Adversity Reveals Character, Broncos Will Bounce Back

Today, I begin by waxing philosophical, even though I'm not Aristotle. In order for diamonds and other precious gems to be created, pressure must come among the rocks. Those rocks that can't handle the pressure fragment and become worthless. However, after sufficient tempering, everything else becomes a precious stone.

 

That's how I feel about the Broncos. We are a rock, and while I'm disgusted with fans threatening to delete their accounts should we lose to the Dolts (for the record, we are NOT losing to the Dolts...), they're the little pebbles that crap out when the pressure gets a little too intense.

 

Of course the time has come to shine and we're about to bust out again and show the NFL how resplendent, potent and sharp we really are.  There's a reason teams such as the Dallas Cowboys always falter down the stretch. They get off to solid starts every year but falter down the stretch because Tony Romo is a fraud and Wade Phillips shows once again why he remains the only coach since the merger in Broncos history to have a losing campaign in Denver.

 

Now, the same could be said for us the past few seasons, but already, this is a team with more passion, integrity and excellence than last year's embarrassing rendition. Gone are diva queen extraordinaire Jay Cutler and his stupid decisions. Thank goodness for that!

 

In his stead is the humble, erstwhile and consummate team player Kyle Orton, who will shake off the ill effects of an ankle injury to torch stooges such as Antonio Cromartie and Quentin Jammer repeatedly. 

 

As for the Chargers, yes, they are on fire, but if we got to play the Chiefs and Raiders back to back, I"m sure we'd have sufficient energy to defeat a solid team like the Eagles in the third game. It bears mentioning that if it weren't for Philadelphia's ineptitude in the red zone, San Diego probably would have been deflated last week.

 

With our ability to run the ball again, expect the play action to be open and I would love to see Cromartie try to contain a motivated Marshall. As we learned in Week 2 last year, Cromartie can do nothing to stop Marshall. Eddie Royal, the newly-christened Charger killer needs to step up for us, and go ahead, Eric Weddle, be on Jim Rome's radio show Wednesday. This week,  not even Rome's  jungle karma will avail you against Tony Scheffler.

 

All good teams meet affliction in the course of a season, but the time has come for us to snap out of our funk. Too much is at stake to let the Chargers and their pseudo-fans get the last laugh.

 

Those of you who are fortuitous enough to go to the game Sunday, PLEASE do not sell your tickets to Dolts fans. This game is in Denver and our Broncos need undivided fan support. Let's get down to business and dismantle the Chargers. Norv Turner has been masquerading as an NFL coach for long enough. The charade's over, Norvbert and the emperor has no clothes.

 

Finally, in closing, I'm pleased to see that the majority of Broncos fans have remained loyal. Let's keep up the good work and prepare for what will still be a successful season. In all honesty, in the back of my mind this offseason, I thought 11-5 was possible. Let's make my vision a reality. GO BRONCOS!!!

Dolts (for the record, we are NOT losing to the Dolts…), they’re the little pebbles that crap out when the pressure gets a little too intense.

That made me laugh.

If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.

know your adversary the dolts and know his weapons.

For dolt is evil and cunning, and his weapons are few, but sleasy. There for, be wise as a Bronco, and harmless as a BDawk.
