[sneakers]

Is anyone who will be on the 53-man roster going to play today? Will you watch the dreaded 5th preseason game?

Go Backups!! Go Broncos!

I'll watch! I have no threshold for what qualifies as entertainment!

[Shazam!]

Kill VJ's defense Mr Flacco and Co. Please

[VonDoom]

I'll watch! I have no threshold for what qualifies as entertainment!

That's the right attitude!

[VonDoom]

Since this game will be painful to watch, let's play "will we score a TD at any point tonight?" (Note: I'm not suggesting actually betting on a preseason game - what are you, some kind of degenerate?)

Reasons to think we won't score a TD -
Our offense has been so brutally bad in these last four games, I'm not even sure if it qualifies as "offense". We've scored four TD's in four total games
No Flacco or Lock means we have to hope that Hogan and Rypien can do anything, which, based on last game, seems to be no.

Reasons to think we will score a TD:
Out of our four preseason TD's, three have come in the last few minutes. Nothing will keep you watching till the bitter end like a garbage time TD
The DC of the Cardinals is Vance Joseph

Friggin VJ is retarded

[MasterShake]

Its either watch this and stay with the baby or go to back to school night. Preseason football and diapers it is! The baby will be wearing diapers, too.

[The Glue Factory]

The baby will be wearing diapers, too.

Does that mean you're wearing diapers? :eek:

[MOtorboat]

I can’t bring myself to be excited for this. Happy Gameday, I guess?

Yes. Some very interesting games if the underdogs can keep it close.

I will never understand how a pro football fan actively dislikes college football.

[wayninja]

I will never understand how a pro football fan actively dislikes college football.

1. No allegiance to any big college, so no fandom other than geography. Which I guess is sorta true of the Broncos too, but that but that brings me to
2. There are no "franchise" players. They go through the team in a few years and they are either gone, or in the big show. Hard to get vested.
3. The games are just different. Tebow would be a great example here that I think you'd find relatable. I never watched him in college, but I heard he did well.

[BroncoWave]

But let's be sure to watch the 5th preseason game full of guys who won't be on the team tomorrow!

I don't 'actively dislike' NCAA, but I totally agree with this.

[BroncoJoe]

If CU is playing on TV, I'll watch. But the only allegiance to them is the fact I went there along with two of my daughters.

That said, I will watch the Broncos tonight. I am probably in the minority that I don't mind preseason. You never know when a star is born.

I'll watch it until I fall asleep. It's on at 9PM here.

If these backups can't manage to score TDs against Vance Joseph I don't know what to tell them other than pack your bags and go home.

Wonder if the boo birds will come out when VJ steps out.

I'm of the same mind Joe. You never know which one of these guys is the next Rod Smith, Chris Harris. They made their bones in practice and preseason games. Looks like Malik Reed is the next UDFA to make this team. I'm not sure if he's playing tonight or not, but he may not be the only UDFA rookie making this team in the preseason.

I agree with Brian Griese. I don't think the opening day punt returner is on the roster yet-unless Cracraft shows something special tonight. If Rypien can tear it up tonight, he might just make the opening day roster. I don't think Hogan stays either way. Sua Cravens can solidify his spot on the roster with a big game tonight. If he has a bad game, he's probably gone. Can that no-neck rookie FB or Orson Charles win a spot on the roster or will the Broncos just carry an extra TE until Jano gets back? Will Juwaan Winfree have a big night and win a roster spot as the #5 or 6 WR?

There are a ton of story lines and players to watch tonight.

Winfree makes the roster hands down!
I like him better than Hamilton.
He is imo our 3rd best WR!

TWO fullbacks?

Where are you getting 2 fullbacks from? I said can that no-neck rookie FB or Orson Charles win a roster spot or will they just carry an extra TE until Jano gets back.

[wayninja]

I'm good with 2 fullbacks. TE's are clearly prohibited in Denver by the Football Gods, so... smoke em if you got em.

[Northman]

If a star is born I'll watch him in the games that count!

Pretty much. When Davis first took the field in the regular season it was easy to tell he was different than any back we had prior.

[MOtorboat]

Lol, I forgot he got hurt.

Not sure if i saw it correctly or not but did Indy sign Brock today? I thought i saw something on that.

They gave him a workout, he hasn't signed.

Word in Minnesota is that Kyle Sloter will be the odd man out unless they carry 3. Can you imagine the craziness here if he gets cut and the Broncos claim him?

[gregbroncs]

Love the Broncos usually watch most of the pre season. But My favorite college team plays their rival, and it counts, so I'll be watching that.

