Here now, my take on what I'm sure everyone was waiting to hear: just how good was the half-time entertainment, Antigravity?

I can honestly say: it was okay.  Those odd jumping boot thingies were interesting, and we got to see a new world record set on consecutive backflips using them.  History, folks.  Then they had four guys, two trampolines, and a wall.  Fun to watch, overall.

Other than that, it was a pretty tame afternoon.  *twitch, twitch*

My voice is gone, and I nearly took today off to recover.  I have never, NEVER been in a stadium going as berserk as INVESCO Mile High after the 2-point conversion.  Here are my REAL thoughts after the game.

Keep in mind the following.  We were at the top of the stadium.  Literally.  No one behind us.  Great for seeing the field, not so great for fine detail.  I have read little and seen less on the controversial plays.  Therefore, I don't have much to add on those plays.

• Jay Cutler wa a little too amped up at the end of the game.  I believe this game as personal, and he was trying just a bit too hard.  The interception and "fumble" seemed to be results of Jay pressing more than he should of.  I don't expect to see those mistakes very often.
• Sproles' return for a TD changed the game.  Before that point, the crowd was going crazy.  After that, it took awhile to bring the noice back up.  Without that return, the Broncos roll the Chargers.
• There were some shaky calls going both ways.  I added a new "how can they not call the block in the back?!?!?!" incident to my memory, right up there with some of Dante Hall's returns.
• I was disappointed in Prater's lack of touchbacks.  I was expecting more in the thin air.  A 52-yard field goal will earn some forgiveness, however.
• Kerns' few punts looked great.  Great distance, and pinned the returner into a corner.  Special teams aren't there yet, but they're improving.
• The defense needs to find ways of getting off the field on 3rd and more-than-three.
• On many of the painful long receptions, one name kept showing up (to me, at least): Karl Paymah.  I could be wrong, but it seemed like SD found the weak spot and kept attacking it.  Not sure if this was bad play by Paymah or...
• ...the lack of pressure on Rivers.  I kept hoping for it.  I kept praying for it.  It never came.  We're in for a heart burn-inducing season if the QBs have that much time all season.  We are saved by...
• ...the offense.  It is for real.  I can't speak highly enough of the offensive line.  Others have mentioned this, but a line that young should not be playing that well.  The play calling is...crazy.  The receiving talent is incredible.  And given time, Jay Cutler will dissect any defense.

One little story, just to re-emphasize how draining that game was.  Crowd is off the hook after Eddie gets the 2-pt conversion.  In the middle of that, I'm the first person around to notice we have a man down...and I'm pretty sure it's Eddie.  The crowd slowly starts to go quiet...just in time for Eddie to jump up, pump his fists, and start the party over again.  That should be it...only, there's still 24 seconds on the clock, Broncos only lead by 1...and we have to kick to Sproles.  Stomaches tighten up again, and they won't relax for another five minutes or so (the solid ST stop helped a bit).

I won't forget this game, and I doubt anyone else (SD fans included) will either.
