Game Thread: Lions vs Broncos

[SpringStein]

Dear NFL,

After today there are 4 regular season games remaining. May we play the Lions each week? We will even go to Detroit for two of them.

Grateful for your consideration of this request.

fangio is really dumb with his challenges. Needs to give his flag to an assistant.

Very great way to honor DT today! Absolutely dominant victory! Javonte and Melvin were both fantastic. Need to carry this effort into next week. Big match up with Cincy.

Apparently, the last Broncos drive went for ……..88 yards. RIP DT 88.

It was a great way to honor Demaryius. Even better to get that dominating W...

And it was cool that the Lions were in on it to decline the penalty.

The Broncos managed a perfect commemoration for D. Thomas - kudos to them for that. I was completely impressed about how the players on this Bronco's team paid tribute to DT. It is the kind of thing that can spark a playoff run - when a team finds a reason to fuse together. The Simmons interception was Super human - and perhaps other worldly ordained.

Great win and great way to honor DT. Now I will tempore the excitement by reminding myself it was against the Lion's practice squad. Play this inspired against the Bengals and I will be impressed.

Man I can't wait for next year when we have a QB that can actually throw down the field.
Yes we won 38-10 but Teddy was average at best. Not sure we will keep having those running lanes going forward. Teddy is going to have to step up and make some throws.

Given the broncos recent history, you are being awfully presumptuous.

i’m taking an optimistic view assuming Elway out of the picture is a good thing.

pretty sure he sold his soul to the devil for 2015

Sadly, John Elway was still the Broncos best QB in the organization since Manning retired -so there's that.

What's weird is Kirk Cousin has 27 TD and only 5 INTs. Rodgers is 27 and 4. He is a consistent 30 TD 10 INT 4000 yards guy

I'd take that if he is option after the big 3.

He is like 2-26 or so when trailing in 4th qtr something to keep mind.

Back to the game - worthy of mention was the Dre'mont Jones defensive series - where he got a sack - a TFL and deflected a pass. Jones has really come on recently.

Numbers wise he is absolutely a top 10 QB, but what I cannot understand is why he hasn't consistently won more games. I think he gets great garbage time stats, but rarely do they mean anything. He is probably an upgrade over Teddy, but not by that much.
