Disappointed, But Ready for Sunday

September 29th, 2011 - 5:37pm by Rahim Moore

Whenever you lose there’s always a lot of woulda, coulda, shouldas. I was disappointed because of how hard we worked throughout the week and our gameplan was perfect. I just hate losing. I’ve lost before in my career, and it’s not fun.

But how hard we took it just shows how much this team wants Ws. Whenever you play a sport like this, especially with the coaching staff we have, you should expect to win. One thing about individual accolades — sure, you can look good. But when you win, everybody looks good. Our main job is to make Coach Fox look as good as he is. That man deserves wins. He’s, what, the third active coach in wins? We want to get him to number one.

I’m going to tell you one thing about sports. When you play on the road, it shows you how much you really can do. It shows your ability. When you play at home, you feel comfortable. When you’ve got to play on the road in a hostile environment, that brings the most out of you. I love road games.

Of course that means I’m excited for this weekend in Green Bay all the more. You always want to surround yourself with the best, and they’re a great organization historically. It’s going to be a tough challenge for us.

First, I see how Aaron Rodgers makes great decisions. He’s a captain, he’s a leader, and he is just as good as advertised.

Second, hopefully we get guys back like Champ. I miss that dude. Seeing him on the sideline in Tennessee, he needs to be on the field. First of all, with an injury, he doesn’t have to come to away games. But he came anyway, and that just shows you the love of the game he has and the love he has for his teammates. Also I’m anxious for Elvis and everybody else who has been hurt to come back too.

I’m excited for this weekend. It’s gonna be a good one.

    to kyle orton i am sorry on the behalf of the idiot band wagon tim tebow bronco fans that put that dumb sign up calling for tebow. to tebow i like u but ur not ready yet. to any bronco who wants to get wins this would for sure be a good win. a win against the world champs would for sure get denver some attention. go out there and get it done u have showed me that u have the potential to be a top tier team just need to finish games and stop making stupid mistakes.

    I find close games more painful to lose, than games that are won decisively. When a team begins to impose their will, and begins to beat you in all phases, there is a self-defense mechanism which kicks in and shuts down your emotions. You begin to feel numb, which doesn’t really happen in close games, where your psychological mechanisms remain open. I expected a game in Green Bay, where neither team showed mercy to the other, until, perhaps, the final score was beyond the reach of the clock, and that was, in fact, the case. I have been away from football a long while, and I was very interested in watching this game. I mentioned in another post, that this was the first time as a Bronco fan that I didn’t have a sense of foreboding or dread facing this game at Lambeau field in Green Bay. That means that I was confident that the Broncos would play with those qualities I most admire — heart and intelligence. Although I only witnessed parts of the game through (poorly) streaming video, the outcome, while painful and humiliating, wasn’t devastating to me emotionally, as might have been the case in previous years. Hopefully, that points to maturation in my character, and a more realistic outlook, in terms of football. I suspect that the Broncos as a team reflect this attitude in themselves as well, and after a good night’s sleep, find the negative effects of this contest are largely washed away, and make their preparations for another big contest — against the Chargers. Best wishes, Broncos!

    I am a diehard Bronco fan. Now you can say what you want about Orton or Tebow or Quinn….My statement is this: I had faith in Kyle Orton for the first 2 games and now it has gone thru 4. I can’t be so presumtuous as to think Orton could have pulled us through against Green Bay. BUT: Of the 4 games, he’s had an interception or more in every one or a fumble. Of the 4 games, 3 were in the 4th quarter when we could have won. I don’t know about you, but as far as I’m concerned, why not give Brady Quinn or Tim Tebow a chance? They certainly can’t do any worse than Kyle is doing? All I’m saying is if they lose, at least they are gaining experience to take over the mantle of leader. If they win – bonus! I think the Kyle Orton era has played out. He was on again off again in Chicago and is on again and off again now! Mostly off. I like him as a person and feel bad for him, but it all comes down to the bottom line. Who do you trust to lead your offense? He has more in common with Tony Romo than he does with a Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or I hate to say it, Philip Rivers. We need a field general like Drew Brees. I know Tim Tebow could have that passion. However, I think Brady Quinn deserves a chance to prove himself or prove he’s not all he cracked up to be in Notre Dame. That poor guy has not been given the chance. In Cleveland he had an o-line that was sorry as hell. Here in Denver, he got the shaft after being traded and then they pick Tebow #1 in the draft. Give Quinn one chance to step up or sit down and then if he succeeds, it’s all good, if not, then use your #1 draft choice and have patience with him the way we did with my hero, John Elway!
