Is Knosho really 16 yards away from 100?!
I’ve always said that knowshon is a good rb when he is healthy he just has a hard time staying healthy
hope he gets the 100 give him some confidense
um.. i hope prater can make a closing feild goal if it happens?
Props to Peyton!
Props to Moreno, you did us all proud!
Peyton is amazing at
clock management
So now it’s up to shaky Prater
So weird… it wouldn’t post those phrases together
and yes, I’m blindly blogging alone, I can’t see the message board… I’m nervous, what can I say
von looking for a sack
wasn’t all roses but we got it done and that’s all that counts really
huge props to moreno for a great game
prater hits those two fg’s i would have been close on score contest had it 28-7 broncos
Hi guys!!! I can see you now! Great Ugly win today
Gray, I was unable to see the live blog again today… I just read through and saw your post and many others that indicated it was working. I tried to reboot the comp, and opened the site a couple times. Odd, sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring anyone
Happy Birthday Strandsky!!!
So who do y’all have? Ravens or Chargers? I would like both of them to loose but I know that there must be a winner unless they tie.
Great ugly win. Typical game in Arrowhead. Just spelled the “Doom” of the KC management I think. I think that was their average score for the season.
Picked the Chargers to win this one. Not very impressed with the Ravens inconsistent offense and SD still plays decent D.
If the math in my head is correct, our playoff scenario includes a loss by SD today and we win at home next week- AFC West Champs… Lol
Great win today in KC.
Broncos Country Strong 2012!!!!!!!!
Good game for Knowshon. He at least gave Peyton good protection in the pocket when necessary.
Loved Knowshon’s early run where he made one cut then fast downhill. He showed great patience today. Reminded me of the old days with read then cut on the zone blocking scheme.
Thanks Turtle and Wolfe. So Tomorrow will be a boring MNF. I’ll have to look for something cool to do for my B-day tomorrow night, it won’t be watchimg the game. LOL
I’d rather see the Ravens lose today…….and get us closer to that number 2 seed. I’m not at all worried about SD catching us.
and Happy Birthday from me too Strand!
Well said Kod!
Thanks Kod!
We all want that bye week!! HaHa!!
It goes against everything in me but I really want SD to win here. Hope Norv KEEPS HIS JOB so they can continue their mediocrity in the AFC West.
I agree that I am not worried about them catching the Broncos to win the division.
What I loved about this win today, and some of the others is that we can win the game in many different ways. It might not always be pretty, but when it comes to crunch time and a play needs to be made, we’re now making them. And to me, that is what championship calibre teams do.
GO BRONCOS!
No points for me, in the blog contest, this week.
Agree KOD. Giants made their share of ugly wins on their way to SB win. I am thinking the Broncos can do the same.
So we have the T.B. Bucks at 2:00 MNT in Denver next week. And T.B. lost today.
No points for me neither. LOL
S.D. up 10-0
This will actually be a very tough game. I think TB is one of the dangerous late-season teams at the moment.
yup, gonna be a tough game with their running attack and ability to stretch the field. But they will be in our house….which changes things completely
Yes KOD. I think Freeman should be considered a very QB this year. Impressed with his play this year. Our advantage is in the passing game. Their pass defense is “righteously hole’y”!
We let Charles rush for over a buck today……but you know where he didn’t run? Into the endzone!
“very good”
Yes, but we didn’t break in the red zone.
Excuse me, I meant to agree that he didn’t break in the end zone.
Anybody notice that week in and week out that we don’t have a problem with false starts with our Offense. Our O is pretty much a good disciplined team. As for K.C. they shot themselves in the foot and at home too. They are horrible.
Yes strand. I have noticed we are much more disciplined in the “mental mistakes” area.
how bout my boy moreno?
too bad he has been on the bench. might have gotten that 1500 all purpose i pedicted. too bad mcg had to get injured for moreno to get a real chance.
ANOTHER WIN BRONCOS COUNTRY..IT WASN’T EASY BUT THEY GOT IT DONE..8-3 AND WITH A WIN NEXT WEEK THE BRONCOS CLINCH THE AFC WEST..GO BRONCOS AND KNOWSHON DID HIS THING TODAY
We will have to play better on offense if we are to beat Tampa Bay. Moreno did a very good job, followed his blockers very well. Good job Moreno keep it up. Go Broncos.
