The last two weeks we've been extremely lucky. Our defense can't seem to stop anyone on 3rd down or defend against the pass.

The upcoming game against KC has all the makings of a trap game.

I know KC can't pass, but with the way we can't stop anyone from doing so, we'll make KC's QB look like an All-Pro.

Yea, i know we are bad but K.C is REALLY bad. They will score some points but nowhere near the level of SD or NO in my opinion. We should route them pretty much like we did last year.

Most comments are dismissing KC outright. Make no mistake, they are a terrible team and we should destroy them. For some reason, I just have this gut feeling that Denver will lose this game.

Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Keep in mind that our defense held Oakland scoreless until the 4th Q, but we have struggled against 2 very good offenses. Our defense definitely needs some work, but are we as bad as many think we are? We should find out in the next couple of weeks as we go up against some mediocre offenses.

If we can play like we did today and beat NO, we WILL beat KC. No way we lose this next game.

I don't think our defense is as bad as it seems. We have done a horrible job game planning the teams we play. Our defense outside of our ends have talent. THey are simply not put in the situation to make a play. Our DT, I thought had a good game. Williams and Boss had good games overall.

Our defense played a very soft zone, and that is the worst thing you could do with a good QB. Oh yeah, playing a top offense doesn't hurt either...

Hopefully next week, we can can all the zone and get in the face of WR's. Lets just hope the D-cord will get his act together.

If Cutler plays as "meh" as today.
If we turn the ball over more than once.
If our D plays as poorly as it has.

We still will not lose. The Chiefs are AWFUL.

WTH does "meh" mean? I see it all the time and have no clue.

I don't see this as much of a trap game. Something like the TB game is more of a trap, where we should be a favorite, but they have enough to make it a real test.

Could we lose in KC? Sure. Is it likely? No. This is a team that knows they have gotten lucky and are going to be playing hard to make sure future games don't come down to luck. Plus, KC is pretty bad.

The Chiefs will definitely play better than they have to this point when we meet Sunday morning. However, this is a division game and Cutler is undefeated against the Chiefs. Also we match up well with the Chiefs. The only way people have hung with us is when they could put points up. The Chiefs don't have that luxury. They don't have a QB that can beat us like Brees or Rivers. I expect it will be closer than people think but eventually the Chorfs will fold.

How can it be a trap game? In order for it to be a trap game, our team should come into it overconfident and unprepared.

How can we be anywhere close to overconfident and unprepared knowing our last 2 wins were by the skin of our teeth?

No trap game; we're gonna go in there and maul them. :fight:

I think your wrong.. They seem to let up when more than 18 points up in a game and allow the other team to get their confidence..

It may be a blow out but I'll bet we do not have the intensity next week we did today.

I don't think they really let up after 18 points up; the other teams adjust and find our weakness and get back in the game. The only team that hasn't been able to do that was Oakland, but they themselves have admitted to being terrible with their passing offense, so they couldn't capitalize.

No trap game in KC. Shanny will pull all the stops on offense, and our defense will get to practice a whole lot of blitzing.

It baffles me to see these big leads slowly disappear, whether it be adjustments by the other team or Denver playing less intense and conservative. This will be a divisional game and I see it being closer than what people expect. Until Denver shores up it's defense and quits playing conservative after big leads (which is no surprise), Denver wins maybe by 4-7 points! Denver seems to let bad teams look good!

I wouldn't be so confident. We are going to Arrowhead and this is a divisional game, always tough. To me this will be a true test of our defense. We already know how our defense plays against good offenses, we stink it up. How will we play against a bad offense? If we make that offense look good it will be a long season for us regardless of how good our offense is. Win or lose this will be a telling game for us.

It will be a very close game I would like to say they coming of to big emotional games and that they could be looking past KC to the next big game but it is TPA.. If it was NE or one of the other AFCW games maybe..

But KC could surprise us at KC I doubt it but with our defense nothing surprises me anymore..

