Can we even call them Bold Predictions?

[cdumler7]

So I know this week somewhat feels like a bye week but figured might as well go ahead and put this thread up.

Would you take the Over/Under on Peyton Manning being out of this game by middle of the 3rd quarter?
My first bold prediction would be Peyton is out of the game with 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter on this one.

Ayers if he plays has his best game yet going up against a back up LT with a back up quarterback and ends up getting 3 sacks.

Broncos defense redeems itself and only gives up 7 points in this one and that is during garbage time.

My bold predictions are probably closer to my wishes:

1. Many of our starters sit out this game to get healthy
2. Brock Osweiller plays the entire 2nd half
3. Montee Ball gets his running game going
4. Broncos don't cover the spread, but still win by 14

You're wishing for the Broncos to only win by 14?

 

[MileHigh64]

Nope. Would love it if they win by 30. I'm just saying 14 would be good enough for me, if we're able to rest some starters and get everyone healthy for the 2nd half of the season. If we win by 30, I'll be dancing along with the rest of ya!

If they're a player listed as "questionable" of worse, then sit them. However, if they can be considered "probable" or better, they need to be out on that field at least until we build up a big lead. I don't agree with sitting anyone who's able to play. They still need to be on the field to stay sharp and hungry.

 

[Morpheus]

If they can play, they should. Need to stay focused and sharp for the Colts the following week.

I'll predict we cover the point spread. 41-10.

Manning gets another 3 TDs passing.

Brock gets another one.

Knowshon rushes for 1.

2 FGs by Prater in the 4th quarter.

Looking at the Jags run defense I think we may see Moreno post a big day through grinding out 14-20 carries and breaking 100 yards. But that's not the bold prediction. Hillman will also post 100 yards, and most of it will come on a single run, probably late in the game.

LOL Nice. Very specific prediction! Are you sure, however, that it is Hillman and not Ball?

 

[MileHigh64]

Could be Ball instead of Hillman. Hillman came out of the Dallas game with a slight ankle sprain and may be limited in practice this week. Could be a good game for Montee Ball to get some much needed reps.

 

[iknowftbll]

Yeah, I think it will be Hillman. Ball should get some carries too, but I think Hillman has more break away speed and is therefore more likely to outrun the secondary.

 

[Broncosr0k]

Yeah, I think it will be Hillman. Ball should get some carries too, but I think Hillman has more break away speed and is therefore more likely to outrun the secondary.

I would not be surprised to see Hillman and Ball exclusively in the second half. Ball could use more experience and this would be a good game for him to do just that.

I say ayers sits.. and phillips puts up 2.5 sacks putting his total to 8.. bye Elvis thanks for everything

Manning will throw for 4 passing tds in 2.5 quarters.... two going to Welker

and hate to say it but Blackmon has a big game... they will be forced to throw early and often and mjd is way past his prime

Denver covers spread and puts up new Denver record for points

 

[cdumler7]

I will throw this one out there...Osweiler get's his first NFL touchdown in this one.

 

[fastforward]

Manning will still be in the game with 4 minutes to go.
Other than Manning the only Bronco to throw a pass will be Hillman.
Stanzi finishes the game for the Jaguars.
The Broncos cover the spread.

If the Broncos cover the spread then why is Manning still in the game with 4 minutes to go?

 

[fastforward]

If the Broncos cover the spread then why is Manning still in the game with 4 minutes to go?

Because he's Peyton Manning and Peyton Manning doesn't come out of games early.

 

[iknowftbll]

He did against the Eagles. Didn't set foot on the field the entire 4th period.

 

[cdumler7]

Because he's Peyton Manning and Peyton Manning doesn't come out of games early.

Ummm well he has already this year so kind of hurts your idea that he never comes out of games early. With how banged up the Broncos are right now my guess is they are looking for every opportunity to get some of these guys some rest and if that is the case they would not risk Peyton being hurt say they take out an OL player or two. If say the Broncos are up by 21 or more points entering the 4th quarter my guess is Peyton doesn't set foot on the actual playing field the rest of the game.
