You guys all seem as focused on yesterday's game as all the Broncos fans are at BroncosFreak. Both games did have great finishes, although you were probably a lot happier with yours than we were.
I'll be here on and off through the week. You are welcome to join us over at BroncosFreak (http://www.broncosfreak.com) as well...
I've only seen a little bit of the Eagles this season. What should we expect out of them this game?
Why couldn't the Broncos win yesterday?! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
The Eagles will run the ball no more than fifteen times and pass a minimum of forty. Expect to see a lot of three and outs (hopefully by both teams).
Hopefully, a working, balanced offense. :boom

What should we expect out of them this game?
My answer depends on whether or not you have any influence in the Broncos scouting department...
If so... Expect the Eagles to run the ball early and often.
The Eagles will go after Denver with a very "Steeler-like" running attack. :paranoid
What to expect?
64 passes
3 runs (all kneel downs at the end of the game)
I'm telling you....Reid wants to be the first HC to ever throw every single play in a game.
I just hope none of your dirty OL break any bones of our DL.
But farg up Trotter all you want. :)
Blasphemy!
You're going down, G_Fail!
Bring it tough guy.
Next tailgate....I'll cut you and fracture a fibula and not spill a drop of beer in the process.
Beat that!
No radio show for you.
Sorry.
I'm still drunk. It's the liquor talking...I swear. :D

Welcome. Hope you have thick skin, Cowboy.
Quote from: BroncosFreak on October 24, 2005, 05:11:05 PMWhat should we expect out of them this game?
this much is predictable:
15 runs, tops.
45 to 55 passes. (Ludicrous as it is, you can count on 15 of these attempts to be play action).
Horrible clock management.
depending which team shows up:
NFL-Best-Defense or Giants-caliber-Defense
All-NFL-Offense or All-Suck-Offense
All-Suck-Special Teams or Lucky-All-Suck-Special Teams
Count on the Philly fans being cheerful and optimistic.
You know what, let me say this again because it bears repeating:
Horrible clock management.
Actually the clock management is fine.
The problem is getting the plays in on time.
All 3 t/o's in the 1st half were the result of the retarded system that Reid/Childress/Morningwood use.
On one play you can see McNabb gesture directly at Reid and say "come on" after he had to burn another one.
If they have a timeout there, its a great drive to finish out the half.
Expect a Hicks false start, a Tra Thomas 'pointing to the sky' before the 1st series followed by a false start by him too. Count on 2 runs by Westbrook where he runs right in the back of our C and dances horizontally -almost the entire field- before falling down and getting a 1 yard loss. Expect our #1 TE L.J. to either lose a fumble or come close to it. Expect our FB to drop a pass. And some horrible over the head throws by Don. Hopefully we'll have 11 men on the field 100% of the time and our WR's will be on the LOS when need be (No illegal formations please). And at least 2 burned TO's. At the most 15 runs - but if you stop the first 5, we won't run the rest of the game. Expect at least 40 passes. Even on 4th and 1. :)
Otherwise than that, we are pretty much flawless.
Make that two burned TOs per half and you've got it all.

OK, so for real. What are we looking at this week? Is this the same old Broncos team that is tough at home but completely beatable? A ten win team with no shot in the playoffs? Or are they more legit this year? I've onyl seen them in two games this year (vs. the Pats and vs. the Giants) and in both they looked like two completely different teams in the first and second half. Somebody give me some insight because frankly I've got none.
their defense is for real...i dont see the birds moving the ball at all on them...but they do have jake plummer who is a complete bum and if they can force him into some of his patented bonehead turnovers they could pull this out...i dont see it though

And that's just one of the more egregious examples of bad clock management. Donovan regularly doesn't get the play until so late that he's got no more than 4-5 seconds at the line before the snap. How many times have we seen him call premature time-outs because he doesn't have time to make adjustments to the D? Or because the line isn't set? That's bad coaching, pure and simple, and it's galling.

