You guys were great and just hung out with the local fans. The lineman we all there too. Probably can't do that any more. But great times. Remember when we played darts at Jacksons Hole?

I hate the Raiders the worse, I fear the Chargers the most, but I definitely hate playing at the Chiefs stadium the worse. BTW, if you don't know if you're making sense, imagine what it's like for us, LOL. It's all cool, man, I kind of get what you say, I just don't agree with it, I've never seen a win I didn't like and specially love the easy ones which go easy on my nails, chewing that is, ahahah.

We play who is on our schedule. I would just like it for me, just to look forward to a stiff competition. dont get me wrong chiefs and raiders have always used any given sunday against us but for the most part chargers are only competition. and while i enjoy things like this kinda wish our division was the best and hate watching whack teams period. dunno if im making sense but it is what it is Dont get me wrong. when i said i wanted competition in our division. it wasnt to prove anything to the naysayers.

LOL! And you're right Baylinorcrush, McD. did kind of go into a conservative mode on that penalty and let them go for the field goal, but I'll take a field goal any time rather than give Rivers another chance to get to the defense with 1 more play. I think that McD. sometime this season will take that penalty and give our defense a chance to get to the other teams QB. NEXT GAME IN 1 WEEK GO BRONCOS Let's make it 7-0 See, I said I saw some things that needed fixing. LOL!

So here it is: The Good: On O: Scheffler was the difference on O today, most of it in the 2nd half. The two plays that were all pro, the sideline catch in the end zone with the two feet in while catching the ball fully extended, a thing of beauty, not unlike the winning super bowl TD for the Steelers last season, and the catch and run from our own 40 to their 7 that set up our last TD, brilliant run for a TE. 101 yards for the day, enough said. Marshall, another overall solid performance, showed his beasty strength on a couple plays and again fought hard even when he didn’t catch it like that long pass deflection he made to avoid a sure INT. Stockley seemed to be the go to guy this time, rather than Gaffney, and bailed us out on 3rd down a couple times including the TD. Buckhalter with 75 yards running and catching the ball. Good 4.6 yard per carry average. Orton, solid, mainly in the second half, again... None of it would of been possible without the O line. The pass protection they gave Orton was second to none, and as far as I’m concerned, they were the offense MVP with Scheffler. On D: Sack, sack, sack, sack and one more sack! Even so, Rivers got away from the pressure more times than I care to remember, we still sacked him 5 times! Doom with 2 brings him to 10, leading the NFL. Bailey and Goodman got extremely busy as expected, Rivers strength is the long ball, and responded very well while leading all tacklers, Bailey 7 Goodman 5. The few people here who where unnecessarily worrying about Goodman last week should get a life, he is an excellent CB and one of our off season great pick. Dawkins was relentless while on the field as usual. Fields had an excellent day at the center, I thought his best game so far and Holliday keeps making the big important plays. On ST: EDDIE ROYAL. What can I say? Only 11th man in the history of the NFL to return a KO and a punt for TD’s in the same game. Wow, I called the ST all week to perform after their debacle against N-E and they responded, without the ST, we most likely go home a loser.. Now, does anyone see the importance of that third phase of the game most everyone seems to forget about when analyzing the upcoming games? The Bad: On O: Sorry guys, but I am not half as enamored with Moreno as a lot of you. He had a terrible game, average 2.4 yards per carry for 44 yards and one catch for minus one yard. He is far from ready for this level and we better hope Bucky stays healthy while he is learning. He is obviously running into a wall right now, quite literally, his short yardage performance is once again non existent other than the diving 1st down run. Terribly slow 1st half for the whole O once again. They tried to mix it up early with some trick plays that did little then went on with the running game with Moreno which did equally little. Marshall gets the dumb A$$ award for making a soccer move, what’s the deal with that? Did it in training camp, now on the field to cost us a valuable first down. Inexcusable. On D: Their O moved at will on us in the first quarter. Rivers 139 yards passing, personal record! We played a bend but don’t break type of game, so they made a ton of plays including 73 yards rushing by the worse rushing O in the league, but the D was able to tighten the screw on Rivers at game’s end when they fell behind and had no choice but to put it up in the air and forgo of the run. The inside linebackers, DJ and Andra had their toughest game to date. Not our best defensive game. On ST: Prater missed a long one, only one KO in the end zone and Kern coul never punt them into a hole, instead punted it into the end zone. Of course we gave up the Sproles punt return TD, but they did well containing him other than that. The ugly: Not necessarily ugly, but the conservative play calling on O at the end of the first half which caused us to punt with about one minute to go and they score 7 on the punt return. Killer avoidable score if we play other than the just to go into halftime kind of ball. Also not necessarily ugly, but obviously McD was scared to death to give Rivers an extra down when he declined a 10 yard penalty in the 2nd quarter which would of put them out of FG range, instead they make the FG. And, of course, the real ugly stuff that never changes, choice of play and by whom it is carried on short yardage... I said I wouldn’t bring this up again being I am so sick of it, so I won’t. That’s McD stubborn streak alright...absolutely a moronic approach for an otherwise “genius” coach. 6-0, week off, it must be good to be a Bronco now, right Jay?

Regardless of if we sweep the division, have you all forgotten what the other 10 games are like, I mean the majority of them are like against way upper tier class teams, if we can't sharpen our teeth on those bad boys, there is something seriously wrong with this picture. And anyway, have you guys forgotten how soundly the Raiders beat us last year? I far as I'm concerned, the Raiders can remain in the cellar for as long as I live, but unlikely because Davis should normally die before I do, LOL. I think the rivalry against the Raiders was so long ago that some of you guys are going soft on them, unreal what time will do. I say nonsense, let's step on them real hard every time we play them and make them look like the farce they really are, not mentionning that I love making the Raider fans look like the real idiots they are. As far as what the rest of the world thinks of our division, again, who the heck cares, certainly not I, respect is not in winning a division anyway, it's in going all the way. There will be plenty of time to show the world, that we don't get any respect now doesn't seem to have hurt the team any, right? So it hurts some of you guys, get real, respect for our team won't make us any better, it will simply build up your egos, is that what we're in it for? What's happened to winning, winning cures all things, so you can quit wishing we had more competition in our division so we could get more respect, and buckle up for the rest of the year, we have only 4 division games left and 6 others, we need to bag all these division games plus 3 or 4 others so we can have a shot at homefield avantage throughout, yes here I said it, I think we are a shoe in for the division, so we will make the playoffs, so I believe we can start thinking, us not the team of course, home field throughout, which makes the Colts game a monster game if both teams remain with identical records until then. That would be the game of the year for the AFC. I just think you guys are losing your fire in this bye week, you are so bored, weird thoughts are coming out of your fingers and ending up on this page so I thought you needed a pep talk before you start apologizing about winning the division with such weak competition, ahahahah.

But I did see some problems with the team and now would be a nice time to fix them. And I don't see any thing wrong with people saying that we are bottom feeders as they are already saying detrimental things about our team. As long as we sweep the division, that would be a sweet season for me.
