Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Avenge me son. Avenge Me!

DENVER - OCTOBER 24:  Center Jared Veldheer #68 of the Oakland Raiders celebrates a touchdown by teammate Darren McFadden (not pictured) in the third quarter against the Denver Broncos at INVESCO Field at Mile High on October 24 2010 in Denver Colorado. The Raiders defeated the Broncos 59-14. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

59-14. Fifty-nine to fourteen.

This game was the beginning of the end of this team. Nothing stung the hearts of fans more than seeing gleeful Raiders prancing around Investco Field at Mile High. Out of all the failures of Josh McDaniels, real or imagined, this is the one that enraged fans the most.

After that defeat, I immediately felt the need to remind people of the plan, the long term goals that were being implemented and the fallacy of firing any head coach in midseason. I begged Pat Bowlen to stay the course, but it was not to be. Now the figurehead is gone, but the fans desire for vengeance remains.

To quote a favorite movie of mine, "Avenge me son. Avenge me!". The dawn is red for these Broncos, yet here in front of them lies a chance for redemption.

Star-divide

The only question that no one knows that answer to: does the desire for vengeance and redemption reside in the hearts of the men who don the orange and blue? The answer has to be yes. Pride in your profession, pride in your teammates, pride in yourself...prove to the world you are men, not whipping boys.

I am resigned to many things, including this lost season, but nothing can remove the hatred of all things Oakland Raiders. Perhaps it is because I currently live a scant ninety minutes from Oakland or perhaps it is because I've lived nearly my whole life deep in the Raider Nation. A difficult place for a young person to wear orange and blue with pride.

I certainly enjoyed the many years of domination over this franchise, so much so that I can no longer tolerate the thought of the Broncos being swept by them. I can barely tolerate reliving the debacle earlier this year. The Raiders played a role in ruining the Broncos hopes for a playoff berth in each of the last two seasons and now it is the Broncos who have a chance to return the favor.

Tim Tebow will get the start tomorrow and as John Bena wrote this morning, the Raiders will try to make Tebow beat them over the top. Tebow is the wild card, a rookie quarterback's first start is rarely pretty, which is why the rest of the team must come out thirsty for blood and vengeance. Be the redeemer and the fans will forget much of what has come before.

Beat the Raiders. This is your Super Bowl, Denver. Avenge us.

Go Broncos!

Haha. Yep. Love me some Red Dawn. What a weird movie. They are currently making another Red Dawn. This time, we are defending ourselves vs the Chinese.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you Neo-Cons aren’t good for something. Red Dawn is awesome and I give the Neo-Cons full credit for that 1980s movie gem.

The angry fans and Woody Paige didn't get McDaniels fired, a lack of improvement, 3-9, several losing streaks, Spygate II, empty seats, too many home losses, several bad blowouts, botched personnel decisions and the endless drama did the trick.

Tim What makes you think that Tebow will start? I want that so badly but....

everything I see leads me to believe that KO will start the pain killer will last just long enough for us to get so far behind that they let him finish and Tebow gets no chance. Nothing coming out of this coaching staff leads me to believe that if Borton can walk he will play. Please tell me why I am wrong?

I agree plainview

I expect to see him get a real taste of everything the Raiders can dish out. He has played in some rather hostile conditions at the college level. He’ll have to deal with weather as well. 80% chance of rain at game time plus 15 to 25 mph gusts. Good thing we can rush now. I don’t expect to see so much passing. I’m not privy to watching practices bu I know tat Denver is well aware of the weather factor. I expect a lot of rushing by Moreno and Tebow as well. A short passing game if possible. I don’t expect perfection. I’d be happy with a 1 point win in the final seconds.

Rookie struggles for QB usually constitute being faced with heavy pressure or complex coverages…

Tebow can negate some of that with his running ability… instead of forcing throws and taking sacks…

Im predicting we see lots of “mobile” Tebow.. rollouts, bootlegs, draws, scrambles.. and a buttload of Knowshon…

Knowshon, Tebow, Decker, Mays, Bannan, Big Vick et al.

You get the picture but I just think the majority of the players on this team are not quitters. And BTW, I didn’t mean to snap lol

question: how is WR a top need for the broncos?

Last I checked the broncos still have Lloyd, Decker, Thomas, and Royal. Also the broncos will get mattew willis back next year. If anything just a pass catching TE. biggest needs: CB and d-line.

With that said, it’s nice to see Tebow get his feet wet (literally ) and no matter how he does, he still is the QB next year for the broncos.

Actually, no
This game was the beginning of the end of this team. Nothing stung the hearts of fans more than seeing gleeful Raiders prancing around Investco Field at Mile High


I disagree. The begining of the end was the Titans game, which the Broncos won, but were so beat up they got blown out by the Ravens and it was all downhill from there. It was pointed out in one post prior to the Titans game that teams that play the Titans tend to lost their nexy game regardless if they won or lost to the Titans. That not only came true, it presaged the rest of the season. By the time the Broncos got to the Raiders game, they were already toast. It reminded me of Baltimore and Pittsburgh back to back last year. Aa far as the Broncos-Raiders rivalry, I remember the time when the Raiders routinely beat up the Broncos and stole their candy, then the Broncos went through a period of payback that was nice to see. I look forward to that Broncos dominance again. But I don’t want to see Tebow’s Time officially commence in Raiderland. It should be at home in front of Broncos fans.

by opinion8r on Dec 18, 2010 4:30 PM MST up reply actions  

I clicked on your letter to Bowlen

I was curious what you might have written. For the record I am glad that McD is gone. Obviously there is debate about his merits. But there is generally a consensus that the FO is glaring liability. So I was quite surprised to read these words in your letter:

It was you, Mr. Bowlen, who decided to hire a new Head Coach and General Manager who have huge potential and tremendous football IQ…These two men…have also made some brilliant moves...Brian Xanders has already made a positive mark on this football team through the draft and free agency.

