I'm Getting Tired... Again!

PrintThis post is again, written with tongue ever so slightly placed in cheek!
Alright, we are two weeks into the season and I am already getting tired of a few things. Time for another Rant about what I am getting tired of.
1. I am tired of listening to "Haters" dog the broncos 2-0 start because our first two games were against Cincy and Cleavland. Are you kidding me? I bet you didn't say that the Vikings sucked because they started 2-0 against the Browns and the Lions? The Bronco's are 2-0... and your team probably isn't, so SHUT UP!
2. I am tired of reading about Jay Cutler as if he is the only player in the NFL. Headline today... "Cutler defeats Super Bowl Champs". (I just threw up) Did you guys watch that game? Maybe they should rename the team, the Chicago Jays? Did the Bears go Jay against Pitt all game long? Did Jay suddenly start playing Defense, as well as handling all the kicking duties? Funny... when the Bears would win a game when Kyle Orton was QB, it was because of the Defense. The truth no-one will tell you is that the only reason the Bears won was because Reed missed two fourth quarter field goals and that Jay Cutler started playing more like Kyle Orton.
3. I am tired of Denver Fan's Booing. Has the IQ of Denver fans really dropped that much over the past 2 seasons? Maybe the fans need to go to rehab for an addiction to stupid QB play and Redzone INT's. I don't know, but when your QB makes a smart play and then gets boo'd... I thought I was in Oakland for a moment. Hey Denver fans, save your Boo's for Halloween.
4. I am tired of people wanting to dump Prater after two missed kicks. Grow up. Why didn't you call for him to be replaced last week? oh... that's right... because he was 2 for 2... from 48 and 50+. OK, He missed two FG's that he should have made... but given 40 MPH gusts... there is at least some justifiable reason he missed them. If a player makes one mistake, should he then be replaced? Maybe we should dump Hillis for fumbling the kickoff. Better yet, let's replace Champ because Edwards caught that one pass. You simply make no sense.
5. I am tired of people saying that Brandon Marshall is dogging it. I know that BMarsh lost everyone's trust with the practice fiasco, but watch the film. BMarsh is doing some good things out there. Is he being targeted on every single play, like last year? No. But does that mean that he is dogging it? Please. I even read someone claim that he faked tripped on the deep pass from Orton. You need to sign up for NFL game rewind bro and watch that play. Marshall is under a microscope right now, and it's time we just start letting him play football, rather than question his effort on every single play. It's a waste of time.
6. I am tired of the MSM's inability to be wrong. We should be hearing and reading some analysts right now who are apologizing for their complete ignorance regarding Denver's Defense... especially the front 7. But, instead of saying, "Gee, I think I was wrong about the Bronco's this year!" here is what we get... "Man, the Bengals and the Browns are worse than we thought this year!" SICK OF IT!!!
7. I am tired of people thinking that because you think that the Broncos have a good team this year, that your a kool-aid drinker. Personally, I think it means that you are an informed and knowledgeable fan. If you think the Bronco's will go and 3-13 this year, then you and John Clayton have about the same IQ, as well as the good looks to match.
8. I am tired of the SD Chargers being anointed as the AFC West Champs... especially when they should be 0-2. I think those guys are having bad dreams about the Broncos this year... and from the looks of it, they might be looking at 8-8 again this year. See ya, Norv.
9. I am tired of hearing about Mark Sanchez and the Jets. woo hoo. It's really their Defense that is winning for them. But, the kid is looking pretty good and is not making many mistakes. But the endless media swooning is wearing me out.
10. I am tired of the Raiders... but am lovin me some JaMarcus Russel. Can't wait for his play this week. I am predicting 4 for 25 for 50 yds.with 3 INT's. I would get concerned though if he replaced Gallery on the O line. :)

Sound familiar to our team? The only difference is that Sanchez has done far more than Orton.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and then used against you.
Not quite right Improv....
The major difference is that Sanchez while doing essentially the same thing as Orton is being hailed by the MSM as the next great QB. Which I believe was the point.
"as in football so in life"
And doing it as a rookie as opposed to a fifth year player
I’d say he has some time to improve and a good base to start with. Sanchez has definitely exceeded what I thought he would do. The guy is cool under pressure.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and then used against you.
ummmmmm......
Orton is in his fourth year ;) and if you want to get technical (35 games total) a little into his 3rd season ;) Thrust into a new and extremely complex system with new team mates….I think it is a more fair comparison than you think ;)
"The question that sometimes drives me hazy, Am I or the others crazy?" -Albert Einstein
Let's see...
Rookie (all new system), rookie again (all new team mates), rookie again (any NFL system is complex compared to college), and ROOKIE – not expected to ever perform well. And Orton is in his 5th year (that one isn’t debatable)
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and then used against you.
Let's see...
5th year (all new system), 5th year again (all new team mates), 5th year again (Broncos system is much more complex than the Bears), and 5th year- not expected to preform well.
I’d say they’re not that different.

