I watched that game and it wasn't as close as the score suggested. The Chiefs dominated that whole game (as much as the Chiefs can), even though they didn't score much until late.
L. Johnson had 28 carries for 198 yards, his 1 long run was for 65. He had another for 34 and his next longest was for 16; that leaves 27 carries for 133 yards, or 4.9 yards per carry average. Doesn't exactly look like he was held in check.
Are you serious?! Won't lose to the Bucs?! Yes, I do have my crystal ball out :rollseye:
The Bucs are going to shut down the Broncos offense. They've got a great defense and they've got enough offense to keep them ahead. The Broncos have nothing but offense, so they're toast if they can't get it going. The Broncos have no defense and Griese is going to pass the ball all over the field, he might not throw it 67 times like a couple games ago, but they can shut them down. They put up 27 on the Bears, who have an exponentially better defense than Denver and 30 on Green Bay, who has a better D than denver. The Bucs are better than you think with Griese back there; he might not be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, but he's very reliable and can make big plays when necessary.
You might want to stop being such a homer because when the Chargers win the division, you'll catch a lot of crap for talking about how great the Denver team was. Not saying they're not good, because they're going to be really good in a couple years, but they won't win the division unless injuries plague the Chargers' main players (LT, Gates, Rivers).
LB Andre Frazier, I think was his name. He had a spine injury, but was moving his arms and legs right after it happened. They said he was up in the locker room walking around and joking with his teammates after the game. Good to hear that it wasn't serious.
On a side note, do you think the Steelers might try to bring Shaun Alexander in for a workout now that they're getting low on rb's? Willie Parker will be back soon, of course, but they won't have their #2 guy. I think it might be a good idea to bring him in to backup Parker and keep some experienced depth at rb for a year with the way injuries are going this year.
The score does not always tell the tale of who is dominating who.
You are a true homer, what you say is gold and when anyone else questions you they are inept and don't understand anything about football. Just accept the fact that your Broncos are not the 07 patriots which you made them out to be after 1 game VS the Raiders.

Ohh no? You were only comparing Cutler to the top QB's in the league after week 1. Naa thats not saying how great your team is. Do we really need to go back and quote your first rant on the bronco's after the first game. What a joke of a post that was. I was not even talking the patriots up to that extent last season after they ran the table on the regular season
Yeah, I guess you're right.. the 10th ranked defense, which is also tied with the league lead in interceptions with 8, isn't that good. Definitely not as good as the 29th ranked defense that Denver has.
Denver is ranked 31st in pass yards allowed, they're going to get passed all over. They're 24th in rush yards allowed and 30th in total yards allowed. Yeah, they'll hold the Bucs in check.
Tampa isn't the greatest offensive team, but they're still 9th in rushing yards and passing yards per game, 7th in total yards per game and 13th in points per game at 25.2. Two of those games were against two of the better defenses in the league, much better than what they'll face sunday.
Denver better hope they put up points early and often. So what if i'm wrong, I just don't think the Broncos can beat the Bucs.. big deal, don't get so bent out of shape over everything.
And yes, you have talked about how great they are. As in, "Cutler has the best arm in the NFL.. we have the best WR corps in the NFL.. etc etc.." You didn't say the exact words, but your homerisms were implying it. Not saying the Broncos are bad, but there are teams out there that are better for now.

Exactly my point. KC was winning the battles in the "trenches" they were dominating the offensive and defensive lines. They were constantly getting a good push on the Denver D-line and getting good yardage for LJ nearly everytime he touched the ball. Division games are much more physical, but they still shouldn't have allowed LJ to do that much against them. They better fix that before they play SD again or LT will run rampid.
I'd put them in the Top 5 at least for now, until somebody comes along and beats them. I think they're going to be a really good team all year long and for years to come. They'll probably win the division if New England doesn't pull a 180 and get everything turned around.
Gotcha. Making the playoffs would be a big step in the right direction though; get some experience under all of those guys belts. They're a very young team, aren't they?
I think they'll beat the Pats once, but i'm not sure about the Chargers. I think they can handle the Jets both times, unless they just have a bad game. I'd say 11-5 or 12-4 is very realistic for them.
I brought both team's defenses into the discussion because I think the Bucs D will be able to hold the Denver offense down, while the Denver D won't be able to hold them Bucs down as much. I was stating that I think the Bucs will have some decent success against Denver on offense since they had success against their previous opponents.
San Diego has the #1 offense in the NFL as of right now, but the Raiders offense is still very much a work in progress; I wouldn't say they're better on offense than the Bucs, they might have more talent but they're not as good right now. There's just no way anyone can seriously think that the Raiders offense is better than the Bucs.
It never hurt the Pats in the regular season last year... but we didn't perform up to par in the SB and then started out #1 this year and lost Brady
Yeah I will believe that when I see it.. this core group dallas team has not even won a playoff game, please don't compare that with this core group pats team that has gone 14-3 in post season play and won 3 Sb's... sure they blew it last year but NE in this decade is here and
keep looking down..
a little more
the cowboys this decade are about right here
Who has come along in such a short time.. it's brady/peyton
to continue with this theme........
everybody else down here
