Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs Texans 12-22-13

[wayninja]

Another penalty on Denver. I'm Shocked.

[Dapper Dan]

That hit looked pretty tame to me. I'll have to see it again.

[Bugs Baloney]

Dumb penalty period.

[Broncolingus]

Jesus Christ...

...****-ing horrible call.

**** you State Farm!!!!

[SR]

There was no hit to the helmet...or with a helmet...that was a clean hit.

[weazel]

bogus penalty. THe NFL is a joke and almost unwatchable at this point

[wayninja]

That would be PLENTY of fun. :)

Maybe for some. But seriously, if we were just easily the best team and cruised to a SB win without any doubt along the way... Not my cup of tea. Might as well just check in for the highlights.

[Timmy!]

That's ******* bullshit

[Edmonton Bronco Fan (2)]

What a horrid call. Refs are way too flag happy any time a receiver gets hit. Hate seeing the game trending this way.

[ShaneFalco]

Jeez CBS not even allowed to hit

[Dapper Dan]

Buncha weak-ass heifers.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

I'm sorry - but the Broncos get calls for things that other teams do not

[LawDog]

That is absolute horseshit. F you zebras.

[tripp]

Sylvester Williams with his 2nd career sack.

[wayninja]

Nice Williams!

[chazoe60]

The refs are terrible today.

[Bugs Baloney]

Williams growing up into those big-boy pants :shocked:

[Ziggy]

There's one.

[Nomad]

bogus penalty. THe NFL is a joke and almost unwatchable at this point

True!

[Dapper Dan]

Nice spin by Williams.

[Broncolingus]

Fouts is into full-retard mode...

...doesn't even know what down it is.

[Bugs Baloney]

Nice wrap up there Travathon. :defense:

[SR]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 2m

RT @fanchise5280: NFL regulates everything else, but no turf standards--->>>any stadium with a roof should be field turf, no questions asked

I disagree...the Cardinals have the best grass in the league along with Miami...Super Bowl grass.

[wayninja]

I disagree...the Cardinals have the best grass in the league along with Miami...Super Bowl grass.

Denver is gearing up to have some pretty nice grass in in 2014.

[SR]

I'm sorry - but the Broncos get calls for things that other teams do not

Not really...the officiating across the NFL has been pretty suspect this year...lots of players and analysts have been bitching about it all year long.

[Broncolingus]

THe NFL is a joke and almost unwatchable at this point

...it is absolutely getting to that.

No joke...

[Dzone]

Sly Williams spin move is awesome...Our run D is kicking ass today. Without Von Miller. D line is bringing it.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 23s

Scoreboard reads 10-3. Penalty board reads 5-0.

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 3m

Paris Lenon and Trevathan miscommunication on that last play. Meanwhile, Woodyard stands next to coach practically begging to get in.

[SR]

Denver is gearing up to have some pretty nice grass in in 2014.

You only get Super Bowl grass if you host the Super Bowl...

[Nomad]

The field conditions is what it is, BRONCO players need to suck it up and play.

[SR]

Who was it last week that was bitching about Denver's receivers not being able to beat coverage on their own or run routes to get open on their own?

[wayninja]

You only get Super Bowl grass if you host the Super Bowl...

Actually it was a joke about recreational marijuana. Clearly my joke sucked. I apologize.

[chazoe60]

Dan fouts makes me sick

I still don't get that...

[SR]

Oh..sorry...I don't get that line of humor.

[tripp]

Absolutely no need to throw that off the back foot.

[Bugs Baloney]

Manning got lucky there..

[weazel]

I disagree...the Cardinals have the best grass in the league along with Miami...Super Bowl grass.

but in Arizona they move the grass platform outside when its not being used.

[Broncolingus]

Manning looks like Michael Jackson with that glove...

"...Hee, Hee!!!..."


http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/thebrewery/MJAP.jpg

[SR]

JJ Watt

[Broncolingus]

Pass rush starting to get to Manning...