Although
Sanchez and Orton’s numbers are the about the same, Sanchez makes much more difficult throws than Orton does. Orton hasn’t lead a receiver on a deep route this season. I know the offenses are different, but Sanchez probably has the better arm.
I am not saying Orton hasn’t done a good enough job, I’m just pointing out the differences. I think what Orton has done is marvelous. It’s good to see a QB control the offense instead of trying to do everything himself. Orton knows he isn’t the biggest playmaker, and he does a great job at doing his role.
(Sanchez is also a rookie while Orton isn’t; however, both are coming into the season while learning a new playbook, and being on a new team. Props to both of them.)

Why don't you just set up a macro to post for you.
It can generate an “I hate Orton” comment, and save you the hassle of typing.
Since you’re already saving yourself the hassle of thinking and all…
LOL
Since you’re already saving yourself the hassle of thinking and all…
"as in football so in life"
I've got a better idea.
When Sanchez is 23-12 then we can all say, hey this kid kinda reminds me of…Orton. Until then Sanchez has done nothing to say he is better or worse than Orton. That’s juvenile thinking at it’s best.
Better yet...
I’ll let his play do it for me and use the time to set up a macro to come up with juvenile insults for people who don’t agree with me. OH! Never mind! That’s why MHR has you.

Might want to check stats before making a statement like:
The only difference is that Sanchez has done far more than Orton.
Sanchez 32/53 (60.4%) for 435 yards. 8.2 average. 217.5 yds/game. 2 TD 1 Int. 23 1st downs 43.4 1st Down %age Longest 45. 8 in the 20+ range, 2 in the 40+ range, 2 sacks, 91.3 Rating
Orton 36/65 (55.4%) for 506 yards. 7.8 average. 253 yds/game. 2 TD 0 Int. 20 1st downs 30.8% 1st Down %age. Longest 87 (if you want to disclaim that one, he had a 49 yard completion in the Cleveland game). 9 in the 20+ range, 2 in the 40+ range, 3 sacks, 90.9 Rating.
Sanchez has the edge in: Completion % (5%), Average (0.4), First Downs (3), FD %age (12.6%), Sacks (1), Rating (0.4)
Orton has the edge in: Yards (71), Yards/Game (35.5), Interceptions (1), Longest (42, or 4 if you want to use the 49 yarder), 20 yard completions (+1).
Strange, those stats seem awfully similar to me, and hard to justify the claim that Sanchez has done far more.

a lot of people wanted to dump prater last season, in the off season, during camp and now — most are not just saying it because of this game =)
A truth can only be expressed and enveloped in words if it is one-sided. Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity.

You should be happy that Denver is 2-0 and still flying under the radar.
Love the Broncos. Mike Nolan is a genius.

thats kinda true...except for a small mention of Dumervil not a single mention of the Broncos in Peter King's MMQB

The last thing this team needs is recognition.
They seem to be feeding off the lack of respect that they have been getting. Under the radar is fine with me too.

A win against oakland will not endear the broncos to the media.
We will have to win games against teams who aren’t AFC West, and who aren’t Cincy or Cleveland to get MSM respect. Which means no one takes us seriously unless we beat Dallas. A loss vs. oakland confirms Denver is an overrated fluke (according to the MSM) and a win vs. oakland proves the AFC west is so pathetic that even Denver can win it (but remember how they squandered a 3 game lead in 2008). These warm-up games have been hard fought. But of course, Cleveland and Cincy were horrible in the beginning of this 2009 season, and THEN will get hot, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Broncos MADE them lose.
What cynicism?

Man I just wanna say THANKS for voicing EVERYTHING I am tired off
3. I am tired of Denver Fan’s Booing. Has the IQ of Denver fans really dropped that much over the past 2 seasons? Maybe the fans need to go to rehab for an addiction to stupid QB play and Redzone INT’s. I don’t know, but when your QB makes a smart play and then gets boo’d… I thought I was in Oakland for a moment. Hey Denver fans, save your Boo’s for Halloween.