Now as happy as I am with Eddie Royale perhaps we should have taken another DL guy still available were.
Trevor Laws
Calais Campbell
Kendal Langford
Chris Ellis
Pat Sims
Bruce Davis
Marcus Harrison.

look not saying they would have been better but I know for sure this DL is the issue on this team. Fix that and perhaps all those behind them get better than they are..


Rushing 3 for most of the game was beyond stupid and that just exacerbated the rest of the stupid stuff that happened..

BTW I like Royale he is much better than everyone But Top thought..

Unless the offense comes out flat for 4 quarters, I don't see this being a trap game. To beat the 2008 Denver Broncos you are going to have to outscore them, and no one has been able to do that thus far - plain and simple.

I know the defense has been poor, no excuses, but we've played two teams with very good QB's and very good weapons - and we've still prospered. If you look at the remaining games on our schedule, there aren't too many prolific offenses we have to face. Some good rushing attacks, but I'm pretty confident we'll stick with stopping the run first, even if it is painful to watch the passing attack. I think it comes down to QB's (in the regular season) Cutler vs. opposing QB. Here are the remaining games and starting QB's.

Week 4: Cutler vs. Thigpen
Week 5: Cutler vs. Griese
Week 6: Cutler vs. Garrard
Week 7: Cutler vs. Cassell
Week 9: Cutler vs. Pennington
Week 10: Cutler vs. Anderson
Week 11: Cutler vs. Ryan
Week 12: Cutler vs. Russell
Week 13: Cutler vs. Favre
Week 14: Cutler vs. Thigpen
Week 15: Cutler vs. Jake D.
Week 16: Cutler vs. Edwards
Week 17: Cutler vs. Rivers

I'll take Cutler in any of those match-ups. We need to keep scoring, and keep working on defense. Now, I know the QB doesn't win them all for you, but we have a nice supporting cast around Cutler on all phases of the offense. Don't give up hope yet! GO BRONCOS, 3-0!

We will be 4-0!

We are going to woop on KC and believe me there is no such thing as a looked over team while Shanny is coach. Specialy a divsion team.

MileHighWrath
09-22-2008, 02:49 PM
Trap? Denver's first 15 scripted plays might just yield 20+ points against the chefs (anything over 14 and the game is over). The fade amassed 355 yrds offense and held the chefs to 164 total offense in mullethead. If ever the Denver D needed a pick-me-up game it couldn't get any better then to face an O that doesn't have a legitimate 3rd string QB on it's roster. Look for a shut out.

most of the time I agree with you but there have been many games that our guys were not prepared for.. and we had our heads handed to us..

MIA a few years ago there was a BUF game, JAX game..

JAX in the playoffs in 96 when they were an expansion team.

The PIT playoffs in 2003

That is all I can think about at the moment but there are many more..

That was a bad game. There are two reasons for that, though. One is Jake Plummer is the worst QB in season openers maybe ever. Almost all of his season opening games he's good for at least three interceptions. The other thing is the heat and the Dolphins have had our number over the years, especially in Miami.


there was a BUF game
What game is this? We've owned the Bills especially lately.

JAX game..
What game is this? Its not the '96 game since you mention that one below. Are you talking about the one where Griffin fumbled the ball in field goal range? That was hardly a trap game. We knew that was going to be a tough one.

JAX in the playoffs in 96 when they were an expansion team.
Yeah that one still stings.

Again you've totally lost me. We never played Pittsburgh (ever) in 2002, '03 or '04.

What instances this season, however, have there been any signs of immaturity with our young players? Since the season's started, all of them have acted with great professionalism and disciplined hard work, and it shows, specially on offense.

Though it is against the norm, any assumptions about supposed difficulties in transitioning to the NFL by our new LT and WR have been shattered.