Of course, you're 0 for 2 on games that they have no chance of winning (@KC, SD). Just saying.........
I also think it'll be a tough one to win. :-[
I have to admit that the San Diego win was a complete fluke. How many times does a team block a FG, let alone block a FG with 10 men on the field AND return it for a TD?
The KC game was an exciting win but it took a ridiculous game from McNabb to barely pull it out.
In other words IGY may be 0-2, but his general points were correct. Those teams were in position to beat the Eagles soundly and didn't finish the job.
Quote from: rjs246 on October 25, 2005, 09:46:18 AM

Wouldn't that be the difference between being winners and losers, bro? Winners pull those victories out of their asses. Losers don't.
Lousy clock management or not, this team has won games like this regularly during the past five seasons, and that's the mark of a winning team and a winning head coach.
I'm not arguing with that point. Obviously winners find ways to win. Losers find ways to lose. I'm merely pointing out that IGY thinking those games would be losses isn't something that should be held against him.
His outrageous claims and other assorted nonsense should be held against him, but not his thought that the Eagles would lose those two games.
Well I for one hope he picks against us for the rest of the season. ;D

#1 i never said they had no chance of winning...i said that i thought both would be losses...kc i was dead wrong i dont care what kind of lead they had the eagles beat them...sd as rjs said lost a game in a way that no team in the history of the elague has lost...a 4th quarter game winning blocked fg td has NEVER happened
#3 nor am i saying they cant beat denver...but i believe they only win if jake implodes...if he doesnt i dont see the eagles getting more than 10 pts
#3 i picked the eagles vs dallas...perhaps my picks suck in general but to single out those two games (sd &kc) as if i always pick against the eagles just because....is wrong

Quote..sd as rjs said lost a game in a way that no team in the history of the elague has lost...a 4th quarter game winning blocked fg td has NEVER happened
and i call bullshtein on that one. the 2001 AFC Championship game. New England (vs Pisstburgh) scored on a punt return, and then a blocked field goal return (on succesive drives in the 3rd qtr, i think) which turned out to be the winning score.

right...like it is relevant exactly when it happens. it was still a game winner. in the playoffs no less.
nevermind dook...you missed the point
i did not miss the point. i just thought the point sucked.
and was innaccurate to boot.
the pats took the lead for good then they did that to the steelers in the AFCCG. you want to quantify something by saying "only in the 4th quarter" go ahead. but it still happened.
the patriots were up the whole game...21-3 late in the third...not even close to the same thing...and again it DID NOT happen in the fourth quarter...thus...
a 4th quarter game winning blocked fg td has NEVER happened
im not even sure what youre arguing here
I don't think their defense is for real. Sooner than later it will begin to be exposed. I just hope it's this sunday.
The only time I saw the Broncos this season was against Miami in week one - and they were horrible. They seem to have improved since then, though, so I don't like our chances. The offense just stinks at the moment.

Let me reiterate,
picks against his team!And you have nerve enough to say I'm not as much of a fan as you are.

Can I ask you what you base that statement on? I think that we will have trouble with your offence, but it is a predictable O that you play. Can I ask why you aren't running the ball more? I realize that C Buck is on the IR but Westbrook is a great running back! It's like you are wasting his talent.

You're going to regret asking that... prepare for several long-winded and rambling posts with points that could have been expressed in a single sentence, or sometimes, a single word. That's how he do.
Basically, all thoughts are pulled directly from his ass.
If Eli can drive down the field and score a game winning TD against the Horsies...I'm sure the Eagles will be able to move the ball. I think they may surprize the NFL this week and run the ball more since 'the air is thin' in Denver...

Who was luckier to win last week, the Giants, or the Eagles?
The Broncos have had the tendency to get a big lead and then hold their breath. Everyone knows the strengths and weaknesses of Jake Plummer -- he needs to play under control and not have to do to much. And Shannahan has tried to devise a game plan that utilizes big plays and a consistent running game to get a lead; and then let the defense hold the game. This has made us much too conservative on offense in the fourth quarter. But we're 5-2.
The Eagles will have much more trouble on the road this week. Last week's win was a fluke. San Diego had them behind the 8 ball. Philly fans were walking out on their beloved team.
We'll be ready for you. We need a win to go in to our bye week 6-2.

the denver defense is pretty damn good...lets not get into semantics about how good and leave it at that because you dont have to be great these days to stop the birds offense
the eagles i think will neutralize their running game
thus the game comes down to how plummer plays and specifically if he turns the ball over or not
if he plays well the broncos win easily 24 or 27-10...if he plays like the dog that he often is then the birds have a shot

I'm sure Hollis will be completely effective in the thin air for the whole game.
10 points would be no different from the Chargers. We only scored 13 offensive points on them, so if the Broncos hold us to 10, then it's because our offense is still playing like shtein and not a tribute to their defense.
Their defense has speed, and I think we could take advantage of it if we play physical football, and get a balanced offense going. I think our offensive line could manhandle their defense line.

