Well

I hope Dawk and Spence can go, but if not, everyone needs to step their game up. Let’s pull off the upset, I believe!

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!

We need Dawk.

His veteran presence, specifically being a playoff veteran, we will really need that on the field. Dawk, Champ, and D.J. Williams I believe are the only starters who have playoff experience.

I thought the same

But then again, it is only the middle of the week. If they sit out Saturday’s practice, then I’ll really be surprised.

A lot of our older veterans actually only practice a couple of days a week...

…as the norm. Its nothing like taking you guys lightly or anything. Tomlin does this all year.

Believe me, with all the injuries and OL configurations we’ve gone through this year, Tomlin and the vets are preaching the word not to take you guys for granted (Any Given Sunday is a cliche for a reason, after all).

Good luck to you on Sunday,and may both teams avoid injuries.

Likewise!

May the team that shows they deserve it the most, come away with the victory.

I'm sure most of it is precautionary.

They figure this game is their warm-up to their actual playoff run, so they think they can afford to keep some key players out of practice.

by Broncs4ever on Jan 4, 2012 3:52 PM MST reply actions  

Boy I hope this is true.

This is a classic trap game for them. Lets hope they treat this like the Saints treated Seattle last year. With the same results.

if they want to be arrogant a-holes

that’s fine, we’ll end their season! GO BRONCOS!!!

you’re assuming that holding hurt players out of practice is being arrogant? Interesting…yet..not surprising…

you missed what he was saying completely

one man referred that the team was doing this because Denver is a push over, and it’s more of a scrimmage than a playoff game, the other man is saying “well if that’s the case they are arrogant and arrogance usually lands a team in the losing column”

I’ve watched too many teams go in way to over confident. Many teams crumble. The Steelers tho have too many vets that have been here before, It will be interesting to see if they have that arrogance to them or not!

I assure you, that’s not the case. It has more to do with the fact that they’ve been around the block, and can get themselves ready. It has nothing to do with who they are playing.

Cortland Finnegan had the same type of attitude about the Texans last week…not the case…

I’ve never seen such a ridiculous conclusion drawn from a midweek injury report.

We could really use

That famous Brian Dawkins speech when he was an Eagle and they played the Giants…“Can You feel that thang that’s beatin’ in yo doggone chest right now?” I’m getting hyped just thinking about it…GO BRONCOS

I love that speech! We need him out there.

Sure wish Von's cast could come off this week.....

I have no doubt that Dawk will play if he can, but I don’t want them to risk it if it may end his career in the hospital.

W-L record doesn't matter to me.... I just want to see a team on the rise at the end of the year!
