When you are suggesting that flacco is an average qb and the Broncos will be 9-7 despite him:

I'd say there are more then 15 QBs better then him.

Name 16 starters worse then him? That gms would rather have flacco then?

I’ll have to take a look at the schedule. Keenum had the 2nd worst QB rating in the entire NFL last season. I’m well aware of how average Flacco is, however he does have the arm to take the top off of a defense and he’ll have a ProBowl RB (Lindsay) and ProBowl WR (Sanders) at his disposal. I have high hopes for Courtland Sutton our WR2 and I believe in our defense with Von and Chubb. Kareem Jackson and Chris Harris are two top 5 corners according to PFF last season and Fangio is the reigning Assistant coach of the year and is one of the best defensive minds in the league. I don’t think we’ll be pushovers by any means. If rich scangarello can make Nick Mullen’s and Cj Beathard look like viable NFL starters I think he can get enough out of Flacco to average 24 points a game. I think it will be tough sledding to put up 24+ on our defense consistently unless it’s KC.

He's too tall to try a spin-o-rama. My car could turn inside that (frank)ing circle.
- Wetbandit1


I'm really curious as to what he was thinking, he could have taken the pass, stopped, counted to 2, and took a shot

I watched us win a Super Bowl with a broken down Peyton and Brock Osweiler with the same formula we’ll be employing this year. I’m not saying we are going to win 12 games, however 9 games is not out of the question. We had the worst QB and HC in the NFL by a quarter mile last year and we were still only a few bounces away from going 8-8.

Rosen is a good one, but he may not be a starter soon.
Gotta think Arizona takes Murray #1?


Maybe carr?
Bortles who just got replaced

I really think he was expecting a defenseman to be around the front of the net?

Good post

Its really hard to say whether its lack of talent or lack of coaching/development

Maybe mitts needs a coach with some fire to get him going
Maybe mitts is NOT READY

Probably a bit or both.

I never liked him, soft as any sabre ever.

Team reflects it.

Wonder if Bob Bougner gets fired, if he gets another shot here?

- Boss34


Like i said... plenty of blame to go around

Botts didn’t adequately IMPROVE the roster from last year

Phil hasn’t DEVELOPED the kids or COACHED UP the Vets

And most of the players have DISAPPOINTED

Maybe some think one of those is more to blame than the others,
But it really is a combo of everything imo

Lots of close games in the nfl
Most could go either way.

Just wondering how a team trades for a guy with a 4th round pick in the same conference?

The most important position in sport, generally has a higher value.

This league is all about QB play more than ever though
So you’re at a bit of a disadvantage from the start
Without looking at your schedule,
8-8ish (give or take) seems about right

Take a quick look at the 2017/18 roster vs. The 2018/19 roster. He improved the team at almost every position.

Tyrod got traded for a 3rd rounder (first pick in the 3rd mind you)

I am not sure what Elway is doing

That is the most egregiously bad play I've seen since Patrik Stefan.

Some more quality names. I was thinking SwedishJesus with a Dahlin avitar, but the more I think of it the more cheesy it seems.

Saw iron maiden in Toronto 2 years ago
Bruce Richardenson was incredible

Just saw Metallica for the first time in 20 years
Outstanding show
They didnt show their age at all

Saw hall and Oates at art park
They joked that the last time they played buffalo was in 1971.
Also put a good show

- Boss34



They must've been rejuvenated. I've seen them twice, once during the summer of SARS in Toronto at Skydome or whatever the (frank) they were calling it at the time and then a few years later at HSBC, they were outplayed by Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Godsmack. I was very disappointed. Hell, 270lb Sammy Hagar and Van Halen were better.

They are possibly my favorite band ever, so I don't say that lightly.

If you can name more then 15 QB’s with a Super Bowl Ring that went on the road to beat manning and Brady in consecutive games in Denver and in New England on the way I’ll hang up and listen. Baltimore can play great defense and run the ball. He’ll get the same in denver. He doesn’t have to be a miracle worker, just efficient and make a play or two when we need it.

FYI, all but 2 games on every team’s schedule is pre determined from now to eternity or until the league changes the schedule policy. Isn’t Lindsay injured? Sounds like there are holes in your Broncos fandom boat to me. Better start bailing. Become a Bills fan now and avoid the rush.