I think that this game comes down to a field goal. I agree that the Eagles will be able to slow down Denver's running game, but with Anderson and Bell I don't think they will completely stop it. You're going to see a lot of bootlegs, playaction passes and some screen passes to KJ and Anderson. Plummer is playing a lot smarter than last year and not throwing up the ducks he used to. It should be an interesting game.

i expect the offense to play like shtein...which is why i said it doesnt matter how good their d is but that its definitely good enough to stop the eagles offense...which is why i also said the only chance they have is if plummer turns it over and gives the birds some short fields from which to work...and if plummer in general plays zesty because if he plays well the broncos will put to many points on the board for the eagles to match
it would be much more believeable if he wasn't removing the quote tags and adding bold tags.

Then bury them in shallow graves.
And then pee on them.
Maybe drop a cabbie on them as well.
Take the source for what it's worth but it looks like Carswell might be seriously farged up. (http://boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/index.php?showtopic=296744)

Summary: Carswell was in a mulitple-car accident, taken to the hospital with rather severe injuries, internal bleeding. Torn diaphragm. They need to open up his chest and operate. He's probably listed as day to day, but that's just a guess.

He was a decent TE. I didn't realize they had converted him to OL. Don't like seeing that happen to anyone though so hopefully he comes out of everything just fine.

I love the look of this map. It means I'll be getting the game....Eugene, Oregon, north of Medford.
I've been forced to watch a lot of Oakland Raiders this season...which, to me, is like watching hammered vomit.
Speaking of Carswell, the Broncos are not deep in the offensive line, so this injury is significant. Carswell can play tight end, tackle, guard, fullback, linebacker and defensive end. He can also punt in an emergency situation. And he is the emergency quarterback behind Plummer, Van Pelt, and Rod Smith.

If that's not a reason to want Sauerbrun to get hurt, I don't know what is. ;D

Let me reiterate, picks against his team!
the fact that you have NEVER thought the eagles were gonna lose says all ive suspected about you...and will make winning that five bucks from you all the more tasty
And were do you get the idea I have never thought the Eagles will lose? You haven't been here that long.

by definition you never have...why else would you make a big deal about me picking against my own team...or are you actually trying to say picking against them and thinking they are gonna lose two different things
from the Broncos board...

This is why it sucks to have your spleen removed. (http://www.lymphoma.org.uk/support/information/Splenectomy.htm)
That farging sucks. Glad to hear the guy is stable though, get well soon!
ouch. sounds like a pretty bad accident.

I've never picked against the Eagles even if I didn't think they would win. To me, thats dirty money. If I think they might not win, I don't bet on that game,
especially if it's a game against the taterskins! If I picked against them, and they lost, I'd probably never bet again. I'm superstitious like that. It's like if I wear my McNabb jersey the first game of the season and they win, I wear it every game until they lose, and I start all over again.
And yeah, I'll make a big deal about a Eagles fan on a Eagles message board betting on the taterskins, or any other team, and then making dumbass excuses as to why he lost, like,
Oh, but there has never been a blocked kick returned for a td that decided a game! Sorry for your luck pal. :'(
Picking the Broncos this week igy?? I shore hope so. Your batting 1.000 so far.
I think that real Eagle fans should make no mistake about how good the Broncs are, and how tough a game this will be, especially with the funk McNabb seems to be in. Jake Plummer is playing as good as I've ever seen him. He's not throwing to the other team, something he's had trouble with throughout his career, and something I hope he revisits this week.
I don't know if the D can play the run anywere near as good as they did last week against one of the best runningbacks in the game in LT, but I hope so. The Bronco's can run the ball with any team in the league, even if they don't have that one go to rb.
This Eagles team can beat any team in the league when they are all at 100%, but they aren't. The heart and soul of the Eagles is hurt, and until he shows me he can hit a receiver deep, or across the middle consistently, I won't be comfortable against any good team like the Broncos, but that ain't enough to make me bet or pick any other team.
By the way,

......ain't good enough. You don't know what your talking about half the time. You make assumptions about what people think, and you seem to think you know what half the players think.
And you bet on the taterskins, when they play the Eagles, that tells
me all I need to know about

