Von Miller Wins AP Defensive Rookie of the Year

Saturday, February 4th, 2012
VON MILLER

Von Miller

Congrats to the Broncos Von Miller who beat out the 49ers Aldon Smith for the distinction of defensive rookie of the year. Miller finished the year with 64 tackles, 11 and a half sacks, 21 tackles for a loss and three forced fumbles. It’s too bad about his thumb getting all screwed late this year, it obviously affected him down the final stretch or he could have accomplished even more.

Broncos New Defensive Coordinator: Jack Del Rio

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Jack Del Rio, Broncos new DC

Per Lindsey Jones at the Denver Post.

Good signing. He probably won’t be here for long, but whatever. Hopefully two years. Maybe we can steal some promising young Jaguars like that DE Mincey or their SS Lowery. Before you say we’re set at DE, you can never have enough pass rushers and if we released “Jason Hunter” tomorrow there’s no guarantee a team even picks him up.

Broncos 10 Patriots 45, Denver Outmatched

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

Well it’s good that we got here, but you would have liked to put up a better fight than that debacle. Embarrassing that we gave up record after record. Figures though, just look at our safeties, my God they can all go except Quinton Carter. At least he is showing flashes of brilliance.

The team did have chances to keep the game close early, but fumbles, dropped passes and missed tackles killed them.

This game highlighted the needs of the Broncos going into 2012.

I will produce my yearly want list soon, but I’ll tell you right now: This team needs a big, fast running back  more than anything. More than any other position. It will have more impact than anything.

If a big, fast running back is available at pick 25? Do it.

Trade up if you have to. Or get one in the second round. Top priority should be running back. I’ve been seeing holes each week that should be exploited by someone with a better burst, by someone who can make one tackler miss and someone with home-run hitting ability. McGahee is fine, he’s fine as a second running back. 1,200 some yards, hard yards, but nobody fears his ability to take it to the house. We need a running back people fear, among other things.

Not going to single anyone out over this game, it was a team loss, but Mays, Ball, Willis, McBean, Bush, Moore and even Royal need to be replaced.

Broncos 7 Patriots 35 at the Half

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

It is what it is.

The Denver Broncos need five new starters on defense. Two defensive tackles, a middle linebacker and TWO safeties. Dawkins is probably gone, Quinton Carter can stay — and that’s it. I don’t want to see the rest. We should get at least one safety in free agency. Drafting safeties hasn’t worked out so well. Fifty one in the middle is outmatched and has been all year — nice interception drop too.

We need a fullback, a starting running back and a wide receiver (or two) who can catch. You see how our running game absolutely stalls when Mcgahee isn’t in there? He’s good for a couple carries once in a while and that’s that. Don’t want to see that next year. We need a young, strong running back that teams must fear. We’ve also got 88 at receiver and who else? Eddie Royal shouldn’t even be here next year. Doesn’t do enough.

Team has a lot of needs, we are outmatched out there today. The good news is this team can get a lot better on both sides of the ball and quickly if we make the right moves. Right now, a true number one running back is a priority for this team.

Tebow Haters Ship of Fools has Sailed

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

tebow haters

Look at them sea cukes.

He can’t play, he can’t throw.

Cue Brady Quinn…

Tebow is the starter in 2012, should have been anyways based on the overall body of work.

Last week you got that Stink still spewing a bunch of turd: “Tebow won’t be playing in the league next year.”

Stink, Stank, Stunk… See ya buddy.

And you know something?

I won’t touch the tackles from back then, but a guard? The Super Bowl Broncos would have been just fine with David Diaz-Infante in there buddy. And that’s the truth.

We don’t need ya, and we never did Stink.

Your failing tact is a black spot on the Broncos organization, and your rooting against the Broncos to prove some inane point of yours is a disgrace.

Dan Marino before the game: The Broncos won’t score a touchdown.

Tom Jackson last week: How can you continue with a QB who can’t throw the ball.

Absolutely inane comments being drummed up last week about Brady Quinn too. Some joke that was. Who are you gonna believe? The Denver Post Dummies, Ed Werder and Jay Glazer? The extreme tact of P.P.? The eyewitness report from Phil Simms? Or these sea cucumbers out there spouting a bunch of crap.

And shame, shame on Woody Paige.

“Put in Quinn on some passing plays…”

Outrageous. Way to have some faith there Woodrow.

