons in Broncos history was over, and success had become failure.

All three teams on the field Saturday generally had issues. The Broncos, the Ravens and the officials, who acted suspiciously like replacements.

But the Broncos were the real losers.
 
Peyton has 40 million reasons to forget about Saturday’s game


peyton1.jpg


Yes, Peyton Manning’s first season with the Broncos didn’t result in the team going any farther than it did a year ago. Still, Denver was good enough to nail down the No. 1 seed in the AFC — before becoming the latest No. 1 seed to be bounced in the divisional round of the playoffs.

But the glass is half full for Peyton. With $40 million.

Peyton acknowledged in August that his five-year, $96 million contract is, in reality, a one-year deal. He knows that because the deal had no guaranteed money beyond the first season. As he embarks on the second season, that’s not the case.

Though characterized by some as a series of one-year, $20 million deals, the truth is that, unless the Broncos cut Manning before the start of the 2013 league year, he’ll be in line for $40 million guaranteed over the next two seasons, with only one narrow caveat. The Broncos will be able to avoid the 2014 salary of $20 million only if he suffers another injury to his neck during the 2013 season.

For any other injury to any other area of his body, Peyton still gets the full $40 million. And it’s very safe to assume that Peyton’s camp will be prepared to argue that not just any “neck” injury voids the 2014 guarantee. Instead, Manning’s people believe that the guarantee goes away only if the neck injury directly relates to the neck injury that derailed his career in Indy.

So while Peyton, the ultimate competitor, has every reasons to be mad a day after missing a chance to host the AFC title game, he has 40 million reasons to get over it, quickly.
 
It's hard to know where to start with the amount of things that went wrong for the Broncos in this game. The bottom line is that we blew it when it was there to be won, most notably Rahim Moore, the single worst blunder in Broncos' history. The fact he admits going for the pick and glory is sickening.

The officials were awful. They may have made errors both ways but not all penalties are equal in impact, and we were repeatedly screwed (no PI call in Q1 when the DB lifted his leg, no PI call in Q1 when they got a pick 6, no tuck rule enforced, the Boldin catch that touched the turf could have gone either way, the PI called on Bailey when the ball was headed out of bounds, the offside on Miller when he timed it perfectly, the PI called on Carter which was actually illegal contact, the crucial holding call on Clady which was a 50/50... pretty sure there's more, I haven't rewatched). Yet we still had it there to be won when it counted, and we failed.

And then there's Fox, still defending his s**t-scared calling. We had 2 TOs and Peyton Manning FFS!! That means the defence are unsure where we'll be putting it (deep, shallow, middle, sidelines... a massive advantage). The decision to run on 3rd down late in Q4 I'll accept, we should be able to defend a 7 point lead with 70 secs left and them with no TOs. I remember Shanny passing against the Colts around 11 years ago in the exact same situation and getting hammered by everyone cos it fell incomplete and we lost.

The pain of this loss is excruciating. Jags 96 was just as bad, although they outplayed us - big difference, and part of that pain was about Elway's last chance to win a ring. That pain was erased completely by the following two seasons. Plus I believed that the Packers would win the SB that year anyway.

This one is one true fans will never get over, unless we win it all next year. We've thrown away the greatest chance to win our third title and who knows when that chance will come around again. I've been stunned since Sunday, absolutely devastated. Only a handful of losses have stayed with me over the years, but this one's up there at #2 for me (82 GF is #1).
 
Broncos need upgrades on defense to retool for a title run



Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice plows ahead for some of his 131 yards rushing Saturday despite Wesley Woodyard's tackle attempt. The Broncos allowed a season high of 479 yards and 38 points in the playoff game. (Joe Amon, The Denver Post)


It sounds hollow after the week that was in the NFL, like yelling into some enormous cave, but the Broncos' long-term success will depend greatly on taking a speed defense and making it a little faster and a little more stout up the middle.

Sure, that smacks of a little nuttiness given the just-completed, offensive festival that was the divisional round. It was the highest-scoring weekend in NFL playoff history, as all four winning teams scored at least 30 points. There were 276 points scored in the four games combined — an average of 69 points per game.

Those are arms race totals, with everybody searching for ways to keep up. But the Broncos already can keep up.

