I hope we can even up our record again. I think we can be a 9-10 win team, and if those are divisional wins maybe we can be in the playoff chase.

 

Mike Shanahan is alot like Andy Reid after bye's. He's very difficult to beat. I'm not saying that Denver's defense will be great, but they've had time to work on fundamentals, get healthy a bit, and to gameplan for us. I don't think we'll go out there and score 30+ like some are predicting. I still think we struggle in the redzone at times and we make a miscue of some sort to stall drives to score those kind of points on a consecutive basis.

I think our offense will be able to move the ball though. My fear is how in the world are we going to stop that passing offense? We've got to put pressure on Cutler--the only way.

 

I have no expectations for this game. Denver can light it up, and thats a long flight. They can really lay an egg too though. Should be fun !

 

I don't see how it benefits us. We aren't a grind it out three yards and a cloud of dust type team right now. I know we want to be and we strive to be, but we are doingmore damage with the intermediate passing game than any other type of offense right now. And even with that being true, Chad's passes look like dead ducks being tossed around the field. The last thing we need is him having to throw with the elements fighting him as well.

Having said that...I love snow games from the visual aspect. :hi5:

 

Any given Sunday. I hope we can beat them, but we have to play smart and penalty free. They are still a good team and they play good at home.

I'm still on the high of todays win.:up:

 

Hold your breath guys! It's always tough to play at mile high...and their defense might not be so good but their offense is powerful...let them think we're already toasted...as a couple years ago

 

Lets keep in mid that they do have some very good corners on their team and that Pennington threw a few ducks out there that could have been picked. Their defensive line is an issue, but Elivis Dumerville is better than you think.

Ginn's big day will have to be backed up with at lest 50 yards next week for us to get the win IMO.

 

I would like to see how we stop Marshall too. That guy is a super stud. We really didn't stop Evans today as he has over 100 yards receiving. Marshall is bigger and much more physical. He is going to be a matchup nightmare really.

 

eddie royal looks fantastic, too. the baileys are out..

i hope pennington picks them apart and ronnie runs them over.

more importantly I hope our D can produce like we just did again.

 

how the heck did the pats stop them?

 

I got club level seats for this game.....FREE:tongue2:

 

:up:
I'll try to upload a few pictures. I'm taking my friend and she hates football, BUT she told me about 2 months ago that if I got tickets to this game she would go.:yes:

Denver fans are pretty cool, never really had an issue with them in the three games that I've been to.

 

They injured Cutler's throwing hand.

The Broncos defense is atrocious and I wrote this in another post but I think Miami will have close to 250 yards rushing. If NE can run for 250 with Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk and BenJarvis Green Ellis then Miami can certainly do the same with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Their pass defense sucks as well.

 

Also, Mr. Joey Porter is coming home.:shifty:

 

Dumerville struggles an awful lot. I think Jake should be able to handle him. Dre' Bly, in my opinion, is the worst starting Cornerback in the NFL. He's giving up 70% completion rate to Quarterbacks and he struggles against fast(er) receivers. He's going to be matched up against Ted Ginn. Ginn isn't great but if he plays half of what he did today, he'll be good. Bailey is out as well.

Their defense is awful as a whole. Good God, I have never seen a worse defense on video/film. They're putrid. They can't tackle, much like us, they're LBers run away from the ball carrier which I still don't understand, they're defensive front is just not very good and they have no talent in the secondary. However! If the Broncos defense shows up from the Tampa game, we'll be toast. Every game (aside from the Tampa one), they read and react horribly. In that Tampa game though, they displayed good pursuit of the ball carrier. It'll be interesting to see which defense shows up.

Regarding covering Brandon Marshall, I think we will have to put Jason Allen on him at some point.

Overpowered 4 of 5 of their linemen and blitzed.

 

Denver has an extra week to recover, game plan and work on fundamentals. Miami needs to really work on tackling and have another practice like they raved about last week. Curiously, Sparano gave the team a victory day off with the team getting Monday and tuesday off and not meeting until wednesday.

That seems very unParcells. I guess Sparano really is running this team. Maybe they do need a day off but I worry this will come back to bite em.

 

I was at Mile High for the Jags game recently. Their crowd was VERY loud and pumped up...until after the opening kickoff. They know their D is horrible and Cutler makes his fair amount of mistakes (still good though.)

I think if Miami's D shows up and plays like they did against Buffalo, NE, and San Diego then we can beat them and just about anyone else for that matter.

