It is certainly not a do or die, but is important. Losing to an NFC team has no bearing on playoff tie breakers, so the Atlanta game needs to be forgotten. This game will have implications later. Also, good teams that make the playoffs win their home games. There is no question that this weekends game will be the measuring stick for this season's Bronco team as the Texans are probably the best AFC team. This game will have to be won by the defense. The magic number is 20...keep the Texans under it and the Broncos should win. No doubt this is an early season pivotal game. It is certainly not a do or die, but is important.

That didn't last very long. I trust in the coaches to make the right decisions concerning personal, they will have the best 46 on game day taking the field. I sure hope C. Harris is healthy for the game , he always makes plays when you need him. DB, what happened to “if you can’t say nothing nice, don’t say anything at all”. That didn’t last very long.

I haven't watched it yet. Of course their are the key guys; Foster, Johnson, Daniels, and the monstrous J.J. Watt. We plug the run good up the middle which worked great against a bigger but slower guy like Turner. However, Foster can bounce inside to outside in before lightning can strike so he will be much more dangerous. Plus he can catch out of the backfield. I trust Bailey against Johnson so as long as the Texans don't try to play Andre in the slot or on the otherside, we got him locked up. Daniels will be a big time problem as tight ends and between the numbers are our weakness. I'll watch the tape so I know what personnel Houston runs and whether we need Harris back or not. I like our chances against 21 personnel better than 12 or 11 personnel at the moment. Get well soon Chris Harris. I TIVOed the Texans game so I could look at some tape and get an idea what to expect.

Our D was on the field alot give them credit, moreno sucks IMO, hes had his chances. Manning comes out with a chip, we will win by a couple scores.

I know this much, Trev is fast and a tackling machine. RH, I’m thinking the same thing on how to utilize Trevathan. I know this much, Trev is fast and a tackling machine.

However, I wouldn't cut him. He is talented and I think knowing he will be coming back pushes WW pretty hard (I am proud of Woodyard too). Even if Wesley wins the job, D.J. is strong depth. Maybe draft to fill the spot next year and use D.J. as trade bait. I like Danny. I want to see them work with him on coverage skills so he can hang strong in man coverage on some big TEs. Those guys tend to burn us because of the mismatch they create. DaddyBroc, I am half with you on D.J. inthat I am def to the cries. However, I wouldn’t cut him.

In that case, Mathews is a good choice for the scheme. The Packers run a 3-4. When you run a 3-4 you expect your DL to take up double teams and scheme it to create specific holes that Mathews then fires through. If we had continued down the path of the 3-4 base defense then Mathews would have been awesome. In the 4-3 that we run, Mathews can't do what Miller does on passing downs so he isn't as appealing as a player. I'm not sure how he is against the run or in pass coverage which is what you would be asking him to do in a 4-3. Hope that takes some of the sting away from not having him on our team.