Maybe we should dump Hillis for fumbling the kickoff. Better yet, let’s replace Champ because Edwards caught that one pass. You simply make no sense.
These 2 are my main things that bother me…
We dont need to boo our team! Why even go to Invesco if you’re not interested in supporting the team.. if you’re losing 52-0 i can try to understand you when you boo (i support the positive attitude.. thats what teams and players need), …but we’re winning and we’re playing well! What the ****!
Oh and Rec’d!

RE: Sanchez
Wait until he has a multi-pick game and the Jets lose to a division rival. The Jets fans will turn on him faster than you can imagine. We’ll see how he ‘handles the pressure’ (as the national sports media is fond of saying about him now) when they turn.
media is media man.. you give the people what they want. They write things that they think everyone will read. “defense beats super bowl champs” isn’t going to bring any readers to your newspaper but if you write “new rookie QB beats potential comebacker of the year, record-holder for most TDs, and pretty boy of the year” or “QB from the biggest trade of the offseason leads team to victory” you’re gonna get more readers.
It’s a business man, thats how it works
still, good points :) rec’d

Speaking of SD
I’m definitely with you in thinking that SD is gonna struggle as bad as last season. Their age is REALLY showing right now. If that D is getting banged up right now in beautiful 80 degree weather in southern California, I’d be very curious to see how they’ll look by the time we get into late November. We could definitely sneak away with the division title if our defense continues to play at it’s current level and the offense continues to improve.
Also, with Tomlinson shelved, I think the Knowshon pick becomes doubly valuable to us. You know there was a blood curdling scream coming from AJ and Norv as Goodell read the Broncos card at #12. Just a beautiful c*** block from McXanders.
Go Broncos….

Great Thoughts HRUO....Rec'd +1
I agree almost to a point sir! You can argue semantics or the minutiae around point # this, or point # that if anyone enjoys it. I think HRUO is right on! And while fans DO have the right to express their opinions….at least they could learn to watch and understand the game. If you really like to “boo” go watch WWF…I hear Vince McMahon loves to entertain the more unsophisticated level of audience…might be a better format and a better spend of their money! Learn the game…then BOO! Or try something
refreshing….“CHEER” your team!
OMG, an actual WWF wresting reference….Im done!

I’m with you on just about everything except the last one. That is one of those “careful what you wish for” deals. The raiders look a whole lot better than what I expected. They have a nice running game and seem to be coached rather well by Cable and Co. As far as Jamarcus, he is bound to put up much better numbers at some point. That kind of incompetence can not keep up. I just hope he doesn’t right the ship against us. That would make for a long day.
All you get from drafting the "best player available" is a team full of good football players.

That is the same thing that worries me,
McFadden is running hard to the outside, and Jabba looks really good when he doesn’t look terrible (I know, I know), when he is on target his play is definitely intimidating. Although the simplicity of their D should play into our hands on offense.

Did you guys hear?
CBS renamed the Geico play of the day. It is now the Geico Mark Sanchez play of the day.
People can use statistics to prove anything, 87% of all people know that.
In Sanchez's Defense...
I live in New Jersey. The NYJ are the NY Mets for football. A franchise that forever holds on to that Namath guarantee as if it were just last year’s SB run. This is a team that has never gotten it right. Ken O’Brien was a solid QB. Ran him off as if he were some beggar outside Lincoln Tunnel entrance. Al Toon, Wayne Chrebet, concussions. This team hasn’t been relevant in so long. Take the way the Jets handled a true baller in Pennington. I don’t care what people say about his arm strength, you go through TWO career threatening surgeries and return to compete for a team (at the time had poor OL talent and a sadder state of RB talent) that simply wasn’t cutting it.
Now comes this hot shot rookie. 16 games of total college experience. You know the names of failed success when it comes to USC’s best offensive talents. Bush (no longer the focal point and former Bronco Mike Bell making the most of his 2nd chance). Steve Smith of NYG (turning out to be a good possession WR). Mike Linehart (MMA to improve the perception of his toughness). Mike Williams WR turned out to be a horrible pick by the Lions. LenDale White (serviceable RB for the Titans).
For Sanchez to come into this metropolitan Rome if you will, and perform the way he has in two weeks speaks highly of the new coaching staff but more importantly how he’s approached his first year in the NFL. I won’t compare the experience to Flacco or Ryan because those were two teams enduring different circumstances (Ravens and that solid organization? Come on) and (Falcons were looking to remove everything that was Vick and Petrino and just get back to competitive football) the Jets will be better now that Farve is gone.
So you maybe sick and tired of hearing about Sanchez but its not w/o merit. For the record, I cannot stand the Jets but I understand how important he is to a franchise that isn’t run as poorly as the Raiders but had its share.
Say hello to my fast...
