Horse Tracks 12/1/09 - Broncos given extra day of rest, return to practice today in preparation for trip to KC

I’m pretty sure (like roughly 100% so) that the word Vonnie used was “complementary” and not “complimentary”. What makes the Broncos D play well is not telling each other, “Hey Elvis – nice play.”

Who is J-man and why does he go around on other team’s websites doing a Q&A on behalf of MHR. I saw him on the KC website just this week?

Let me quote his opening line: “j-man here i do this for mhr for every opponent blog i come over and talk q about den some blogs its works great ne wash nyg some it does not dal etc etc its a rivalry game records don’t matter”

His grammar, spelling mistakes and inattention to detail are embarrassing. Kaptain said he does this on his own, which would be his choice. But if any of you see him writing as if he is a voice piece for MHR, I hope you let him know he needs to disassociate himself from MHR (if, in fact, j-man is not associated with MHR).

If j-man was asked to provide this Q&A service on opponents websites on behalf of MHR? Wow… that was a bizarre choice.

I guess not everyone feels the attachment to Shanny I do…hahaha (no, I don’t wish he was still here; I’ll just always appreciate what he did for Denver and the Broncos).

Well, I’m glad I threw in that last option, as I hadn’t originally.

This season reminds me of 1998 when Denver ran away with the AFC while the Vikings and Falcons dominated the NFC. We all know how that season ended.

I will be shocked if the NFC championship is anyone other than the Vikings vs Saints. I see no way that a team like Dallas, Arizona or Green Bay could win an away game vs either team.

However, this Colt team is not nearly as dominant as the 1998 Broncos were. Indy could be defeated (at home) by several good teams in the AFC, including Denver.

why 158.3 QB rating is the best that can be achieved ?

Start with Brees, who completed 18 of 23 passes for 371 yards, five touchdowns for a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3 (don’t ask why, but that’s the best you can get in the rating formula).

that seems weird. you’d think incompletions would mean you can’t be perfect. Tony Romo math i guess ?

that the Mastermind® and Kyle Shanahan are bound for Chicago, possible with Alex Gibbs in tow, assuming Kubiak is axed. There has been some buzz about this in the Houston media.

Every time I think of that, and mix in the football player qualifier, I get a little clammy and queasy. Ouch. Double Ouch X a quatrillion-zillion.

You can read it here.

Here’s what happens in a Mile High stadium. You pound those big defensive lineman and you chop and cut them to the ground everytime you can. They have to get up and chase the play and by the 3rd-4th quarter, they are tired … and that’s a distinct advantage at a Mile High. Bootlegs help make them run around and scramble plays too. Make those big bodies run, like they’re not use to. "Advantage Broncos."

This is exactly what I had said in several posts and hope McD learns to implement those types of runs in the future. Especially at Mile High where altitude has a direct effect on people coming from the low lands

on Denver Post:
Elam gets boot as Broncos’ Prater is honored

I hope he lands somewhere else and gets his second (or 12th) wind, to get to that landmark.

There’s nothing quite like trying to run on aching legs when you can’t get enough oxygen. Our running game should be in high gear about then.
