Game Day Thread: the Broncos vs. the Colts

[TXBRONC]

It's time again ladies and gentlemen. Our beloved Broncos will be hosted by the World Champion Colts. I think this is going to be a closer game than many people think. Relax and enjoy the game y'all.

[Tned]

I'll be golfing again in the morning, but will join into the talk as soon as I get home.

[BigBroncLove]

I'll be watching every game as usaul, throughout the day. I came down to Sacramento special because it says its playing the Denver game out here, where as the bay area does not. Here's crossing my fingers that the scheduling remains true and I get to see the beloved Broncos :D

[dogfish]

GO BRONCOS!

Is that how you plan to watch the game DF? From behind the sofa. :laugh:

[Watchthemiddle]

I start work at 1 tomorrow instead of 4 so I will actually be at work for the entire game instead of driving in at halftime. Thats okay.

I am hoping for a weekend sweep of the big Colorado 3 for the weekend.

It started with CU today over the 22 point favorite Sooners. Rockies pounced on the D-backs tonight and will again tomorrow, and now to finish off the weekend it would be a nice cap with a win over the highly favored Colts.

Hey TX, I can hardly wait! And I agree that it could be much closer than people think. I don't see anything so special about their D that will prevent us from putting more points on the board than we've been doing lately. And this would be a great time for our defense to put something together, right? We need to pull off some old-time Shanny surprises (yeah, he's not the D coordinator, but you know what I mean).:salute:

I don't usually miss a game, but last week I was in Alamagordo, NM. And guess what?! NO Broncos coverage at all! I mean zip, nada... And I know there are quite a few Broncos fans fans in town, cuz I talked with this high school football team, in the parking lot of Applebees (don't eat there, btw). The featured Sunday game was Dallas vs. Chicago. What's up with that? Too close to Texas down there?

Speaking of that, I like the Cowboys this year. Wouldn't mind seein' them in the SB. Don't tell me that Dallas is not your top NFC fave? :laugh:

[dogfish]

Just hope I can get a decent stream up and running this week........

[Jaws]

Woot! It's here. Butterflies in tummy are very busy. Hoping our Broncos can put up a good performance and make this a close exciting game like last year's (only with the right result this time of course).

GO BRONCOS! :rockon:

[SmithOverTO]

Go Brewers!


Er uh...Broncos!


What a weekend for Colorado it'll be if the Rox, Broncos and Buffs have all won!

[DenBronx]

i really hope javon is a go. shefner might have been helping the broncos ploy against the colts so they take us lightly saying that javon might miss. and if he plays the dbs might not double up on him because marshal can also have a huge game. it would be very interesting if he does.

dayum! i got butterflies and its a whole 4 1/2 hours before kickoff.

[Skinny]

I've got Hou@Atl holding me over till the game. It's been a great game so far.

Anywho, go :defense: and. . .


Go Broncos!

[omac]

Well, I just benched Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison in one of the leagues I'm in; LOL, I'll could lose this matchup because of this move, but I really don't want to root for Manning and Harrison right now that they're up against the Broncos. :D

Get this, I replaced Peyton with brother Eli. Couldn't bench Peyton in my other league as his backup, Delhomme, is injured, but I would've started him if he weren't. :cool:

[Jaws]

Looks like I will miss the first quarter of the Broncos game, due to this Faiders v Fins game being half an hour late to start because of thunder and lightning.

Argh, TD for the Faiders. These Fins are useless.

[Jaws]

Got Braylon Edwards playing and he's doing very nicely so far.

Watching the delayed Faider's ~ 'Fins game, hoping that TVU's CBS channel will be showing the game later :D

Faider's on top so far :eek:

[Tned]

If it wasn't mentioned already, guys on BM are saying that ESPN's Mort is reporting Javon will be inactive.

[Jaws]

Hoping so too.

These Fins are making the Faiders look good :mad:

[Jaws]

If it wasn't mentioned already, guys on BM are saying that ESPN's Mort is reporting Javon will be inactive.

That's a blow :(

Let's hope our running game is firing on all cylinders today then and that B Marsh can build on the promise he's shown and Stokely can have a good game against his former team.

