And meanwhile, back in the land of reality, the Broncos are 10 point underdogs in MN next Sunday against a pretty good Vikings Team that so far this season has:

Walloped the Falcons, lost @GB by 5, crushed the Raiders, crushed the Bears, walloped the Giants, beat the Eagles by 18 and the Lions by 12, handled the Redskins by 10 and lost @KC by a FG before bouncing back last night to beat the Cowboys @Texas Stadium. 8-2 and heading for a first round bye in the playoffs.

Let's not get full of it after beating Cleveland. They are, after all, still the Browns, despite all the hype and it's not looking like Baker Mayfield is going to have a hall of fame career, yet despite beating the Bills @home this past week.

Be a 'glass half full' guy for a change.

I just wouldnt be shocked the Broncos figure ot out and keep it close at least.

I seriously doubt that. Davlin cook is the man. He is going to torch us for a lot and lot of points and yards. In addition to that the Minny defense is really really good. They are going to get at least 3 interceptions on us this game and probably a sack fumble too. The game that Allen was going to have against the browns is the game he will have against the vikings.
4/14 37 yards, 2 ints. 3 rushs 17 yards. 1 fumble.

Personally, I feel we are having a slow bye week. Does anyone feel it?

I'll be a glass is completely full guy on the day Elway drafts a top 10 QB instead of screwing around with with stiffs like Joe Flacco, or 6th and 7th round scrub QBs like Brandon Freakin' Allen, who nobody on these boards knew who he was a month ago.

Every indication is that they are planning NOT to start Drew Lock this year except for 2 games at the end of the year that won't be nearly enough to determine whether he's the future franchise qB or now, and try and flog Joe Flacco off on the fanbase as the starter in 2020.

We won't know till we see whether they have a great press conference on Wednesday!

I Have faith in drew Lock. Get him a LT.

Minnesota is just such a weird, inconsistent team. They could beat us by 30 or lose to us. Just depends on which team shows up.

I dont know. Theyve lost twice only havent they?
I do not remember which teams, but I do know one of them my boy Dalvin was hurt in it (I have him in FF) or missed time or whatever. I think they are a pretty good team. What helps is us kubes is running the show. So we will know how to defend.

I remember back when I'd read an occasional Cugel.

They lost twice on the road, @KC and @Green Bay. By 3 points. They haven't lost at home yet. Who knows though? Brandon Allen might have his career game in MN, just like Brock Osweiler did when he beat the Patriots in overtime in 2015.

That got him a $37 million contract from the Texans, because teams kept expecting that version of Brock Osweiler to show up again, but he sucked his way out of the NFL.

At best Brandon Allen is the same thing -- a guy who might have a couple of career moments, but who is definitely not the answer -- except to a Broncos trivia question 5 years from now: "can you name all the Broncos starting QBs during the 2019 season?"

"Um, that year they started Joe Flacco, so Flacco, Drew Lock and . . . . I'm forgetting somebody else...?"