The Broncos sported one of the league's top defenses all season, finishing No. 4 in scoring defense and No. 2 in total defense — yards allowed per game. They led the league in sacks as well as third-down defense. But Saturday, the Broncos' defense surrendered 31 of the Ravens' 38 points, sacked Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco only once and allowed Baltimore to pile up big plays.

The first 300-yard passing game of the season against the Broncos came from Flacco. Cincinnati's Andy Dalton was the closest in the regular season, with 299 yards. The Ravens' 479 yards were a season high against the Broncos' defense.

Those would all be alarming numbers in any game, let alone one with a trip to the AFC championship game on the line.

"It wasn't one of our better efforts," Broncos coach John Fox said. "We're going into the third year of our process. We've come a long way from where were two years ago, and we're going to keep moving to improve."

Defense is an important enough item on John Elway's things-to-do list to have used his opening pick of his first two drafts on defense. Von Miller was a defensive player-of-the-year candidate for much of the season, and Derek Wolfe started every game and was third on the team with six sacks.

But the Ravens pounded away at the middle of the group, repeatedly getting running back Ray Rice loose. The Broncos need attention in the middle of the defensive line and more depth and impact at linebacker, especially when they go to nickel, where they need another playmaker to pair alongside Wesley Woodyard.

The linebacker issue showed in coverage as well. The Ravens' tight ends did Saturday what tight ends have done all season — catch passes for important yardage.

Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson combined for six receptions for 84 yards. For the season, that was a continuous problem. With those totals, the Broncos' defense allowed tight ends to catch 87 passes for 1,028 yards and 11 touchdowns.

That's an average of five receptions for 60.5 yards per game into the heart of the defense. And that's most often a linebacker/safety issue. So, the Broncos figure to take a long look at linebackers in the upcoming draft.

Their depth was enough of an issue before the season that they signed Keith Brooking after training camp started, and he worked himself into the starting role, even before Joe Mays' season-ending injury.

While the Broncos got more than many expected from their rotation at defensive tackle — usually Kevin Vickerson, Justin Bannan and Mitch Unrein — they'll need some more impact there if the defense is going to make the most of its ability to get to the passer.

And given no personnel executive in these pass-happy times will believe he has enough cornerbacks on the roster, the Broncos will be looking there too. The Broncos believe Omar Bolden will get himself into the mix in the nickel and dime looks next season, but they'll need some tweaks on the depth chart there. Since the start of December, the Broncos surrendered seven pass plays of at least 40 yards, including two of the Ravens' touchdowns Saturday.

And that's a big-play total unbecoming to a top-five defense and just the kind of plays that sent them into the offseason this time around.

Broncos promote Adam Gase to offensive coordinator

300x-48.jpg


Neither Ken Whisenhunt nor Tom Moore is going to be the next offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the team will promote quarterbacks coach Adam Gase to offensive coordinator. Gase replaces Mike McCoy, who left the team to become head coach of the Chargers this week.

Whisenhunt was linked with the job on Wednesday after the Eagles hired Chip Kelly and it became clear that Whisenhunt wasn’t landing another head coaching job after being fired by the Cardinals at the end of the regular season. Moore’s name came up because of his connections to Peyton Manning from Indianapolis and his own desire to return to a coordinator position after spending the last couple of years consulting with the Jets and Titans.

In the end, though, the Broncos opted for continuity. Gase has been on the staff since 2009, serving first as the wide receivers coach before moving up to work with Manning and the other quarterbacks. That experience working with Manning and the fact that Manning can take on some of the play calling burden from the line of scrimmage likely helped convince John Fox that Gase could handle the promotion at 34 years of age.

New OC Gase promises “pedal to the metal” for Manning

350x20.jpg


New Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase is 34 years old, and is calling plays for the first time.

The fact he’s calling them for a 36-year-old quarterback in Peyton Manning who has effectively been calling his own since Gase was in college doesn’t faze the recently promoted quarterbacks coach.

“I absolutely think I’m ready and I’m not nervous about calling plays,” Gase said Thursday, in comments distribute by the team. “You have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time as your quarterback — I’m excited. I’m thrilled to be able to have that opportunity.

“We’re looking to go pedal to the metal and play as fast as possible and be aggressive and score as many points as possible every game.”

The Broncos had enough confidence in Gase to promote him quickly, opting for continuity, and developing what was installed by former coordinator Mike McCoy and Manning this year.

And while he’s younger and not nearly as well-known as the guy he’s in charge of now, Gase doesn’t give the impression of being in awe.