[Bugs Baloney]

Good "D" by Houston there. Plus a hit on Manning. :tsk:

[SR]

but in Arizona they move the grass platform outside when its not being used.

Yeah...Houston has pretty awesome weather...no reason why they can't leave the roof open a couple of days per week to get some sun in there.


Colquitt just flat out punked a Houston player.

[wayninja]

Special teams fail

[Broncolingus]

Jesus...

...Special Teams :tsk:

Getting consistently worse as the year progresses...

[Nomad]

Turnover coming for the BRONCOS:defense:!!

[chazoe60]

No holding call?

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Need to hold them to 3

[Bugs Baloney]

We need Woodyard right now.

[SR]

Letting a POS Houston team stick around is why I feel the way I feel about this Broncos team.

[AgentOrange]

Nice coverage.

Our ST SUCKS

[Nomad]

Go Colts!

[SR]

Got it

[Broncolingus]

KC's defense doesn't look anywhere as good as Denver's at this point...

(...BroncosForums Disclaimer!!!!! ...I realize there is another thread for other games...)

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 1m

Considering there are five players on that Denver defense that started the season as back-ups, can't blame the D. Can't do it.

[SR]

Great hit Irving

[Nomad]

KC's defense doesn't look anywhere as good as Denver's at this point...

(...BroncosForums Disclaimer!!!!! ...I realize there is another thread for other games...)

Miami isn't doing themselves any favors today.

[Broncolingus]

Nice hit by, Nate!!!

[Dapper Dan]

Nate Irving sighting.

[ShaneFalco]

Champ ballin

[tripp]

Good stop on 3rd in the RZ. I half expected a flag there.

[wayninja]

thank you for sucking ass Schaub

[SR]

Miami isn't doing themselves any favors today.

The only favor they needed to do for anyone was for us last week and they did it. Don't care about them the rest of the way. ;)

[Bugs Baloney]

Nice job keeping them out of the end zone.

[Broncolingus]

Jesus...

...anyone remember when Schuab used to be an (even) good, QB?

[Dapper Dan]

Good point by the announcers. Great pressure by a 3-man rush on that play.

[SR]

Jesus...

...anyone remember when Schuab used to be an (even) good, QB?

Like last year when he torched Denver in Denver?

[AgentOrange]

Wow, I must have a big broadcast delay. You guys are posting the result of the play before the ball gets snapped on my end.

[wayninja]

I hope Fox is on the sidelines coaching our offense to score.

[Ziggy]

Jesus...

...anyone remember when Schuab used to be an (even) good, QB?

Or maybe it has something to do with the way the Broncos are playing D today.

[tripp]

Jesus...

...anyone remember when Schuab used to be an (even) good, QB?

This is going to sound ridiculous. But anyone else feel maybe the Texans aren't really concerned with winning this game... maybe a draft pick would be a bit better?

[Nomad]

The only favor they needed to do for anyone was for us last week and they did it. Don't care about them the rest of the way. ;)

Oh! I misunderstood some of the playoff scenarios and thought they had to win to benefit the BRONCOS. I guess bottom line is, BRONCOS need to take care of their own business and not rely on other teams, though it would be nice for the Colts to win.

[Broncolingus]

Like last year when he torched Denver in Denver?

:D

...there's always an asterisk when playing 'that' team...:D

[wayninja]

This is going to sound ridiculous. But anyone else feel maybe the Texans aren't really concerned with winning this game... maybe a draft pick would be a bit better?

They seem to be playing hard to me...

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Drive it down for another TD

[broncosfannum24]

We need more balance on offense, 20 passes to 5 runs isn't helping

[Ziggy]

The Broncos are about due for a long TD reception from JT.

[tripp]

Congrats Peyton on 5,000 yds passing.

[Dapper Dan]

5k!

[Dapper Dan]

A screen for -3 yards would be a little bit funny.

