Thread: Practice / Press Conference notes - week 7 (Cardinals week)

I saw people talking in the other thread so we might as well start this one. We only have two days to complain before the actual game.

We played the Cardinals in week four of the preseason on a Thursday night ... and now we’re playing them in another meaningless game on a Thursday night. Yeah!

I’ll take a Broncos win in this meaningless game.

Meaningless game? Nah, this is important to Broncos. Broncos are 1-1 against NFC West. If they win this game... the record would be 2-1 and they could go for 3-1 in San Francisco. It would look good on Broncos' record and they could win a tiebreaker in AFC West. Never know.

Lol. I don't think you have to worry about us being involved in any tiebreakers in the AFC West. Also, there is no specific tiebreaker having to do with your record against teams from the other conference. In fact, if you are going to lose games, you'd rather lose to NFC teams because most of the tiebreakers have to do with divisional record and conference record.

I am staying positive.

Why is the game meaningless? Is this an existential discussion?

I mean, it's not like we've been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, otherwise the start of our epic SB run this thursday would not be possible.

You can ascribe whatever meaning to this game that you want. I guess it’s not meaningless though - if we lose, I don’t expect VJ to make it through the weekend

It has all kinds of meaning. In fact, I'd say this is the most important game of the year so far, for multiple reasons.

This is ironic:

If only we ran more than 16 times per game.

I think the Rams were 30th in YPC allowed and that didn’t help us much

You have to throw the ball to win.

Someone told me that.

And ideally out of the back of the end zone
