Game Thread: Week 7: Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos

[fightinredantz]

The Broncos pulled out a win in some tough circumstances in New England. Now they are rewarded by coming home to play the Chiefs who are refocused after a loss to the Raiders, and have a tough game against the Bills tonight. On paper this looks like an one sided affair with the Broncos on the short end of things, but this team is gaining confidence, and getting the Chiefs at home is better then going to Kansas City. If the Defense can hold KC early and the Broncos can get a lead, it could be interesting. If the Broncos get down early then it is likely lights out. If Denver were to play a 7 game series against the Chiefs the might force a game 5, but on any given Sunday anyone can beat anyone.

Hopefully we will get several guys back next week, including AJ Bouye, Noah Fant, and Melvin Gordon.

Think we can score 31 against fuKC? Is this because we put 37 points on the jets?

If denver is within 7 at the start of the 4th qtr that’s a win. I mean KC beat up denver with Matt Moore.

On the injury front things sound like they might be starting to get better. Fant, Gordon, and AJ Bouye are likely to return form injury. Dre'Mont Jones and Demarcus Walker have a chance to play on Sunday. No word yet if Risner or Spencer will miss time yet.

I don't respect their defense.

I don't respect their defense.

I Hope you’re more correct than me. Their D is top 10 and our O is ranked 29th & cant get going. I think we’ve lost 9 straight to fuKC and I don’t see much to make me think that trend will change any time soon.

Haha I would say that's good but the last time the Broncos played the Chiefs in the snow...

And - I'm a complete homer.

It's simple folks - if the Raiders can beat the Chiefs - the Broncos can also beat the Chiefs. Last week Drew Lock led the Broncos on 6 scoring drives (all FGs) - more than once his receivers had critical drops some in the end zone. The Chiefs are not as as good a D as the Patriots and the Broncos D is better than the Raiders. Go Broncos!

It isn’t simple. Games aren’t won on paper!

Josh Jacobs is a 4:00 minute clock killer.
You need to grind out two first downs to close out a lead against Mahomes or he'll come back and beat you. He's a unicorn and real time HOFer.
Denver's receivers need to stop dropping NFL quality passes. They may lead the league. Tenn came to drop pass to close the game. Sunday would have been a 4th qtr party if only 1 of the 4 perfect passes was caught.

Sure does help when you have an OL like the Raiders do. Perhaps the best OL in the NFL.

Looking like we will get Fant and AJ Bouye back, but Risner sounds doubtful.

 

[Mingo]

I'm looking for the revenge of Drew Lock - to avenge his loss to his favorite team growing up -- the one he had in the snow in KC last year. All he has to do is get his receivers to hold on to the ball. The injured players are returning. Go Broncos!

Hamler sounds inteiguing this week. Had a good day of practice yesterday.
Jones and Walker were designated to return but haven’t seen they have fully practiced so could be another week.