He has significant injuries. He's done for the year. He's not out of the woods yet. I hope you guys can find it inside yourselves to maybe say a prayer tonight for House. Thanks.
Associated Press
AURORA, Colo. — Denver Broncos offensive lineman Dwayne Carswell was in critical but stable condition with an excellent prognosis Thursday after he was involved in an accident that ripped the driver's side door off his car while on his way to team headquarters.
The 12-year veteran, known by his teammates as "House," fractured multiple ribs, ruptured his diaphragm and spleen and sustained internal injuries.
He was in intensive care at a suburban Denver hospital after a five-hour operation to remove his spleen and repair internal organ damage. Coach Mike Shanahan said the operation "went as well as it could possibly go," but dismissed any thought of Carswell playing again any time soon.
"He won't return this season," Shanahan said. "It is very serious, what he went through. Now, it's worrying about recovery and hopefully, not having a lot of pain."
Shanahan and trainer Steve Antonopulos addressed the team about Carswell's situation in meetings not long after the morning accident. After the team warmed up at the start of practice, the players broke their huddle by shouting, "House!"
"You just pray for the best. That's all you can do now," offensive lineman George Foster said. "Football is secondary."
Officer Tony Guzman said Carswell was in one of three cars traveling south on a busy, eight-lane thoroughfare that passes close to Broncos headquarters in suburban Denver — when two northbound cars collided and veered into the southbound lanes. Several cars were extensively damaged. A woman whose name wasn't released was treated and released from the hospital.
"In no shape or form was (Carswell) the one that caused the accident," Guzman said.
Both doors and much of the front and rear fenders on the driver's side of Carswell's car, a 1994 Chevrolet sedan, were torn off and crumpled.
The 33-year-old Carswell played tight end during his first 11 seasons, all in Denver. This year, he was moved to the offensive line, though the Broncos have used him in tackle-eligible situations several times. Last month, playing in his home town of Jacksonville, he caught two touchdown passes.
"He probably has the best hands catching the ball on this team," linebacker Al Wilson said. "He is a veteran guy that players look up to and seems to produce week in, week out."
Shanahan said Carswell wouldn't be allowed to see visitors until Friday at the earliest.
The Broncos will probably place Carswell on their non-football-related injury list in the next week, which would free up a roster spot for an offensive line that doesn't have much depth.
Wilson and several others said football matters were the least of their concerns when it came to their teammate. They said they would try not to make Carswell's precarious situation a distraction heading into Sunday's home game against Philadelphia, but conceded that would be difficult.
"The point is, somebody else is in need and in a grave condition," fullback Kyle Johnson said. "You want to focus on that and make sure that the person gets the attention that he needs."

Well no wonder he got hurt. His car had no doors!!
You know, I feel bad for House, and I really hope he fully recovers. People > Football.
But, this worries me about Sunday. This is the kind of shtein that a team rallies behind. They have the edge over the Eagles (at least according to the odds makers), and this probably adds to their edge.
This sucks.
You think maybe Mahe could get in an accident on Saturday?

I disagree, I think that the players will be so wrapped up in this accident that they won't be 100% mentally on the field.

Tito was put on the injury list yesterday with a knee contusion and listed as questionable...hopefully he'll be alright.
And Lamar Gordon and Rod Hood could be the KRs on Sunday.
Hood, Moats, Gordon & Wynn took reps as KR yesterday.
I'm underwhelmed by all of those names. Let's put Donovan in at KR.
I'm OK with giving Gordon a shot to return kicks and stuff. Gotta be better the other names on the list...
I'd love to know what changes we've made in the KR blocking!
We could trade for Dante Hall and he'd still get lit up with the blocking we have now.
this is why we need mike mamula
Damn! His car is farged!
I told you guys that was a pimpin car, loook at those rims.
You guys are just too white to have any style.
(http://images.chron.com/content/news/photos/05/10/28/wreck.jpg)
DAMN! By the looks of that ride he's lucky to still be alive. I wonder if the door had side impact air bags? Could have been what saved him.
looks like the spray painted plastic 24's held up ok.
eeeerie reminders of pelle gone by
what is Lito's status? I saw he hurt his knee on wed but it wasnt serious? any updates?
he was downgraded to questionable...hasnt practiced since i dont think. hood would go in his place.
thanks