[Den21vsBal19]

Bet the Finster's spitting feathers at the mo !!!!! :laugh:

[Den21vsBal19]

If it wasn't mentioned already, guys on BM are saying that ESPN's Mort is reporting Javon will be inactive.
Thought I'd seen an interview saying where JW was saying he'd be fine? :confused:

That's going to hurt us if true, although it will hopefully be beneficial down the line.

[Skinny]

Faider's on top so far :eek:lol, i picked Oak. in 'Pick'em'. :tsk:

The Fins are stru...ggl...ing! There defense is'nt knowhere what it was when it was a 4-3.

[Chidoze]

Any body know what channel the game will be on TVU or sopcast?

[Cleveland Rocks]

Any body know what channel the game will be on TVU or sopcast?

Sopcast got a Cease and Desist order about airing NFL games. So, Sopcast is cutting down on the showing of NFL games - sucks I know. I wasn't able to watch the Browns game on it. Good thing I have an alternative way of viewing Browns games :cool:

[Tned]

Interesting, I just listened to KOA interview Cutler on the pre-game. Several articles talked about how Jay grew up a Colts fan. He just said he was a Bears and Cubs fan and didn't really follow the Colts.

I'm not so sure about that, I know the Streamed NFL site's ceased, but there are other sites listing SOPCAST channels.

SOPCAST Channels: 22763/23459/27150..............not tried them yet though.

TVU's running fine, I'm not sure where they get their CBS feed out of thought, so I don't know what the afternoon ko is.

[Tned]

That's mah boy! :elefant:

Go Broncos!!!

LOL, he also semi threw the defense under the buss. He said something about the offense being put in a position to have to score a TD on every possesion, which anyone that watched the second half knows wasn't even true. They just needed a TD in some of those possessions.

Anyway, he did go on to talk about how they offense needs to be able to run the ball and control the TOP.

[BroncoWave]

Is it just me or has this been the most boring set of early games ever?

I am flipping through the games on Sunday Ticket and I have not found one game to hold my interest.

I have the red zone channel on, but only half watching/listening. I have KOA Radio streaming listening to the pre-game interviews.


Also, for those that didn't know. Inactives are:

Walker
Lynch
Bell
Abdullah
Ryan Harris
Alexander
Sam Adam
Amon Gordon

That makes things interesting not only at receiver, but also at DT. Also, Crowder is active, so he might get some snaps at DE.

Not sure if Adams is hurt or if he is benched. He practiced all but Wednesday.

Heck, with both Adams & Gordon inactive, he may have to pull a shift in the middle :eek:

[Nomad]

GO BRONCOS!!!!! Lynch will be missed this game!

[omac]

Wow, that's dedication!

I've actually benched Marv too believe it or not.

Got Braylon Edwards playing and he's doing very nicely so far.

Hehehe, here's to hoping Marvin doesn't do well, at least in this week. :beer:

[Escobar]

whooo browns win:beer:

The Bills x Jets was pretty good. The rookie Trent Edwards had a great game, and it's highlighted by the fact that it's only his 2nd game, his first starting. Lots of poise in the pocket; nice, accurate throws. Real close game.

[BigBroncLove]

The damn Raiders Dolphin game needs to end so the Denver game can come on!

Nothing worse then having to wait to watch the Broncos, but being forced to watch a Raider win? Cruel and Unusual....

[Nomad]

BROWNS looking good since the Qb change!

[anton...]

Not sure if Adams is hurt or if he is benched. He practiced all but Wednesday.

i think its likely that they realised adams would be infective/ a hinderence if they ever decided to go no huddle so they are just keeping him off the field perhaps...

and it rests him too...

at least thomas will play an entire game...

:defense::defense::defense:

:werd:

That was my biggest worry in this game. The fact that our big DT's wouldn't be able to shift on and off the field with Mannings ability to call a no huddle, and catch the defense off gaurd and force a penalty for to many men on the field.

I think it was a smart move, I just wonder how it will translate on gametime. I expect to see the DE's to be playing closer to the DT's this game instead of the usual spread Dline that we are used to seeing this year, which might effectt heir ability to create pressure around the edge with speed.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

I'm so excited to see Tim Crowder play. HELL YEAH TIMMY!

