Game Thread: Week 4- Denver Broncos @ New York Jets

[Draft Crazy]

Another early noon CT game. Maybe that is our calling this year?

Payton is either going to get praised for keeping his team on the East Coast all week if we win or he’s gonna get blasted if we lose.

He and Hackett are hanging out this week.

Payton has Penner's money to spend - and by golly he is going to do it. I'll bet Payton has hired 10 more front office staff - he's building a new player practice facility - they just put $100 million into Mile High and got a committee studying a new stadium idea. OH, and Payton's favorite players got new contracts - bundled with bonus money - to reduce the cap hit of expensive contracts.

This will be a tough game. Jets defense is for real and Aaron Rodgers is a huge upgrade over Zach Wilson. Breece Hall and Wilson will be a handful for Vance Joseph's defense.

However, I have growing faith that the Payton led coaching staff is going to get progressively better at scheming up each opponent. If I had to predict today, I would say a Jets victory but I think the game will be closer than people think.

Seriously? Rodgers is an upgrade over Wilson?

What makes you think that?

Riley Moss highest graded CB in week 3.

Riley Moss highest graded CB in week 3.

There was one play - I haven't see talked about - Riley moss is bore down on by a Tampa Olineman and Riley Moss tossed the guy to the ground and made an open field tackle on the RB breaking into the 2nd level of the defense. I'll try to find it - it was an amazing play.

Go to 5:13 for the play where Riley Moss tosses former teammate Tristan Wirth to the ground to defeat the block.

Riley has a hop to him. Hard to explain but he is always one second ahead mentally of the guy taking him on. Noticed it at Iowa... His decision and football IQ is just a little quicker then most and it has really helped him to get where he is today.

btw, Tillman becomes just the 4th undrafted rookie since 1990 to have 2 sacks in his debut.

LOL - I don't know where I put that vid of Riley Moss on this forum, but it was his teammate from Iowa Tristin Wirfs??? he flung to the ground to avoid the block. BTW - Riley Moss has very long arms - which I love in a DB.

Wirfs... The highest paid LT in the NFL I might add.

I suspect - if there is any team - Sean Payton would most enjoy thumbing - it would the wildly dysfunctional Jets.

Damn! That's a major blow to the defense.

The weekend is nearly upon us. Can't wait for this game on Sunday. 7:00 am game where I live. Depending on how the game goes, coffee might switch over to beer around 8:30 am.

Worried about our D without Singleton. Especially facing Rodgers, Hall, Wilson and company. Hoping the Broncos can put up 24 points or more.

Go Broncos!!

Props to Brandon Jones:

According to Pro Football Focus, Brandon Jones is the second highest graded safety in the league and has the third best coverage grade. In three games, the fifth-year pro has 19 tackles, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery. On top of that, he has been much better in run defense. He has only missed one tackle on the season which is far better than years prior.

I said this when we signed him and I know losing Simmons as a leader is tough but we saved a lot of money to upgrade at safety.