You’ll notice Peter King up there too. Oh yeah, he says good things about the Broncos — when they’re winning. Old Petey King predicted the week 11 Jets game would be Tebow’s last and John Fox would go into next year realizing ” at least he has a Wildcat QB on the roster. ”

You hear the latest from the haters, eh? Even in the face of this big playoff win they’re crying about Tebow completing less than fifty percent of his passes. Talk about grasping at dingleberries.

Want a QB who completes over fifty percent? I hear Kyle Orton is a free agent. We can bring him back in to lose twelve games, make our offense completely ordinary and yet we can all smile about his over fifty percent completion rating.

Maybe he’ll even break a record and throw the ball to Thomas twenty four times in a game.

These people don’t deserve to be heard any more. The ship of fools has sailed. See ya. I’m done with you Stink, Alfred, Legwold, Carter and their erroneous miscreant-laden ilk. Good for Klis to start telling it like it is (finally) and Elway to start acting intelligent about the whole deal.

It was a good performance from Tebow and Demaryius Thomas last Sunday. Thomas became a man, I saw potential in him the first time he took to the field and I’m glad he’s coming around to playing like a first rounder.

Who the hell was that Bush player anyways? Didn’t do too badly. You see, I ain’t ever gonna jump up and down to draft a corner in the first round. No, the way I see it the Broncos should move up in the first round to get either a middle linebacker or running back.

If the next Al Wilson is sitting there at 15, let’s go get him. Sorry, Joe Mays is over matched. People talk up our defense, but I’ll tell you we can get much better with a middle linebacker and another defensive tackle. Quinton Carter had a good game, good interception and made some good tackles.

I don’t want to hear any more snide comments from Willis McGahee or other Broncos players. Good for Skip Bayless for telling it like it is on that one. Don’t want to hear it, especially not after that performance McGahee. The kid even bailed you out, didn’t he now? Unbelievable these people who just don’t understand Tebow’s big effect on the running game, regardless of his passing. No way does McGahee have all that yardage with Orton or Quinn starting over center and that’s a fact.

People talk about us running the football, first in the league. Well we can get better there too. I’m not hip to Willis McGahee being “the guy” he’s good and I respect him but he needs to be our number two. I want a big-time running back. I want a younger more explosive Willis McGahee starting. Holy hell the kid could go over 1,500 yards and break some of them runs for touchdowns. We can be much better running the football.

I don’t want to hear about drafting a QB in the second round either. This team needs to build on what we have going right now, we need new bodies starting day one and I want to see the first and second round picks helping this team do what it did yesterday: Run the ball, play defense and make big plays throwing down the field.

I don’t care if the Broncos go up there to New England and get blown out. Doesn’t really matter. They’ve done enough. This season has already been validated, the quarterback position has also been validated for 2012. How could we expect this after 4 and 12, 1 and 4?

I give the Broncos a 20 percent chance next week. That’s a lot more than most would give I’m sure. The Patriots came into Denver jacked, they played that game like a playoff game and without those three brain fart turnovers the Broncos may have had a lead a the half.

If it’s tied or we’re leading at halftime, we have a shot. I don’t trust our defense against the Patriots offense. I don’t trust the Patriots defense against the Broncos offense either.

 

Sea Cucumbers and Facsimiles Thereof

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

I’ve been hearing a lot of sea cucumbers out there gurgling the same raw sewage crap.

Oh we better put in Brady Quinn cause Tebow’s stinking up the place.

These people have no clue. It’s not only the fact that Quinn is a poor man’s Kyle Orton, no it’s more than that.

Put in Quinn and our running game SUCKS.

These people hammering Tebow, claiming he has “nothing or little to do” with getting to the playoffs are on the level of sea cucumbers.

A big part of why Willis McGahee is running for 145 yards in these games is the threat of Tebow bouncing a 20 yard run to the outside.

Ain’t that the truth.

But oh no, Brady Quinn could have led the team to the playoffs. Brady Quinn could have mounted those fourth quarter comebacks.

Never mind Brady Quinn’s never shown he can do anything like that.

You want to look to a new Broncos quarterback? Look to the one we draft this year between rounds two and five. Leave the Brady Quinn championing to morons like that Jeff Legwold at the Denver Compost.

Yeah, Tebow’s sucked the last two games but so have a lot of other Broncos. I hear people getting upset over Tebow not finding Eric Decker the “two times” he was open.

Two freaking times.

I’ll tell you, losing Brandon Lloyd was huge. Losing Jabar Gaffney in a trade for nothing was big too.

