So far its been a running back weekend-Marshawn Lynch and Leggerette Blount the stars. We need Knowshon to go crazy and Montee to break one for 80 yards. Would love to see Montee Ball make us glad we took him before Eddie lacy. Montee can break it. I know he can. He's going to do it today!

Looks like it will be dry and above freezing but the wind is going to pick up around gametime with 20 MPH gusts. It may turn into one of those games where the team that does the most when they have the wind will win. That will make ball control even more important.

I'd rather it be warmer and less windy but I can't imagine this helps the Chargers either. Should be a good game.

NightTrainLayne
01-12-2014, 10:09 AM
Should be a great game. These teams know each other very well.

San Diego will be able to move the ball on us, and as much as we'd like to, we will not "stop" the run. We will have to hope to get a few key stops, and play well enough in the Redzone to force some FG's instead of TD's for the Chargers.

On the flip side, we have to score TD's.

As I put up my Broncos flag on the house this morning, I thought Bout what Shannon Sharpe had to say on Sirius XM NFL radio this past Friday morning. He said, "Tom Brady has had 5 games this season in which he passed for less than 200 yards. He's 4-1 in those games. Peyton Manning this season has 3 games in which he's passed for less than 300 yards. He's 1-2 in those games."

I.E., it's all on Manning. That stat really highlights how poor, ineffective, and just downright lousy our defense is. So be it. I always knew Elway could pull us through, and so can Peyton.

Go Broncos!!!!

It's only natural they're talking about "vitamins;" the Seahawks DID play yesterday. ;)

It's a measure of where we are that so many fans here (though probably not JUST here) are echoing the "we CANNOT afford to lose this game!" mentality that reports on the team suggests is so prevalent there. At 37, today could be Mannings swan song if it's a second straight one-and-done (one more and he gets a set of steak knives!) especially once again at home.

Regardless of whether the knock on Cold Weather Manning is valid, NO ONE truly ENJOYS gettins slammed around in freezing temps for 3.5 hours. We can say "real" football's played outside in the snow and wind (and thus, by impliciation, domed teams aren't "real" football teams,) but if a pair of freezing home playoff losses leaves Manning winless two years straight—despite the #1 seed BOTH times—what's his incentive to return for more of the same? Denver may be the only NFL team that FEARS HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE!

The real tragedy in that would be that (as has usually been the case in the playoffs,) Manning won't outright LOSE the game unless he completely implodes, which hasn't been as common as his worst detractors claim. Once again, the home team defense over which he has NO control will be decisive, along with the left side of our line and even Ramirez protecting him far better than in either of our previous games vs. SD. Moreno needs to run well in addition to catching and blocking, and neither he nor Ball can put the ball on the ground.

I'm confident that if we stop the run, protect Manning and keep an underrated Bolts pass rush honest with at least respectably consistent running, Manning will do his job. IF....

I hope and pray today's not the beginning of the end of the Manning Era, but it's all too plausible, as testified by the sheer volume of Denver fans (and players?) visibly worried about our chances against a 9-7 team that only made the playoffs in the first place thanks to a string of extraordinary luck and a bad call at the end of regulation vs. KC.

Last year's playoff game is ******* with people's minds.

Slick
01-12-2014, 11:01 AM
Denver definitely has way more pressure on them to win the game. Like Joel said, San Diego wasn't even supposed to make the playoffs. We absolutely have to take care of the football. If Peyton throws a pick early, I hope he keeps his head up and doesn't go sulk on the sidelines because the team feeds off that.

I think the offense will be prepared to face Pagano's defense even though they've done a good job in the two previous games of slowing Denver down.

Hopefully Del Rio has been doing his homework. My biggest worry is San Diego's ability to have long, time consuming drives. If they're able to run a 7 or 8 minute drive, I hope Del Rio starts blitzing a little more. Especially up the middle. Rivers is great at stepping up in the pocket and avoiding the outside rush. He gets rattled when pressure comes up the middle.

DRC on Allen, Harris on the other side and Champ on Gates sounds good on paper. We can't sleep on Woodhead, Rivers new Sproiles. I'd like to see tight coverage from our secondary and see them jam the hell out of their WR's and TE's

This has been a long two weeks. Hopefully the guys come out strong and not rusty. I doubt they'll be flat.

Happy gameday guys and gals. Go Broncos!!

I know this is a 'Capt Obvious' statement, but the BRONCOS defense have to get off their blocks, WRAP UP and tackle at the point of contact. I could care less about the big hits, just keep the Chargers from making positive yards and make them punt. Then again, Chargers may surprise us an throw this game.

Understandably; I just hope the team and coaches have found that delictate balance between ignoring the lesson against phoning in games and expecting a loss to a much lesser team. "90% of the game is half mental" and all that.

If we call blitzes to stop those long drives, they better be RUN blitzes, because that's what killed us. It's not like Rivers lit up our whole secondary—just Webster, who'll hopefully be benched or rotating with Jammer at dimeback because DRC, Harris and Champ are turning in Pro Bowl performances as our three starting CBs. I'm less worried about those three studs blowing coverages than our anemic pass rush (especially without Wolfe and Miller) forcing them to maintain coverage indefinitely, which even the best secondary can't do in the NFL.

We need to find a way to get at least SOME pressure and rush some throws, but MUST stop the run first or it won't matter: The Bolts will play classic old school ball control with nonspectacular-but-steady running and solid D to win a relatively low scoring game, where infrequent passes are only thrown when successful running establishes the pass with stacked boxes. We've seen a lot of that so far in the playoffs; SF@GB, NO@Philly, NO@Seattle and (until NE blew it open late) Indy@NE. Gunslingers aren't faring too well this year; dual threats are doing better.

Nolan, in the short time he was in Denver, did an amazing job against San Diego. Tough against the run and pressure up the middle taking away his ability to step up and buy time.

I hope Phyliss' jersey gets filthy today. Matthews being dinged up helps. Woodhead isn't a bruiser and Brown isn't scary. I think San Diego will be forced to throw a lot more than they did in the previous two games.

I guess the SD center recovered from His concussion.
League protocol; presumably the NFL docs cleared him Wednesday, because he missed the next practice and was Limited for the following one, as required by the protocol. Still could make for some interesting snaps, but I'm more interested in how ready Fluker is and how Clarys backup does. Isn't that the side Phillips plays?

I mainly hope we stuff the run and protect Manning; if we do I'm not too worried about the outcome (unless we do something unthinkable like cough the ball up 4X ala the NE/Indy games.)

Huh, I just remember hearing about how teams can't wear throwbacks anymore because they still have to wear the regular helmet because players are fitted for their helmet at the beginning of the year, and can only wear that one helmet. You could be right about special concussion helmets though.
