theres a group that does stock game picking for the week and may use this, i noticed in some threads some questions of this high a spread on the road and which to take, that's why i noted it 1st thing , it was covered in my OP

as far as scoring more, I actually wanted them to try for a TD as were having redzone issue, so better to practice in game situation than in practice drills , couldnt care if was by run or pass but wanted another , 2 of 7 red zone TDs isnt good and Broncos were great at that before this game

Ramirez though allowed redzone sacks , that was 1 issue

He scares me if kuper cant go Vs Ravens & in playoffs

Good point about the right guard situation...

That scarred me and led to the attempt to pass TD too wilklis and instead of just throwing high to dt had to drop perfectly, then the vramirez let in pressure and arm hit and great diving IT

1 thing this team needs is more push up the middle to go with the side attacks, if u cant step into the pocket u got them

These guys remember Champ, Bailey Mcgahee , Brookings , DT BANNaon is 33 ,,Center Dan Koppen is 33, stokely so old was going to retire, must be others , are getting older u know and That is again why I say if in win now mode u dont pick Brock as your second pick

also not all 2nd picks are like wolf and immediate starters, so may need a year to develop

I dont know but hear next years draft is soft on offense & deep on defense,

then again we hopefuly get Hunter back who beat out wolfe for DE but got on IR, so maybe with him back can do variations that help but not idf get another DC if del rio gets HC job

T I think Broncos forget about the Ty Warren, DT, 3 years in rowon IR

Yeah, that sounds about right.

You should heard the chain of expletives I emitted when DT went out and then at ManRam.

John Elway's strategy is stacking the draft. I know your feelings toward Osweiler but I'm really very pleased with Wolfe. He's played more snaps than any of our d linemen. And we need sage old players like Brooking, Stokely, Champ, Koppen and McGahee—they all have been great. Our blend of young and old is working, and I like the characters of our players. Elway picked Von, Franklin and Rahim Moore with his first three picks last year. I don't want to think about next year just yet, but whatever we do, I'm going to trust Elway's vision for now.

when DT was on sidelines OK, when he went into locker room for more eval before half ended , now that gave me a double take & pause of uh ohs

shows we need WR depth, Willis is nothing great, Caldwell I am suprised isnt better just like Colts avery

------------------------------------------------------------------------

dont get me wrong, I agree totally but just saying the Vets are aging and will sooner or later need replacing, sometimes 1 year is alot,

Clady will cost alot, we signed many a 1 year experiment, will they cost more next year or just be happy to play , maybe so having peyton and SB chance

if u watched game u even heard announcer say was a time Brookings could cover the receiver too, or something to that effect when he got beatr, u lose a step and know its not right for pure broncos fans mortgageing the future for now but I want a Peyton SB and want him to have the best D & best weapons or OL possible now

I'm not sure how many snaps Caldwell is getting at practice. He has been inactive a lot as he doesn't play on special team. But yeah, Willis is very green.

I understand where you are coming from, and I am all for win-now strategy. If I could, I would urge Elway to go all in :) The Colts are showing us it's possible to rebuild very quickly if you get the right players. Elway shouldn't be afraid to mortgage the future.

    • Hey, Tom!    Good to see you posting again!    I know you like to show up this time of year to offer your insight.      As I like to tell you every year, I’m sure you’re posting as often as you can,  but I think many here would love to see you post more often!   This website is always better when you’re posting more!   
    • We, might... or we might not... or we might lose someone else to injury. It's just what happens in the league. If it's not one player it will be another. It's a violent sport and players will miss games.  You know how I feel about AR. I still think he needs improvements but the sky is the limit with him... I don't think there was anybody higher on him than me here. But first thing - he just needs to stay healthy.    Downs had a very promising rookie season. Hope he makes a jump in year 2 too...  Honestly. I'm not high on this TE group. The rumors about Woods are not great. Ogletree and Mallory IMO are JAGs at best. Which is OK for where they were drafted but they are not game changers. We need better... I guess if you believe in Brock Bowers we should be hoping he's there for us to take in the draft.  Cross will need to make the jump because it looks like we might be losing Blackmon. He had some flashes at the end of the year, but he still needs to show consistency over a prolonged period of time. I think Raimann is already very good. I'm not too enthused with the way Ballard has handled the DT position...    Steichen was already doing wonders with what he was given last year. IMO the hope is that AR stays healthy and is able to unlock the full potential of what Steichen envisions in his offense. 
    • I think I need to clarify something…,  I’m NOT suggesting Irsay isn’t filthy rich.  That the Colts aren’t sound financially.     All I’m saying is that from time to time the Colts might have cash flow problems.  Life as a small market team.   Nothing wrong with that.  The Colts do this (The “0” singing bonus) for a reason.  It benefits them.  And I think it’s smart business.   That’s all.   
    • I don't believe any of this post-hoc spin. He took less to play home. And even if we did believe it - OK... he did take less. What about the 100 other FAs we could have gotten?      This is exactly it... it feels like Ballard is not proactive... he's grabbing to the status quo and holding onto it for dear life. Like the status quo has actually given us anything to brag about? The Texans let go of one of their best defensive linemen... to replace him with a better one. The Chiefs let go of one of their best receivers... to replace him a better one... Those are teams that are not happy with what they had(and they were better than us) and tried to actually improve. Could that backfire? Sure. But at least they are trying to compete. What are we trying for?    I wasn't the biggest fan of the idea of giving record setting contract to Sneed while also giving up significant draft compensation too. IMO you should only do that for elite players and as good as Sneed is IMO he's not quite at that level. But with that said -yes, there aren't many high level FAs remaining on the market. Because while other teams were busy chasing the high level FAs, Ballard was busy giving 14M contract to a backup nose tackle and resigning his PED implicated 31 year old starting nose tackle 40M contract.  I wouldn't hold my breath quite honestly. With the OL there was precedent of them being great previously. With this DL there really hasn't been. We've been at the bottom of the league in creating pressures and affecting the QB for years. And the personnel will be the same more or less. A lot of people putting a lot of hope into the new DL coach. I liked that hire too, but you have to give the guy something to work with and apart from Buckner the rest of the group has never been more than... solid, and in a lot of cases much less than solid.    Yep... it always comes back to this... hoping our draft picks will pan out. The problem with that of course is that over the long term most teams in the league have about the same success rate in the draft. And while other teams use all avenues to improve their team(draft, trades, FA), it seems like Ballard has resigned himself to the draft. He will draft and live or die by it. He's just too stuck in his ways and too stubborn to make any significant changes to his approach.  That's the problem with Ballard. It's never exactly doom and gloom. I am never worried with him that this team will be horrible and hopeless. I worry that it will be mediocre... forever! Which it has been. He gives you just enough hope for your to think "maybe this year... maybe this guy will get better... maybe this draft pick will pan out", but in reality we are just treading water.    Yeah, Sneed could have been good for this defense... oh well... 
    • He turned out to be very good, but at the time of the pick, I thought we could have selected other players, as we were in desperate need of defensive players. But Addison played very well, better than I expected.
