Just a little reminder to all that the running game wasn't so hot in Shanny's latter years; so don't blame McD - the running game has been faltering for years now, especially in short yardage.

Thanks Doug.

I thought the article by Frank Schwab on our outside linebackers was very insightful.

BOOOOOOOO

How can we have “us against the world” if the world isn’t against us?

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

I must apologize for my assertion that DJ Williams may have been the culprit over pursuing on running plays.

Last week, the outside linebackers had to share some blame for the loss. The Raiders rushed for 241 yards, the most this season against the Broncos, mainly because they had seven big running plays. Five of those came on cutback runs, which the outside linebackers are asked to contain. For the most part, the outside linebackers have played well as the defense ranks third in the NFL in yards allowed.

Haggan had to learn the nuances of the position and noted that it takes more than brute force to set the edge. The linebacker must recognize plays while also staying aware of timing, figuring out when it’s OK to shed the blocker. Do that too early, and it could open up a hole to the outside

Sorry DJ and others for my remarks.

Dear Rockies-Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster season! Best turnaround in MLB history to become NL Wild Card Champs.

Kiz actually gets a few points from me today for this beauty...

…that Mr. Grumpy Face we came to know and love so well in Denver reveals why we should wonder if this adversity will lead to maturity, or just another trade demand down the road. And if you really think Cutler belongs in the same sentence with Manning and Elway, here’s the stat I really want to know: What’s the octane rating of your eggnog?

"All we're trying to do is win the *********** game!" -- Josh MF McDaniels tearing into his offensive line after three false starts in the red zone. The tirade turned the tide of the game, and the Broncos dominated from that point on.
