    After the Horn Ep. 33 | Why the Broncos Didn't Beat the Patriots

    The panel begins by dissecting the Broncos’ AFC Championship loss and whether Sean Payton overvalued and oversold Jarrett Stidham after Bo Nix’s injury. Woody Paige presents an extensive list of responsibility that stretches beyond the quarterback, pointing to coaching decisions, missed field goals, poor weather preparation, the grounds crew, and even ownership. The discussion examines why Denver failed to adjust to the snow, why a field goal was passed up at a pivotal moment, and how New England was better prepared for the elements. From there, the focus shifts to officiating errors, roster depth, and a lack of impact offensive skill players compared to teams still standing. The show then pivots to a broader philosophical debate about “windows” in the NFL, using historical Broncos examples and league trends to argue that championship chances are never guaranteed year to year. The episode wraps with a forward-looking breakdown of Denver’s offseason challenges, including potential coaching departures, draft position, free-agent spending, and the urgent need to upgrade at wide receiver, running back, and along the offensive line.
