OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies etc…Part VII

[sethro109]

Not a good night overall for Nix, but he did have two great drives. All rookies struggle in the playoffs, I hope not too many people forget that, if we get there. Only 12 rookies in the history of the NFL has ever won their first playoff game and only 3 have won their first two (Flacco, Sanchez(lol) and Purdy) and none have won 3.

Just making the playoffs is massive for this dead cap space team

 

[Pokecheque]

Wow what a crazy-ass game.

 

[bl02]

We lose all these close games the last two years

 

[BobRossColton]

Nah that's a hard catch for a wr let alone a db

I think if he'd had another half step, but then barton wouldn't have got one ha

Fair point but I think those are on poor play calling by Payton. Both coordinators had poor play calls but a few guys stepped up to save the win. Would have really sucked going into a bye with a loss. And wow that was the ultimate Winston game, I mean if you suck might as well be fun to watch.

That was legit fun game. Both teams had good and bad. But it was entertaining as f***. Did not have 29 making the game winning pick 6 on the bingo card after him getting torched for 200+ yards the rest of the night.

 

[Bonzai12]

Our roster depth is atrocious and we are gonna get exposed for it in the playoffs but this team is fun

McMillan #29 wasn't the guy getting torched. That was Wallace #39.

 

[bl02]

McMillan made some huge plays tonight (not just the big pick).
Amazing. Beat the Colts and this team is in the playoffs.

 

[BobRossColton]

So in a perfect scenario who would be the ideal playoff opponent?

Houston?

Right now we're playing the Bills. That would be the biggest nightmare scenario other than the Raven again. I'd like to face the chargers, but I don't think that's possible. The Steelers have TJ Watt, and he abused us last time..... The Texans might be the path of least resistance for us.

Best we can hope for probably is the Steelers. Tough game but more winnable than Bills or Ravens. I guess Chiefs would be a good matchup for us but who are we kidding, no one is beating them and the refs in the first round with how much ratings they drive.

Yeah I was thinking chargers too, how about best upset? Bills or revenge against Ravens?

There is no way to play Chargers round 1 unless the Chiefs implode. Then again if Chiefs lost the games they should have lost it could happen. Actually I think Chargers are tougher team to beat but we could hold out hope they Charger it again. To me the best matchup for the Broncos is a team without a mobile QB who will run for firsts one third down. Unfortunately all the top teams in the AFC have one except the Steelers.

If we played the Ravens again and somehow won, that would be huge. We'd have our revenge not only for this regular season, but since their a Lombardi favorite, it would be revenge for 2013 as well.

I wonder what Ernest Byner is up to tonight.

 

[chet1926]

McMillan #29 wasn't the guy getting torched. That was Wallace #39.

That's fair, I had few too many adult beverages and got confused.

 

[Hasbro]

That's two drops by Njoku tonight. He'd fit right in here, next year.

Pretty meh TE free agent class. Would rather use the 1st on Colston Loveland from Michigan or Tyler Warren out of Ped State.

I'd be pretty confident in Trautman as a 2nd TE.

BTW how do you get a good quality Broncos jersey? I thought NHL jerseys were bad but the NFL ones are horrendous in quality. $200 for basically a Tshirt with a screenprinted name and number.

every once in a while I have found some decent ones at Target. Not the "official" kind but pretty close.

 

[The Merchant]

Absolute loser behavior to post this after your team took an L

True but he was also pretty bad in coverage on several plays as well...
