Heck of a throw by Maye on the flea flicker.

Maye is incredible on those mid range touch passes. Reminds me of young Ben honestly.

If NE made it 13-7, I think the game might've be over. Denver looked dead.

That FG they didnt try is still looming large..i love this type of game where options narrow and the weather plays a huge role..watching with friends and they disagree! Lol

Yeah, sometimes coaches simply just outcoach themselves being over agressive early in games.

Looked like Claypool on that 3rd and 6. Travesty receiver didn’t bring his A game to the playoffs and catch that easy pass.

Let the ball get into his chest, I think. Really bad effort, IMO

All white uniforms will be a visibility issue for Mayes. Might help in the end and force them to do what they should do anyway, which is turtle and run, run run.

They might need a big play from their defense.

True, but don’t leave your feet ala Claypool unless it is necessary. He jumped and got too high and was in between body catch and hand catch because he jumped. Doesn’t jump it is a hand catch!

3rd and 10 might as well be 3rd and 20 with the weather.

One decent hit and that ball is coming out for either side.

If….IF the donko’s win here they will be annihilated in the SB.

By either team or are you assuming 49ers? I have not seen SEA all year.

Seattles D is insane.

These two teams are not very good.

This game is over unless there is a turnover close to the goal line.

I’d just punt on 3rd down the rest of the game if I was Ne.

once and for all on not kicking the FG....DEN didn't think 10 points would be enough to win the game. They were right.

If he knew the weather was coming in, maybe not such a bad decision? Or maybe that makes it a worse decision.

I know conditions suck, but Denver has barely thrown the ball down field. 90% of their passes been behind the line of scrimmage. . Now, they throw way down field and it gets picked. They just lost!

I’d take a knee on 1st and 2nd down and punt on 3rd. Nobody is scoring from an unreturned punt!

I am rooting for L.A. but either NFC team will eat Denver’s lunch in the SB.

Stidham is hot ass and they can’t hope to get beyond this point with him at QB.

Denver started out with playcalling the put Stidham in favorable situations. That 3rd and 5 call was terrible though and that's when things changed. After the TO turned into 7 points, the Broncos playcalling has put him in bad situations almost every time.