[BigBroncLove]

Maybe cruel and unusual but Denver could take some pointers in how to win in Miami!

I agree, but the way that Miami rush D is looking, Denvers won't be ranked 32nd in the league :laugh: . I think Denver will run all over Miami...

[BroncoWave]

What the hell is wrong with Hixon? He actually got it to the 30!

[BroncoWave]

Nice running by Henry. We will have to keep this up to win this game! Nice start though!

[Den21vsBal19]

Nice run by Henry, let's kick some butt!!!!!!

[BroncoWave]

Another stalled Red Zone drive. Why does this team suck so bad in the Red Zone?

[Watchthemiddle]

So once again we fail inside the 20. Cutler has to hit a wide open Marshall for a first. We can't have him air mailing it early:mad:

[Den21vsBal19]

And now the fun begins :ugh:

Let's go :defense:

[BigBroncLove]

great job D!

[BroncoWave]

Come on guys, let's get a TD here and go up 10-0!

[BroncoAV06]

Like that look, 3 D-line man with Moss as a LB, got penatration on Manning.

[Den21vsBal19]

great job D!
I'm pleasantly suprised ;)

[Tned]

Another stalled Red Zone drive. Why does this team suck so bad in the Red Zone?

2nd year QB, give it time, they will get better.

[Nomad]

Get back to that run game! Henry likes the turf it seems!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

DJ is on fire, and having Moss stand up at DT and rush off his legs is giving Manning fits. That'd confuse me.

[Tned]

Marshall is a beast. He earned that first down.

[BigBroncLove]

MAn Marshall is a tough SOB. What a tackle to break!

[BroncoWave]

Marshall is a beast. He earned that first down.

Amen! He might make the Pro Bowl this year if he keeps this up!

And another first down for Henry!

[Skinny]

The 'toss sweep' is sweeping the colts defense off the feild. Nice running and blocking.

[Den21vsBal19]

2nd year QB, give it time, they will get better.
I'm not completely buyimg that, Tned, whilst I grant that JC's only in his second year, we were struggling to punch it in last year as well

[Nomad]

Keep it on the ground!

[Tned]

I'm not completely buyimg that, Tned, whilst I grant that JC's only in his second year, we were struggling to punch it in last year as well

And the year before, actually. However, we have a lot better offense this year (except maybe the line), with Henry, Graham and Marshall starting.

[Tned]

Wow, nifty play. :D

[Requiem / The Dagda]

This is like watching college football. LOL.

[BroncoWave]

Hell yes!!!! Shanny with the Razzle-Dazzle!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

What great blocks.

[Tned]

Man, Henry fumble, but Lepsis saved the day.

[Skinny]

WoW! :eek: Myers was way down feild blocking on the reverse (S.Young).

Great job. . .

[Nomad]

Go to Stokley or marshall

[Den21vsBal19]

And the year before, actually. However, we have a lot better offense this year (except maybe the line), with Henry, Graham and Marshall starting.
I agree, suggests it may be a philosophical problem..........

great run by Young I just hope Shanny's not digging to deep into his bag of tricks to early

[BroncoWave]

TOUCHDOWN MARSHALL!!!!

I am smelling Hawaii for this young man!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Can I Get A What Sucka. F All Da Fans That Sai Dwe Gonna Loooooose.

[Tned]

"Cutler to Marshall for a touch down" could be something we will be hearing for a long time and many times. :D

[Skinny]

TD!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!:elefant:

This what we needed!

Got to keep it up!

[Tned]

Can I Get A What Sucka. F All Da Fans That Sai Dwe Gonna Loooooose.

It's early, but anyone following the "can we beat Indy" threads knows where I stand.

[BroncoAV06]

Keep the pressure on! Man I am getting a work out going inbetween rooms to watch the Rockies/Broncos!

Young reverse was a great play.

[Tned]

TD!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!:elefant:

Got to keep it up!

Gotta keep Manning from getting comfortable.

[Nomad]

Can I Get A What Sucka. F All Da Fans That Sai Dwe Gonna Loooooose.


Settle down young man! A lot of football left! But the BRONCOS have come out impressive!

[BroncoAV06]

Good field position for the Colts.