[LawDog]

First down, second down, first down

[ShaneFalco]

The Broncos are about due for a long TD reception from JT.

DT!

[Nomad]

The Broncos are about due for a long TD reception from JT.

Has his number been called today?

[weazel]

this game shouldnt be this close

[Ziggy]

The Broncos are doing a phenomenal job on JJ Watt.....other than the one whiff by Orlando.

[Dapper Dan]

Keep going! Let's get a good drive!

[Broncolingus]

Or maybe it has something to do with the way the Broncos are playing D today.

I guess I just thought that for a veteran, 1) he made a poor decision on that throw and 2) then couldn't even deliver it remotely on target...

...but, I concede I am wrong (I guess was the point?) and this is the greatest defensive effort in the history of the NFL, to which no QB and offense could move the ball successfully against.

[Ziggy]

Has his number been called today?

He had a catch early on.

[tripp]

Has his number been called today?

A couple times. He was wide open on one pass which would've been a sure thing 1st down.

[Ziggy]

I guess I just thought that for a veteran, 1) he made a poor decision on that throw and 2) then couldn't even deliver it remotely on target...

...but, I concede I am wrong (I guess was the point?) and this is the greatest defensive effort in the history of the NFL, to which no QB and offense could move the ball successfully against.

Why don't you relax and root for the Broncos.

[Nomad]

Dangerous, Peyton!!

[AgentOrange]

That was weird

[Broncolingus]

Why don't you relax and root for the Broncos.

Yes, sir...

...anything else I need to do?

[tripp]

If I wanted to be greedy here, I'd love for them to drain this clock down and score a TD. Preferably a Moreno TD. He's hungry, feed him!

[Ziggy]

Dangerous, Peyton!!

Yeah that was an ill advised pass. Peyton looks good today though.

[Dzone]

expect a td strike after this timeout

[Dapper Dan]

Orange Julius!

[AgentOrange]

Nice running JT!

[Nomad]

Yeah that was an ill advised pass. Peyton looks good today though.

True!

[Ziggy]

expect a td strike after this timeout
They tried. How about after the 2 minute warning?

[Bugs Baloney]

Great, Great effort by JThomas fighting for that first down! :salute:

[Dzone]

Pregame worries have been assuaged. This team is super bowl bound. Plan your Bronco super bowl parties

[LawDog]

Points to end half, points to start the next. Pretty please.

[Nomad]

Great, Great effort by JThomas fighting for that first down! :salute:

Yeah, he's fun to watch. I missed his first completion.

[Broncolingus]

Pregame worries have been assuaged. This team is super bowl bound. Plan your Bronco super bowl parties

...nice :D

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 2m

I'll say this about Von Miller: If his injury was anything less than serious, he'd be on the sideline at least. He's in the training room.

[Ziggy]

DT just looks dominant today.

[AgentOrange]

Oh come on O line!

[wayninja]

embarrassing

[weazel]

cant win playoff games when you take this many penalties

[tripp]

Come on Orlando Franklin my fellow Torontonian, you're better than that!

[Ziggy]

Time for a Manning TD pass.

[weazel]

holding... this is disgusting

[Edmonton Bronco Fan (2)]

Jesus Franklin...

[Ziggy]

Great play by the defensive back there. Cmon Orlando.

[SR]

WTF Franklin

[Nomad]

What's up with the oline penalties?:confused:

[Broncolingus]

Well, maybe not the best series here for Orlando...:tsk:

[SR]

Glad to see Decker lower his head there

[Ziggy]

I think DT and Decker got together before the game and decided to make up for not having Welker out there.

[Nomad]

Call JT's number!!

[Broncolingus]

Mmm...lucky there, Peyton.

[SR]

Geeezus

[tripp]

Manning forcing throws here?

3 possible INT's in the first half.



I'd go for this on 4th down.

[Ziggy]

Was it me or did Decker have a shot at that ball if he dives for it?

