Week 5- Time to Clip the Falcons

[Draft Crazy]

Their offense has bene great, their D has struggled.

Another good challenge for our D. Another good D to have our offense get some reps in and hopefully confidence down.

 

[Mingo]

Another quality team on the schedule to beat. Go Broncos!

 

[Draft Crazy]

Tevin coleman has sickle cell and may have to sit out this game.

 

[CEH]

Time to make another QB realize he's not that good.

 

[CEH]

Quintorris Lopez Jones who?

I cannot wait to see how the Broncos decide to play Julio Jones this week. Maybe the best WR we play the entire year. We kept AJ Green from having a big day against us like he has to the other teams they have played so I am confident in Phillips to figure out how to stop Julio from destroying us.

And of course then who will be under Center. Right now I feel confident no matter if Lynch or Siemian get the start. Both have shown a lot in a very small sample size that they belong in this league.

3 predictions this week

1. Devontae Booker scores his first NFL touchdown.
2. Bradley Roby gets an INT
3. Both WR's have 100 yards receiving. (Sanders and DT)

and.... Denver holds Julio to under 100 yds receiving.

My personal observation is that AJ Green is better than Julio Jones.

The Broncos play football like they are having fun - saw that last year too - they are a joy to watch for that reason alone. The Falcons better bring their lunch because the Broncos are going to run them ragged at altitude.

Big day for the Defense ahead in turnovers and sacks - IMO.

I'd love to see Siemian start and come out with an answer to Lynch's performance in relief last week - and have a big day.

Coming out of college I was always more on AJ Green then Jones. Both are great, not sure which one I would call better nowadays.

Green had about as high of a draft grade coming of college that I've given a WR. Jones had a pretty darn good one too though.

Honestly I would be torn on the two right now. AJ Green has been able to stay healthier and is just one of the most consistent WR's in the NFL. Heck right now even with no other I would say major WR/TE options that they have had in the past he is doing even better. At the same time when Julio is healthy he just looks unstoppable. He has the speed that just blows you away, he wins the 50/50 balls, and he is not afraid to go over the middle. I think you can be happy with either one of them though. I love DT but I would trade DT in a heart beat for either of these guys.

A source tells NFL Network's Mike Garofolo that Rob Gronkowski's hamstring is "not right" and that his injury has "not come along like they thought and hoped it would."

I was pretty happy when I saw Gronk on Madden. Not gonna lie.

Those hamstring injuries are some of the trickiest in the business. It is one of the longer muscles, works with 2 different joints, will be contracting and flexing almost at the same time because of how it is being used between everything that it connects, and because it is so long has a wider area that can be injured. Also it is one of the most ignored muscles in the body when people decide to stretch. The other issue is that it can start to feel really good maybe a few days after injuring it making a player think they have somehow healed then one wrong step and they are hurting even worse than before. So doesn't surprise me that it is taking longer than some thought.

If anybody gets the chance I would recommend going and watching the mic'd up video for this week on denverbroncos.com They picked the perfect player for this week in Aqib Talib. The guy is hilarious even during the game. On the big fumble he ran into the pile just screaming at the guy who threw the football pretty much straight up in the air "that was the dumbest thing you could have done...Jameis take him over the sideline and have a talk with him about that." Just was cracking me up. The guy loves what he is doing and is doing it maybe at the highest level he has ever played at. Last year I thought Harris for sure had passed him and that Roby was well on his way making it more likely that Talib was out the door after this year. Now though he has easily been our best Corner and maybe a top-3 Corner in the entire NFL up to this point.

 

[cdumler7]

Planning on watching some of the Falcons games tonight. Just some stats though to show how exciting this match up should be...

They are 1st in points in the NFL at 38 points per game
1st in yards per game at 478.8
1st in pass yards per game at 354.2
6th in rush yards per game at 124.5

In comparison Broncos are
5th in points given up at 16 per game
4th in total yards per game at 283.3
2nd in pass yards allowed per game at 162.5
22nd in rush yards allowed per game.

Maybe the biggest telling stat though is that we are 1st in QB rating allowed at 61.3 and they are 1st on offense at 126.3

I think the targets are coming Talib's way more than Harris Jr. That's respect to Harris. Last year it was the opposite. Team will start going away from Talib now and Harris will get his chances to make plays.

This whole talib police thing is not good.

 

[MileHigh64]

This whole talib police thing is not good.

NFL has been waiting for this, so they can apply whatever discipline they deem worthy. This could suck.

 

[randymon]

I'm totally shocked Talib shot himself ! OMG ! So the shooter on roof was proven invalid ? What shoddy investigating !
