The broncos do have better receivers but where else do they really have an advantage.

Umm... problem. You must take human error into account. That's part of football. Rules and the way they are enforced are all part of the game. Can you take away the Pat's first title because of the infamous "tuck" rule? No. Rules and ref's are part of the game. If a ref whistles a pass incomplete, it cannot be challenged. Sorry. Heck, if there was no such thing as refs deciding games, the Bears would have won the game vs. Tampa Bay when Peanut Tillman was called for an Unsportsmanlike Conduct (maybe roughness, don't remember exactly) on third down with Tampa Bay backed up inside their 15. He was breaking up a fight (actually, a Bucs player took a swing at Alex Brown, and Tillman knocked that guy off of the pile), but was called for a penalty. The Bucs scored on that drive and won the game. But the Bears didn't get a win for it, and neither does San Diego. The Bears would have made the playoffs without that call too. (I am a bitter Bears fan, lol)