[BigBroncLove]

Man, more special teams problems. Not only poor level of play, but a huge costly penalty....

[BroncoWave]

Dammit! That's the last thing we need is to give Manning the ball at midfield!

[Den21vsBal19]

Gotta keep Manning from getting comfortable.
Preferably by repeatedly planting him flat on his arse :rockon:

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Our special teams coverage is horrendous still. That was a dumb penalty, but our D is going to stop 'em. :defense:

[Tned]

Giving Manning a short field isn't smart. Bad kickoff coverage and a stupid penalty.

[BigBroncLove]

Anybody else really surprised by the Broncos putting in three DE's through that first Colts Offense possesion?

[Uncle Buck]

I just keeled over on the living room floor! Last thing I remember, it was Denver 10, Indy 0! Wake me up when it's over!:rapture:

[Requiem / The Dagda]

If Moss keeps playing inside at 6'6, he's going to mess with minds. He just explodes off the ball. I think Tim might see some time inside as well.

[Nomad]

I thought Bailey could of gotten the benefit of a holding call but I guess not. It looked like Bailey was trying to turn but the Colt wouldn't let him go

[shank]

need another stop here.

that penatly was bs, hixon was making the tackle before he was out of bounds and the push wasn't unecessarily rough. free yards...

[BroncoAV06]

3-4 look, Moss is a rover at the line. Very interesting.

[BigBroncLove]

Ooooo, hopefully Harrison is okay.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

DJ Williams is all over the field today. Screw all the doubters. He threw Addai into Harrison. He's done.

[Den21vsBal19]

Giving Manning a short field isn't smart. Bad kickoff coverage and a stupid penalty.
Unfortunately nothing new there, coverage teams have sucked for a while now and whilst we don't give up many pens, they tend to be at costly moments

[BigBroncLove]

If Moss keeps playing inside at 6'6, he's going to mess with minds. He just explodes off the ball. I think Tim might see some time inside as well.

He has been using a lot of technical moves with his speed, and he looks very good for dealing with th guards inside. I am really surprised by his presence and ability in the middle right now.....

[BroncoWave]

Ooooo, hopefully Harrison is okay.

I hope he is 100%....after he misses this whole game! :D

[Tned]

DJ Williams is all over the field today. Screw all the doubters. He threw Addai into Harrison. He's done.

He's on the field.

[BigBroncLove]

Five defensive linemen... BAtes and Shanny are getting creative :D

[BroncoWave]

Come on guys. Hold these jokers to a FG!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

DJ is all over. Seven solo tackles, his pursuit and coverage are spot on.

[Tned]

Ok, that was crappy run D on that drive.

[BroncoWave]

Our running defense is still piss poor. Our offense better keep up their play or we are in trouble.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Tim Crowder got thrown all the way to the endzone, and Moss and Webster were plowed by him.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Well it doesn't help when they start at the 46. On that last play it sucked, but come on.

[Skinny]

Thats just bad tackling. He's got no business running through 4 defenders.

[Den21vsBal19]

Pathetic run D :ugh:

[BANJOPICKER1]

Pathetic run D :ugh:
Looked like we were doing ok at 1st...:D

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Hixon took like a second to leave the endzone, that's yards on the field. Stop thinking so much.

[Tned]

Looked like we were doing ok at 1st...:D

We still are, we are up 10-7 on Indy through a quarter of football.

[topscribe]

Looks like the TEs are getting active.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Shanahan to Jay Cutler on calling the time out: "What happened?"

[Tned]

Man, the early time outs to get old.

[Nomad]

Leave for 5 minutes to get the kids a snack and the Colts have 7! What happened! Sent the kids to their friends house, wife not here so now peace and football!:D

[BigBroncLove]

We still are, we are up 10-7 on Indy through a quarter of football.


Agreed. WE are going to give up poitns in this game. The Indy O is just to versatile, but so long as we can stop then now and again and our O can do its job, we can stay in this game till the end....

Get It Done Broncos :beer: :salute:

[Tned]

Dangerous and beutiful at the same time. :D

[BigBroncLove]

Great catch by the Broncos resident poet.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Jesus, way to hot too trot. That throw was crazy. Awesome.

