chip by TE / chip by RB / double team help from TE or OG will help cover Ford throughout the game against Miller...Miller isnt the best pass rusher in football, hes a really good pass rusher, but with proper gameplanning, which I expect, we should be OK. Especially if we are smart and run an up tempo offense that Denvers D struggles with. This is a big reason why our staff has been rotating Ford at OT all season, to have him progress along slowly because they knew he needed work. The next few weeks will be a test to see how much he has absorbed now that he will be getting all the reps.

Micah Hyde, on his regular monday appearnace on that terrible Schlepp and the bulldog, said that no one is using the term "must win" this week, but that the team knows they need to come out strong and put this team down. Take care of business. That was encouraging to hear because you know the players are treating this game as a must win.

that game just got flexed from 1 to 430 too I think, NFL is planning on that being a marquee matchup

It is also possible the line actually just really played well in pass pro...they have had moments where they have protected really well. I think its likely a combo of bad pass rush and good pass pro

Why will Denver definitely move the ball? We have faced better offenses and they haven't easily moved the ball. Denver hasn't been an offensive juggernaut lol. They played better this week against Minnesota after having a full extra bye week to game plan and practice for them. They have a good run game and Sutton could cause White problems due to his size and physicality, but they have a young and inexperienced QB coming into not great weather against a really good D, on the road. We do need to play a full game for sure, and itll be close. I just dont see their offense as a problem if, as you say, we come to play.

Denver played well for a half against a Minnesota team coming off a huge emotional win over the Cowboys - a game that very much mattered. Denver had a full week off to prepare and plan for Minnesota. Minnesota's D isnt as good as our D. Denver does have a legit defense. Playing that game in a dome in ideal weather helped their offense as well. We should win, but it will be a close game.

apparently Tremaine Edmunds delivered a heartfelt speech to the team saturday night - anyone had insight into what exactly he said? Like hearing that he stepped up vocally, he sure played damn well.

they absolutely will, no worries. Also a lot of play action to keep their d-line honest. Hope to see some WR screens to Von's side with cut blocks on him immediately. Id say RB screens too but we dont/cant run those really well so I doubt it

JLC's report has been beat back by several local Broncos beat writers, and Cecil Lammey (footballguys.com and local broncos radio guy) - who went on a twitter diatribe yesterday against that report, saying JLC has no friggin clue what he hes talking about, and that the locker room is actually pretty tight and behind Fangio and his "process". So take it for what its worth. I do really like seeing them blow that lead against the Vikings yesterday though, hopefully all wind is out of their sails now.

I dont forget that at all. My post wasn't negative. It was realizing the reality. He is a project QB with a ton of arm talent. Have to give him time to develop. Brown aint a WR2....hes on pace to come close or surpass Andre Reeds best numbers here for a single season. Your smoking some good stuff. Does Brown LOOK like a WR 1? Not necessarily. Does he go get contested balls like SOME WR 1's? No. But he gets open consistently and catches balls...period. Can't believe people are still in that camp. Yes I agree we could use another WR 1 or an actual WR 2 (Beasley is slot). Josh has weapons, and its helping his development. Could surely use another though, on that I do agree.

that was also Milano out game which led to that

im not wondering it, of course he will, its the NFL...you only get suspended for any length of time if you smoke pot!! Garrett playing sunday isnt even out of the question in my mind lol

Agreed. Just really hoping he develops into the QB who hits those throws that good QBs make. He is still in his second year (and not even really that...has had less than a season and a half as a starter) as a RAW prospect coming out of a nothing college program. Gonna take time, IF it happens at all...he gets through next season before I will reach a conclusion as to if he is "the guy" or not.

also has more targets than anyone else other than Brown and Beasley....also has a terrible catch %

thread of the year candidate here, lol

Unless you think allen isnt talented then I disagree completely. We have two very good WRs, one who is setting records as a Bill so far (Brown). Two more than capable RBs, and a starting o-line that is great at run blocking and getting better at pass pro every week. Morse = great center. Dawkins = capable and even good LT. Spain = capable starting guard. Feliciano = capable to good starting guard. We are lacking a true starter at RT, WR 3 and maybe TE. So 3 starting spots could use an upgrade.....thats probably in as good shape or better than more than half the teams in the league. You have to be able to score points with that talent. We have the weapons/talent to score points. Unless of course your argument is Allen isnt good, because in the NFL, thats what it really comes down to. And if that is your argument, thats a different discussion completely.

hes been more than fine fitting balls in tight windows, he has no touch on long balls, that is where his accuracy has been poop since coming into the league.

so then you think we already missed the playoffs because we lost last week? Put your money where your mouth is then and bet me that we dont. I'm game for that.

fair point there too, "on the shots that Josh took deep yesterday that were incomplete, and not interefered with, so the other 5ish, were no where near their targets, and it wouldnt have mattered who the WRs were". There. Pick that one apart BANDIT! : )

I was only referring to this weeks deep ball problems, he wasnt even close...im not talking about all deep passes this year, my bad for not being specific

I dont care who he has to throw the ball to, wouldnt matter if Randy Moss or Jerry Rice were out there, they dont have a prayer at catching balls that are 15 yards past them...the issue isnt whos playing WR (on deep balls), its whos throwing them

Josh Allen had a problem with the deep ball last year too...2 for 24, he just isnt accurate deep...simple

same yo, just want Sunday to get here so I can stop worrying about it

They certainly might if the other game is Rams vs Niners - two playoff teams who play on the west coast. Makes sense.

but thats because the Browns went flashy and brought in star power baby !!!!