Sorry for the hot take but I'm starting to think this game may not be worth watching.

Hogan just has too much arm!

He's trying to hard, he has time.

He needs to gel?

Okay, Malik Reed made the team. Sit him down before he gets hurt

That's what she said!!!

[Northman]

Its a slow night for Slim i can tell. Lmao

[slim]

Is it Ramadan?

[Northman]

Simmons looking like he is ready to go on safari.

[wayninja]

If hogan could get within 15 feet of a receiver past 20 yards, it would be a big step in the right direction.

[slim]

Its a slow night for Slim i can tell. Lmao

I haven't had a beer in like a week. Imma enjoy this sixer like it's my last

[Northman]

Sheeeesh. Hogan making Tebow look accurate.

[VonDoom]

Hogan thinks our receivers are Gumby apparently

[ShaneFalco]

why the **** is hogan on this team.

we replaced chad kelly with this scrub? like for real?

I mean... I'm willing to entertain this.

We have our token FG out of the way.

It's actually better than the thread would suggest. Maybe that should just be a sticky at the start of all GDT's though.

Jackson has some quicks, if he can get in the open field he is gone.

Cracraft is destroying this vaunted, 4th string, VJ led cardinals defense.

Say say two thousand zero zero party over oops out of time.

[Northman]

Wait? Tampa Bay has a Qb named Vincent Testeverde? lol

I remember that... I think it's called a tough down or something?

Man, that drive almost looked like we have an offense.

Ok, Hogan is HEATING UP now!

Oh boy. The Riddickstans are NOT going to be happy.

[Ziggy]

I think RB Khalfani Muhammad deserves # 3 RB.

Muhammed made a case for himself. The fact that Booker sat with all of the starters all through preseason tells me that he's locked in to a roster position. The Broncos could cut the no-neck FB, keep Charles on the roster as an extra TE, and keep 4 running backs. With a new staff, it's hard to say.

With about 2000 people being cut in the next two days, there's bound to be a better punt returner out there. Hopefully a punter as well. Elway made it very clear that the Broncos have been doing their homework on roster bubble players from other teams.

[BroncoJoe]

Man, I got this weird sickness last night. Sore joints, muscles aching, headache and a slight fever. I was sitting in my chair with a blanket on me trying to watch the game, even though it was 93 degrees yesterday.

Went to bed at 8:00 PM. Feeling normal today. Strange.

I slept in a Holiday inn express last night. You clearly have muscle parasites.

[Poet]

At this point I'm willing to admit cutting Kelly was a mistake. I think Hogan blackmailed our staff because that's the only reason why he can still be on the team. Rypien is terrible, just cut him already.

[Rick]

In no way was cutting Kelly a mistake.

If Lock wasn't hurt we wouldn't even be talking about another backup because we would only carry 2.

Kelly got a fair shot with Denver and very well could have ended up starting by the end of the year but that he made a choice to get ****** up and enter someone's home. Kelly ****** up, Broncos didn't make a mistake.

That said Hogan is horrid and we probably need to figure something out, depending on how long Lock is out.

probably herpes. . .

Could have been a mild mild case of meningitis. That shit hit me once, out of the blue! The only sickness that has ever just knocked me the F down. I didn't eat for 4 days. Lost 17 lbs. Worst head ache, joints, etc all over my body. I couldn't stand up straight, I was trying but my body was leaning to the side. Maybe you had that Joe?
Dogfish is probably right, if you balls didn't hurt it has to be herpes.

[BroncoJoe]

My balls did hurt.

Son was sick earlier in the week, probably got whatever he had. But with me, if I can grab a good 10 hours of sleep I'm typically good the next day.

That said Hogan is horrid and we probably need to figure something out, depending on how long Lock is out.

The problem is that QB's get hurt. And, it's hard to say it's not a mistake when the starting QB isn't a 100% can't miss player anymore. On top of that, we're giving slots to either Hogan or Rypien. Both of which are low talent scrubs. He ****** up, he did wrong. And yet we have a worse roster without him.

[Simple Jaded]

The Broncos need talent at QB, Kelly has starter talent, cutting a potential NFL starting QB because he ducked up is textbook mistake.

They can't all be Tim Tebow wet dream fairytales, it's a mistake to even entertain such nonsense, but good luck with that.

[Simple Jaded]

Broncos had a player that shot. Himself. In the ass. Down in Texas, where the only person you're not allowed to shoot is yourself ... that's ****** up. He was indispensable, a Champion, belongs in the Ring of Fame and deserves our adulation.

Good luck with your team captains, I'll take 53 Talib's and kick your ****** asses.
