Really surprised Demaryius played almost the whole game with a separated shoulder. Not gonna question that dude's toughness anymore. Welker was solid, too. Outside of maybe DT and Knighton, those three were the only ones that seemed like they had a decent game.
The Broncos just weren't getting anything out of their run game. A bunch of -2 to 2 yard runs. The thing with Peyton is that if the team can't get 3 or more yards regularly on 1st or 2nd down, he's going to stop running the ball. He's done this in Indy and with the Broncos (and he's talked about it before - not just about running the ball, but running the ball effectively). This swings both ways too, as you saw with the first NE game when he didnt really throw much until the end of the game to catch up. I'm not saying it's a good way to handle it, it's just the way he is. He's rarely going to send his RB into a defense that looks like they're playing the run well (and it always felt like at least 2 LBs were held in to check the run, even if that wasnt really the case).
Broncos already making some practice team signings and future contracts. Not really familiar with most of the players, but it looks like they're getting prepared in case theres a large loss of players in FA.
