9/4/09 Horse Tracks - Broncos shut out Cards 19-0; No known injuries, plus 4 Turnovers for the D

and thanks NFLN for rebroadcasting the game just as I finished packing the kids lunches for tomorrow. I missed the first go around due to school meetings, but what a happy way to end the evening. Team looked really good, very few mistakes/penalties, and of course a positive turnover differential. I could tell the D had been practicing runbacks — none of them seemed astonished to end up with the ball or tentative about running with it at all. Say what you want about the Cards going 0-4 in the preseason — that team was in the last SB, people, and we just blanked them!!!

We’ll miss ya!

You are a dope for coming down to Florida right now. Don’t do it. It’s stifling, it’s humid and it has been raining ridiculously hard every other day.

It’s September, you should be headed to Colorado for a trip into the mountains. Indian Summer, deep blue skies, changing Aspen trees and very few crowds to contend with. Colorado is the greatest place on the planet in September. September in Florida is Hurricane season. BTW GO CANES!

Come back to Florida in late January when we’re enjoying our sixty third consecutive day of 70 degrees and a light sea breeze.

Hope you and the Mrs. have plenty o’ good times.

Leavin’ on a good note too – Great tracks (as always)

enjoy the get-a-way, what ever the weather…

Broncs do good for a change, but little news on it. I guess the reason is it’s just preseason, but that didn’t protect them from criticism either, hmmmm.

Have fun in Florida

Have a safe and fun trip. We will miss you

Enjoy your R&R.

as exhibition games go. (watched it late at night rerun on the NFLN.) The expected flatness later in the game and of course it’s exhibition and yadda yadda. But D looks better and better. Special teams coverage was better. OL play was better. Brandstater did a good job leading the offense for a good while, even if he reminded us at times he is a rookie. And those turnovers were a rare pleasure. A meaningless game but a good way to lead into the real ones.

I don’t think it’s that weird to think Brandstater’s spot might not have been secure; it’s not always a given teams carry 3 QB’s, though with Simms and Orton hurting it certainly makes more sense to do so!

Walker seemed to have solidified his spot over Jordan (unless they carry an extra back). Picking the backup safeties won’t be easy now either.

Glad they have ten days for the QBs to keep healing before the first game.

And happy travels, nyc!

makes me feel even stronger (I did at the time) that the chiefs erred in picking Tyson Jackson over him. I understand needs and all that and Jackson will probably be fine but Curry is something special. Take the best player on defense, Chiefs.

“while B.J. Raji had a big game (no, the Broncos could not have traded up for him).”

Nice, nyc. ;-)

Btw, just a pet peeve of mine but can we all try not to call the Dolphins the “fish”? The “phins” or “fins” sure. But not fish. Marlins are fish. Dolphins are mammals (and probably smarter than we are ;-) ) /pet peeve, off

Big Ben. Naturally people assumed if McDaniels drafted him than he was destined to be the next Tom Brady, but I see a lot more Roethlisberger in his game. He’s more mobile than advertised.

Though it’s obvious why QBs don’t usually wear #3. You want 6 points every drive, not 3 :P

You give the MHR faithful more, better and faster than any other source.

Thanks

Is it coming out in paperback? The hard bound would take up too much room no my desk…..Have a great vacation, my friend!

enjoy the vacation. You’ll be missed.

I just noted something. None of the major MSM outlets had any story about last night’s game.

Enjoy your deserved time off.. look forward to your return!

until well after you are back…

Enjoy your vacation!