Open two times? How about fourteen times like Jabar Gaffney when he took over for Brandon Marshall against the Chiefs in 2009?

How about that Kyle Orton eh? Oh he was something special wasn’t he last week. Yeah he was absolute turd without Dwayne Bowe.

Turd.

With a capital ” T. ”

What’s Orton without All Pro, go-to receiver Bowe, eh? I’ll tell you what: Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt…

Our passing offense was Orton to Marshall, Orton to Lloyd. Teams started double teaming Lloyd during our incredible 1-4 stretch with Kyle Orton and he still forced the ball to Lloyd.

Tells you something about the other guys, don’t it.

The Denver Broncos do not, I repeat do not have a single go-to receiver.

Look around the league, every good QB has at least one. One of those guys who makes all the tough catches, keeps his feet in bounds — you know, all the things our guys struggle with.

Maybe Demaryius Thomas can be that guy. Maybe.

But for now, we don’t have one and we’re sorely missing one.

In the big picture, TimTebow deserves a full offseason and his shot at starting all 16 games next year. He’s earned it.

There’s enough there, there’s enough flashes he’s shown to warrant that and for crying out loud look at what he’s done for our running game.

You put Brady Quinn in there and our running game will come down to earth. We will get smashed by teams straight lining it up and coming right for Willis McGahee. No mobile QB to worry about running round end for 20 anymore, that’s for damn sure.

Some of these goobers have no idea what this Tebow is doing for our running game, even if he doesn’t carry the ball for a hundred yards in a game–the mere threat of him running outside creates a hesitation in the defenders that our running backs have been exploiting. Option or not, take away that mobile QB and the defenses change to our detriment.

That’s why I want to see this team with a more dynamic, younger Willis McGahee running the ball. Hell, you see how many times McGahee had one man to beat out there? Since when is he known to be a ten yard per carry back? Someone younger, faster and more dynamic may be breaking these.

There’s enough there overall to build on, and in the near term this team has issues beyond that of quarterback.

About this Steelers game,  I better not see a bunch of them piss yellow terrible towels being twirled around. What a disgrace, it’s bad enough we have a bunch of goobers desperately clamoring for Brady Quinn to win the Super Bowl for us.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Broncos win this game. It wouldn’t, not if it’s a 16 to 13 ugly debacle like the Broncos and Steelers have been getting themselves into lately. Could be an ugly game riddled with mistakes on both sides, but I also wouldn’t doubt the Broncos get beat 21 to 6 either.

I will say this: If I’m the Broncos defensive backs coach, I’d have them catching balls all week long from a machine spitting them out at John Elway speeds.

One thing I’ve noticed about Big Ben, he throws a lot of picks in the playoffs. Well, not really actually, the other teams drop so many of them it’s unreal. How many did the Broncos drop in that AFC championship game? Four? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Broncos 3 Chiefs 7 Tebow Sucked*

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

John Fox Broncos

Yes Tebow sucked, but on a lot of those downs what more can you ask? The Denver offense is a double whammy of suckage: The way Tebow is playing right now and the *conservative-to-a-fault playcalling. Horrible. That’s how you call a playoff game there Fox and McCoy? What a joke. Take some chances for crying out loud.

At least the defense showed up. At least Willis McGahee showed up.

The silver lining is the Broncos are in the playoffs for the first time in years. At least they managed to get there.

They’re gonna pile on Teebs this week, and rightly so, but remember: Making the playoffs has a lot to do with Tim Tebow leading us to wins earlier this year in division games.

Von Miller = non-entity.

It boggles the mind that we can’t call any short passes.

This gameplan better change in the playoffs. Let it rip more, more short passes. Maybe this ship of fools can get lucky against a hobbled Big Ben.

Denver Broncos: A Tale of Late Season Woe

Friday, December 30th, 2011
Denver Broncos Playoffs Tim Tebow

Denver Broncos Late Season Nightmares

Well it looks like that Horvil Tiki has gone off the deep end, serves him right. He’s making absolutely no sense (not that he ever did). The losses in the ass end of the season (yet again) probably got to him.

I suppose I could outline all the flaws about last weeks game. Talk about our offensive coordinator who thinks a seven point lead in the first quarter warrants running the ball up the middle on first, second and third down (I guess this guy thinks we are a power running team.) How Tim Tebow sucked, how our defense sucked and has been sucking the last three games. How our pass rush was non-existent yadda yadda, whatever.

