Yep, very ready for football....
… unfortunately I’ll be lucky to make it to kickoff, much less any further. I stayed up until 5am this morning to watch the Rays win the pennant (and kick in the teeth another certain Massachusetts-based team that I happen to hate) and I’ve got a busy day tomorrow, so I may just leave this in y’all’s capable hands. Beating the Patriots would be doubly sweet: 1) the Broncos would win, duh, and 2) It would inflict even more pain on those poor ol’ Boston fans.

Right now
it’s 12:22 am. Game starts at 1:30. Yeah, I dunno if this is going to happen.

I am definitely ready for some football!
Have been ever since last week. Come on Shanny, let’s keep your record against Bellicek up! Also, I want to see Royal have some more success tonight.
Predictions before the season began: 11-5 and a top five offense (I was probably too conservative).

This is the first time I've watched MNF at home since it went to ESPN
The best defense is a good offense!
I hope.
Part of me wants our defense to step up tonight...
….but if the Broncos win and the total score is 48 I win $95 dollars so maybe they don’t have to stop EVERYTHING… haha

Vincent: A (Eddie) Royale with cheese.
Jules: A (Eddie) Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart mother******. That's right. The metric system.
Or the Broncos could win 48-0
That would work, right?

my guess
is they’d rather have pass rushers to cream Cassel then worry so much about the depth-limited RB corps of new england

Eventually my heart won’t be able to take it. I would like this game to reflect our first Monday night game of the year.

I agree--I don't want serious butterflies late in the game.
The best defense is a good offense!
I hope.
At least Royal is playing
And we get to see if Moss/ Crowder can improve. It’s also great that Ekuban will be active again.

Oh no...
On the MNF pregame on ESPN they’re gonna talk about Cutler comparing his arm to Elway. And they said one of Elway’s former teammates will comment. My guess is Tom Jackson

Well Jay has a stronger arm than the one Elway used to win two SBs.

I hope.
I have no problem with Cutler's comment
There’s nothing wrong with having confidence. Elway himself was always pretty cocky and it seemed to work out for him.

Actually, I think Elway had better touch after he popped that muscle or tendon or whatever it was in his shoulder.

original source is the Arizona Republic
part of an article about all teh coaches who could be on the move
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/sports/articles/2008/10/19/20081019spt-nflinsider.html

Shanny would have left before now. He has said he has his QB that will probably keep him coaching for another 10 years

Not when his owner lets him do virtually whatever he wants, and where he has the best job security in the league. If he didn’t leave for the Notre Dame job, I can’t imagine him leaving now.

Just got back from my JV football game, won 26-12, made the most amazing play in the history of football (I’ll tell the story if anyone cares) and I will not be back until later because I am extremely hungry.

I won’t dominate the thread today; I’ll just be here during timeouts and for big plays. I want to get an even 2000 comments by the end of the day; I’m at 1791 right now. Go Broncos!

You were right about entertainment Guru. Keyshawn wanted NE because he wants to make up from 2-4; Stuart picked NE because Cassel is starting as a backup ahead of oher QB’s he backed up?
I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand - Confucius
I loved Stuart's logic
Matt Cassel backed up a whole bunch of very good Qbs who are now hurt. Therefore Matt Cassel is good
I take back my comments on Bermen, Stuart is a bigger tool.

Why they need that many guys is beyond me, boil it down to Young, Jackson and Young and get a better host

Don't remember if this was posted during the week
From a Bill Belichek press conference
Does their offense look similar now to when they had John Elway was there?
BB: The thing about Denver’s offense is that it kind of looks different every week. It is so game planned. We have played them in games where it has been all slot. Then there have been other games where there is no slot. Then you see games where there is a lot of empty. Then there are games where there is no empty. There are games where there are a lot of boots. Then there are other games where they don’t boot that much or they run all the boots one way one week and the other week they mix them up and the other week they run them the other way. It is very much specific to the team that they are playing. What are you going to see? Some weeks you see a bunch of screens and the next week you don’t see any screens. Over the course of a few games I think we have seen everything that we would normally see from Denver. But the amount of it, the number of snaps that they run of one particular thing is very specific to the team they are playing [and] how they want to attack it.
Oh my!
Shanny and Bill are both 56. I don’t care. . . .
