SNF - Broncos vs Raiders for first place

[SpringStein]

Finally DeMarcus Ware spoke to the media and said his arm was only about 70% this past game game. This week though he said feels like it is finally back to 100%. If he did that much damage at only 70% where he was constantly chasing the QB then this could be a fun week watching Carr run for his life.

What, 100%?! I'm sure his top is always 94%!.

I will take a 94% DeMarcus Ware!

To answer the earlier question I posted it was back during the 1998 season when the Broncos repeated as Super Bowl Champs!

And just a bit of an update on the Talib back issue. The 2nd opinion was actually recommended by the Broncos. The report from the 2nd opinion is that things look good. So much more promising than when Anderson went to get his 2nd opinion.

Well Talib isn't going to play, so I guess we will be seeing more Doss. Man... we really could have used Talib this week

 

[cdumler7]

It is official of no Talib. The good thing is though everybody else on the team is expected to play. Brandon Marshall, Matt Paradis, and Kayvon Webster all are listed as questionable but all are expected to play according to Kubiak. Talib is a big loss but as we saw last week thankfully we continue to show we have depth that can step in and perform at a high level. I will continue to say this over and over that the first half of the season is about having quality starters but the second half of the season is where you begin to see the teams that have the greatest depth as injuries begin to show up more and more.

 

[cdumler7]

From the sound of it with Talib the doctor did not recommend surgery at this time. That doesn't mean he won't have back surgery at some point but that he can tolerate the pain for the season and still play at a high level. The plan is to give him a shot in his back and see how it reacts over the weekend.

The plot thickens......Talib OUT for the game.

 

[DJ]

Bombs away!!!!

I have to say - David Carr makes the Raiders a worthy opponent. I'm looking forward to the game.

@Dr Cyanide 28 here is the article I wrote for the week and think it is fitting for this thread...

Denver Broncos: Study the Past If You Would Define The Future

 

[CEH]

Kayvon out as well for SNF

 

[CEH]

Raiders #1 in red zone scoring 73%
Denver 19 50%

Raider red zone defense 52%
Denver red zone defense 50%

It may come down to Oak offense vs Denver defense

If oaklands scores TDs Denver is in trouble

Great job, Carl! Very thorough insight.

Bombs away!!!!

This pleases Doss, Roby, and Harris.....

 

[WalkerBoh]

Nope I didn't miss it. Just trying to stir the pot a bit. It's nice having 3 teams at the top with my chiefs in the lead.

With this depleted team, I have to bask when the opportunity presents itself.

At least TRY to use some intelligence when attempting to "stir the pot". You just look like a moron otherwise.

Great job, Carl! Very thorough insight.

Thanks! I'm hoping most weeks to try and break down games like that of what other teams have tried to do that have found success. Then hopefully we see the Broncos do the same.

 

[cdumler7]

So with Webster getting downgraded to out the Broncos did have to make a move today. They brought Tauren Nixon from the Practice Squad and he will be our 4th Corner in this game. They then cut John Phillips. So either tough sign that our Corner depth is hurting or good sign that they like the production of AJ Derby that they were willing to cut their #2 TE.

Math not your strong point. I get it... Denver fans are cuddly though!

Not sure about the world you live in, but on Earth 6 wins is greater than 5 wins. And at the present time, Denver and Oakland have 6 wins, KC only has 5. Just because you disagree with the laws of mathematics doesn't make those laws invalid, just makes you a moron.

And since it is useless arguing with a moron, such as yourself, my work here is done.
