Love him or hate him you have to check Woody Paige article in the Denver Post today.

I know an older man who eight years ago this month was committed to committing suicide.
Me.

It turned out that I had diabetes, which causes low serotonin levels in the brain — and depression.
I am so fortunate. Allen and Gil were there when I needed help. They saved my life. I am not depressed. I never want to die.

I know there are a lot of Bronco fans on here......

Any further news on Bailey and Goodman? Was just curious as to the defense we are facing this week.

Both practiced today but are game time decisions. Moreno and Harris are definitely out on offence. Could be a very long game for the Broncos on Sunday.

They'll both play. No doubt in my mind. Both practised today, in limited capacity. That said, though young, I like our CB depth a lot.

It doesn't really matter though, does it?

I heard that Moreno is a no go for this weekend and Laurence Maroney is going to start in his place.

This is true, but I think Buckhalter will get as many carries as Maroney. I'm more worried about Ryan Harris being out again than anything. Have to admit, though, that Zane Beadles has done way better than I expected.

This is a fun game. See how many former NFLers you can spot on this list:

Highlights include Jeff Garcia, Ahman Green, Dominic Rhodes.

Guys like Daunte Culpepper and Cato June are also in that league.

I can't believe the amount of former NFL'ers they've got in there, wow! I only quickly glossed over the first half of that list and still saw a handful of former Saints(Charles Grant, Colby Buckwoldt, Mike Hass, Antwan Lake, Terrence Melton, Fakhir Brown, Alfred Fincher, Michael Pittman), not to mention a ton of other NFL names I recognize.

EDIT: Also see a couple former Stamps defenders in there with CB Kelly Malveaux and S Trey Young. I loved Young 4-5 years ago when he was still here, man could he lay the wood.

Hold out Marcus McNeil signs his reduced tender and will return to the Chargers. So by deciding to wait 4 months, he forfeited 2.5 million in salary but didn't have to attend training camp. Bad move by McNeil there, and thats a lot of dough he'll never get back. You'd have to think if he stays healthy he'll be bolting from San Diego first chance he gets.

Well Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon are both out for the Colts on offense due to injuries. Clint Session and Bob Sanders are out on defense.

Also, Charlie Johnson is questionable. So a lot of injuries to Indy as well. I think Denver will be focused on Reggie as they should be so Collie will have another big game. Hopefully Addai and Brown can play how they did against the Giants.

Has Bob Sanders ever made it through a whole season yet?

This is his 7th season in the league, and he has only played 7 or more games twice. In 2007, he played 15 games and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He played in 14 games another year.

After listening to Hank Goldberg this AM, I expect the Colts to light the Broncos up actually. Champ Bailey is hurtin and is a game time decision and the Broncos are starting 2 rookies on their O-line. Indy was a perfect 6-0 as road favorites last year which points to their ability to prepare for hostile enviroments. Freeney should have a huge day and they should be able to throw the ball around some with or without Garcon.

One other thing to watch in tonights game. With revis out for the Jets, Cromartie gets the assignment against Brandon Marshall and when both played in the AFC West...it was no contest with Marshall burning him for 20+ yards 18 seperate times.

One game i am getting one of those "feelings" about is the Saints/Falcons tilt. Me thinks the Saints may be in tough.

And the Texans/Cowboys game is fascinating to me. Obviously there is some serious issues with the 'boys, but IMO it starts and stops with the players. I know everyone is bangin on Wade Philips, but he isnt the one that is throwin picks and outtin the ball on the ground at the most inopportune times. The play calling has been more than questionable, but that falls on assistant head coach Jason Garrett. Either these guys make a statement today, or they really are done for the season i believe. Houston is a good team but are a mess in the secondary thus far...which would make one think that Dallas should sling the ball all over....but should they? I think the Cowboys come out and pound the ball early and often which then leads to opening up things downfield and they win the game. real gut check time for both teams but moreso for Dallas...who I hope gets smoked and fades off to bolivian*.

I really hope the Texans win this afternoon so I can laugh at the Cowgirls. Go Texans!

[KTown]

It's gameday and anytime the Dolphins are playing the Jets, is an extra special week, its the next best thing to the superbowl. Hate the Jets always have, been our biggeset rival forever.

Can't wait for Sunday Night!

Not questioning your thoughts here, but the Broncos have started two rookies on the OL all year. They've (the OL, not the rookies) given up 4 sacks total so far. Yeah, I know the Colts have the greatest defensive ends EVAR, but I don't believe the Broncos OL is a liability.

I'll bet the Broncos score 30 today.

This team is much better than it is getting credit for.

Bailey is in, BTW. Perrish Cox will see lots of time today and has been stellar thus far.

[Erick Estrada]

Boy Matt Cassel has a noodle arm. Should have been an easy completion but the ball just takes too long to get there and picked off.

[Sylvanfan]

Uggh....the problem is that the Chiefs backup Brodie Croyle is also an awful quarterback. No doubt now that they should have been looking at McNabb when he was there to be had.

I guess time will tell...the way Manning is slinging the ball around though, I'm not sure Denver will be able to stay with them. Freeney is a matchup nightmare for experienced teams and Orton will hang on to the ball a bit longer than he should at times....which just leads me to believe the Colts will have some success against the broncos line. I hope i am wrong but to me Indy is playing at a level very few teams are and manning is out of his mind so far though the Denver pass D has been pretty good.