Nick
09-23-2008, 01:00 PM
Off of previous post JR, Broncos suck playing in Florida in humidity in the beggining of the season and if I remember correctly people were leaving field consistantly because of heat. That was a horrible game. At one point we even had a linebacker covering a WR because we had a bunch of corners having to leave (Inlcuding Bailey).

Jacksonville always played us tough... I hate thinking back on that playoff game...

Also it is always tough playing at KC and LJ has his best games against us. We should be able to dop fine against the run and their QB is no Brees or Rivers.

I agree with the age of our team. Our offensive starters are in their 3rd year or less. I feel the opposite and see it getting better with more and more team chemistry.

mac it is just a matter of time when the team as a whole runs into the inconsistency stuff we always see in rookies or second year players..

For that matter this team with a few exceptions is very young.. look at the roster.
http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=396

27 of the players on this roster are 4 years or less..
17 rookies or second year guys
9 more with less than 6 years..

7 player with 10+years.. hell KC old OLINE two years ago had that many and most were over 13 years at the time..


We are going to have great games and then IMO the rookie OT's are probably going to hit the rookie wall in about week 11-12 . Yes the kids have played well so far and myths have been shattered by royale an clady SO FAR.. but I think you have to agree this is exception rather than rule..


Wait till 2009 and beyond.. if mikey can keep this team together for the next 8-10 years it could be really special with a couple of key additions at DT, DE S and MLB.

I do agree they are young and there are good chances that they might be inconsistent. I also believe that most rookies will hit the rookie wall. :beer:

After last season, though, I don't think either of us could've predicted that the Broncos would score 39 points against the Chargers. I've decided then, for this season, not to underestimate the Broncos; maybe overestimate them, instead. :D

In theory you have a leg to stand on, but I just don't see it happening. Of course any team can lose to any other team on any given day. But just remember most of those second year guys played in the 41-7 win over KC late last season.

A sick Cutler threw for 238 yds and 4 TDs and the UDFA Rookie Selvin ran for 156 yds (9.2 YPC). And then we got destroyed in the next two games...that just shows you how bad KC was last year. They are even younger this year (and probably even worse as a team). They are starting like 7 rookies and Tyler Thigpen is their QB.

We would really have to play just terribly bad to lose to KC. I'm actually hoping this can be the game to let our D force some turnovers and gain some confidence going into week 5 and week 6 against some good teams.

I didn't think divisional games could be considered 'trap games' especially this rivalry

If we can play like we did today and beat NO, we WILL beat KC. No way we lose this next game.

Trap game alright. But I think the trap was setup by the Broncos. One of the few times I'll ever say this but we GAVE them that win. Worst offensively played game all season and since we have no defense, when the offense isn't there, neither is the win. Ughh, this sucks!

I still put this loss on the offense - they gave KC great field position on the turnovers.

Maybe a little lemon pepper too, with a side of grilled onions??? :D

When I heard Shanny give the stat about how many 0-3 teams win I went OHHH not good, esp since it's was in Arrowhead. The curse of Arrowhead lives on, guess the young ones didn't know about it.

If Cutler plays as "meh" as today.
If we turn the ball over more than once.
If our D plays as poorly as it has.

We still will not lose. The Chiefs are AWFUL.

Oh man you so jinxed us!

Traveler you called it right.Yea Denver is still the better team but just not today.Charles and Savage did a good job on returns to set up some of our scores.Plus Derrick Johnson had an excellent game as did LJ.

Now if I could only get this feeling for the lotto.

I hate that I was right. But I sometimes get a good read on our team in certain situations. We have certain tendencies at times and I think most folks on here can understand what I saying.

KC is always a problem team for us, especially at Arrowhead. We were extremely lucky the past couple of weeks. We beat two powerhouse offenses with a suspect defense. The hype started and Denver (some fans and sports writers included) started buying into it.

Our tendency of playing to the level of our opponent also comes into play. And for some unexplained reason, I knew this game was a setup.

No such feelings this week.