Seriously? What postive mark has Xanders made?

by FanSinceTheDonHornEra on Dec 18, 2010 3:11 PM MST reply actions  

There are many...I'll start with the biggest ones:

The contracts and salary cap situation is 100% owned by Xanders. Do you recall how bad it was under Shanny? In just two years he has fixed that mess. Kirk posted something on the Contracts situation recently…it truly is amazing how good Xanders did in that area.

Another is the draft day moves. McD played a role in that too, but Xanders was right there so I have to give him some credit. The Broncos had the greatest draft day in my lifetime last year. Regardless of your opinion on the guys selected, the trades and moves were flawlessly executed.

Do I think Xanders will remain as the GM? Probably not, but to fire him would be completely self destructive. The guy is brilliant and you don’t just cast away brilliant minds over the slightest thing. They already got rid of one brilliant mind in McDaniels, do you really want to get rid of another?

The problem with the fans in general is that they are unable to objectively view Xanders and McDaniels separately, so if they hate McD they want to get rid of Xanders too. Wholesale destruction of a franchise’s front office is NEVER GOOD for the short term (2-3 years), so whatever your expectations are for next year and 2012…you better start readjusting them. My mind tells me McD would have succeeded eventually, but now we start over. The more Bowlen fires, the longer it will take to return to even mediocrity. Just my two cents.

Also expectations are low

It will take quite a while to turn this around after the last 2 seasons of destruction, I don’t care who the Broncos hire or draft. The Broncos are far worse off today than they were when Shannahan was fired (and it was time for him to hit the trail too.)

I responded earlier to your post (see “It’s all in the eye of the beholder” below, but messed up on my logistics.

by FanSinceTheDonHornEra on Dec 18, 2010 3:42 PM MST up reply actions  

Ok...here is the same challenge I give to each and every person who thinks we are worse off now than in 2008.

Print out the preseason roster of 2008 and the preseason roster of 2010….go through and circle which guys you’d like to have….only the guys you think are WORTH KEEPING.

Then tell me what number you got from each year. I did the same…I came out with twice as many guys in 2010, but maybe we just don’t see talent the same way.

The problem was, the number of guys I wanted to keep in 2010 was still embarrassingly low…so it’s not like I am saying our roster is great, just far superior to the 2008 roster. We’ll never know how it would have turned out, so it doesn’t matter. McD will go on elsewhere and become a great head coach in a couple of years. Mark it down.

I admire your certainty

that McD will succeed elsewhere. There is a chance that his shining moment will be his victory over the Pats in 2009 and that he will be remembered as the guy who set the Broncos back five years.
As for the other guys, it will be interesting to see if Xanders gets many job offers if he gets the ax. DItto for Ben McD. Im sure Josh will hook up somewhere but IN MY OPINION he hit the Peter Principle at Head Coach. He can succeed as a OC, as long as he has a top drawer HC and good talent.

Very well stated....

this entire draft for at least a year will all evolve around Tebow’s success because he was the most controversial pick, Ithink that 6-to 7of this years draft class will have long NFL careers
Tebow
Decker
Thomas( Iwould pulla shannon sharpe with him and move him to TE
Beadles
Walton
COX if innocent
Squid
but it was not the conventional route and we are 3-10 hence the criticism

It's all eye of the beholder

Sorry, but I just don’t agree. Managing the cap is table stakes for most GMs. If I am not mistaken, the Broncos have a lot of room under the cap, so one can view that as good. One can also view that as not leveraging the assets at hand. I simply don’t agree with you on the draft day moves. Trading picks for Tebow? Tebow may turn out to be the real deal, as so many hope, but he was almost certainly going to be available at a lower pick than what we gave up.
Keep up your posting. I read most of them and agree with them more than disagree. Just not about Xanders.

Lets see… The Cards, Pats, Bills, and Browns all had picks (plus a few other teams) before our next pick. I bet he would of been gone by our next pick.

OK you are correct5

the moves were flawlessly executed. There were no issues withe the technical aspects of the trade. My issue is with the value we gave up. We didnt have to give up so much to get Tebow, regardless of whether anyone thinks Tebow is who we needed. In my opinion.

2. All predictions of the future must be approved by Mike Clark or Zappa.

3. Feelings such as; despair, sadness, anger, frustration, pessimism, or any other negative feeling is forbidden while in La La Land.

4. The Broncos rule all.

5. Raiders, Chargers, and Chiefs have foul odor.

These rules, amendments, guidelines or whatever you want to call them are to be followed diligently at all times while visiting or residing in La La Land. Anyone found to be in violation of these rules shall be deported immediately to the Real World of misery and despair. Repeat offenders will be dealt with by Chuck Norris.

La La Land national motto: 13-3 Baby!

La La Land national mascot: Orange and Blue Kool Aid Man, Oh Yeaahhhh!

We may have to change our motto to GB2 if Tebow

becomes the kind of icon in the NFL that he already is in Florida.

It's because it is not his fault....his big arms are not good for holding a football shaped object.

Talent

Roberto Duran, possibly the best fighter of all time, quit when he started getting his butt kicked. But he came back. This teams struggles,in my humble opinion have more to do with lack of talent and too much age mostly on defense. They have lost confidence which equals quit. But hopefully they can rebound and just suck it up. I think this team has character so maybe they can beat the damn Raiders. Go Broncos

It's those old guys

that know how to raise their level of play & help out a rook QB that I am looking forward to. This is destined to be snobble-knocker. Hard hits and intensity not the lost boys of last week.
