--Some internet connection issues ended the 2nd Quarter thread a bit early, but by the look of the stats above it might be a good thing....The Broncos are in deep, deep trouble, and we are still awaiting word on Cutler's injury...
Lions Fifth Drive --
--Rich Gannon Sucks....BIG TIME!
--A lower left leg contusion is the official report, though we know how Shanny likes to avoid the truth about injuries...
--Kitna has 5 full seconds the throw the ball, yet the Broncos hold.
Broncos Fifth Drive --
--You know it had go out of bounds inside the 5...Nick Harris, one of the many Broncos draft picks from earlier this decade no longer with the team...
--Awesome stat there....37 times a drive has started inside the 10 since 2006...
--The Lions are pinning their ears back and just coming. The Broncos have no answer on offense.
Lions Sixth Possession --
--John Madden, the king of the run-on sentence, talking about Colts/Pats...
Broncos Sixth Drive --
--Nick Harris shoves it right in Shanny's face again...
--Since when is it unsportsmanlike to run into the coaching staff?? I would love to hit the Broncos coaching staff right now...
--Make it 38 times for drives starting inside the 10
--It gets worse for the Broncos...A sack, a fumble and a touchdown for the Lions...Now Matt Lepsis is down injured...
--Touchdown Lions -- Lions 23 - Broncos 0
Broncos Seventh Drive --
--Andre Hall runs back kicks the way you are supposed to.
--Ramsey hit again, then Marshall drops it. Marshall is one I will keep my eye on to see if he gives 100% effort...
--Then another drop by Marshall...or a fumble...
--No challenge....upon further review, bad play by Brandon Marshall...
--Broncos haven't been shut out in a long, long time...Something to keep our eyes on...
--Another drop, this one by Sapp...Ramsey has actually thrown the ball pretty well...
--Another drop by Brandon Marshall...I wasn't kidding when I questioned his effort...
--Marshall hangs on to this one and the Broncos have another first down...
--Henry with a big run down to the 5...So much for the shut out...
--Now henry is down, perhaps re-injuring his ribs...
--Actually it looks like they are testing his lower left leg as well....
--Henry will slowly walk to the sideline...and the Broncos will face a first and goal
--First and Goal -- Run to the left by Selvin Young - Gain of 1
--Second and Goal -- Pass by Ramsey is batted down...
--Third and Goal -- Pass by Ramsey is behind Marshall...
--Fourth and Goal -- Pass by Ramsey incomplete, and Marshall is slow to get up...The Broncos fail in the red-zone again....
Lions Seventh Drive --
--Kitna's first play is a 46-yard pass and catch to something called a McCugh...
--The Broncos have officially given up....2 plays, 95 yards and a touchdown for the Lions..We have officially become embarrassing...
--Touchdown Lions -- Lions 30 - Broncos 0
Broncos Eighth Drive --
--Marshall is back in the game and makes the catch. The shut-out watch is officially on...
--Henry is back in the game as well...
--Scheffler with the drop this time....Ugh...
--Hey hey....Daniel Graham holds on to one and the Broncos have another first down...
--Henry took the handoff, then jogs off the field, he definitely isn't right...
--Ramsey had Martinez but threw it short...Fourth down, again...
--The Broncos will go for it....but Ramsey doesn't watch the play-clock and 4th and 8 becomes 4th and 13...and the Broncos will punt...
Lions Eighth Drive --
--Lions continue to pile on the yardage...12-yard run by Kevin Jones...
--The longest third quarter ever still have over a minute left...
Unofficial count on the number of times Rich Gannon has said "Mike Martz" -- 137
Broncos Ninth Drive --
--A Selvin Young run mercifully ends the 3rd quarter...
--A good sign, Cutler is on the sideline, walking around....
End Of Third Quarter -- Lions 30 - Broncos 0

Det punted to our 5 yard line. Then what? Do we have the ball? Surely we didn't punt on 1st down. What's up?

Quotes from the upcoming aftergame interviews
Cutler, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Get of my F^&^ing leg! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Henry, "Wow Man! That game was gnarley! Who's got some chips? I've got the munchies"
Marshall, "hicup!"
Walker, "Someone take the damn keys from Marshall!"

I want Gold to say he is a struggling underachiever.
I want Williams to say he just isn't going to pick up this scheme.
And last but not least, I want Shanny to "F*ing, Goddamm, sonsab*tches!" Just once.
