Stop me if you've heard this one...

I don't see anything wrong with Denver's playoff performance. They lost to a really good Ravens team that's been in the AFC Championship three of the past five years. They lost in overtime by a 47yd field goal. Also their QB turned the ball over three times and they lost their starting running back in the game. Also they missed a field goal of their own that may have changed the complexion of the game.

I wonder if many of you even watched the game. Broncos weren't perfect but they had countless opportunities to win the game and couldn't seal the deal. Also many here have bashed Fox for a run on 3rd and 7 late in the game, a play that Peyton Manning has said he was the one who actually called for a run.

Before it was Fox couldn't be consistent. Now that he's been to the second week of the playoffs in back-to-back years his naysayers are grasping for straws.

Manning was allowed 43 pass attempts in the game, but we're to believe Fox held him back.

"(He) played well enough for us to win."

- John Fox, regarding Peyton Manning's performance in yesterday's playoff game (link)

In fairness, he's probably right about that, but Fox also said if he had it to do over again, he'd still have called for the kneel downs that he did "ten out of ten times".

Can't say I agree on that front.

I still like the run play on 3rd and long, they needed 7 yards to pick up a first down and they would have won the game and what do they do??? run the ball. it was stuff like that which infuriated me with Fox, glade he's gone, some other fan base can enjoy the 3rd and long run plays for a change.

I've heard that he admitted to the calling the play on the INT that ended the game but not the run, where did you hear that?

He's not a bad coach....he's just not a great coach.

he finds ways to lose games, but he's a pretty good coach.
