Buy or Sell

[cdumler7]

That's right

I'll dive in -

Buy or Sell: Manning is sacked less than 15 times the entire season.

I will buy on this one. The Broncos seem more committed to running the football meaning less opportunities to get to Peyton plus more guessing of what he is going to do on a certain play. Throw in the return of one of the best pass blocking LT's in the NFL and it makes sense that Peyton barely gets touched this season. We are playing better defenses this year but at the same time our OL held up just fine going against what the NFL Network calls the best pass rushing duo in the NFL in Houston and Hali.

Buy or Sell: Getting a little more political on this one but Jimmy Graham should be considered a WR more than a TE (asking this as this decision affects Julius Thomas for us and signing him)

Sell. Shouldn't matter how a team plays him, but what position the team signed him and designates him as. If Graham's going to call himself a TE on social media, then that makes him a TE in my book too. This stuff with Graham, if it's allowed, will make a complete mess of contract negotiations going forward too. If by some travesty Graham wins his appeal, then call him a WR, and make him compete against other, true WR's for Pro Bowl and All Pro honors.

And I think the NFL Network overrated Houston and Hali. They got enamored w/ them when they were feasting off inexperienced players. Look what happened near the end of the season. Chiefs barely got any sacks at all, and I think finished 6th in that catagory behind Buffalo, Carolina, New England and a few others. This includes games where Hali and Houston were playing.

Buy or Sell: The Denver defense records close to 60 sacks this season. (For reference, Denver had 52 in 2012, 41 in 2013, and Carolina finished #1 with 60 last year).

I will buy that, given that our key pass rushers stay healthy. The ability to apply pressure up the middle, something that has been absent for seemingly so long before last year, figures to be far better this year if all of our DTs (and DEs who we line up inside on passing downs) stay healthy. Add to that healthy Miller, Ware, and hopefully Smith on the edges and I'm looking forward to what I think could be our best pass rush ever.

Buy or sell: We will run the ball proportionally less this year than we did last year (last year we ran the ball 41% of the time).

That's a pretty easy buy, PM is really good at making decisions, either make the play or throw it away and live to fight another day. Damn if it even rhymes.

I think someone posted a "buy or sell" that the Broncos have no arrests or suspensions. If so, that is now officially sold, since Talib was arrested in a Dallas night club last night: Report that Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib arrested in Dallas false - The Denver Post

Doesn't seem to be too serious, but it certainly isn't good news.

Apparently it was Talib's brother who was arrested.

Thankfully my buy or sell of nobody getting in trouble continues to hold for now. Police were looking for some major media attention and unfortunately jumped the gun giving them media attention but not the kind you really want. They came out looking like an idiot and from what I have read even after it was found not to be Aqib Talib but his brother they still kept trying to say they had Aqib. I guess if you are going to keep on digging just dig a bit deeper and see what happens.


So to keep this thread going Buy or Sell: Broncos clinch the division by Week 15 of this season

Given the schedule and the good odds SD will be a pain in Broncos butt once again, I see that as a realistic buy. Neither KC or Oakland should pose much problem. Don't remember when we play Chargers in 2nd meeting, but it very well could have serious playoff implications. I hope both teams stay major injury free and give the fans of both some awesome games. One thing I will say though, if Denver's D is as potent on the field as were all hoping and not just on all the speculation thrown out there, there's a very good chance they can be the best all around D Denver has ever had and if that's the case, Broncos clinch div in wks 12.

Sell. I think we'll run the ball a lot more this year than we did last year.

Buy or sell: A quarterback breaks Manning's season passing yardage record.

If we are talking ever then I will definitely buy on that. If we are talking just for this next season I will sell. Although the passing yards have been going up lately that 5000 mark is still a tough one to do. I think the only player that stands a chance is Brees this season as he does have the perfect situation in a pass happy coach, lots of good weapons, and plays in a dome so the winter months are not quite as grueling. Even with all of that though I will say he only gets to the 5,100 yard mark this season. They have a pretty darn good defense so I see some games with them taking the foot off the gas pedal just like we did on a few this last year (otherwise I think Manning could have hit the 6,000 mark).

Buy or Sell: JJ Watt is the best defensive player in the NFL.
