Every team in these playoffs dont play the same kind of football Coach T did.

He spent 19 years not understanding this.

Breaking news. Nix broke his ankle. When, did I miss this?

He was walking on the field doing handshakes after the GW FG
Broncos coach Sean Payton said Bo Nix (ankle) broke a bone in his ankle and will miss the remainder of the playoffs.

Imagine being Patriots or Texans knowing if you win, Jarret Stidham is who you have to beat to make Super Bowl

Here is the detail now
is an absolute shockwave after the Broncos survived the Bills in overtime of the Divisional Round. Nix reportedly hurt the ankle on the second-to-last play of regulation. Jarrett Stidham would seem to be in line to start the AFC Championship game at home against the winner of Patriots/Texans next Sunday. Nix’s season ends with a 3931-25-11 passing line in the regular season, along with a 279-3-1 game against the Bills in the Divisional Round. Nix didn’t exactly take a notable step forward in his second season, but he was clutch — he led the league with seven game-winning drives — and he’d already shown enough talent to be a low-end franchise quarterback in his rookie year. Assuming this injury isn’t something that will sideline him for multiple months of the offseason, he’ll likely enter 2026 as a low-end QB1 in fantasy circles.

“It’s not good news,” Payton said. “On the second-to-last play in overtime, Bo fractured a bone in his right ankle. He’s scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday of this week, which will put him out for the rest of the season. [Stidham] is ready to go.”
"I'm institutionalized, man," he joked. "I gotta have it. I just love the challenges week in and week out that this job provides: the growth in it, the collective growth, the individual growth."

That's Jack Youngblood level shit winning in OT on a broken ankle

Tough break

Bring in Joe Flacco?

Why not? They won on two DPI moonballs.

With Buff out of it and Denver down to a back-up QB, all that should have stood in our way was 2nd year Drake Maye.

But yet again we were a speed bump. And against a team and QB that begged for us to take that game from them.

The salas interviews sure looked to take away focus. This game should have been way closer

Nearly every year in the post-season we see this. The refs will eat their flags or call something one way all game long only to switch it up in crunch time and swing a game for one team.

I don't care what motive or reasoning you want to assign to it. Call it a conspiracy. This shit is just terrible to watch and I don't know how *more* people don't notice it. It's blatant.

Maybe Bo Nix wins that game without the officials help, but we'll never really know because most his game winning drive in OT was geared around flags.

Carl Scheffers was ref. Isn't he the same guy that bungled the explanation in Steelers Detroit?

I am so glad he is gone. I'm done thinking about him from now on.
