If Broncos fans want to take any solace in the loss to the Colts – and that’s a big thing to ask after Denver failed in a couple of big ways – it’s that their team is not happy.

Following the 27-24 loss on Sunday, the players had their communication devices firing on all cylinders, sending messages to fans, each other and the rest of the league.

As Omar Bolden put it in true 21st century form, the Broncos aren’t looking at this as a loss. We’ll translate his hashtag for you: “No losses, only lessons learned.”

Bolden had some good perspective on his big punt return for a touchdown, which kickstarted the Broncos scoring and kept them in the game heading to halftime.

Here’s how the rest of the team responded both directly, and via the media following the loss…

T.J. Ward had some words of encouragement and some words about the penalty called against him on TY Hilton…

Here’s what Ward had to say through the team media channels…

Peyton Manning was his usual non-specific self when speaking at the postgame press conference…

Luckily, other players were more forthright about the game.

Chris Harris Jr. owned a tough performance for himself and the secondary. They allowed 245 passing yards, their second-highest total of the year…

 

Linebacker Danny Trevathan is ready to get back to work and put this one behind him…

Ronnie Hillman is staying positive, despite gaining just one yard on seven carries…

And Bennie Fowler wants to keep those positive vibes going…

After a tough day on the ground, C.J. Anderson was short and sweet with his thoughts…

But Emmanuel Sanders probably put it best…

Not everyone had a “stinky” day, though. Malik Jackson had a monster day (perhaps his best as a pro), but took the loss as a team and has his mind focused on the next opponent already…

And even though they’re not playing anymore, Ed McCaffrey and Shannon Sharpe got in on the conversation as well, offering some real perspective…
