Penn State scandal leaves NFL alumni in emotional disarray - Yahoo! Sports
As the details of the Penn State scandal have been made public, the outrage over the actions of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky has been universal. The feelings toward now ex-head coach Joe Paterno, who was fired by the school's administration in what will certainly be a clean sweep of the football program, appear to be far more conflicted, and that begins among the men who used to play football for him, and now do so in the NFL.

The reason of an educated guess can be leaned upon, yet there is no real science because too many unknown factors lurk in shadows set aside annually by the enemies of success.

First Weekly Madden Prediction - Mile High Report
I was a little bored this afternoon, so I thought I would fire up Madden and play the upcoming Broncos/Chiefs game. I ratcheted the difficulty up to the max and decided to see what would happen. This made me think about the yearly Madden Super Bowl prediction and I thought why not do that during the regular season with the Broncos' games?

Records are dropping under Tebow - Mile High Report
Tebow haters and Tebow lovers all agree that Tim needs to improve his passing game. It's obvious, so why does everyone keep repeating it? We're not blind. And yes, it was painful to watch. The good news is, he's showing improvement. He's standing in the pocket longer and keeping his eyes downfield instead of taking off and running.

Will you guys be using the "read option" again this week against KC?
Come on, Alex, please be good this year..
Follow @JesseReed78
Here's how I imagine it
“Tim Tebow fakes the handoff to McGahee, he rolls right. Tebow throws a bomb down the sideline to a WIDE OPEN Decker! TD Broncos!”
MOZGOD Member #35
He's a lefty, so wouldn't it be easier if they had him roll left?
Otherwise, he’s throwing across his body which usually leads to interceptions…
Come on, Alex, please be good this year..

That's the beauty of it
He’s strong enough to pull it off (Not Cutler arm strength) but pretty good
MOZGOD Member #35
he doesn't have Cutler
a-holeness either, so there is that…

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

Just a theory
but Tebow seems more likely to leave his feet when throwing while rolling left, which affects his accuracy. When rolling right, it seems like he’s forced to put more snap into the pass, plus he doesn’t leave his feet.

Very likely, though it may have just been used to try and beat Oakland's D
But I do expect us to use it more now, but maybe not as often as we did last week.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
You are probably right, but still, he's pretty good at that.
Come on, Alex, please be good this year..

Tebow is young, fast and strong. He can sustain some hits at this stage of his career.
The first play of the game where Tebow pulled the ball away from McGahee and took off running fooled the Raiders so badly that Tim wasn’t touched for 30 yards. Once the DEs started keying on Tebow, he gave the ball to McGahee and Willis ran untouched for 60 yards and later 24 more on both his TDs.
The Raiders were dumb founded. If they played one guy aggressively, the other one killed them.
A smarter defense will be just passive and wait until Tebow makes a decision. That of course will allow McGahee a running start at a passive D-line. Making a D hesitant is just as good as making them over aggressive.
We were pretty one dimension vs Oakland and still scored 38 points. Can’t wait to see what wrinkles we try this week.
Felt good to watch Oakland’s D-line own San Diego last night because we just owned that Oakland D line 5 days ago.
Tim Tebow's career record is 3-3. He is the worst 1st round pick EVER!!!! He is embarrassing!!! Did I say that with enough conviction to get a job with ESPN?
only if you give the Giants a beatdown :)

Seeing the Dolts lose a 4th straight to go 4-5 was awesome. They still have games vs @ Chicago and @ Detroit. And @ Oakland
They have home games vs the Ravens, Bills and Broncos. They’ll be lucky to finish with 8 wins. Did I mention most of their best players are on the wrong side of 30?
Seeing all the Raider fans at the San Diego stadium, I guess the Dolts don’t have many fans left… But I sure do love rubbing it in their faces that San Diego’s window to win the Super Bowl closed in 2008.
Tim Tebow's career record is 3-3. He is the worst 1st round pick EVER!!!! He is embarrassing!!! Did I say that with enough conviction to get a job with ESPN?
8-8 could win the division at this rate.
With a 2-14 schedule and a division full of struggling teams, Tebow and the Broncos have it as easy as it gets. I still wouldn’t bet on our playoff chances.

I’m completely unconcerned about Denver’s playoff hopes in 2011. We are far from a super bowl team.
I don’t even thing about playoffs. I just want to see much better than those Detroit and Green Bay fiascoes earlier this year.
I want to see marked improvement in 2011. That is my focus.

Let's hope so
as I’ve been waiting patiently for the NFL to return to L.A. Norv Turner and AJ Smith can stay in San Diego, though.

The NFLPA
Thinks action involves commissioning a study to see if action should be taken. It sounds a lot like my local government. As usual they fight player drug testing at all costs. It seems to me that the players who don’t use HGH (hopefully a majority) would want to make this issue go away.
"Ready are you? What know you of ready?"

I think the majority of them do want it to go away
London Fletcher and Dawk play hard every game and are men of integrity. One would reasonably think these two are not cheaters and are seeking to expedite the process considerably

Has the ESPN pundits lost their minds?!?
Choosing the Chief is a lost venture (watch me be wrong two week in a row) as our defense has the capability to shut Cassel and his offense down. I doubt very seriously that KC’s OLine is any stronger or better than Oaklands and with Bailey and Goodman covering theri best receivers what is cassel to do? Play tiddlywinks with Jones? I think not as the Broncos pretty much handled Michael Bush last week who in turn run all over the Chargers…Scratching your head yet? Ya, me too, but I see this game as a very good win for the broncos on the way to a winning streak. I love our chances against the Jets at home. Our defense matches what they bring.
I was dead wrong last week in picking the tRaiders to beat us. Why? Because I figured with an extra few days to get acqainted with his receivers, Carson Palmer would have his way with us. It didn’t happen and the Tebow Experiment worked brilliantly. I don’t see this train stopping anytime soon at any station…
heh..interesting
Tebow completes 47 % and it is abysmal, then SB Nation pronounces Rivers 48% last night as continuing a trend in mediocrity. What a difference 1% makes.
Remember guys…KC is dead last in sacks. I think with the slight hesitancy the zone read potential brings to the D and their innate lack of sack potential, Tebow may finally have a little better chance to show if he can make some throws.
Thursday night game
Do you guys think that is an advantage or disadvantage? KC has less time to practice against a unique offense, but Tebow has less time to prep. Although Tebow studying game film on opposing defenses might not be all that useful since he is likely to see something new.
Anyway, short week good or bad for the broncos?

KC has all week to prepare.

Yes,
I meant the Jets. Thursday game good or bad for the Broncos?

I just hope
the Broncos win this weekend convincingly. I just aquired tickets for the Jets game and if we go into that game with a short win streak it’s more likely the crowd will be into the game. Sometimes Thursday games can be less exhuberant because of the “school night” factor. So maybe the 12th man advantage is lessened some with a loss this weekend.

Happy Veterans Day

If I can't have high expectations that succeed, I''d rather have high expectations and be disappointed than have low expectations and be resigned to losing.