[weazel]

O-Line isn't looking the greatest today

[chazoe60]

All I ask is that the other team not be allowed to hold either.

[ShaneFalco]

Prater was a good start today

[weazel]

Manning forcing throws here?

3 possible INT's in the first half.

I'd go for this on 4th down.


he's getting frustrated

[Broncolingus]

All I ask is that the other team not be allowed to hold either.

Agreed...

[Dzone]

One more Orlando f penalty -Pull Franklin and put in winston...Big O just cost us a touchdown

[Ziggy]

Penalties

Denver-7
Houston- 0

Hmmmm

[wayninja]

It's the second to last game of of the regular season. Officials need to keep it close so people watch. We will still win.

[ShaneFalco]

Need to run the ball more

[CoachChaz]

Almost seems like Peyton trying to force TDs #9 and 10 to Decker

[tripp]

I realllllyyyy hate to say this...


But we're a second half team anyway :D

[AgentOrange]

I realllllyyyy hate to say this...


But we're a second half team anyway :D
You trying to jinx us, son?

[tripp]

Good work Mike Adams, came out like a bat out of hell there.

[Ziggy]

Keep it up D.

[tripp]

You trying to jinx us, son?

Sir no, sir!

[Nomad]

Penalties

Denver-7
Houston- 0

Hmmmm

So you're saying Robert Craft has paid off Hochuli and his crew:D

[Broncolingus]

I'm surprised there wasn't a penalty on a Denver defender there...:tsk:

[weazel]

schaub lol

[wayninja]

Danny spinning after whistle number 15.... lmao

[Ziggy]

Plenty of time for a stop, TO, and another score before the half.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 2m

How does Houston not have a penalty and the Broncos have SEVEN? That's hard to do.

[ShaneFalco]

Dude just pulled an orton

[weazel]

he was trying to bring that back, thats a tuck

[Broncolingus]

I remember when that used to be a fumble...

...which, anyone with any monocle of common sense knows it was.

A fumble...

...but, it's a 'tuck.'

[LawDog]

No way we get this call

[wayninja]

Dude just pulled an orton

The right amount of tongue, but not enough neck hair.

[weazel]

why even review it

[wayninja]

why even review it

why not?

[tripp]

So... do we drive down the field or... call it a half?

[weazel]

haven't noticed, is Bailey playing?

[chazoe60]

And yet again major holding by the OL goes uncalled.

[AgentOrange]

haven't noticed, is Bailey playing?
He has been in but only a few plays from what I can see.

[wayninja]

haven't noticed, is Bailey playing?

Yep, looking like he's playing well too as far as I can tell... good coverage.

[Broncolingus]

Let's just not let Peyton get hit anymore before the half, eh boys?

[tripp]

haven't noticed, is Bailey playing?

Yes sir, that's how you know he is playing


EDIT: Yeah I think he's easing his way in. Not in on every down. But he's been effective!

[Nomad]

why not?

Is there only one review a half or 2 a game? I'm not sure.

[AgentOrange]

Jt! Jt! Jt!

[Dapper Dan]

Hell of a throw!

[Broncolingus]

Already in Prater range...:D

[Dapper Dan]

Lol. Really? No PI on that one?

[ShaneFalco]

Moaaaaar prater pts

[weazel]

Is there only one review a half or 2 a game? I'm not sure.

I think that was a booth review.

I was just being sarcastic when I said why review it because it wasn't going to get called back

[tripp]

Matt Prater kicks... and it's good!

[wayninja]

Houston playing tough in the redzone and on 3rd downs, but overall, Broncos moving the ball really well.

[Nomad]

Good job, Prater!

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 29s

Manning already has 296 yards passing. And there's another half of football to play.

[Broncolingus]

Nice...

...kinda need to get those penalties fixed for the second half.

...oh, and maybe chill out on the injuries too, eh?

