Thread: Broncos Gameday Thread: Broncos vs. Browns

I know when I have said this of late it usually has backfired....but I think tomorrow is a game we can and should easily win

I wonder what the winning percentage is of teams with a quarterback making their first start?

We've seen what Quinn can do against the Broncos.
And we've seen what young QBs can do in their first games (Flacco, Ryan).

Better hope our offense lights it up!

Broncos can win if Cutler plays excellent.

BRONCOS go into the 'Dogpound' and come out with a win!

I don't expect a fourth straight loss, but the deck is stacked against us.

No Bailey (either one)
No DJ
No Pittman
Young and Scheffler question marks -- probably not full speed if they play

While the offense isn't hurting as bad as the defense, if Cutler can get back on track -- start making good decisions and making accurate throws, the defense is another story.

On a defense that was the team's weakness to begin with, losing so many players over the last few games are going to be very hard blows to overcome.

Losing two of the three starting LBs will make it that much harder to run the 3-4, unless they start using Moss or go really deep on the depth chart.

Anyway, we shall see. The Browns defense is as bad as ours (better than us vs. the pass), so if Cutler can get back on track, we should be able to move the ball and score points, and hopefully overcome a defense that will have new faces in new places.

Go Broncos!

Show us some heart and fire

It's time for the young guys to step up, play with pride, fire and passion and show they belong in the NFL and deserve to play for The Broncos!

The thing to watch tonight is whether the Browns are successful with the seam routes to Winslow and Edwards.

It should especially evident since our best LB's are out and none of the others are especially good in coverage. Not to mention our weaknesses at safety.

Could be in for a long night if the DL doesn't get much pressure against the hosses on the Browns OL.

Getting an extended look at Torain will be interesting.

I hope Denver will finally get a win tonight.......

If Flacco and the ravens can score 37 against the browns......everybody's super hero qb around here,....should be able to do better than that...

No int's PLEASE Cutler......and we should win....
30-28 Denver....

GO BRONCOS.......and enjoy the game everyone....

Good luck tonight Bronco fans. Can't say I'm pulling for your team because of competing interests, but I do hope it is a good game with no more injuries. Enjoy. NL

Going agaisnt Edwards, Winslow, and Lewis, I just do not have high hopes for tonight. I want to believe, but I think my beloved Broncos have finally hurt me deep enough that I have a hard time seeing the glass as half full.

Go Broncos!

I'm looking forward to getting to see what Woodyard can do.

as for winning or losing, at this point with this team, I don't care what happens. there's good and bad in both.

backing into a division title and making the playoffs gives our young studs on offense some playoff experience. so that's obviously good.

but we have some big holes to fill on defense, and one more playoff miss would give us a better draft position and give us a better shot at filling those holes. our offense should be a powerhouse for the next few years, but we're not winning squat with this defense. I'm okay with tanking this season and then becoming a perennial contender for the next five years off the strength of a solid defensive draft.

against our defense 85%.. In fact he may become an all pro tonight..

Pretty sad when my thoughts right now are "I hope this isn't an embarrasing lose".
