DOOOOOOOOOM!

4 sacks for Elvis Dumervil today.

Shannon Sharpe inducted into the Broncos Ring Of Fame today as well. Skydiving entry into the stadium before the game.

Finner · 09-20-2009, 04:57 PM

That steelers kicker is going to get cut...holy crap missed two?

Hard to say. They've looked great, but considering the teams they've played I'll keep from jumping for joy yet. Dumervil looks great. 4 sacks today? Awesome.

Nice to see the running game pick up there at the end. I follow Philly pretty closely as well, and Buckhalter was a great pickup. Very underrated.

trout, Cleveland looked, well, bad. Either Denver's defence is amazing or Cleveland's offence is anemic. They had a little success, but it was a dominant second half performance for Denver IMO.

Agreed. I predicted a 4-0 start before the season, so it's going to be a while before I'm more optimistic than my 6-10 season finish prediction.

That said, I don't think Cincinatti's offense is any slouch at all. Especially after what they did today in Green Bay.

ResAlien · 09-20-2009, 05:23 PM

^True. I'm a bit more optimistic, predicted 9-7. The defensive scheme has looked good so far, let's see how they fare against teams with more talent on the offensive side of the ball. I'm really happy with the offence. As Orton is settling in I like what they're doing. Just get him to look for that last checkdown which was open a few times, and they're working smooth.

rubecube · 09-20-2009, 05:32 PM

Man, it's so easy to bet against Norv Turner. What an idiot. Rivers is having the game of his life, they're marching the ball down the field by passing; so what does Norv do on 4th and 2? Why a draw to Sproles, who gets jacked up by Ray Lewis. Ball game.

Dallas in two weeks will be a great barometer.

I always hate the games in Oakland. You never know what you're going to get out of that team.

InSutterWeTrust · 09-20-2009, 05:39 PM

is it me or does it feel like there have been a lot of missed field goals this year?

OILFAN #81 · 09-20-2009, 05:45 PM

Titans and Jags both 0-2!

Great news for me as a Colts fan.

Also nice to see a Patriot loss!

Montana Moe · 09-20-2009, 06:25 PM

Geaux Saints.

Montana Moe · 09-20-2009, 06:42 PM

Bell got hurt today, so we'll see how that shakes out. I think they'll start Bell if healthy and work Thomas in for the next two games before their week 5 bye. By that time one of them should have established themselves.

In other words, I haven't a clue but that would be my guess...

rubecube · 09-20-2009, 07:05 PM

Haha! Romoception! Pick six followed by a shot of Jerry Jones picking his nose. Looks good on 'em so far.

rubecube · 09-20-2009, 07:07 PM

And then the Cowboys fumble the kickoff.

But I'll say the Raiders earned it, when the Chiefs gave them a chance, they took it and made the plays when it counts. Kansas City....quit playing in the last 2 and a half minutes. LOSERS!

Didn't you make fun of me for saying KC will only win 1 game? I think KC is worse than expected. Russell was horrible, but with all the hoopla that surrounded the savior Cassel, man was he absolutely terrible.

What a horrible game. I'm actually taking the opposite from this game than what Displaced said. The Raiders may have been cocky after playing the Chargers so tough last week (where they should have won) that they came in flat and played down to the Chiefs. I think this game was a reality check for them and they'll play the Broncos tough too.

No that was burn_baby_burn. I had been hoping for a 3-13 season and thought 2-14 was possible. I think the Chiefs problem is that they are professional losers. They know how to lose, they showed it last year blowing about 5 games they could have won too.

I think the Raiders played an okay game against the Chargers, but that the Chargers aren't all that great of a team either. In fact I think the Chargers defence is average at best and that their offence would be pretty suspect without Rivers.

The Raiders won't be winning no 8 games this year because they have to play 9 games against real football teams and they already blew one of their 6 Division games.

I'm sorry but the Raiders still suck. Just not as bad as the Chiefs. Denver will work them next week. One might argue that of all the 2-0 teams in the NFL right now...Denvers wins are as impressive as anyones save the New York Jets, they beat the Bengals in Cinci, and the Bengals in turn beat the Packers, who beat the Bears who just beat the Steelers. This all after I thought the Bronco's could be pretty terrible too. Yeah the NFL has been that way through two weeks.

rubecube · 09-20-2009, 07:54 PM

Second Romoception of the day.

In other shocking news, Brian Westbrook is hurt again. Apparently he won't miss anytime. I'm not too upset. McCoy has been the better back so far anyways.

rubecube · 09-20-2009, 07:59 PM

I'd be happy if both teams didn't score anymore points. The under is 44.5

You can watch CBS feeds online.

Just search for tv online or whatever. There are lots of people who simulcast (a few minutes) the channel online.

mykalberta · 09-20-2009, 08:10 PM

I dont care how my 5$ pro line pick went - the Broncos WON.

w00t w00t w00t and in kind of dominating fashion - only a little over 200 yds offence from the Browns.
