Philly played the best of anybody on our offense that game

[t96]

Pretty unbelievable if you ask me. He's probably our 8th best offensive player and he played better than all of them before going down, in my opinion. This is why we lost. Our entire offense aside from Philly played poorly. Denver's defense is great that is true, but our offense was much better this season than they played on Sunday. As Olsen said, we moved the ball well and then made critical errors at the worst possible times. Shula didn't help out much but I'm not going to blame him because player execution was just as big a factor. Philly played his heart out, got open at will and would have put up 100 yards and a TD (if not for the facemask) if Cam didn't overthrow him a few times and that was before missing most of the second half with a concussion. I honestly like the future of our WR group. They were collectively terrible against the Broncos but with KB, who's a bonafide star receiver and was primed for a dominant season before going down in TC, back and the continued development of Funchess and Philly and having Ginn not forced into a #1 role but in a role where we can utilize his skill set to the fullest, I think this group can be pretty damn good.

I'll never understand why the coaching staff didn't approach Von Miller with the same regard as JJ Watt.

Philly and Ealy were probably the 2 brightest spots during the Super Bowl.  I feel really good about our WR corp and our team going into next year.  Philly played his heart out.

And to be honest, I don't think the game had anything to do with heart.  The Broncos had a better game plan, and more importantly, they executed a lot better. Simple and painful as that.

I wrote about that in a post yesterday.  It's like they didn't trust the offensive line early in the season and wanted to make sure we had a gameplan against JJ Watt, but I guess along the way we started playing better and they got deluded into thinking Remmers could hold up against Miller.

Overall Ginn played pretty well too.

This is exactly my feelings as well.  I think the coaching staff went into this game thinking Remmers would be fine against Miller.  I just wish they had some sort of a back up plan in place if that didn't work out ( obviously, it was a big time fail ).

It's almost as if Denver saw this and told Talib to take him out if he could

[LinvilleGorge]

The downfield catch that knocked him out was tremendous, but he did drop a crucial ball across the middle on 3rd down that would've given us a 1st down conversion and probably put us in scoring range if I remember correctly.

The receivers (minus Cotchery) weren't the problem. Cam getting killed, RBs coughing the ball up, and false starts were the problem.

He should've caught that but I wouldn't call it a drop. Two Denver guys hit him and one got his arms in there. In the Super Bowl you gotta make those plays though and I was pissed about that (literally screaming at my TV to put him on a plane to Charlotte at halftime or something like that). Aside from that play he was dominating, getting open consistently and catching tough balls like the one he got hurt on.

I'm not going to loop all over Denver in that but Talib is a disgrace to the league.  Him and Burfict are the 2 dirtiest players in the game.

Glad to see him recover from a disastrous preseason to be a key contributor all year and especially in the playoffs.

[LinvilleGorge]

It'll be yet another slap in the face of the whole "player safety" push if Talib isn't suspended for that bullshit facemask penalty that he admitted was intentional.

I only say someone told him because I don't think he's smart enough to come up with that on his own
