How much will losin Lepsis hurt us?

[JCMElway]

Poll coming

[enjolras]

How anyone can think that losing your starting blind-side tackle is anything less than devastating is beyond me.

[ludo21]

The OL will need a couple weeks to gel, but i think since we are such a deep team, Kuper will come in and play well.

[Kaylore]

Didn't like the poll options. It's somewhere between inconvenience and bad. Not season ending, but you'll notice and we'll struggle because of it.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Denver will miss the playoffs. It's a huge blow to an offense that was already struggling mightily.

[bombquixote]

I remember a couple of years ago when we lost Nalen(?). We were something like 6-2 at the time, and from there went 3-5 to finish the season 9-7 and out of the playoffs. If I could imagine our offense being any worse I'd say losing Lepsis was huge. But as we've already seen, this team lives and dies with the D. I think we wildcard our way to the divisional round no matter what happens with the O.

[NFLBRONCO]

I think this is good and bad. The bad we can not afford anyone else to get hurt. The good might get Denver in gear to really bolster OL in 07.

[Jetmeck]

You wish.

We could lean on our rushing game which even with stacked lines is near the top in the nfl or our also top notch defense.

Too bad you couldn't do the same.

[Kaylore]

Naw, Carlisle played left tackle and Kuper is a starter. I'd worry about your own team that has struggled just to get to .500 to this point.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Too bad you couldn't do the same.

Are you saying the Chiefs didn't lean on their rushing game last year? ROFL!

[Clockwork Orange]

Denver will miss the playoffs. It's a huge blow to an offense that was already struggling mightily.

Ahh, the power of wishful thinking. You're all about that these days.

Can't blame you, it's pretty much all you've got.:giggle:

[Bob's your Information Minister]

But as we've already seen, this team lives and dies with the D. .

You're going to start playing teams with offenses starting this weekend. You absolutely cannot expect to win those games 13-3 or even 17-7. You're going to have to win some of these games 24-21 or even, gasp, 30-27. Say, that score looks familiar.

[yavoon]

I didnt like the poll options. I picked bad, but i dont think gel is the problem. lepsis is one of the better tackles in football, the talent loss is the problem.

[wabbit]

Man, I know what you mean.

I mean those damned Patriots can light it up...oh wait

[Bob's your Information Minister]

New England's offense is ranked 15th.

[wabbit]

New England's offense is ranked 15th.

I said "CAN" light it up you bumbling mass of goo...@ Cincinnati-38-13...that's lighting it up...on a team that crushed your miserable, misguided hopes at HOME.

Freaking stooge.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

If you are seriously tacking up the 15th ranked offense as a skin on Denver's wall, I have to laugh.

Indy is going to take you guys apart like the overrated clowns you are.

Heh dickhead how many did your score in the PITTSBURGH game ?

What your offense ranked ? I'll tack it up on my wall after we wax your ass at home ! If you think you'll score 30 every week get a life, you scored 6 against us last time and what was it 7 against the Steelers. That is seriously
about right for your team.

[Atwater His Ass]

Yeah, cause stats are the be all end all of everything that is NFL.

Laugh, cry, go into a coughing hacking fit & die, I don't really care, loser.

"You will lose to Cleveland"..."You're going to get ass-raped by the Ravens" is about all anyone has to know about your ability to forcast anything football-related.

You're a mindless homer without a life & I don't come here to talk to you... so stay the f*ck away from me.

[bombquixote]

Like we have the past five weeks? In a row? You forgot 9-6. Lombardi would be proud.

In other news, STFU.

That's pretty funny. Bob is so wrong so often. Every time Bob tries to predict something negative about us it usually goes the other way. I his most recent comment is the last little bit of Karma to tip the scales in our favor. :thumbsup:

It's actually rather amusing. I have more correct picks in the Orange Mane pick'em than anyone else. My forecasting abilities are just fine...except when it comes to the Broncos.

Interestingly enough I think I picked Denver in those two games. I'm such a two-faced sonofab****. :~ohyah!:

EDIT: Yep. I picked Denver over Baltimore AND Kansas City. I guess my brain knows what's up, but on here my heart gets in the way.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Lombardi would be proud.


What does this mean, exactly? Lombardi liked offense as much as the next guy. You ever hear of the power sweep?

