I see that everyone keeps touting their offense and no mention of their defense.

They have: 7 picks, 7 sacks, and 4 fumble recoveries...

They stack the box, and have confused a legendary QB in Payton Manning.

I still ain't scared. We simply MUST start out fast, so that we can dictate the pace of this game and stay within our gameplan. If they get up on us, it will be hard to reintroduce Double Trouble and stick to the gameplan. Over the course of the game we must stick to the run, even when it seems to not work. If we ever needed a "fox ball" type of game, it's this one.

We gotta punch em in the mouth, and keep doing so, even if it's a few jabs in the first half. Eventually we will land that knockout haymaker! I look fwd to ChudGenius making a comeback and embarrassing one of the Leagues Top Defenses to get our season back on track!

People are giving Manning too much Credit now. He is old and in a new system with new players that are not as good as his old ones were. The Broncos have 8-8 team wrote all over them.

I think they took away the short throws and made Peyton try to beat them over the top. No arm strength and they picked him off.

Just my opinion though.

People are giving Manning too much Credit now. He is old and in a new system with new players that are not as good as his old ones were. The Broncos have 8-8 team wrote all over them.

i don't even think that manning is as good as he used to be. he's older, rusty, defenses have sped up and are now more used to dealing with pass heavy teams. he's just easier to defend. the fact that he's pretty immobile doesn't help him either. that guy is going to get killed before too long. he's got to be able to buy himself some time in the pocket and get away from pass rushes that have gotten a lot faster and more confusing. coverage schemes have also gotten more complex and creative as well.

it was only a year that he missed but it was probably the worst year to miss because defenses are better prepared to deal with a passer like him.

i also don't think that team is able to come into games nearly as prepared as his colts were.

i agree about the being 8-8 and a lot of it has to do with their schedule being so weak and being in the AFCW. on their schedule still they've got the chiefs twice, the raiders twice, the browns, the saints, and the bucs. they've also got the chargers but i think they'll struggle with that...maybe split. still, there's a lot of kind of easy teams on their schedule. i just can't see them winning against decent teams, tho. hopefully we are decent by the time we play them.

Difference is that we were respecting Manning and those receivers. I don't think we ever had more than 6 in the box. We can handle Lynch...Wilson and those receivers don't scare me.

Their defense is stout though...

Let focus on the Falcunts though

If by respect you mean we let them get 10+ yards on any catch they wanted, then yes we respected the poo out of em.

We did not guard them, however.

Fox has a Div that will always be weak and that's good for him because Fox ball works on bad teams.

We definitely have the talent to win and be a tough team in this league. Our coaches are just using the talent all wrong. I seriously hope they have made major schematic changes during this little bit of a break and we are a different team the rest of the season. A team that actually competes and gets some wins. The team that played the Giants wouldn't beat any team in the NFL.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
