Broncos @ Colts Second Half Open Thread

Posted Sun Sep 30th by

DEN @ IND

Broncos 20, Colts 28 (Third Quarter)

Travis Henry is sitting out and is questionable to return after a sprained ankle.

Check out Jonathan’s awesome live blogging via the comments, and leave one yourself! Let’s go Broncos, finish your drives and put them away!

    First play of the 2nd half: Our D-line got dominated on that first play. That’s embarassing. We can NOT have that kind of domination.

    Let’s get some offense going to match the Colts. Nice first down, let’s keep this drive going.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    3Q – 11:46: Indy TD. They made it look easy. :(

    Addai is over 100 yards now too. 13-21

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    3Q – 10:58: INT on Denver’s 24 yardline. Indy’s Marlin Jackson grabs a Cutler pass to give Manning another shot at the end zone… I screamed to loud I think I’ve damaged my thoat. :(

  • http://broncotalk.net kmonty

    Henry is being attended to… cross your fingers folks, this sounds scary…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    3Q – 8:55: Another TD by Manning and Company. 13-28

    Ok, we’re down by two Touchdowns. However, we need to get back to our game plan of clock control. Let’s get it done on the ground so it will open up Marshall and the gang after the Defense is worn down by Henry…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 6:33: Denver seems to be moving the ball well. Cutler seems to be calming down.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 4:50: Good Graham catch for a 1st down! :) Keep it going!

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    Oh boy. Henry hurt is bad.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    3Q – 3:50: Another BIG 3rd down…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 3:28: Stokley makes the catch and moves the chains!

  • http://broncotalk.net kmonty

    Red zone… time to put it in! Selvin Young at the two…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 2:13: Young gets to the 2 yard line…. come on guys!

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 1:10: Cutler sneak – TD! That’s the way we do it! Control the clock and run the ball. Now, let’s not blow the kick off coverage this time! 20-28

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q3 – 1:10: GREAT kick off coverage that time! :)

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 14:23: What happened? Addai is cutting through our line now. He’s up to +130 yards rushing for the game. We gotta stop that.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4: 13:52: Big 3rd and 3… Need a stop!

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 13:48: Clark just burnt us for 27 yards… :(

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 12:45: RB Keith replacing Addai (injured) breaking off long runs makes it to nearly the goal line…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 10:56: Wayne catches it for a TD. 20-35.

    Now, it’s time to unleash The Kid… We need at least 2 TD’s in ten minutes. Let’s roll.

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    We can’t get our defense off the field on 3rd down. :/

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 10:46: Henry’s back in and gains 12. However, Cutler seems like he might be hurt. He’s still in the game, but looks like his leg (maybe ankle) is bothering him.

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    But the offense can’t stay ON the field on 3rd down.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 8:40: Broncos are forced to punt. Colts are putting pressure on Cutler and it’s causing him to be slightly off.

    Todd’s kick is good and long (touchback). Manning will get it at the 20.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 8:40: If we want the win, the Defense HAS to make this a quick possession by Manning.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 7:43: Manning is moving the ball on us like he’s cutting butter. :(

  • Tyson

    its time to fire jim bates, and get a d cordinator who brings heat.

  • Tyson

    ian gold can go with bates too

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 5:35: Manning still keeping it alive. Indy is running and passing with almost no resistance from DEN.

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    It’s too early to fire Bates, and Gold has been a solid player for years.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 3:41: Indy has brought the running game back into balance as they now have 175 yards rushing vs Denver’s 199. Still on the move and now on Denver’s 9 yard line.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Odd that Bates BENCHED Gordon. I would have liked to see him in the rotation… Adams could stay on the bench however.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 2:34: FG makes it an 18 point lead. 20-38.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 2:03: Cutler and Young moving the ball.

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – 1:57: Cutler is hit by Freeney and the ball is knocked loose. Indy recovers.

  • Tyson

    gold has never been solid. he comes and goes depending on the game. he is the size of a small safety, that tries to tackle like he is 6 3 250

  • Tyson

    and if its too early to fire bates, then we may as well give up on this season, every team we have played has killed us running the ball. Shannahan signed players like rice, to win now. not wait for a few years to win

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    Q4 – Manning takes a knee three times and Denver is now 2-2. Not only that, but Henry limping off the field is not a good thing…

  • http://www.broncotalk.net Jonathan Douglas

    I definitely think it’s too early to fire Bates. I think most people don’t realize that replacing an entire Defensive coaching staff (or most of the key coaches anyway) and having those coaches change up the fundamental way that our team plays Defense will take some time to develop.

    With that said, we need to find a way to make that happen with in the next few games or we can kiss the playoffs good-bye for this year.

    I don’t want to do that, so I’m hoping we can man-handle SD like KC did this week.