“Peyton Manning wants to be coached,” Gase said. “He does a great job of, when you give him a play, if it needs to be better, he does a great job of putting you in that play. It’s the best situation possible for a guy calling plays. If you call something and it’s not good, he fixes it and puts you in a better play. That’s what he does that’s so great that I don’t think people admire enough. That’s why you don’t see a lot of bad plays with him.”

Asked if Manning ever ran out of questions, Gase replied: “That would be a firm ‘No.’

“When he asks questions, you’re sitting there going, ‘Gosh, that’s a great question.’ You’re sitting there thinking, you almost want to say to yourself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that? That’s a great question to ask.’ You’ve got to find answers. If you don’t know the answers that second, you better go investigate and find out what the answers are.”

The Broncos had opportunities to bring in more experienced coaches, but the trust they’re putting in Gase is a sign of the respect the young Gase has earned in a short time.
 
my Denver mock draft

FA: Steven Jackson, RB

Round 1: Eric Reid S, LSU
Round 2: Ryan Swope WR, TX AM
Round 3: Brandon Williams DT, Missouri St
Round 4: Tyrann Mathieu DB, LSU
Round 5: David Bass DE, Missouri Western St
Round 6: Philip Lutzenkirchen TE, Auburn
Round 7: Zac Stacy RB, Vanderbilt

I first heard of Lutzenkirchen on a Broncos board and after injury and an average (not bad, not great) combine I think he can be the biggest draft steal of the draft. Holds the record for TE tds for auburn both in a season and career..and three game winning tds

Honey Badger alert!!

 
Happy with the Welker get today... still need to sort out whats happening in the secondary though, and perhaps take another look at the RB pool

I don't think we would be paying Champ 10 mil if they didn't think he could and will be playing CB at a high level this year. Harris is a lock for the other side. Carter has been good and Bolden should see more playing time. Depth and the future will certainly be looked at, but when your aim is to win next year's superbowl there are more pressing needs in the first round (unless Rhodes or Trufant fall).

Moore was actually good last year and entering his 3rd year he will improve again. He will also be looking to make amends. Adams needs to be upgraded for sure, but I think Carter will get first crack. Depth is a serious issue which will definitely be improved on.

Basically I think the secondary could be improved, but it is in a good state (especially when it's compared to the ILB position).

My dream mock would be
Trade out of the first and try to get A.Brown who I think could be a three down backer.
2. David Amerson who is an aggressive who can also be plugged into safety if need be.
3. Barret Jones
4. Best available RB (hopefully Bell or Lattimore if he looks healthy)
5. Tony Jefferson
6. Joseph Fauria
7. Akeeme Spence
 
Just read a little about new DB Kayvon Webster.

He said the first thing he will do when paid is pay his mothers bills up to date

Some fans seem to think that he will be bought in to play as safety, which makes sense considering how many CBs we have, and Webster wasn't an interception machine during college, and was more of a tackler

** Something I didn't realize **

For the Broncos, the college free agent signing period has been an especially fruitful one for the last decade. At least one undrafted rookie has made the club's Week 1 roster for nine consecutive seasons -- the third-longest active streak in the league.
“Well it is (important)," Elway said. "As soon as the draft is over there is chaos for an hour straight. (We were) trying to get as many CFAs signed as we wanted."
The Broncos currently have 25 players that began their NFL career as college free agents: Mike Adams,Lance Ball, Justin Boren, Aaron Brewer, Mario Butler, Tony Carter, Chris Clark,Britton Colquitt, Paul Cornick, C.J. Davis, Mario Fannin, Ben Garland,Blake Gideon, Chris Harris, Duke Ihenacho, Jeremiah Johnson, Steven Johnson, Greg Orton, Matt Prater, Quentin Saulsberry, Gerell Robinson, Sealver Siliga,Mitch Unrein, Wes Welker and Wesley Woodyard.

No surprise really. Had a good career there after being a Raven back up... tier 2 RB.

Just emphasises Montee Ball as ready to go. :thumbsu:
 
Really hope Montee Ball can become an elite RB. Still debatable over who will start #1 on the depth chart out of Ball and Moreno but I think Ball will take close to 50% of the handoffs if he's not #1. Im pretty sure Hillman is the silky burst HB at the moment similar to De'Anthony Thomas out of Oregon. Looking forward to the rush game this season :)
