Should be an Exciting Season!!! Love the D, Enjoyed Watching Peyton, and won’t criticize him for being late and behind on many throws especially over the middle, it was his first game back and like we’ve always said, Peyton was Amazing before, I’m sure he will get the job done now!
VON WOLFENDOOM FOOTBALL 2012! QUARTERBACKS BEWARE!!!!
11-5…….
Seriously BT? Late on his throws after what we went through last year? wow!!!!! smh
I don’t get it.
I try
But
Wow.
You criticize him for even mentioning them.
Got it B east! Good to see you around!
Cat that wasn’t criticizing, exhale… I’m cheering for the guy cause he’s Bronco, never said I wouldn’t cheer for him and never said he was talented. He had two passes tipped by defenders because they were behind, simple fact so try not to get excited, I’m sure he’ll be much sharper next game
SEC, you me and skillz… All going with 11-5!
I understand. I’m sorry if I bit your head off there. Ive had tebowmaniacs after me all day about it. And I got a little testy, please forgive. Next week when he plays a half we’ll see him click. I like how much time they took off the clock.
I’m at 11-5 also
*wasn’t hehe, ‘Never said he wasn’t Talented’
The team looked really good, I could do without Willis, Ball and Hanie… but other than that I was all smiles… Willis even played well but I would rather have Hill at WR in that spot
No worries there BT, I read it the correct way.
Those are the three I want gone too!!
Wolfe, we rock!! 11-5!!!
Omon was a beast and I really think to get a clear look at him the coaches should let him do a drive or two vs the 1st and or 2nd string Ds of the opposing team.
BT 10-6.
I thought Willis kooked real good. He has more speed than Hill.
“looked”
Oh and I agree with Willis Fumbles and Hanie…….I think we should take Robinson and Dell (If they show something good in games and keep it up durin gpreseason)
BT…I could do without Willis,Ball,and Hanie also,but I did however like the holes that Sylvester opened up!!!!
PM will be Alright in regular season!!!
All quarterbacks need to shake rust off, Peyton more than any. He needs this preseason more than any of the others and now that he’s had some time in a real game situation I think he’ll be much better next week. He was so nervous, you could see it in his eyes. All that’s gone now because he came out and did ok.
#82 ingram reminds me of Tony Gonzales. I hope he works out!
tlc…I think they should have played PM the first 2 or 3 posessions….hopefully they will let him play 2 or 3 posessions next game…against the Seachickens!!!!!!!!
Just catching up before heading to bed. Great to see ya again SEC!
Chat with you all tomorrow.
All in all the Defense looked GREAT………my biggest concern about this season!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later kod…great to see you too pal!!!!!!!!!
I gotta say even though I didnt have Wolfe as a draft prospect…He looked great and Worthy looked very sad for the Packers who many wanted and I didnt. Only time will tell but I really think we went the uch better route. Reyes also didnt looks all that great but I wanted him…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzEn_BCxkLU&feature=youtu.be
We all knew it was coming…..
Is Reyes the DE for the Eagles?
If so he looked very weak,and needs to hit the weights,we rocked for taking Wolfe!!!!!!!!!!!
SEC he is a DT/DE for SD.
What I saw of Poe wasnt all that great either but Hillis looked great….
SEC, they’re saying that he might play the WHOLE first half against the sea chickens… Per ESPN!
Sorry dude…but the LAKERS ROCK…….glad to see Howard wearing the purple and Gold!!!!
and yeah Kendall Reyes looked very weak last night,imo!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I just say that Peyton criticizes himself more than anyone else ever could, so if you see me being easy on him ever it’s because he is already ripping into himself about throwing a pick or making a bad decision.
tlc…PM will scorce the Seachickens for 21 points first half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AB Im just gonna say it… I do think the Nuggets got the best end of that deal.
AB I heard KC looked sharp.
Damn right tlc…PM is the biggest criticizer of his own game…..that shows that he is the best QB to ever play the game,and JE used to be my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Iggy hes a great defender and has a good fast break game but isnt the best shooter. He is good at driving to the basket to pull defenders to get teammates open shots.
Lakers though just look really unbeatable. Only weak spot is MWP but he is still a good defender. Nash Kobe MWP Pau and Dwight great starting 5.
KC did but Poe from what I saw didnt. WHich doesnt bother me. I figured he was going to BUST like Tannehill.
I think Howard is a prima donna and he and Kobe are not going to be a good fit.