 

What is Jason Allen going to do against Brandon Marshall?:no:

 

Denver's capable of blitzing the passer though. They suck at run defense, but in that Monday night game they got to Cassell for 5 or 6 sacks, I believe.

I wasn't aware that Bailey was out, that certainly makes things easier for us and opens up the whole field for us.

I think that the Denver defense, in a lot of respects, is built on the same principles of New England's defense. Ronnie went nuts in the Patriots game, I expect to see a lot of the same principles put to use against Denver.

To that end, we didn't see a lot of the Wildcat today. I believe that was by design - we're saving up the new stuff for Denver next week.

It also seems like we've been saving Ronnie up for a big game. He's had a much lighter load these last few games than compared to the New England and San Diego games.

There really isn't a good way to stop Denver's passing attack. Cutler isn't rattled by the blitz, and Brandon Marshall is playing like a young Terrell Owens, with the attitude to match. We're going to have to rely on Porter to get pressure on Cutler, which I think can be done, and for someone - whether it's Will Allen, Andre Goodman, Jason Allen, or some hybrid conglomerate - to slow down Marshall in our secondary.

Let's face it though, the only real way to slow down Denver is to keep them off the field. That's why I expect to see us go ball control, with a heavy does of Ronnie in the Wildcat, against a weak Broncos defense.

 

I think he's physical enough and has the tools to matchup with him. Do I think it will work? Probably not. :lol:

The Patriots offensive line has struggled this year and Cassel holds the ball too long in my opinion.

OT: Anybody see Singletary's first PC? Love it.

Possibly. Good point.

Agreed.

 

I loved the Singletary press conference. He flashed the same intensity I used to see from him when he was a player back in the day. Loved it.

 

" Number one! We got to hit them in the mouth."

"Number two! We are not a charity. We can't give them the game."

:lol:

I love this guy and I hope he becomes a successful head coach.

 

I love that he had the stones to send Vernon to the showers early. If the Front Office has any backbone, Davis finds himself on the unemployment line come Monday.

I also read that Singletary, while walking off the field today, apologized to the fans for the team's anemic performance.

Class act guy, high character. It's obvious that he's got the intangibles to be a great head coach.

 

Absolutely. I was just watching it on NFLN. Vernon Davis comes to the sideline and shrugs off the taunting penalty he received. Singletary talks to him and Davis doesn't say much. Davis gets up and starts walking back to the watch the game and Singletary calls him and says "grab your helmet. We're better off without you." He did apologize in the PC. It was the first thing he said. He then said they needed to execute for 60 minutes. He benched J.T. O'Sullivan after a fourth down pick-six.

 

No need to talk stuff about Denver yet lets enjoy the win

 

I agree, but I live out here in Bronco land.:wink2:

 

I am looking for ROnnie Ricky Ted and Chad Pennington to go off this game

 

Shanahan is so over rated and so are the Broncos. They should be 2-5. They are ranked 30th against and thats when Champ was healthy. I will be at the game and I look for Chad the shred the secondary and Ricky & Ronnie to run wild. Dolphins 31 Broncos 23:up:

 

something else stinks....

oh, its this thread....

...and it stinks of bad karma good sir!!! :lol:

no really i hope they stay this bad for our game. our offense was really clicking against the bills and hopefully wee can do the same against a worse defense.

if it means anything, i'm 0 for 7 in my before-the-season dolphins game picks. and i picked the bronco's for this game, so i guess that means we stand a pretty good chance!

 

eh, and buffalo was 5 for 6 against us in the past 3 years. and we had just gone 26 games without an opening drive TD. and until this week ted ginn had never topped 174 yards receiving. this is a year to go against the grain, rattle some cages, and turn some heads

 

This thread isnt very respectful to any Broncos fans that may visit during the week. Let's try to maintain a friendly, approachable status among our rivals. Catching a bad rep as a site is not something a young site like ours needs.

 

this coming from a pats fan... :pity:

 

defying all odds








....Go Pats!!!

 

But Cassell holds on to the ball too long. Pennington knows how to get rid of it much quicker. No way Denver repeats that type of sack performance against us.

 

I have a feeling this will be all over the Denver forums

 

This will be a very tough game.
On a very high level:
Given the extra time Shanahan has had to prepare, the way they were embarrassed in NE and in addition to us playing on the road........ I will be surprised if we win.
