Game Thread - Week 9 at Indy

[Malibu]

We have them both here and I think we win both of them. But this loss doesn't give us any room for error in other games.

You are more confident then I am. Seriously can there be one game with out a turnover? Is that really to much to ask?

If the Broncos play like this against ANY opponent they will get embarrassed. It's the NFL. The Colts were a 3-5 team in disarray. I'd say the Broncos took them lightly but they always play the Colts sloppy. It's weird. But the Titans with a backup QB would have embarrassed the Broncos with the way they played today. The Jags would have too. ANY NFL team would have. Even a bad one.

I don't bye the take them to lightly b.s. If that's the case that's also on the coach and we just got rid of one. The Colts are better then the Broncos of late period. Throw records out the Colts handle the Broncos very well in recent history. That's all that matters.

 

[SpringStein]

I didn't see any of the errant passes that I've heard about from Luck today. The only one I can remember that was close was one that Talib had a shot at. But even that one wasn't that bad. I'd argue that when Luck played as well as he did today, Indy isn't a 3-5 team.

 

[iknowftbll]

I didn't say they took them lightly. I said I may believe that if this game were an anomaly. But playing like shit against an inferior Colts team seems to be SOP for the Broncos. Don't know what it is, this team just gets in their heads.

 

[Duffman]

So we should all expect 1-2 INT and maybe 5 good plays from Manning every week now because apparently that's all he's good for.

If shit doesn't improve and we get blown out against NE I don't care what record we are put in Brock and see if he's the future. I'd rather find out now than half way into next season.

We have too many guys that can't step up their games when things go wrong. Instead of grit they go stupid. We got away with it so far because weak offenses. We are still 7-1 but, we have to get smarter.

 

[randymon]

Yeah. Denver did not take Colts lightly and don't take anything away from Colts. They played a great game and the difference in this game was Denver D not stopping Colts on 3rd down. End of story. Good game. Should end up being a positive for Denver knowing their not invulnerable and there's things they need to clean up going forward. Hats off to Indy. Nobody gave them a shot in hell and they pulled it off. 7-1 is still sweet. I just was hoping to see what Manning could do with 28 seconds and no timeouts but that stupid holding call ruined that. Oh well. I expect they'll take their frustration out on KC next wknd.

That's not happening but this turnover shit is getting really old. I'd like to see these wr's get more physical as well but been saying that for a few years now. You get in there face and they fold. Thomas needed to fight on that last Manning interception more then he did. I'm just asking for one game with out a turnover. I guess that's to much to ask for.

That's what wee all hoping for but some of the injuries are piling up and that o line and running game took a step back.

I agree. In previous weeks when the going got tough the Broncos defense bucked up. This week they buckled like a bunch of pansies. Honestly I hope Kubiak won't start Talib for that cheap shit he pulled toward the end of the game. It's one thing to go out and fail to execute. That's bad enough. But then to act like that toward a fellow player? I don't give a shit if he's on the other team. I don't give a shit if Talib has won us a couple with his picks this year. He shouldn't get the start next week for that shit. This team needs to learn to compose itself. That shit was bush league tonight. The whole thing. There isn't a team in the league who can't beat you when you play and carry yourselves the way the Broncos did tonight.

Really guys if you watch a lot of those 3rd downs Colts converted, Denver's coverage wasn't that bad especially in second half but Luck made some great throws and the wrs took some big hits and still hung on to ball. Wasn't that bad of a performance from Denver really. Colts just made more big 3rd down conversations than Broncos. It was a tough road game and they still had shot at the end. Don't be so butt hurt some of ya. We've seen them play worse than this game. I see this loss doing them some good actually.

Losses are never good and there were guys wide open. Yes it was a bad performance. No they didn't have a shot at the end because they didn't have the ball last. Sorry to disagree.

They would have had 28 seconds if they didn't commit penalty on fg. So there. Too much whining. You should be happy your not a Brown's fan.

 

[WalkerBoh]

Well, that was disappointing.

I kinda had a bad feeling once the news came down from Indy of a big shakeup. Stuff like that tends to inspire a bad team, at least for a few games. We happened to be the team in the crosshairs.

 

[SpringStein]

IKF has rightly expressed his disappointment with Talib What the heck are you thinking doing that in the wide open with cameras covering every angle?? I mean it's not at the bottom of some scrum.

The question - is he suspended a game or simply fined?

I don't know. There were a few plays were there was nobody around the WR. They let Griff Whalen get a pass up the sideline on 3rd down where there was nobody at all deep. There should have been a CB there. That was costly. You can't let guys like Griff Whalen make plays like that.

 

[randymon]

Certainly looked deliberate but seems out of character for Talib. Let's say it was their guy that did that to Thomas. I would say everyone here would cry foul and intent. Didn't look good that's for sure. Life goes on. Next up KC. Eye for an eye boys!

I remember that play - McCray was covering him. Talk about a mismatch!

Why so Manning could throw another pick? Because that's all he does now.
