Winning the (AFC) West the old fashoned way.....Earn It!

3 months ago: San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers (17) acknowledges teammates after a third-quarter touchdown against the New York Giants during an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009, in East Rutherford, N.J. The Chargers won 21-20. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)

A huge shout-out to Tom Coughlin.  Hopefully some of you recorded the Giants-Chargers game.  If so, keep, duplicate it and sell it under the title, "How to Lose a Football Game When Playing Not To....".  It's one of my biggest pet peeves in all of sports, when a coach seems to have his team playing "not to lose".  Invariably, by playing "not to lose" you are destined to, in fact, lose, as the Giants did today.

It was a hard-fought, close, football game throughout.  The Giants had taken over the game, however, in the 4th quarter and had the Chargers on the ropes.  After intercepting a Philip Rivers pass late in game, the Giants had the ball - First and Goal at the Chargers 4, leading 17-14..  The next 3 plays would tell the tale.  Run, Run, Run with a holding penalty mixed in.  Kick the field goal and the Giants lead by 6 with just over two minutes to go.  We've seen this act before - give the Chargers an inch of life and they'll take a mile.

Rivers' game-winning TD pass with 21 seconds to go gave the Chargers a 21-20 win.  Coughlin's game management was filled with decisions that stank of fear, from the way the team called those final plays to a couple of 4th-and-1 situations at midfield earlier in the game that the Giants decided it better to punt.  For a team playing at home, that has already lost 3 games in a row, showing so little confidence in what used to be a dominant running game was quite troubling, and I'm not even a Giants fan!

Star-divide

All that said, I tip my cap to the Chargers.  We talked before the Broncos played San Diego that to be the champ you have to beat the champ.  The Broncos did just that, on the road, that Monday Night.  Now, with another Champ coming to town tomorrow night, the Broncos once again see the Chargers firmly in their rearview mirror.  Win tomorrow and the Broncos maintain their 2-game lead(with a game in hand).  Lose, and the murmurs of "remember 2008" will start in and around the Rocky Mountain Region.

For my money, I say "BRING IT ON".  I said the same last year when we watched the Chargers come back against the Chiefs, in Kansas City, with two late scores - and an on-side kick recovery - to keep their season alive.  Obviously this is happening a lot sooner this year, but I want the fire kept to the proverbial backsides of the Denver Broncos coaches and players.  I don't want to back in to anything.  I want the AFC West to be competitive, and I want the Broncos to WIN their way to a AFC West Division Championship!

There is a long way to go this season, and the Broncos and Chargers meet in Denver in 3 weeks.  A lot can happen before then to determine how the West can be won, but for the Broncos it doesn't get any better than being right where they are.  Sure, the Steelers are going to be a tough foe - and the Chargers are not going to go down without a fight.  For this Broncos fan, I wouldn't have it any other way!

I can't believe that the Giants actually lost that game. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

I hear you. But it sure helped that the Chargers got to fatten up on the Chiefs and the Raiders (whom they played terribly against) in the two weeks after the Broncos pasted them. Our guys have to earn it, there is no doubt. But anybody who looked at the schedules should have seen something to this effect coming.

by Chibronx on Nov 8, 2009 6:21 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

Agreed....

That’s why I waited until now to write this….

The Broncos will have their shot to ‘get fat’ – 3 games remaining against Raiders and Chiefs. Next weeks trip to Washington and of course, the rematch with SD. Just win those and the Broncos are home free….

How glad am I that we have Josh McDaniels!

I had to go and post over at the Big Blue. My heart goes out to their fans…..it sucks to have an old stick in the mud HC like Coughlin piss away the game.
Being up by 3 or 6 mattered not……it was still a touchdown.
And what a great pat on the back for Eli…….sorry kid, I dont trust you to win the game.
PATHETIC all ways round.
How do these guys have jobs as professional coaches? It was a decision that never had any value.
AND TOM COUGHLIN….YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO YOUR TEAM FOR YOU AND YOUR COACHES COSTING YOUR TEAM A WIN.
I dont even like the Giants and has me fired up more than I have been all season.
Rivers is the best 2 minute drill QB in the NFL…why is it some stupid ass Australian surfer like me know this and these morons on million dollar salaries dont??
This is feeling eerily familiar….our boys need to come out and put a stop to this rot RIGHT now….because the Chargers are looking better and they are getting lucky again!

You ain’t no stupid ass surfer, and you’re spot on calling out this liver lillied coach to apologize to his team, and their fans. What a perfect example of meek, hand wringing, no backbone coaching. But I agree with JB too, I don’t want any backing in, I don’t mind keeping the ‘fire in the our belly we gotta win’ attitude. Tomorrow is a another great opportunity, Go Broncos!

