“official” refs are happy to see this mess
How ’bout a 1st down???
Ayers makes it for me he has not been stellar but he has been solid
i thought he did well today and he will make the team cause del rio like versatile players
If e can keep noshow, ball,and Moore after their game, Ayers is a shoo in. imo
Ron Ron will make it for sure
I think Harbaugh took lessons from Rex Ryan.
Lol Wolfe!
Cat I know he was he just hasnt been anything special. We also have guys who can come in and do what hes done for us.
OT I think some teams will be interested for a mid-late round pick.
Wolfedom Ball got hurt Knowshon had a good game IMO and Moore still needs to improve and this is only his second year. Its what Ayers 5th year? Hes never shown much to me. Hes been solid but I really think we can get what he does from someone else whos shown me just as much as Ayers has.
Can’t wait to watch the Jets fail to score a TD after this!!
I see your point AB
afraid of that big hit?
Jesus!!! How many drops has Osweiler had?????
Andre… You have to catch the ball.
CFB
Finally……..
a 1st down woot!
AB,You are welcome to your opinion. I think any player I mentioned is mediocer at best
Wow. They have not stopped talking about the Brncos. Poor niners… I am complaining now because they’re annoying me.
One year deal?L? I am so sick of this!!!!!!!!!!!L
Yeah Brock!! I love this kid!
Its a 5 year deal!!!!
Harbaugh sucks!! Lol
Well we have Wolfe Malik Garland Beal and Hunter (when he comes back from injury) Who can step up and do what Ayers has done. Wolfe I have been for cutting Moreno and Ball for a long time in favor of JJ and Omon. But Moore im not. He has improved some and still needs to yes but this is only his second year and first with a full offseason. And this offseason has helped him.
Didn’t get it
I know, but Peyton pointed out to woody Paige that he is only guaranteed money this season unless he passes a physical and now everyone is blowing that statement out of proportion basically saying now he’s only going to be a Bronco for one season.
I’d be surprised if we cut Moreno, just me..
Moreno stays, I’m pretty sure
Good call. Go for it with Omon! He’s a bulldozer
OT I will be also. I think he should be because I like JJ and Omon to take his and Balls spot but also I kinda want to keep Moreno since he doesnt cost a lot and can help us in the screen game. Ball is one who im not 50/50 he should just go.
I don’t see the improvement AB. Garland, Malik haven’t done anything. Ayers has the posibiliy to be a star. Can you say that about Noshow or Ball
Horrible call
Smh
Once again, the first half leaves me with goosebumps and the second half makes my stomach hurt
Almost forgot we have McCoy with Peyton running the show…. Lol
This isnt about Ball or Moreno they wont be stepping up to take Ayers place…..And Ayers doesnt. Ayers hasnt done anything really. Hes been solid so have Garland and Malik. Hunter was doing great before he got hurt. Beal has done well. And well Wolfe I think we all can agree he would be better than Ayers. And Moore has improved quite a bit. Just have to really watch him. He still makes mistakes and the one bad play was a bad play by him which isnt the way to judge if hes improved any or not.
bush is hurt
Bush looked to have been limping and was running with a limp
Sorry Ayers doesnt look like he can be a star. Not to me at least. Just at most a solid player which he is. And also easily replaceable.
I watched him completely miss the coverage on th td. Wolfe is excellent. Beal also stays. Malik and Garland aren’t in the same class as Ayers.imo
Great play Malik! To go along with his FF earlier!
If it is so easy to find solid players why have we not found alot all these years AB
We are really going to need dj this year, I hope he gets a reduced sentence
Nice tackle David!!
DJ isn’t going anywhere. Life ain’t fair…
And your judging him by one play which you cant do. Also Malik is looking to me a lot better than Ayers and Garland has looked just the same as Ayers.
Mandeigo, not only will his sentence NOT be reduced, he will have games added to it, at least two IMO. DJ that is
I know but just hoping
We have had a lot of solid players. Not good or great ones. Huge difference. Solid players are guys who sub in and help the team and most of our starters over the years have been solid players with the exception of a handful. So its not that we havnt found them its that we havnt used them correctly.
Trust me, we will all welcome a healthy DJ Williams with open arms come mid season……
