"We wanted to make sure it got to him, so every time he ran, we wanted to put a helmet or shoulder pad on him, and if he's not going to slide, then we're really going to put something on you," Ward said. "We've seen him limping throughout the game. That running stuff, you can't do that all game with your quarterback."

Yes, he refers to Cam as a runner but he still admits that the broncos first priority when can runs is to hurt him. 

If there are no fine for the broncos, as a team, or at least one of the coaches player safety is officially ended.

Nothing he said there was suspicious. Every defense wants to hit the QB as much as possible. It wasn't that they were hitting Cam, it's HOW they were hitting him. They were launching he let first targeting his head. That's like the single most frowned upon thing in football (supposedly) and they did it time and time and time again with no penalty.

"we wanted to put a helmet" is not suspicious? 

It is one thing to hit clean and hard enough to hurt, that is the game. Using your helmet as a weapon is not.

No, it's not. "Putting a helmet" or "putting a hat" on a guy is standard football talk. It isn't illegal to hit a guy with your helmet. It's illegal to target a guy's head and thats what the Broncos were doing all night long.

After that 3-person gang tackle that came well after Cam tossed the ball, the Broncos knew it was open season.  The players are told to play within the game.  They were playing within the game that the REFEREES ALLOWED.  How can you spite a team for that?  We didn't play with that aggression [however noble that may be], and we still almost pulled it out [who am I kidding, I'm surprised Gano was actually able to get it past the line of scrimmage].

Karma will comeback and bite them in the ass, their QBs are going to get it, hopefully its the same manner  as Denver's defense used to hit Cam in the helmet.

This is something I haven't seen posted but they clearly went low on Benjamin, not to tackle him as they didn't go for his feet, but to test his knee. I saw at least 4 instances where a Broncos defense attempted to take KB down by way of targeting his knee instead of trying to trip him up at his feet. 

I'm sure there will be gif's of it somewhere but that poo pissed me off as soon as I saw it.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