It's all on the offense today. Our defense made stops today that resulted in KC FGs instead of TDs, however the offense couldn't take care of business. Despite our bad play, we still had a chance to cut the lead to 3 in the fourth quarter but once again only got a FG. It's all about making plays and today we didn't.

I thought things were going to get rolling once Marshall got that TD, but I guess not.

You can't expect to win games if you turn the ball over 4 times. On the other side we are 3-1 through the first quarter of the season. Time to regroup and get ready for a home games vs. the Bucs.

Now I did not see the first half so really do not know what happened there but frankly folks the defense sucks and has all year..

Score was 13-10 when I first saw it.. it went down hill from there..

When LJ run s for 200 yards on your defense there are not other excuses.. Also Bly was put on a spit to day and all that was missed was the KC barbecue sauce..

You win and lose at the LOS.. That is all that was needed to say..

They (their D especially) played over their heads. We (our O especially) played under ours. When the scales finally balanced the result was ugly as hell.
On the bright side...I didn't realize we had such a good "hurry up" offence. When they went into that mode (albeit a bit late) KC didn't have the answer. We moved the ball at will. We were 4 inches away from overtime on that onside kick. If we had recovered it their D was far too tired to stop us...If, If , If...

Denver is going to win, 51-7.


Crackes me up everytime we get on a roll, and the ney-sayers come out.

We're not perfect, but we're 3-0.

Oh, wait...

Oops.

That game, and my above statements, was an embarrassment.

One thing I noticed today is that Jay is way too dependent on Marshal. Those two ints in the 3rd quarter he had guys wide open, but instead he tries to thread the needle and hit Marshal.

I think we make the playoffs this year, but this is a learning year for our young guys.

Congrats to the Chiefs. They brought their A game today. If they can get a QB that can throw catchable passes, and a better O-Line, they won't be a disgrace anymore.

I'm going to post once and only once on this game, and then the damned thing is going down the memory hole forever. It's already erased from my TiVo. The defense in the first half did its job aparty from that G-D'ed 75 yard LJ run. They kept the Chiefs from piling up an early advantage, and the one TD surrendered was from a first and goal at the 2 set up by Marshall's fumble.

Royal's fyumble was bad, Marshall's was worse. The 2 Cutler Ints were extremely bad ones; no pressure, plenty of time to throw, and they both had the "look" about them that he had seen something and KC was in trouble. Just terrible decisions on his part. Not tipped, not deflected, not flubbed by a receiver, just bad reads by Cutler. JC will be one of the greats, but he needs to learn to spread the ball around. There are a whole bunch of capable receivers on this team not named Brandon Marshall.

This one is on the offense. You will rarely see a QB pile up 360 yards and yet have a worse game. The running game was sorry. The whole bunch looked like they had been reading their press clippings.

We know its not a very good defense, but for most of the game they played...OK. Not good. Not championship level. Enough that we should have won this without too much trouble though. Kick coverage still sucks too, FWIW.

Positives? Pass blocking gave JC all the time he should have needed to crush KC. Prater can kick long FG's. Spencer Larsen can deliver a Hell of a hit. That is about all. Now I'm done and ready for Tampa Bay.

The Cutler INT to Marshall was just a horrible play on Jay's part. He had Scheff open down the middle for a TD. He never looked his way. I'm sure BM was the first option, but he had time to look him off and throw to Scheff. That was excruciating to watch. But, it was what it was. It happened. Jay will make more great plays and bad plays like that, it's who he is. All QB's make mistakes that hurt as the season goes along. Jay and the offense, outside of the RB's, will redeem themselves, the Defense won't.

The thing you can't give a break to is the front four of the Defensive line. They consistently play bad, play after play.

What game were you watching...sure the offense made some stupid plays...I saw an inept offense beat up on our defense. Making a few plays at the end of the game would have at least given us a chance.

That is exactly my point. We had chances to get back into this game and take the lead and we didn't. That is because we turned the ball over 4 times. You do that every game and you won't be successfull.
