Hey Guys!
I was going to wait until you won a game to pick a week to come back after serving my bet time out that I lost with the mouthbreather but you kept losing and it is rivalry week so I thought I would stop in and say hi. I didn't want you to think I waited until you lost before I came back.
Must have hurt to lose after being up 17-3 at home but that happens all the time in the playoffs so you must be used to it.
Not sure Flaccid can keep us in the game unless we feed Lindsay and Freeman a lot.
I expected some growing pains with a new 60 year old virgin head coach but didn't expect his D to be so bad in the 1st 4 games. I get that beating a bad SD team isn't all that much after what Pitt did to them with a 3rd string QB but the Broncos didn't roll over on Vic the way the chuggers seem to be doing for Lynn. Loved the way the D stuffed the run against Henry, got a starting QB benched, 7 sacks, and 3 INT's. Imagine if your D could do half that! LOL
I am kind of mad that it took injuries to get Alexander Johnson on the field. I wish we had Chubb for Thursday but Reed has been playing better than I expected for a 3rd string OLB, hell Reed has as many sacks as Frank Clark in less games. I love how Purcell has been playing as well and then there is Demarcus Walker who played well enough to get Gotsis benched. If Purcell can take on the Hicks roll I like our chances down the stretch and even more so next year when we get Chubb back.
On the back end Dawson and DeVonte Harris have been playing well enough to keep Yiadom on the bench. It would be nice to get Callahan on the field some time this year saw an article somewhere that if the non surgical procedure works Thursday night could be his last game he misses but I think that is a very long shot. Jackson has been playing well at safety, a huge reason they were able to stuff Henry Sunday. I hope the D can continue to get off their blocks the way they have the last 2 games and get to mmmHommemees before he can set up to throw deep or do his feint one way then turn the other while keeping his eyes downfield knowing he can out run an OLB or DE to the sideline. We have zero depth at CB or OLB but you guys have your own problems on your OL.
Your O is clearly better than our's, at least at passing but Flaccid has made at least one 40 yard pass the last 3 or 4 weeks, we need one of those every quarter Thursday night.
I am not a Flaccid fan but he has been a huge upgrade over Keenuts at QB, the OL was something I expected to be better with Munchak as the line coach, that took 3-4 games to fix as well though Leary continues to be the weak link in the line and we are starting a backup at RT. Can't wait to see Leary hit the road after this year. Risner has been a stud and a great pick by John. Bolles is coming along, he won't ever be a HOF LT but he was an upgrade over what we had since Clady.
John really hit the ball out of the park with the way he ran the draft this year despite the struggles Fant has had. To trade back, get a position of need at TE, then get Risner AND Lock back to back was well played. I think they expected Fant to come in and play like a 5 year vet, he is a rook who wasn't asked to do what Scabs (our OC who I hate) is asking him to do. I also hate that Scabs is asking a small WR to pull and trap block guys in the run game. Our HS team runs the same type of play bringing a WR in motion to block in the run game. Hamilton is not a run blocker. I wish they would put IRman in at TE to start games and give Fant easy stuff to do to get him confidence.
I expect you guys to win soundly but hope for a competitive game. I worry about our 2nd half adjustments, Scabby and Vic haven't figured that out, nor have they figured out how to manage a 2 minute drill but maybe this is the week...
Anywho, I know most of you don't care but over the summer I had a lumbar fusion for a problem I have been dealing with for 9 years, been busy doing PT all summer and near the end of that. I am much stronger now and can walk further, stand and sit longer with less pain. Not 100% but they said getting all the muscle fascia broken up is going to take a very long time. It is nice to be working more too. Haven't had much time for the Mange either but look forward to having some fun here when I can.
Best of luck to you guys but GO BRONCOS!