Not to mention the message Coughlin sent to his D by not going for it on 4th and 1

While we’re on the subject of not trusting your players to win the game, why not go for it on 4th and 1 around midfield? Their D had been keeping SD in more or less in check up to that point, and a first down would’ve been a huge advantage. Sure it’s risk and if it backfires he’d be taking even more criticism, but given the circumstances and the stakes, the odds would’ve been in his favor – sometimes you’ve just got to roll the dice. Instead he goes conservative and instill’s a conservative mindset in his team.

good point

besides, if we had made the playoffs last year, i doubt we would’ve won a game. This year, if, i mean when, we get to the playoffs, i will be because we beat good teams, not because we avoided losing :D. we’ll go far in the playoffs this year.

You are the boss and this is why. Absolute effing way to set the tone… No more cringing and hoping. The Broncos control their own destiny and we ought not let up on them. We have one more loss allowable all season as of tonight, if the bolts go undefeated, we still take the division and EARN it.

I heard he would, but it would be limited.

The broncos didn’t bring him in to play every down, from what I understand. He would be in on nickel packages and stuff, so he won’t be an every down player. In the interview he had on DB, he said they were trying to get him ready for the MNF game. So, we’ll see.

What is up with the NFC East?

In Week 2, it looked like the Giants were going to steamroll the division and the Eagles were fading along with McNabb’s injuries. Now it appears that the Eagles could take the East, even though as I type this they are down to the Cowboys 7-3.

I like the feeling I have this year alot better.

Feels like we have a ligit shot to compete instead of hoping and praying that we can squeak into the playoffs. Had any of us been asked, we would have been happy with a wildcard spot this year. Now we have a great chance to win the division, not by luck but because we are a team that can compete. I like it ALOT!!! GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I know that feeling you are talking about.

Last season, I was on pins and needles during every snap. This season, I am not completely comfortable, but I find myself enjoying the game a lot more. The cold sweats and sweaty palms haven’t occurred this season, so far. I like this feeling.

I would agree with you ...

except I have a REAL problem with these Chargers, especially Rivers and Mr. Lights Out. This team is plagued with some of the most obnoxious morons who haven’t accomplished anything, yet they still strut with the moxie of a team that has won the super bowl three out of four years.

I loved the late 90s when it was us and the Chiefs. I respect the Chiefs and love it when it comes down to us and them. But I have such a problem with these Chargers that I don’t want them to win anything. Ever. Being competitive and all the points you make are great, but not if it is against these narcissistic clowns.

by vincerelli on Nov 8, 2009 8:59 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

Vince, agreed. It's because this team is made up of whiners, pure and simple.

Couple of examples. Remember when LT cried about the Patriots doing the lights out dance when they beat the Chargers in the playoffs? He literally almost cried as if somehow Merriman has trademarked the dance or something. And it was like he was saying it’s okay if my guy dances like an idiot, but no one else can. Why, LT? Um, because I’m mad. Waaaaaa.

The 2nd example is this year when Rivers was talking crap before the Broncos/Chargers game. Then after the Broncos smacked him in the mouth over and over, he said he didn’t like the Broncos talking trash to him after the game. Waaaaaaa

You are right. The Chiefs were tough. They were bad. They brought it every time. Marty is the reason. This Charger team, thank god we are going to dominate them over the next 10 years.

Better them ...

than the Chargers or Raiders. Broncos and Chiefs are classy organizations with classy, loyal fans. Obviously screw the Chiefs, but a good rivalry is based in competition and respect, and I have nothing but disdain for the Chargers and Raiders. I want them to lose and lose often and lose BADLY!

But I do agree 100 percent that we need someone to push us and help us keep our edge. And I think going into the game against the Chargers here tied or only up one game could be a good thing. However, I doubt with McD around that we won’t be pumped to play, and I’d rather beat Pitts and Washington, have the Dolts lose and have the Chargers close enough to boost the stakes and force us to play our best.

Ahh nostalgia

the great promoter. The Shotty-led chiefs weren’t “classy,” like vincerelli put it. In fact, nothing about Marty is classy at all. He probably taught the current dolts their Bronco-hatred. He’s the one who told players to go out and hurt John. No Bronco fan should ever forgive or ever forget that. These current guys are a lot worse than the late-90s Chiefs, but don’t go about giving those old guys too much respect. That’s like trying to speak well of Madden and the ‘60-’70s Raiders. Speaking of which, there’s a really cool NFL Films clip in the fanshots that goes over that rivalry. It’s awesome. But really, there are three real rivalries in the West: us-oak, us-kc, kc-oak.

Well....