Oh we're well aware of your two-faced nature Bob. Half of what you say here is trying to cause a scene. My favorites are when you will argue for something Chiefs related here and then over on the Planet be going the other way.

Such as?

[watermock]

An already strugling offense is now in danger of getting the QB killed.

Would that nessesarily be a BAD thing?

The Boobster never fails to amaze me. Every week he seems to outdo himself. Lombardi was all about ball control and a cloud of snow. He would take shots down the field, but not until he wore the opposistion down and they cheated up in the box.

I can just barely remember Lombardi, but I know that he wasn't coaching Lance Allworth. He had a MVP reciever that was still drunk enough to unknowingly make a one handed catch in McGee.

Only the Boob could call a power sweep and explosive play. Because it worked for a TD in an early World Championship?

Lombardi came from the same school as Halas. As a supposed Chef fan, you should know it was Hank Stram that was the offensive minded coach, but I doubt your were more than a *edit incredibly rude insult here*

Look Bob, saying Lombardi was offensively minded is like saying Paris Hilton is an ultra conservative spokesperson for censorship and a Born Again.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Who's calling it explosive?

The difference between being a ball control offense and a shiatty offense can be as wide as the grand canyon.

Lombardi's Packers were top 10 in scoring EVERY YEAR.

[Taco John]

I started a poll about this earlier this week... The results are that nobody seems to believe this will cost our offense much at all since we have nowhere to go but up.

[watermock]

Your argument is he liked offense as much as the next guy you dimwit.

He was incredibly conservative with the ball. Calling a power sweep offensive football is only exceeded by a QB sneak.

Lombardi was famous for those double reverses, flea flickers, and hook and ladders.

Your an idiot.

He rubbed your nose in it, just like I'm doing right now. Only I can't do it in person.

Or I would to your fat ass.

Defend an idiot statement.

Exactly. Top 10 in scoring. EVERY YEAR.

STFU

[watermock]

I'll give you another lesson Junior...

Lombardi is also credited with introducing the concept of zone blocking to the NFL. In zone blocking the offensive line players block as a unit, instead of individually man-to-man, as was the norm up to that time. The running back then was expected to run toward any hole that was created. Lombardi referred to this as "running to daylight".

[watermock]

STFU

There were 16 teams. There were two divisions, it was before the merger. You would have to have a complete crap team not to finish in the top ten.

You want to bring the AFC into it? That conference didn't make an impact till Lombardi was growing daisies. You you don't know crap from scrap.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

There were 16 teams. There were two divisions, it was bfore the merger. You would have to have a complete crap team not to finish in the top ten.

Fine. They were 5th or better in scoring offense 6 of Lombardi's 9 years. They were 2nd or 1st in 4 of those 9 years. I'm not budging.

[watermock]

How can you possibly budge with my foot a half foot up your ass?

So what. Absolutely noone will tell you Lombardi was an offensive minded coach. Your an idiot.

You can change your post and say your mistaken, but no...you never accepted the fact I evicerated it, you simply make another, rather more reasonab supposition. You don't have a clue how the pre-modern NFL worked since you were sperm swiming around in some hillbilly.

Maybe if you watched some tape you could catch a clue. It's painfully obvious that HE WASNT and OFFENSIVE COACH. He was a DEFENSIVE coach that lured teams cup to the line. Not much different. than strategy today.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I never said he was an offensive coach.

It's a pretty damn good question. Mock is working the kid over.

Hey Bob, would you consider Billick a defensive coach?

Just curious exactly how stupid you really are here. It appears that there's a ceiling, which is a good thing.

I doubt Billick would be proud of a team with a crappy defense, either. Saying Lombardi would be proud of the Broncos for winning 9-6 is a stretch. He wasn't opposed to good offense.

He's rather be 5-1 than 3-3, though.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.




Individual commitment to a group effort, that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.




The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.




Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.




If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?




In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.




The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.




It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.




The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.




Winners never quit and quitters never win.

I've never seen a drunken "cat lady" and a Star Trek geek fight before. Oops, I meant Star Wars geek.

That would be sweet.:egbgb:

[AlienBronco]

It will not change things a lotfor Jake, because teams wants Jake to stay in the pocket, if they rush the QB their is bigger chance of Jake escaping the pressure and moving the Offense with his legs.

On the other side, the RB will have a long day trying to run to the left side, and false start can become a problem due to new players on the OL.