[Edmonton Bronco Fan (2)]

Manning at 300 yards after a half of football. Ho-hum... just another day for the Sheriff.

[weazel]

Indy up 13-7 at half

[wayninja]

Just need to focus on records now.

[Az Snake]

50 Burger coming up !!!

.

[Nomad]

I think that was a booth review.

I was just being sarcastic when I said why review it because it wasn't going to get called back

That's cool! But, what's the answer to my question?

[weazel]

Just need to focus on records now.

yes that is the most important thing for sure.

[wayninja]

That's cool! But, what's the answer to my question?

I didn't really understand your question... Can you rephrase?

That was an automatic booth review, I'm not sure there is a limit on those.

[LawDog]

First half penalties were, um, offensive.

[weazel]

2 challenges per game. If right on both you get a third

[chazoe60]

2 challenges per game. If right on both you get a third

Random rule post of the week. ;)

[Broncolingus]

yes that is the most important thing for sure.

Nice...:lol:

[wayninja]

Random rule post of the week. ;)

He was answering (potentially) a question from Nomad, just didn't quote the question.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

HOUSTON -- Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with a knee injury and will not return.

After initially saying his return was questionable after an examination in the Broncos' locker room, Miller was declared out for the remainder of the game.

Miller will likely undergo some additional testing when the Broncos return to Denver, including an MRI on Monday morning.

rest - http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10180506/denver-broncos-lb-von-miller-leaves-knee-injury

[ShaneFalco]

rest - http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10180506/denver-broncos-lb-von-miller-leaves-knee-injury

Fingers crossed

[Dapper Dan]

The "Play of the first half" was a big hit on special teams. It seems counterproductive for the NFL to push the sport as safe and violent at the same time.

[smith49]

Did it look bad? When it happened that is?? I didn't see the play, but didn't he walk off on his own power??

[Dapper Dan]

Wow. I forgot Mays signed with Houston. Awkward.

[Joel]

This is going to sound ridiculous. But anyone else feel maybe the Texans aren't really concerned with winning this game... maybe a draft pick would be a bit better?
Everyone on that whole team is playing for their jobs, Schaub more than anyone (Wade's just trying to make his interim HC job permanent.) Our D's just shutting them down; if it weren't for a bogus "shoulder-to-shoulder=helmet-to-head" flag on DRC they'd only have 3 pts in the half.

[Dapper Dan]

And they just showed the Mays hit on Schaub. Really?

[Dapper Dan]

The Texans are playing disciplined this game. :lol:

[wayninja]

Did it look bad? When it happened that is?? I didn't see the play, but didn't he walk off on his own power??

It didn't look that bad, he didn't take a hit or anything, just put weight on it as he was getting blocked high. Looked like maybe a sprain or something, he did walk off.

[SR]

Shitty start to this half too

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 11s

RT @srjohn65: @VicLombardi @coloradorebecca Is he at least on the sideline?--->>>no he is not

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 2m

RT @coloradorebecca: @VicLombardi have you heard any update on Von Miller Vic? ----->>negative. have to wait until after the game.

[wayninja]

The texans have a good secondary/pass defense and it shows. Manning is having to put most of his throws in very tight windows.

[EastCoastBronco]

Another 3 and out? Against this team? Really?

Am I the only one that has a bad feeling about where this team is right now in respect to a playoff run?

[wayninja]

Another 3 and out? Against this team? Really?

Am I the only one that has a bad feeling about where this team is right now in respect to a playoff run?

C'mon. The texans suck, but not because of their defense...

[tripp]

I cringe every time we nudge a player of theirs when he drops the pass.

[weazel]

W I D E Open

[Edmonton Bronco Fan (2)]

Couldn't have been any more wide open. Bust by Mike there.

[Broncolingus]

Well that wasn't exactly the best coverage...

[SR]

Bad

[SR]

Another 3 and out? Against this team? Really? Am I the only one that has a bad feeling about where this team is right now in respect to a playoff run?

