Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans
August 9th, 2008 - 6:00pm MST
Reliant Stadium - Houston, TX
The 49th Season of Denver Broncos football gets underway tonight as the Broncos head south to face good friend Gary Kubiak and the Houston Texans.
Since the game is only available locally to watch on television, I will not be able to see it until 10PM est, tomorrow, when the NFL Network re-broadcasts it in it's entirely. I will be relying on you guys and gals to keep us informed in this Open Thread.
Remember, the comments are auto-refreshing so talk early and often!!!

NFL Re-broadcast time
The NFL network will actually be re-broadcasting it at 1 am EST/12 AM CST/11 MST/10PST Sunday night/Monday morning. I went looking so I could DVR it and really check out how well we play.
I've only got Game Center
and that looked horrible!

I can't see it live however
I am able to listen to it on 850 KOA. Zappa has a fanshot with links to listen to Broncos game on the internet for those who can’t see it live.
I just got on and heard about Boss. I hope it isn’t anything serious.
I’ll find out everything when they air it Sunday.
What's the link
The only I found isn’t working…

he looks about 6/7
Michael Fabiano really knows nothing about football outside of regression analysis and stat extrapolation. If it doesn’t have to do with fantasy football, his opinion is worthless.
He looks good...
...Royal just made his second nice catch

finally some positive rushing yards for Selvin

no, Selvin Young need to keep his ass out there. 4 carries for 3 yards is not enough for me.

He had some great receptions tho!
A lot of them were run like passes!

The best part of this game so far is we held a team inside our ten to a field goal
This is very good news
and
we scored a touchdown in our red zone!!!!!

Red zone
The Harris penalty would have killed them in the red zone last year. Nicely done by Jay to put it in the end zone.

i doubt they give Bly the boot...they will wait till next year to do that ;)

Just a side note
I’ve got the Olympics on TV, Broncos on NFL Game Center (with KOA), Rockies on GameDay, and a Newcastle!
Ah, the good life!

With Champ in there many of these passes would not happen...
but I would like to see some pass rush.
our defensive line needs time to develop continuity...
they are fairly new to each other….the carosel is hopefully over though.

thats ok...i couldnt figure out why my audio wasnt working on NFL.com until someone
mentioned it only played when a team was in the red zone. lol
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
What a difference from last year---Our rush defense--which is a key--looks really good
Let’s hope it looks as good with a team that has a good rushing game.
DJ Williams was in on a few pass plays too...that dude is going to have a big year.
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
if Young comes out then
it will be obvious that there is no challenge to his hold on 1st string. yet anyway
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
Hall returned the kick, so probably will be SY on 1st down

i recall saying that Royal would be our starter at some time this year....
it appears he is almost a starter before the season begins. the next Steve Smith…without the attitutude problems
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
yay...we need to go sign Bradlee Van Pelt

No worries however, Cutler is going to be one of those that nevr gets hurt
Don’t know why I no this—but it is true. We still need to take a closer look at Hckney

what do you guys think about taking a look
at Leftwich—-he has to be better than Ramsey
at this point...if Hackney isnt ready then I'd spend the extra money on Leftwich
If God is not a Bronco fan, then WHY are sunsets Blue and Orange? - Jon Tollerud 5/22/08
Texans = 9 carries for 29 yards. better

Ramsey, just hand it off

I'm worried too...I didn't think I would need to put Prater on my list,
but 30 yards is like a PAT…..
You know that miss just destroyed his confidence too.

You are welcome.

Keep in mind we won the first team battle 7-3,,,,and this is against Kubiak who knows Shanny's mind.
again I'm sorry to be a pessimist..
...but there was a LOT more to be worried about that half than there was to be excited about!!! I hope we can turn it around.

Cutler looked good...that's good news!!!
