With all the Broncos/Browns talk, don't forget to make your pick em picks early this week (and every week from here on out I think).

Also, the Broncos have one healthy tailback in Ryan Torain...and he's not really in football shape yet. Pittman and Hall are done for the year and Selvin Young is still not ready. They signed two RB's who I have never heard of this week...that's scary.

Maybe they'll just start handing the ball to Peyton Hillis. That guy is good.

I can't be the only person who read that name the first time and thought...Paris Hilton?? I know Denver has a pretty good running scheme but come on...Paris Hilton wouldn't run for 1000 yards behind that line would she?

I wonder if the AFC West is bad enough where a 7-9 team could win the Division.

They are going to have a tough time signing anyone this off season, and the ones who do will demand guaranteed money.

“I’ve never been in a situation where you cut one of the best players,” said safety Gibril Wilson, another of the team’s offseason acquisitions. “That’s strange to me. It’s almost like we’re throwing in the towel.”

“I’m obviously disappointed,” Asomugha said. “I don’t agree with what happened. I don’t agree with what’s going on. But I am just a player so I can’t speak on it. I don’t make the decisions. All I can do is play but I don’t agree with what happened at all.”

I'm sure every player and agent in the league is listening.

.

Why not? She's quite familiar with hole penetration.

I think 6-10 is a real possibility and I'm not kidding.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-06-2008, 07:23 PM

Wow, the hits just keep coming.

Ryan Torain looks like he's messed his knee up. Selvin Young, who wouldn't play if the Broncos had some freaking RB's is obviosly playing with groin pain (as is Tony Sheffler) so now they have Peyton Hillis, as I ominously predicted, at tailback. Hilarious.

Oh, and the 5th defensive starter is out for this game as Nate Webster sprains a knee.

Quinn has looked sharp in his debut. The first TD pass he threw was very, very nice.

Machiavelli · 11-06-2008, 09:17 PM

Brady Quinn is one seriously good-looking kid.

moon · 11-06-2008, 09:18 PM

Is Marshall really that dumb that up 3 he was going to risk taking a 15 yard penalty to "celebrate" his TD?

Sure the kicker is still likely to make the extra point even with the penalty but he is really that big of an ass that he needs to put his need to show off above the chance to win?

Machiavelli · 11-06-2008, 09:20 PM

That was a dumb 4th and 1 decision.

moon · 11-06-2008, 09:22 PM

For a guy that talks all the time and seems to make dumb off field decisions all the time, Kenslow Winslow sure misses a lot of catches and doesn't do a whole lot out there.

He certainly has a ton of skill and could be a great TE, but for the amount of headaches he causes the Browns he sure doesn't do much to make it worth their while.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-06-2008, 09:27 PM

Did you guys hear Brady Quinn take the blame for the last drive? Jesus. The guy was nearly perfect tonight and that 4th down pass was on the money. If tonight is any indication, he will be the Browns franchise player for the next 15 years. Impressive on the field and as a leader.

What was Marshall going to do? I couldn't see it. Good on Stoke for getting over there and putting an end to it. I imagine Marshall felt a huge relief after the way the last 5 weeks or so have gone.

If there is a more deserving player than Eddie Royal for rookie of the year at this point in the season I'd like to know who it is.

Impressive win for Denver given how many players they don't have left. Scary thin.

Oh..and yeah...Winslow is brutal.

Displaced Flames fan · 11-06-2008, 09:28 PM

Wow, I actually respect Marshall a lot for what he just said.

It was tough to see. It looked like he had a glove or something like that, but Stokely got over there so fast that it was too tough to see exactly what it is and get any sense of what he was planning to do.

Matt Ryan?

What did he say?

And when ever I hear about the player Winslow, I always think about his solider rant he did when he played at the U. Haha.

It was something to do with being proud of his country for electing Obama and showing unity under the flag. It wasn't a celebration as much as a statement.

Stoke said the game was too close.

I don't think it wins in a comparison to Royal's start though.

Ryan Clady is right up there too. No sacks allowed and one holding penalty. The kid is awesome. Of course, OL doesn't win that award very often.

troutman · 11-06-2008, 11:06 PM

Missed the football game - but how does CLE give up 21 pts in the 4th at home? Romeo has to go, or at least the defensive coordinator. Unnacceptable.

Not to be a total homer, but Desean Jackson is having an absolutely stellar season as well. He's on pace for 1000 yards receiving and has turned the Eagles special teams fortunes around.

That being said, it'll be a total sham if ROY doesn't go to Chris Johnson of the Titans.

Edit: RubeCube knows what I'm talking about with Chris Johnson.

Titans need more respect. They're 8-0! And while they probably won't go 16-0 they are most certainly 8-0 for a reason!

Top defense and a run game that will pound it down the other teams throats all games. It isn't pretty but it gets the job done.