No.

[weazel]

C'mon. The texans suck, but not because of their defense...

some of us are more interested in a Broncos win than records...

[Ziggy]

I'd still like to be a fly on the wall of the D coaches room when they are talking about Woodyard and his playing time.

[Dapper Dan]

Potato.

[wayninja]

some of us are more interested in a Broncos win than records...

Ok... whatever the **** that's supposed to mean...

[Bugs Baloney]

our safties.... :tsk:

[weazel]

No.

really? even a little?

[SR]

Looks like they already made the switch to the awesome second half soft zone defense.

[SR]

really? even a little?

No. As in no, he's not the only one that's concerned.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Thank you Johnson

[ShaneFalco]

:lol:

[wayninja]

Andre Johnson... LMAO

[tripp]

Dropped TD, 3 dropped INT's.

[Broncolingus]

Thanks, Andre...

...now, why don't you go yell at Schaub on the sideline again...

:tsk:

[Dapper Dan]

:lol:

[ShaneFalco]

:mad:

[wayninja]

I made a sandwich while that play was happening.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 50s

Tony Carter getting some reps at corner. So many changes.

[Dapper Dan]

Schaub sucks.

[SR]

******* defense sucks

[Timmy!]

Boldin is horrible.

[Broncolingus]

Well, the defense may have some things to work on going into the playoffs...:tsk:

...and Denver's in a dog-fight against a 2-14 team.

[SR]

Vic Lombardi ‏@VicLombardi 50s Tony Carter getting some reps at corner. So many changes.

Our coaches are destroying this team IMO

[Ziggy]

Looks like they already made the switch to the awesome second half soft zone defense.

I have no clue why JDR plays so much zone D with the corners we have.

[Edmonton Bronco Fan (2)]

I'm genuinely starting to worry going into the post-season. Our D just isn't good enough in its current state.

[ShaneFalco]

Omar blowdin

[chazoe60]

Omar Bolden just stopped on that play. WTF defense

[SR]

I have no clue why JDR plays so much zone D with the corners we have.

Because he sucks

[Dapper Dan]

I really hope the coaches are just trying to confuse the opponents going into the playoffs.

[Nomad]

******* defense sucks

I hate to be a debbie downer, but I think I may agree with you, as in the lack of confidence in this team in the playoffs.

[SR]

I really hope the coaches are just trying to confuse the opponents going into the playoffs.

Slash piss off fans.

[LawDog]

I almost wish USC was still looking for a coach. JDR not impressing me after his stint as interim HC.

[weazel]

Ok... whatever the **** that's supposed to mean...

you know...


Just need to focus on records now.

[CoachChaz]

I really hope JDR gets offered a head coach job somewhere. 3rd down in the red zone and Bruton and Bolden are the safeties. WTF

[Az Snake]

I still think the Broncos can win this.

[Ziggy]

I almost wish USC was still looking for a coach. JDR not impressing me after his stint as interim HC.

There will be plenty of head coaching jobs open at the end of the season.

[Nomad]

I still think the Broncos can win this.

Oh, they will my friend, but this team should be playing better against a team like the Texans.

[wayninja]

you know...

Jesus, are you really that dumb?

Learn to recognize sarcasm, humor. They will help you not post stupid shit.

[Dapper Dan]

Soooo.... If someone is hoping to get rid of our coaches, I hope you know someone better available.

[ShaneFalco]

Would be cool to run the ball once in a while

[SR]

Now Peyton is forcing passes like he does in big games

[Broncolingus]

Way to go, Broncos!!!!

:tsk:

[tripp]

Christ.

[Magnificent Seven]

All WRs need to step up!!!!!

[chazoe60]

I expect nothing from this team anymore. :shrugs:

[wayninja]

I still think we can win this.

[broken12]

Amazing a 2 win team has more fire and more to play for than a bronco team....sad