[Skinny]

Offense is doing a great job throwing when it looks to be a run. Really keeping the Colts defense guessing.

[Tned]

Agreed. WE are going to give up poitns in this game. The Indy O is just to versatile, but so long as we can stop then now and again and our O can do its job, we can stay in this game till the end....

Yea, my prediction was 31-28. You can't shut Indy out (especially not Denver D), but you have to contain them and outscore them..

[Nomad]

Run game looks great!

[Tned]

Nice pass. Great blitz pickup by Henry to prevent the DB planting his helmet in Jay's back.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

These looks on offense are so creative.

[BigBroncLove]

Nice Draw, almost got there. Have to settle for 3 in a game where we can't do that to often, but it is what it is....

[Tned]

A shame they didn't pickup the first or getting in the endzone, but that is the type of offense that will be paying dividends not only today, but the rest of the season.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

A touchdown would have been great, but we'll take the points.

[Nomad]

Gotta love the Budlight opera commerical!:laugh:

[Den21vsBal19]

Is there a better stiff-arm in the league than Henry's?

[Watchthemiddle]

Thats two stalled red zone drives. We have dominated this game and now all it takes is a TD and the Colts lead.

Doesn't seem right.

:defense::defense::defense:

[Tned]

Ok, hope Elam isn't hurt.

[Tned]

Once again, Bailey the guy on ST making plays. :confused: Come on guys..

Manning + Short field = real bad things

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Seriously if Champ didn't play special teams we'd be screwed.

[BigBroncLove]

Special teams has got to pick it up. What a terrible job so far by ST. You wonder where they show up every game, because week in and week out it isn't with the Broncos.....

[Nomad]

ST tackling:tsk: Thank goodness for Champ!

[pnbronco]

You guys are too fast for me. I hope Elam is OK also, and yeah Daniel G and Nate J :elefant::elefant:

Well that and they don't have Scott O'Brien coaching them...

[topscribe]

No more excuses. The Broncos have a rotten run defense. :eviltongue:

[Watchthemiddle]

Once again...this drive shows why we need to put up points.

Over 200 yards of total offense and only one TD to show for it.

Come on defense...:defense:

Bailey making up for Lynch hey Dallas

[Den21vsBal19]

Well that and they don't have Scott O'Brien coaching them...
I though he was supposed ti be some sort of guru or something?

[BroncoWave]

God we have the softest defense...

[Tned]

Bad coverage and tackling by Bly.

[BigBroncLove]

ncie pressure on that play by Moss and Doom

[Tned]

Ok, a little pressure there, need more of that.

[BroncoWave]

Where is Simeon Rice?

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Yeah, as a I figured Crowder inside. Need a stop here.

[BigBroncLove]

Tiem to hold em here.... Do it Broncos... get it done :defense::defense:

[Tned]

Man, a hand length away from a sack or bat away. :(

[Watchthemiddle]

Just like that we are losing.

FG's don't work against this team.

:mad::mad:

[BroncoWave]

We still don't have a good enough defense to beat this team. We are going to have to win in a shootout if we want to have a chance.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

That's just pathetic, there's no reason a corner and safety are behind a tight end on that play.

[Tned]

Ok, time for the 4 minute offense to come in and march down the feild for a TD.

[Nomad]

Great ballhandling by Clark! Textbook!

[pnbronco]

ncie pressure on that play by Moss and Doom

I agree, and dang it...

[Rev]

Close game so far.

[Nomad]

We all knew Clark is the Xfactor!

We're losing the field position contest.

We ain't going to win a shootout if we can't put up TDs instead of FGs though

[Tned]

Not sure I liked that play.

[Watchthemiddle]

3 and out doesn't help matters either.

[BigBroncLove]

Two minutes left on the clock, enough for Indy to make this a game of catch up......

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Holland and Nalen got boned there.

[topscribe]

Well, they are starting to make TDs, and we are starting to punt.

[BroncoWave]

Just what we needed, a three and out.

Please don't get ugly, please don't get ugly! :ahhhhh:

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Sauerbrun needs to kick this to Philadelphia.

[Tned]

Just what we needed, a three and out.

Please don't get ugly, please don't get ugly! :ahhhhh:

[Tned]

Sauerbrun needs to kick this to Philadelphia.

