We abandoned the run in 2nd quarter.....and TOP goes into TB favor.
Bates is pissing me off
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
I want to See Pittman run it.
He runs hard, and we need that against this physical defense. Why not let him be the feature back for once?
3-1.
he is an 11 year vet
if he gets beat up, then who do we go to?

Dude...
Everytime we run we end up in 2nd and long…why would you continue running?
Running on 1st down is the reason our offense is struggling!
GO BRONCOS!!!
by UnarmingMermaid on Oct 5, 2008 3:33 PM MDT up reply actions
We can run...
But not on first down…We’re a team now that needs to set up the run with pass. Teams like that need to pass on 1st down and then run on 2nd and short!
GO BRONCOS!!!

Penalties...
the big story of the 1st half…Broncos killed themselves with them…

absolutely agree.
If we can pull out to a 2 game lead again going into our soft schedule and their brutal one, we should win the AFC West.
3-1.

I want
a turnover on the first TB possession, change the field position battle to our favor
Jason
The Hanging Curve
If our O can settle down,
be patiens, play within themselves, and not committ penalties, then we should win. If we can keep the chains moving and keep our defense off the field, that’s the key. How we adjust will define us as a team.
3-1.
Though I've gotta say this:
Prater has made me forget all about Jason Elam. The kid’s got a LEG! I want to see him kick it into the end zone again!
3-1.
I want to see Pittman as the feature back until Torain gets healthy.
He runs with authoritah, unlike Selvin “pussyfoot” Young.
3-1.
Entering back into la-la-land--but ready to bail--for some reason
The best defense is a good offense!
I hope.

Here we go again: http://thefulldeck.blogspot.com/
We got a stop on first down... settle down everyone.
We did the same thing in the first half. We’ll hold them to a field goal and set our offense loose.
3-1.