It all goes away if the Broncos win this Sunday.

Whether it’s by one point or twenty, win and all the BS from the last couple games goes away.

Lose and the Broncos and Tim Tebow will hear about it ALL YEAR LONG.

Are you confident about this team winning against Kansas City this Sunday?

I ain’t.

Not with what I’m seeing out there. The Keystone Cops defense has returned. The only thing that gives me hope is KC’s RB Battle is out and Kyle Orton is immobile. The way these opposing quarterbacks have been running for first downs on us is an absolute joke. Reminds me of the 2009 season when Donovan McNabb ran for twenty one yards on a third and twenty late in the game. This defense looks worn down and our quarterback running around like a chicken with its head cut off sure as hell ain’t helping anything.

That said, I’m not too worried about Tebow. He seems to play well in big games and against division rivals. He could have a great game Sunday and you know what? We could still lose.

I believe this game boils down to the Denver Broncos defense and it’s ability to pressure Kyle Orton. I’ve heard some pretty moronic things this week from Denver Post journalists and others about Kyle Orton. They talk about him like he’s Johnny Unitas out there, while in reality there’s absolutely no telling whether he’ll even be a Chief next year–that’s how amazing he is. We all know how limited he is and how he plays under pressure. We all know about his mobility on par with a one legged goat.

A one legged goat. Probably worse legs than Matt Cassel and we all know what our defense did to him in November. Well, a defense that wasn’t worn down like it is now. Unbelievable.

Pressure Kyle Orton, get to him and this game is won. Go get him. We got the Chiefs QB before, time to man up and get him again. Fail this and it’s down the river on a $^%thouse door, baby.

The Broncos should win this game — on paper. On paper we’re a better team than the Chiefs and they are limited on offense with Kyle Orton, Dwayne Bowe and McCluster. We should have an answer for each of these players, the key term is should. I’m not confident at all the way our team is playing, how could you be based on the past couple performances?

In recent years, the Broncos late season woes have been inexcusable. Look at the Infographic here, unbelievable suckage in the ass-end of the season.

Mike Shanahan and Jay “Huckdort” Cutler couldn’t do it.

Josh McDaniels and Kyle “Cuckooman” Orton couldn’t do it.

Can John Fox and Timmy Teebs do it? We’ll learn a lot about Fox and Tebow in this game. Can Fox motivate this team to show up? Can Tebow lead the offense to the playoffs?

I better see fires lit under asses. I better see us up by twenty one points in the first half. It better go down like that.

I’ll tell you what: I ain’t going down with this ship. Fail this task and it’s going to be trouble.

I’ll tell you something Tim Tebow, maybe God doesn’t care if the Broncos lose.

But P.P. Dublinski sure as hell does.

I better not get disrespected this Sunday. Better come to play. Don’t you dare embarrass me.

For I am the Dark Ninja of the Depths. I am the Catalyst. I have wisdom upon my brow and in my right hand is strength.

In my left hand is vengeance.

I am the Catalyst and Pat Bowlen surely reads the iron truths of P.P. Dublinski.

I heralded the s%^tcanning of Shanhan — but that was easy.

I proclaimed the demise of Jay “Huckdort” Cutler months before it happened. Months before anyone even imagined such a thing. I knew he didn’t look right, didn’t protect the ball. Go google Huckdort, go gaze at that incredible image search. My iron truths on display for all to see.

And yes, Josh McDaniels did ultimately fail the Broncos is many ways — but I still believe his time will come elsewhere and he is responsible for tossing Brandon Marshall, Tony Scheffler and that gooned out Huckdort. You can add Peyton Hillis to that list — something ain’t right with him and his attitude.

He canned these Shanahan era prima donna losers and I and everyone else should be thankful for it.

I heralded the demise of Brandon Marshall, I knew he was gone while others were enthralled with the coach’s “hug” and figured he’d surely come back. Pay him fifty million plus — what a laugh.

The very next day after I turned on McDaniels he was fired. Bowlen figured P.P. turned and that is all.

This team gets into the playoffs and that is a win in and of itself. Don’t matter if we lost 50-3 to the Steelers or whoever. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. Know them by their strange, malformed logic and puerile acuity on the level of a gelatinous sea cucumber or facsimile thereof.

My power and countenance is not to be trifled with. Don’t you dare disrespect me out there.

I better see fires lit under asses and I better see a real football team out there.

Fail this and it will be one hell of a long offseason.
