Oh yeah.

I wanted to make the comment that...

Ronald Darby is playing REALLY well right now and nobody really talks about it.

For a guy playing opposite of Surtain who teams tend to shy away from now... Darby is playing REALLY well. I don't want to jinx it but just think of when we had Champ Bailey and how hard it was to find that solid #2 CB knowing teams were going to stay away from Champ and test the other side of the field.

BTW, Surtain had 6 targets this week and gave up ZERO catches.

Reminds me of the greeks. Back in the day if you won a match you got your head chopped off and it was considered an honor.

I had one too many concussions playing sports. I even had one in basketball. But I don't think I turned out too crazy. ;)

so the way Belicheck takes away Adams would be to put Darby and a safety trail Adams and put Surtain on the #2 Wr

be interesting to see how they handle Adams

The Broncos can prove themselves as worthy contenders by stomping their boots on the neck of a rival currently down. Let's ride.

I really hope we play with one safety and play an extra corner if we do that.

I am sadly disappointed this didn't evolve into a discussion of the importance delta plays in choosing the right options play. And before Mingo can chime in (Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?)

:D

Denver Broncos punter Corliss Waitman named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. He had a 43.6 net average on 10 punts. And he pinned the 49ers inside the 20-yard line 6 times. Waitman received a game ball afterward and now nets another honor. This is rare feat. Waitman joins Todd Sauerbrun (2005), Micah Knorr (2004) and Tom Rouen (2001) as the only punters in franchise history to garner the honor.

I will be in Vegas getting loud for the Broncos D in what I hope is a lot of orange. I will be rocking my new PS2 jersey! I can't wait for this weekend. Lets put the Raiders out of their misery. After attending dozens of games in Denver I have never attended an away game other than SB 50 which was a neutral sight game so very psyched to see what it will be like.

I’ve seen a number of games at M&T stadium in Baltimore. Including this green.

Joey Bosa with the Chargers is going on IR. Surgery to repair a tear in his groin area. Expected to return around week 9.

Chargers are snake bit again!

Appears Billy Turner obviously isn't progressing like we had hoped.

I hate to sound like a pessimist. And I’m not saying this because of the 11 point performance against the 49ers. But I think the 0-3 Raiders are going to get their first win this week. The Broncos will keep it close but the Raiders pull away and the final will look like a big win in a game that was actually closer.

Broncos 10, Raiders 27

Boy does this Twitter thread put some things in perspective.


It’s a wonder why McDaniels failed so hard here…
Wow, that whole thread is insane. I had heard it was bad, but never like that. Hopefully he hasn't changed his ways as that shit will fly even less than it did then.

Come on now. Our offense has to get better right? It was so hyped all pre-season and you can see the obvious talent and moments. I sure hope it gets better or it is going to be a long day in Raider land as the Raiders offense will be better than the Seahawks, Texans and Jimmy G 49ers.
