i love the Broncos, they are my favorite football team

but they played bad in that divisional game. cant blame it all on Rahim Moore. if it wasnt for Trindon Holliday scoring those two special teams TDs the Broncos probably would not have been leading. this year it seems the Broncos could be better and i expect them to get great seeding for the playoffs but anything can between now and then.

You think the Chiefs are going to beat the Broncos?

I think they split.

Injuries always play a big roll. I have faith that the 49ers can beat anyone, but staying healthy into the playoffs is tough to do...

If they stay healthy then I think they're in good shape.

Don't think we'll steam roll them. But you're right the past several years have washed away how good and devastating that Chief's home crowd can be at Arrowhead Stadium. I personally would have to much faith in check down Alex Smith. One thing for sure. Don't have to worry about him beating us over the top, so that might shrink the field for you guys. With Rogers-Cromartie flanking the right side and Old man Champ on the left. I think we're in pretty good shape this year.

Its a beast of a place to be on game day and if KC gets on a roll I expect it to be again this year. Smith will be fine. He can go deep when he has to but can beat you with a moderate passing game. You don't have to have a canon arm to win the whole thing. There is no denying that Denver is going to be tough I personally expect a Niners vs Broncos SB.

It's not like he hasn't won the big game before and have gotten there twice. I have faith and it wasn't his fault Rahim Moore gave up the 70 yard game tying TD with a minute and change to go...

Great regular season QB he is. But like I always say..."you got to be in it to win it"...

Sure he has won a superbowl but he also still has a loosing record in the playoffs and almost half his playoff wins came is just that year. No maybe not but it was his pick at the end of the game that did cause them to lose.

This is starting to look like an UGLY game brewing in Foxboro Thursday night. Vereen is definitely out for the next few weeks and it's being reported that Amendola will be out too.

Lots of pressure on Butterfingers Ridley and rookie receivers. Maybe they should give the corpse of Deion Branch a call.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Great....Amendola is hurt already

 

[karamazov80]

Same can be said about Drew Breeze. It's not like that guy doesn't tear it up in the regular season.

Yeah, but in fairness, Brees is more inconsistent with INTs, and it's a function of a team that usually hasn't had a balanced offense (little running game to speak of). As a result, despite some great passing numbers (minus the INTs), the Saints with Brees haven't have a regular season record even close to what Manning has had. And on top of that, the playoff games Saints have lost can't usually be placed on Brees's shoulders, so much as bungling idiot defenses, or other teams just playing harder across the board. It seems like Manning makes big mistakes in big moments, or doesn't step up at those times. The Saints witnessed this first hand in the Superbowl a few years back.

 

[316what]

If the Saints even have an average defense, I think they're capable of beating just about anybody. Last year, they had an all-time worst defense and still won 7 games!

Two words for you: Rob Ryan.

There's a reason Oakland, Cleveland and Dallas all fired him.

 

[karamazov80]

Jury is still out, but the Saints D, without many new standout acquisitions, played much better in the first game of this season than I recall them playing in a long, long time. Maybe that was Atlanta's bad offensive line's fault, but I don't think Ryan can be worse than what we've had in the past.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I'll have to get back with y'all. I'm still healing.

You must be a Chargers fan.

 

[316what]

You must be a Chargers fan.

Or Steelers.

Wow first you get arrested while appealing the suspension for FTA and now you caught driving without a license (oddly this was one of the citations he failed to appear for). I can see him possibly getting some jail time since he is a multiple times of driving without a license and the FTA. This is going to almost leave the league no choice to suspend him again.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I don't think Goodell has a choice at this point. What a dumb ***.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

He needs to be

Pat Bowlen and John Elway should think about going the Dez Bryant route and hiring a full time nanny for him.

At least a driver since he obviously doesn't understand driving without a license is illegal.

So I know this is an anomaly, and this fan is probbaly the exception, NOT the rule (hopefully) but still...

Redskins fan turns bottle into weapon

The Eagles were winning in the second quarter and driving. I heard a weird noise, like scratching at cement a few seats away. I turned to see this guy frantically rubbing something against the ground, and said to my friend ‘Something’s going to happen here.’ It did. Vick ran in for a touchdown and this guy sat up wielding a finely honed knife. He somehow has snapped an empty aluminum Bud Light bottle in half and sharpened an edge of it against the cement into a knife and was quietly inspecting his work.

What was really getting under his skin was a drunk female Eagles fan in front of him...

I may have to sell my tickets for Niners/Redskins

I have always rooted for Russell up until the moment Pete Caroll made him starting quarterback due to him being from this area and because of his underdog story.

I suggested considering trading Von Miller last month. I don't think after this latest citation he's going to have much trade value left. I smell year long ban coming.

I live less than 3 miles from the Bronco's headquarters. Little known fact is its about 1 mile away from a the Arapahoe County Justice center which has a jail and obviously a lot of police activity. I'm curious where all these violations against Bronco players and front office personnel is occuring. Could it be happening near the HQ and this police station? Maybe the Broncos should rent a parking lot 5 miles away and start a shuttle service for the players so that at least they get out of the crosshairs.
