    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    I'm not sure that we'll make the playoffs. If we lose to Oakland and NE, that's at least 6 losses. I don't think 10-6 gets us into the playoffs.

    Now we have to make up 3, so I guess 1 loss is really 1½ losses.

    I bet 10-6 is good enough for a wildcard. We and KC aren't the only ones fighting each other over a wildcard spot: The Bills still host the Dolphins later this year (and go to the Black Hole next week.) And Miami also has the Ravens and a home game against NE* left. They can plausibly drop 3 of their last 5, and Buffalo can definitely drop 2. 10-6 isn't a gimme at this point (in any sense) but if we can get there it's usually good enough.

    10-5-1 CERTAINLY would be.

    Yeah, they weren't hurting for time either, didn't clock the ball and didn't go for sidelines. The D was Swiss cheese.

    You know what sucks? The Broncos would've been better off if Okung didn't recover that fumble in the endzone. Damn OL can't even **** up right.

    Let's get back on track MODS

    The good - Von being Von and T Sim's ability to make plays with his legs.

    The bad - special teams

    THE ugly - 3rd and long from under the 30th, the Broncos giving up a 1st down to keep the drivery moving with 2:22 left

    Screw the fg. If you wanna go for the win, then give the offense one more play, not try a 62 yarder knowing if you miss you basically hand kc a win. Gambling while trying to hedge your bets at the same time doesn't work. You go on 4th, or you punt. Period.

    Actually, if you plan to try the FG if you can't convert, this is the best strategy:

    Just run it straight up the gut three times; it won't LOSE any yardage, and every inch you gain:

    1) Makes your eventual FG that much easier,
    2) Makes theirs that much harder and
    3) Reduces the 1:08 they have left to get into FG range even if you DO miss.

    Remember, Santos not only doinked it in from short range at the last second, but needed a big pass over the middle on the previous play to get THAT close. Those two incompletes stopped the clock so KC had plenty of time to move into range, and KC only had one time out left: Even if we gain NOTHING we can run that 1:08 down to about 0:18 before the kick, basically leaving them only 3-4 plays to go through our D from our 48 to Santos' range.

    Not to mention that if either of them had been PICKED people would be demanding Lynch starts next week, and demanding Siemians head on a platter.

    All that's easy to say with plenty of time to mull it over in front of a computer rather than 40 seconds to send in a play, line up and snap it. But it's the right call.

    I have no problem with the decision to kick the FG. If Denver was going to win that game they would of done it on the final drive of regulation where they not only gave up a TD but a 2 pt conversion. Defense was shit the second half.
