DOOM and the TERRIBLE TEN

by Joe Medina on Oct 6, 2009 10:44 PM MDT Comment 32 comments

Well folks, it seems we've come to quite a conundrum this year. I ain't talkin' about The Glove or the Immaculate Deflection either, Jack. I'm talking about the 11 men that take the field and make the fans salivate and quarterbacks urinate. I'm not talking about your mother's defense either, Sally. No sir, I'm talking about none other than the Broncos defense. We've been in a conundrum as to a name for this defense. You've got yourself the Orange Crush of '77, the Steel Curtain in the 70's, and other fancy pants nicknames that make you dance with glee. Well, we're not dancing anymore, cowboy. We've got ourselves a mean defense, and without further ado, I present......

Assets

I did not know the site had an “assets” section. I looked for something like that on the homepage and did not find it. Stupid me, I guess. But where do I find the “assets”?

Assets

Is a term we webmasters use for content. Examples are images, videos, audio, etc. It is basically a place to put your content so you know where to find it.

Thanks for the education Rzeppa

Thank you indeed

I always hoped that someone would keep my assets somewhere so that I could find it. Turns out that they did…If I was an opposing QB, I’d find a place to put my assets so that I could find it after Doom hit me…

PS Refreshing

I’m having trouble with refreshing today (and Darin H also and maybe others). Normally when I read an article and refresh the already read posts turn white. The new unread posts are in yellow. That is not happening today. I visited WCG for kicks and the same thing is happening there, so it is not the color theme change today.

I got this reply from SBNation:

We had to disable this functionality this morning for performance reasons. It will be added back at some point soon, but I do not have an ETA.

I like it but

it’s a little too close to “terrible towel” for me… ; )

I like where you’re going with it though, very much.

Conversation nonstarters: hoping McDaniels fails, comparing Bears to Broncos, Cutler to Orton, apples to oranges, and casual drinkers to Raiders fans.

Well here's my school of thought with it:

“Terrible” almost always has a negative connotation to it. By definition, it’s a negative word.

But, while we’re rewriting history with this amazing defense, why not rewrite the dictionary as well?

It's a little bit small to be a wallpaper. It gets a little bit blurry having to stretch it that far.......

It is still awesome, though.

We had the Drive,

we had the fumble,

Now, we have The Defense.

Wherever you go, there you are.

The D

nothing else, just The D

The entire Defensive Unit. Every guy. Nickle, Dime, 5-2/3-4/4-3. More than eleven. I know it’s a take-off on The U but I think that is also pretty cool.

"D" doesn't stand for Denver anymore!

by bfree2bronc on Oct 7, 2009 12:44 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

one guy on a pedestal?!

I admire the effort, but I don’t think this nickname reflects the character of this unit. It doesn’t feel right to place one player in the fore. Doom would be the first to credit the front three for taking up space and great coverage in the secondary for his early season success. To me, this unit exemplifies “team”.

by mhrFan on Oct 7, 2009 2:03 PM MDT reply actions 3 recs

My first thought as well.

Doom is a cool nick, but the defense is 11++ guys working together, and they all know it this year. I kind of like Orange Slice, our of all Bman’s ideas, but it does sound a little wimpy. Maybe we could just call ‘em Orange Crush 2.0? Honors the past, but it’s a new generation! And frankly, Orange Crush is hard to beat.

As a fan of the old school "Superfriends" cartoon ...

My vote for a nickname for the defense would be:

The Legion of Doom

Don't get me wrong

I am as pumped as anyone about how fantastic our Defense is looking so far! But, were the Steeler’s named ‘The Steel Curtain’ after four weeks? Was the Orange Crush anointed so after only a quarter of a season? I think it’s too early. Right now, we’re the Denver Defense, nuff said. If by week ten we’re still giving up less than 10 points a game, THEN we’ve earned the right to brag and make names. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I feel like once we start popping our collars and grinning like pigs in s&!t, we’re asking for a smack in the mouth. Especially this early. After we sack Rivers three times and force a pick six off him we can start the parade. Before then, I’m content with no one knowing the name of our Defense(especially our opponents!). My two cents. :)
