It was about time the D stepped up!!! They have way to many big time players to play that poorly for that long. Hopefully this turns it around and they will be a Force if not top 3 AFC teams to beat. But my only question is when a RB will get 20 or even 15 carries in a game. I remember when the Broncos would get a lead and TD would come in and destroy team hopes with 5 yd run after 5 yd run…. I know I know we no longer have #30 but Selvin is ave a leauge best 5.7 ypc and Hall is not far behind with 4.5 ypc not to mention the beast pittman who wants to stop him behind that Denver O-line??? I love when Cutlers hit Marshall and Eddie but I love more when they have 2 score lead and dont let it slip away. Either way they are still gonna turn heads on their way to the playoffs!!!

It was a good win. I think the play of the D-line was the difference. Seemed like we were atacking more than reacting and that kept their offense off-balance. With the exception of the Bucks last drive, they seemed to get more pressure on the QB and everything else fell into place. On their last drive for a touchdown, the line looked tired and did not get much pressure and Tampa drove down the field a-la KC, NO, and SD; very familiar. The question I have is why now? Was it just attitude or are the defensive players just now getting the scheme (what, 3rd one in 3 years) and used to playing with each other? I sure hope the same guys show up next week. Same with the special teams coverage units. I’ll admit I did not see the whole game but from what I saw, that might be the best game from them in a long time.

No worries mikebirty, I recall Nates helmet falling off at least once!

that was a very satisfying win. As bad as the d were last week they were equally good this week. I thought EK was very good. He can’t be far off winning a starting job. All the d line finally came to the party. Better late than never. The linebackers were everywhere and the best compliment i can think of is that i don’t remember the safeties or champ having to make too many last ditch plays. Although the only down side was that Nate kept his helmet on.

Same again next week. I think the schedule has been pretty kind in the fact that we’ve got these two games next to each other given that they’re pretty similar teams. Here’s hoping for pretty similar performances!

Isn’t Jax playing IN denver?
Great game. It’s nice to see cutler throwing to the correct colored jerseys….for a minute there, I thought maybe he was color blind.
Hopefully young, ekuban, sheff (groins) & royal are a go for next weekend. They’ll be needed!

The defense certainly played well today…much improved. Now let’s just get the offense and defense to play well in the same game…just imagine what the scoreboard would look like…

Sold win. We still cant run the Prevent Defense but we should never have to. All in all I really liked what i saw. It just shows you that Marshal and Royal are not the only threats in the offense. I was a little bummed that it wasn’t a blow out, but I’ll take a win.

Hey Kyle
Just happy that Broncos won today. Even happier that San Diego lost

High ankle sprains can last longer than that…

DJack practiced this week. If Royal’s out, and this is totally preliminary but I imagine he will be, I expect #82 to suit up.