Cause it is always Sunny in Philadelphia. :lol:

[BroncoWave]

The team's play. I don't care if the thread gets ugly! :D

[Watchthemiddle]

Good coverage. Defense needs to force a turnover with good field position so we can get another field goal.

:coffee:

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Wow, 110 year old fan. That's awesome. Congrats to her. :)

[Tned]

If Bly can't stop him, then hopefully Wayne will keep dropping them :D

[BigBroncLove]

:mad: Shoate burned again :mad:

[Skinny]

Doom!!!!!!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Shoate is a retarded down-syndrome pony.

[Watchthemiddle]

Is Harrison back in?

Put Champ on Wayne if not

[Tned]

Wasn't impressed with the move on Shoate.

Loved the pressure by Dumerville.

REally loved the hit by Bailey.

[Simple Jaded]

Yeah, as a I figured Crowder inside. Need a stop here.



So is Shanahan gonna try and catch the Cory Redding lightening in a bottle with Crowder and switch him to DT?

[Tned]

Second game in a row they called that on Rice.

[BigBroncLove]

off setting penalties my A$$. One is a major (holding) one is aminor (nuetral zone infraction). BS...

[pnbronco]

I just told my husband that would be me in 50 + years. Me telling stories about the Broncos and yeah Elvis!!

[Requiem / The Dagda]

So is Shanahan gonna try and catch the Cory Redding lightening in a bottle with Crowder and switch him to DT?

We only have three active DT's. Cannot have Moss playing rover every play and Tim does have DT experience.

[Tned]

Alrighty, boys. Nice stop, and the offense will get the ball back with 50 seconds or so.

great stop D

[topscribe]

Well, finally Rice does something. :mad:

[Skinny]

Is Harrison back in?

Put Champ on Wayne if notHarrisons out right now, return in doubt.... bruised knee.

[Tned]

The question is whether or not Shanny will trust Cutler and put the ball in his hands, or if he wants to go into the half more or less tied.

[BigBroncLove]

:mad: wow, even more screw up on ST..... :confused:

[BroncoWave]

off setting penalties my A$$. One is a major (holding) one is aminor (nuetral zone infraction). BS...

Doesn't matter. They could have committed 2 personal fouls and we could have been offsides and they would have still offset.

[pnbronco]

Well at least Peyton's not happy.

[BigBroncLove]

Doesn't matter. They could have committed 2 personal fouls and we could have been offsides and they would have still offset.

No, the head of NFL refs talked baout this on NFLN this week, and a minor penalty cannot offset a major penalty.

[BroncoWave]

Well at least Peyton's not happy.

That's the last thing we need is a mad Peyton. He will probably play better.

[Skinny]

Not good for Morris. . . .

[Watchthemiddle]

Thats a huge lose for their defense.

[BroncoWave]

Um, yes it can. If both teams commit a penalty they offset, no matter how sever each one is.

[topscribe]

Who won the toss? Who gets the ball in the second half?

[Watchthemiddle]

I think in the case of an offsetting penalty call they need to just let the play stand as if it happened without a penalty.

They get the ball.

Wahtever... the head of NFL refs talked about it, I know what I heard. BElieve whatever you want to believe, however wrong it is :lol:

[Tned]

It was probably smart with a inexperienced QB, but 51 seconds and 2 TOs, seems like you should have taken at least one shot down field.

[Tned]

Indy will get the ball.

[BANJOPICKER1]

Hey,we are still in it..If we keep running the ball like we have,we got a chance in this one.We just need to stop their first drive of the 2nd half!:defense:

[BroncoWave]

Wahtever... the head of NFL refs talked about it, I know what I heard. BElieve whatever you want to believe, however wrong it is :lol:

I have been watching the NFL for over 10 years and I have never seen an instance where both teams committed a penalty and they didn't offset. And I'm pretty sure that the refs that are actually at the game know the rules better than you.

[Watchthemiddle]

Not from the 10.

[omac]

Denver played a pretty good first half, with only the special teams play hurting us giving Indy only half a field to score.

