Broncos @ Texans - Game Night Open Thread - 4th Quarter

     @      

Date: Thursday, December 13, 2007


Time: 6:30 p.m. MST


Teams: Denver Broncos (6-7, 2nd in AFC West) at Denver Broncos (6-7, 4th Place in AFC South)


Location: Reliant Stadium - Houston, TX

       

Texans Eighth Drive cont.....

--2nd and 9 upcoming. A three and out would be sweet right here, no doubt about it.
--Broncos are laying some wood now, but it won't mean much if the Broncos can't stop them on third down..
--Champ Bailey gets burned by Walter. That simply cannot happen. Bailey just has not had a good year this year at all...
--All year the defense has failed to come up big when needed and tonight is no exception. 12 yards for Dayne
--The Texans have answered every Broncos score, and are in position again.
--The Broncos are back into their old habits. Over pursuit allows Walker to cut it back and pick up huge yardage. First and goal Texans.
--Solid tackle by Bailey there. Need to hold the Texans to a field goal here...
--Way too easy. The Broncos have Karl Paymah...KARL PAYMAH on Andre Johnson....Poor execution on a pitiful design...TEXANS 24 - BRONCOS 14

Broncos Ninth Drive --

--In a way it is good that it will end this way....
--LOL...Now the Broncos are trying to run the ball. Perfect time...Oh, and Travis Henry is hurt....Again.
--Cutler, and the Broncos offense as a whole, as been a step slow tonight. 3rd sack for Mario Williams and the game, and season is over for the Denver Broncos...

Texans Ninth Drive --

--I think we see the difference between a 1st round pick and a 4th round pick. Mario Williams playing huge tonight...
--And the rout could be on....Ron Dayne for 25 yards.
--10 more for the Texans, this time it's Darius Walker.
--Painful to watch, but we all need to. We all need to see what this team really is right now..
--Champ Bailey gets beat again, this time by Andre Johnson. Jamie Winborn bought the play-action 100%. Totally fooled.
--One last goal line stand. Play with pride, boys...
--And with that....Touchdown Texans...TEXANS 31 - BRONCOS 13
--The better team is going to win tonight. A hard reality, indeed.

Broncos Tenth Drive --

--Broncos going hurry up. Why not? Nothing else has worked...
--Cutler has had some lazy throws tonight. Just not as crisp as they were on Sunday.

With that, I'll leave you..Much, much more to come on this so-called game tomorrow....

STAY STRONG BRONCOS FANS....BETTER DAYS ARE AHEAD!!!

Hopefully Marshall can get back into the passing game with a score.

and Dumervil?
It seems like Bailey is guessing a bit too much this year when trying to read the QB and leaving his man too early which I think is a sign that he doesn't really trust the rest of the D to get the job done.

It's the Backers more like it
He had big Al. Now, no big Al. Big difference.

So that was pretty much the same play
as the Scheffler TD but with motion.

WOW
We did something never done before...Scored a 1 pointer while the other team had the ball...

Poor execution on a pitiful design...TEXANS 24 - BRONCOS 14

They knew the Texans were going to run
to use up the clock but still couldn't stop the run. Baaah.

Henry injured.... again...
Baaaaah.

the injuries are just amazing
I don't think we have gone a single game where the starting 11 have made it intact to the end of the game (on either side of the ball)

Hmm...
good idea. No, I was joking with Bailey, but hmm, I think the whole coaching staff needs to be overhauled, but I'm just Broncodude793.

Mario Williams
keeps adding to his franchise-record sack total. Texans still make the wrong choice?

punched his ticket to Hawaii tonight
if there was any doubt before now.  So did Brandon Marshall I think.

Hey, Guru,
The season was over a month ago when we lost to the Bears.

Or.... any defense at all? This is on the verge of a rout.

about Bailey cheating because he didn't trust the
After watching the Texans pound it down the defense's throat, it is not surprising that Bailey was overly focused on the run :(

oops, subject got all screwy
meant to say "remember when I was saying that Champ was cheating because he didn't trust the rest of the D to do their job"

by MattR on Dec 13, 2007 9:01 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

I can't blame him
and that, clearly, isn't a good thing to realize about your D if your cornerback has to cheat toward the run and give up the long pass instead because the rest of the D is doing an impression of their namesake's posterior.

I've figured it out...
we are imbued with the spirit of Eli Manning. One week we look great, the next we look like the JV squad. And the latter happens more often than the former, just as with the younger Manning sibling.

Kubiak has out-Shanahan-ed Shanahan
just like the commercials suggested.  

It is pretty sad that Denver still can make the playoffs by winning their last two and having Oakland and Detroit beat San Diego.  But that doesn't matter because the Broncos are not gonna win their last two to get to 500

He needs to break a tackle
when he's scrambling out of the pocket.

Backing up 12 yards
Does not equal 'scramble.'

Maybe HT was right about the necessity
of having a good blocking TE like Graham.  I think all the sacks came after Graham left the game.

Sorry bout that...
had to delete my cussing posts.

I told you all we were not what it seemd. I got some strong resistence on that. I said, the Texans are better than us. I got the we're better even though we're in different diviisoins.

Will Kyle Shanahan be a head coach
when A-Rod breaks Bonds's home run record in 5 years?

Actually, Dude would "cut" the
mooring lines instead of "jumping' the ship :)

What's the plan
going into 2008?

We've got some young guys I like, but it seems like Shanny re-tools the hell out of the team every season without much difference in results.

Injuries are partly to blame, but do they need to commit to re-building totally or another re-tooling?

by joedudek on Dec 14, 2007 9:50 AM MST reply actions   0 recs

This is...
a complete rebuild that has been disguised as a retooling.  Sure, the Broncos thought they had the talent to at least compete in 2007, but with all the turnover the past two years the roster has been rebuilt.  Now we just need to see if all these young guys pan out.

by John Bena on Dec 14, 2007 12:41 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Let us never
forget what injuries ahve done to our starters this year.  Four games together at any point in the season could have made all the difference in the world...

And losing a center is the second worst thing that can happen to a team, especially one that relies on the intricacies of zone-block.
