We knew going into yesterday's match-up between Denver and St. Louis that those confidently predicting a Broncos blow-out were either stupid or delusional. After all, the Rams are a better team than their record indicates, with a win over Seattle standing as Exhibit A. But even we were stunned by the desultory way Peyton Manning and company collapsed en route to a 22-7 embarrassment. Afterward, Twitter Nation debated whether the contest was a momentary slip or an indication of much greater problems. Count down the twenty most memorable tweets below, supplemented by photos from the game.
