Wow, the Broncos whine even when they win.

If it was Rivers I'd want McCoy to do the same. But it looked like he initially hit him just above the knee.

Wasn't Liuget on the ground and reached out and grabbed Peyton's legs? At the time I don't remember ever thinking there was anything remotely close to a dirty play.

F Manning and F Del Rio. If they want to be careful with him they could have ran there.

If the picture from this link is the same play then there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

I'd rather we not look like whiners unless that would somehow give us some extra wins.

I thought it was a penalty when I watched it. I thought they made a rule the year after Brady was lost for a season that states a defensive player cannot hit a QB from the ground? Also, I thought a defense could not hit a QB at the knees/below the knees?

In real time it looked like Luiget was coming from the ground and hit right at the knees (his head above the knee with him wrapping below the knee). IMO could have gone either way.

It could. There is a reason Manning and Brady usually get those calls. I guarantee Manning would've got a 15 yard penalty had he slid and got hit like Rivers did.

100%. Rivers should have too, that was bullshit.

He hit him above the knee, it was quite clean. Whaa, we want to throw it to seal the game with an 8 point lead, but you can't hit our QB.