Very winnable game so far. Hopefully, they play this well in the 2nd half too. :cool:

[BigBroncLove]

:lol: Did you realise the rules are revised every year? Like I said believe what you want to believe..... however wrong it is :laugh:

[Den21vsBal19]

Could have been worse, O looks good apart from an inability to convert in the redzone.

We're getting some pressure on Manning, and Bly (missed tackle excepted) & Champ look good.

Can't tackle either on running plays or returns

[BroncoWave]

:lol: Did you realise the rules are revised every year? Like I said believe what you want to believe..... however wrong it is :laugh:

I will believe a call that I saw from actual refs until you can prove to me that they got it wrong.

[BigBroncLove]

Actually BaileyTheBEst Is right, I jsut read that major and minor penalties, if happening at the line of scrimmage offset. Hwoever if they are an action majopr and a LOS or actio nmajor minor they do not offset.... So Bailey is right.... Sorry

OH SNAP!!!!
:eek::eek::eek:

[lex]

It doesnt matter what we do on offense when we look this lost on defense. Shoate looks utterly clueless out there. Why is Foxworth not at nickel or dime and have someone with more experience at safety. Safety is not his primary position. Cox/Abdullah would be better than Foxworth at safety and it would free up Foxworth to replace Shoate...or Paymah and then he can replace Shoate. If the Colts have clock to work with and can run pass, were in trouble. Dumervil needs a big second half and Rice needs to get more pressure. But probably most of all guys need to tackle. Its bad enough that Shoate misplays the ball carrier that bad but Ive seen Williams not wrap up several times.

It does matter what we do on offense. It should be 21-14 at worst right now. Defense has actually played a decent game with the exception of a few plays.

[BigBroncLove]

:first:

...

:second: :D

Just rememebr though, your example of an uneccesary roughness (or whatevr you said as anaexample) would not offset a LOS offsides penalty since that call is an action major and the offsides is a LOS minor :D

More info for your footie ball minds

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Denver pick six.

I agree. Im talking about going forward. The defense hasnt looked good.

This is the most potent defense in the NFL, the defense looked good considering that. They had a few busted plays. One drive they were run over a bit.

If the D keeps the Colts to 7 points a quarter, the Offense has to do their job.

[lex]

Whats with our KO Returns? They still suck.

[BroncoWave]

He ran about 15 yards before a Bronco appeared in the screen. :mad:

[Tned]

That looked liked an old style Broncos cut back with the defense all flowing playside, and the back getting a big run to the back side.

We keep getting close to Manning, but he gets it away. The reason he is the best.

[BroncoWave]

Our defense is pathetic. Utterly pathetic. We will be lucky to win this game.

[Watchthemiddle]

THis is pathetic tackling at its worst. The most fundamental aspect of playing defense and we can't do it.

[Escobar]

wow......:shocked:

[lex]

Ahem, like I was saying.

[Tned]

Manning just brings so much to the table. He could see the Broncos taking their time on every play, and I bet he called that sneak himself and they snapped it before the linemen were even close to set.

[topscribe]

Addai 12 yards, Addai 10 yards. Any QB could look like the best with that kind
of running game.

[Watchthemiddle]

Offense has to counter.

Well that makes 3 TDs in like 17 minutes...but go ahead and keep talking down to me if you want.

You can blow sunshine up people's butts all you want but I call it like I see it. We will be VERY lucky to win this game.

Get Hixon out of there!!!

RUN THE BALL!!!! Stop turning your back into the defender you SALLY!!!

Isn't there anybody in there who can run kickbacks?

Refresh my memory....Was that our lone TD?? :confused:

Oh thats what our QB is doing with his running game...got it!!

ill-advised pass..... :ahhhhh: :eek: :mad:

Just an JYI. I prefer to leave people's butts alone.

Back to the game.

That was a bad INT, and I guess exactly why they didn't put the ball in Cutler's hands at the end of the half.

Have to hope for the D to manage a hold for only 3.

[Skinny]

BMarsh has to play the DB on that pass.

[topscribe]

Marshall shows his maturity by throwing the helmet! Jay was taught well by Jake, what would he expect!

I am waiting for him to lead this team. Be a QB instead of just a gun slinger. Thats all. Still waiting. 7 straight games with an INT. Not good.
