Game Thread: Week 12: New Orleans Saints at Denver Broncos

[fightinredantz]

Dionte Spencer is the player that is believed to have tested positive today. Broncos plan to practice tomorrow with all preparations being virtual today.

Diontae Spencer tested positive today.

LGM tested negative on a positivity test today.

Didn’t see your post Jess.

I didn't realize that. Best to him. DeShaun Williams is providing a bigger impact.

Yes- Williams had his best game last week. If anything Williams is a good story, off and on our PS the last 3 years. At worst has proven we can depend on him for depth down the line.

I believe he started as a close contact and then tested positive. The first week was close contact? The last 3 I think were due to COVID. I believe he is clear now, but is getting back into shape.

He was a close contact but was never cleared before the first week that he missed, if he was negative he had enough days inbetween to be cleared, so that is my indication that he tested positive before the first game that he missed. So he has missed 3 weeks and unless he is activated tomorrow (hopefully he is) then that would be 4 weeks. Either way, a little concerning considering the majority of players have returned after 10 days... Glasgow tested positive on the wrong side of the week (day before the game) so he missed two weeks, but was activated right after the second game. Spencer will likely miss two games as well, testing positive just two days before our game.

All 4 of the Broncos QBs deem ineligible to play on Sunday.

All the QBs on the Broncos' roster are ineligible to play Sunday against the Saints after being deemed high-risk, close contacts, sources tell ESPN. None were wearing masks at the time of exposure, per source.

In a league driven by the QB and Denver has none. The NFL should postpone the game, but more then likely we will be forced to play with out a QB.

Royce Freeman will be the QB tomorrow. The Broncos are not forfeiting. As reported by Schefter. I found on Bleacher Reports site, but I can't post the link here.

Here is a link from ESPN:

All Broncos QBs unavailable Sunday vs. Saints

Broncos QBs Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were each deemed to be high-risk COVID-19 close contacts and none of the three can be in uniform for Sunday's game, the team announced on Saturday night.

As long as the Broncos test positive on the scoreboard. If I was a player - I would love to play in this game as a Bronco - screw up everyone's expectations.

I see there are 2 ways to look at it.
1. Us against the world
2. We are too short handed to have a chance.

I am sure the players view it as #1 when #2 is likely more the reality.

How can you put a game plan in for a WR
Multiple players will get hurt tomorrow

 

[Draft Crazy]

Week 4- Shelby Harris still not activated. Call me concerned.

 

[Draft Crazy]

I had a message from Alijah Holder today, sounds like he is gonna get some PT on D today and not just special teams.

 

[fightinredantz]

The Broncos are a completely 1 dimensional team (no surprise given the situation), and then they turned it over. The one thing they can't do. Every position needs to end with a kick.

 

[fightinredantz]

2 turnovers turned into 10 points. Defense playing pretty well, but the offense has to put a drive together and they can get back into the game. They need some semblance of passing game or it will be more of the same from the first half.

 

[fightinredantz]

Essang has gotten his first INT. Good for him.

 

[fightinredantz]

I see Lindsay and Callahan are out the rest of the game. Hopefully nothing serious with either.

 

[CEH]

Lindsey gets hurt every other game
Nothing new there

Dave Logan was saying on the Broncos radio broadcast that Ben Albright has seen the footage from the QB room. All the QBs were wearing masks and only took them down to eat.

NFL was absolutely playing favorites and absolutely screwed the Broncos today.