In using the term “classy,” I didn’t mean there wasn’t an intensity. I can see how I may have overstated the use of the term, but given you note that the Chargers “are a lot worse” I think you get what I was getting at.

And you mention the “real rivalries,” and I think that is why the Chargers are such chatty brats: they want to have a rivalry so bad and pretend they’ve ever mattered and over compensate by being what they are.

Finally, in terms of this “class” warfare there is absolutely NO parallel to the lack of class with those older Raider teams and any team EVER. 90s Chiefs or otherwise.

The game last week tested our character and it will define who we really are.

The distinguishing quality of a team is how they rebound from defeat and grow stronger than they were before. We won’t know the exact character of this team until they prove it on the field. The Ravens acted as if they were in our playbook, beat us to a pulp like precisioned instruments, but today they got a lashing harder and more severe from the Bengals than they handed us. Our teams metal was tested and there is no doubt in my mind that they will play ever bit as hard this week as they have from day one. There is something that this team has that was missing for a long time. That’s heart. The drive to succeed when the tables are turned.

I have no fear of where we are headed and why we are headed that way, I see things other people have a hard time seeing and that’s a team that has both metal and character and will not give up no matter what the outcome is. Man, I love this team and I love the heart Pat Bowlen has for making the decisions he has made. That’s courage and that too is what this team has, kind of like the courage of the little boy taking on the giant in the field of battle.

Worry? Not me, I’m not made of that thin skin. All I want to see is a team not afraid of facing adversity, not afraid of taking one on the chin and getting back to it’s feet to continue punching and the foe is a bloody mess. That’s what I like, nothing else. Now, go out there tomorrow night and bring the game ball back to the locker room like we know you are capable of doing.

In case anyone cares

former Broncos Mark Schlereth and Tony Dungy both picked the Steelers tomorrow night. Schelreth basically said the Broncos are legit and good but the Steelers are great and it might be a repeat of last Sunday’s game for Denver. Jerk. Broncos will have to prove him wrong.

TJ is much better and he is the one who bleeds orange and blue. I mean when the Broncos weren’t playing well the last few seasons, he never bashed them at all, he was just honest in a classy way. I am bummed that Boomer and TJ’s NFL Primetime show isn’t on anymore. Just those two guys doing highlights is fine with me.

I’m just saying that compared with TJ he’s probably going to be less of a homer. Even though Sharpe won one outside Denver too we drafted him and gave him a chance to be the HoF player he became so he probably feels a little more attachment to the city than Stink. Add to that that Stink isn’t in the HoF probably because he played in Denver and…

^Needs further explaining: I have yet to post anything on WCG, don't worry, I'm not trying to rationalize anything I've done. I've just lurked over there and man, they are the model of post-peloponnesian war Athens.

Amen BF2B....

I want to see McD add a new wrinkle or two, like when he pulled out the ‘Wild Horse’ against the old boss. We’ve all had this inkling that he’s had a few tricks up his sleeve ever since the season started. I suspect we’ll see something new and notable this week.
But it’s going to come down to the pride and character and toughness of our football team. Pittsburgh will give us their best shot. They’ve had time to prepare and now have the added incentive ofneed ing to keep pace with a hot Bengals team. We’ll need to show the heart of a champion to beat a champion.

I noticed that Shefter and Peter King picked the Broncs...

Most everyone else has the Steelers. Love those doubters…. bring em on, I say….

Last MNF against SD

TJ and Ditka (think it was him) were the only ones picking Denver. I actually prefer when those alleged “experts” go against us. Love proving people wrong.

I like Schlereth,I really do

But sometimes I see stink as an Idaho Vandal(whom as a Boise State Broncos fan I was bred to hate) and a Washington Redskin(See Super Bowl 22 and the gazillion points they scored in the 2nd Quarter).Yes I know Schlereth wasnt on tht Super Bowl 22 team but he did play for the rtivals.

I think the only time that he loved being a Bronco was his time spent playing in Denver.For the Broncos perspective in the MSM we can always rely on TJ and to a lesser extent Sharpe

Did you really have to put that picture of Rivers?

The look of him smiling makes every part of me cringe.. I hate the Chargers… Phillip especially..

That's not a smile. That is "grit".

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

No, it's a smile.

One of the worst calls I've ever seen

It seems to me that Coughlin forgot the game situation. He played it like the game was tied, or the Giants had a 4-point lead. When you already have a 3-point lead, why go conservative inside the 10? You’ve got a chance to end the game! Instead, you’d rather just run a minute or so off the clock and cost the Dolts a timeout?

If you trust your defense, which I would think is the justification, then shouldn’t you be happy with a 3-point lead? GO FOR IT!!!!!

I think we are about to realize we made a mistake tonight.
