Another 3 and out

Defense is jacked up.

by binford04 on Dec 9, 2007 4:32 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Anyone else...

...think we should pull our starters now? No sense in any injuries to our top guys.

It would also be nice to have try outs for next season right now. (I think BroncoDude would like this approach).

no

the drop in talent is too much in most positions.

We arent deep. But Hall might get to play

Orange County is hot. Really! Haven't you seen the weather report?

are we running up the score?

Is it bad? Do we care?

right, LOL!

I had already forgot about that guy.

Ooh

Almost a blocked punt there... but it goes for a touchback instead.

by Silverblood on Dec 9, 2007 4:37 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

This one wasn't deflected!

Or was it? If not: Were's the flag!?

bad protection

KC under

100 yard total!

Either they really are that bad

Or the D has them played perfectly.

by Silverblood on Dec 9, 2007 4:41 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

Nah

It's not running up the score unless we act like NE (throwing bombs and going for it on fourth down). We're still playing with class.

As to drop in talent; we don't need to pull all of our starters. Just three or four on either side of the ball is the norm.

KC isn't coming back. This is an excellent opportunity (at game speed) to give some back-ups valuable experience and to try out some back-ups to assess our offseason needs in depth.

Not a popular decision for fans, but a good move by a coach none the less.

Remember SD and DET

this game is out of control.

KC will be lucky to get out alive at this point.

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:43 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Steelers trailing

31-13, go for the fourth down conversion on the 1-yard line... and mess it up. Pats have the ball again with 13:27 to play in the last quarter.

I think the lesson here is, never guarantee a victory over a 12-0, Bill Belichick-skippered team.

by Silverblood on Dec 9, 2007 4:43 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Here that sucking sound?

That is the sound of a guarantee in the NFL...

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:45 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

And Winborn is seeing some time

Marshall rocks way to hard. 9 for 110 2 TD. YAC monster.

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:44 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

YAC

We are getting too high on it ;)

Orange County is hot. Really! Haven't you seen the weather report?

by amirebram on Dec 9, 2007 4:48 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

YACity YAC

yep. it is addicting. I will say that getting one dimensional like JAX (all big WRs) isn't in our best interest.

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:50 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

Remember

Broncos have a short week.

Playing the Texans Thursday.

by binford04 on Dec 9, 2007 4:45 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Silver

NEVER guarantee a victory period. I think it just revs up the opponent more than it psychs up your own team. You look stupid when it doesn't work, and it is kind of classless.

And yeah, against the Pats it just comes across as ignorant.

After Brady threw that 63-yard rocket

He apparently went over to Smith (the Steeler running his mouth off) and had words for him. So yeah, it just doesn't work.

by Silverblood on Dec 9, 2007 4:47 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

1 yard line

finally a good punt

Orange County is hot. Really! Haven't you seen the weather report?

by amirebram on Dec 9, 2007 4:46 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Taylor Jacobs

our 5th string WR toed the line there. Looked like he stepped on the line, but who cares. The official was right there.

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:47 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Nice STs move.

Punt downed on the one.

I used to love bringing blitzes here with the front seven and going for the safety. I kept the CBs in man and the SAFs deep just in case.

It punches the other team's morale right in the gut when you get a safety for two points.

Almost got a safety there.

Now they're on the "one-inch" line.

by Silverblood on Dec 9, 2007 4:50 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Oh, yeah, he made it to the one-inch line.

It seems like

The Broncos are taking the frustrations of this season out on the Chiefs. And damn it looks like it hurts.

Croyl looks like Cutler under that helmet.

block the punt! Cmon!

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 4:51 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Don't go for the block.

Play it safe. The game is over, so protect the returner and don't turn it over.

We almost flubbed that punt return.

Like I said, let's not get carried away. Now is the time to be careful and not push anything. The game is over.

We don't want injuries, and we should run down the clock and get out.

Any idea about how to find out...

...Cutler's pass rating during the game? He must be astronomical right now.

If so, awesome.

by styg50 on Dec 9, 2007 5:01 PM MST reply actions 0 recs

Mallard with the sack, Harris with the recovery.

Is gamecast getting that right? If so, that's a hell of a play by the back-ups!

Jets have a chance to beat CLE!

If they (NYJ) can score a TD in the last couple of minutes it improves our chances a bit. They have the ball. (I'm not holding much hope out, but we aren't eliminated this week since we will beat KC).
