Get out of here with that. .

It is Christmas time. We can’t win unless we all believe.

I think what happened last week could end up being good for the Broncos team or it could break them apart.

I personally don't see this as a weak team, and I think we will see them pull together and use what happened as motivation and pull the team together.

Here are the team stats from the last game:

Matchup
1st Downs	17	24
Passing 1st downs	9	11
Rushing 1st downs	7	12
1st downs from penalties	1	1
3rd down efficiency	0-8	5-14
4th down efficiency	0-0	0-2
Total Plays	51	76
Total Yards	286	411
Total Drives	12	13
Yards per Play	5.6	5.4
Passing	185	234
Comp-Att	17-25	24-40
Yards per pass	6.4	5.4
Interceptions thrown	0	2
Sacks-Yards Lost	4-28	3-20
Rushing	101	177
Rushing Attempts	22	33
Yards per rush	4.6	5.4
Red Zone (Made-Att)	3-6	2-2
Penalties	1-15	5-34
Turnovers	1	4
Fumbles lost	1	2
Interceptions thrown	0	2
Defensive / Special Teams TDs	3	0
Possession	26:36	33:24

Clean up the turnovers and there is hope. Stay close going into the 4th quarter and it could be a very interesting finish.

Have to take care of the ball though.

Who is pumped to whoop some Chiefs a$$ this weekend?

In an unprecedented move, the NFL requires the Broncos to off up their starting QB as the backup to Mahommes. Just in case the Chiefs #2 becomes ineligible due to covid. Be prepared for the league to have spare Chiefs jerseys on site on game day too in case any Chiefs starters become injured. They will likely require the Broncos to spot the Chiefs a player or two.

If you think I'm being far-fetched, keep in mind we did just see the league make the Broncos play without a QB. At this point I put no asinine decision past this league.

I really thought the Saints might let the Broncos borrow their PS QB for last weeks game.

Hey, I did take a full touchdown off their total from last game.

You look at those numbers and it's crazy the way we were waffle stomped.

Have you heard of this thing called the internet?

This just in: Garret Bolles, the highest rated LT in football (this really has been a weird season hasn't it) has been ordered by the NFL to report to the Chiefs facilities in order to begin preparations as a Chief. The league will require the Broncos to pay his extension salary and bonus and those numbers will continue to count against the cap.

@iknowftbll Too much eggnog rum??

 

[Mingo]

Come on man - let's make it equal - John Elway starts for the Chiefs and Andy Reid starts at QB for the Broncos = NFL equality.

@Mingo I told two of my friends today (Raiders and 49ers fan) that Denver was upsetting KC this week. They laughed at me.

This is the week! I feel it! I haven't felt this good about a Broncos/Chiefs game since our Super Bowl year.

Yes - I have the same thought. Strange, but it is a time for good to triumph over evil - so why not?

I was watching something today and it was said to beat the Chiefs you have to force them to run the ball to limit the number of times Mahomes has to make big plays in the passing game. Then on offense have a ball control offense that goes on long methodical drives. This has not been something that Denver has been good at. It seems when they have successful drives there tends to be several chunk plays, which leads to shorter drives.

The offense has to do the following 3 things:

• No turnovers
• Run the ball effectively
• Be in 3rd and 5 or less

On Defense they have to doe the following:

• Don't give up big plays, quick scores
• Limit rushing yards
• Force a couple of turnovers

I am looking forward to this game, but do not have the same level of confidence that DC does, but I am cautiously optimistic.
