    It was getting frustrating. It seemed to be in the secondary but hard to tell from the stands

    Twice is seemed like Simmons was the guy trying to get off. Maybe just rookie confusion.

    Reports of Denver's demise (see Meril asshat Hodge) have been greatly exaggerated.

    That's been my hope, because it's also been too long since we had a bona fide centerfielder instead of a couple glorified LBs (or "puffed up" LBs, if Jaded prefers. ) As the S/FS divison continues blurring and the value of run-stuffing SSs in a passing league continues to diminish, it's another position where more and more teams either have a safety who does EVERYTHING well, or only have HALF a player. Like, it's all well to compare Teal Julius to Gronk or Witten, but they both do one very big thing very well that he does not at all (which is why he wound up on a bad divisions 5-11 team while we were winning a SB: But at least he got paid, right? )

    Before anyone says it: NO, Stewart is NOT like a certain other member of our secondary. I've seen several commentators note that, while he'll probably be fined for that hit on Cam, Stewart probably WON'T be suspended because he has literally NO prior history of headshots. And, while I've only seen the replay, at this point I've seen it ENOUGH that I'm not convinced Stewart would've made contact with Cams head if Cam hadn't dropped his shoulders and head as he followed through on the pass. Which is a perfect example of why penalties/suspensions for WHERE rather than HOW a defender lays a hit are SO stupid.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Never confuse frustrated candor and disloyal malice.

    Don't forget the guy who summed up Camolina as "Keep on dabbing" but the Reigning World Champs as "Falls off cliff." At least the Panthers remain BELOW us to break our "fall."

    It was cool to listen to Rodney Harrison eat crow after the game last night. Every analyst working the game claimed to be blown away by how well Siemian played.

    He's been a closet Bronco fan for years. We all know that. Lol

    I bet King knows more about the Broncos than the average Bronco fan.

    I do not prefer "puffed up", I used the term "pumped up", you're probably thinking of Shane/Chron.

    Sorry, couldn't remember which it was, but figured I had a 50/50 shot (when Shane/Chron talks about our LBs puffing up it's usually Von, not Nelson and Co. )

    Cj loves this offense. One cut and hit holes for big yards.
