Official Game Thread: Denver @ Arizona 12-17-06

[Sassy]

Dang it...what's the point of watching this team....

[Clockwork Orange]

Cutler floated one there and it's picked off.

Terrible start to the second half.

[broncosteven]

That was Jake like. A lame duck floater.

[eddie mac]

Cutler's 1st mistake picked off.

[bloodsunday]

That was gonna be rule #5 -- no more turnovers.

Wow we violated two rules in one drive.

[Clockwork Orange]

Marshall went inside, the ball went outside.

[bloodsunday]

Come on D bail us out. WE NEED THIS WIN!!!!

Let's go.

[eddie mac]

Slight blip, need the D to hold for 3 and nothing more.

[fido]

marshall just watched him pick that ball

[RMT]

2 TOs - time will tell how many points the INT may cost us.

[7 4ever]

A rookie QB being a rookie, that's all, this hurts, I still think we will be ok

[bloodsunday]

Marshall went inside, the ball went outside.

Either way there were 3 defenders.

[Clockwork Orange]

Champ got held like a mother****er on that run.

[broncosteven]

Come on D need to hold for only a FG.

[bloodsunday]

Man they were holding both Kenard and Champ on that play.

[Clockwork Orange]

Gotta hold 'em to 3 here.

[fido]

3rd and 2
go D

[Sassy]

Come on D bail us out. WE NEED THIS WIN!!!!

Let's go.

Good luck with that one.

[eddie mac]

Huge 3rd and 3 coming here. Fvcking D-Line is getting pushed back on every play.

[broncosteven]

big 3rd down!

[7 4ever]

Great D there!

[RMT]

good job, defense.

[Clockwork Orange]

Stuffed on 3rd down. Great penetration.

[bloodsunday]

That aboy Ian!!!!

Miss it.... Miss it...

[Blueflame]

Fourth down...

[broncosteven]

Thank-you D!

[fido]

nice

[eddie mac]

yes, great stuff, FG time.

[RMT]

kick that FG again ... time for a miss!

[fido]

1st penalty of the game

[Clockwork Orange]

Cool, holding penalty back 'em up.

[eddie mac]

Huge holding penalty on Cards. FG attempt from 50 now.

[Blueflame]

Holding... now Rackers has to try again from 10 yards farther back.

[Clockwork Orange]

No good!!

[fido]

sweet

[Sassy]

No good. Nice holding call!

[broncosteven]

Thank-you D!

Thank god for Rakers!

[7 4ever]

Ok, no points for the red birds!!! yes

[Blueflame]

Wide left

[eddie mac]

he missed, lucky break there, now no more mistakes and find a way to get the ground game working.

[bloodsunday]

Hoorrrayyyy.... Come on O, great field position now.

[Clockwork Orange]

The INT doesn't hurt them.

Good starting field position, let's march on them.

[SportinOne]

no harm no foul... just a blemish on the stat sheet for Jay.

[fido]

the D actually held...good job

[broncosteven]

We have great FPos now.

[bloodsunday]

Good luck with that one.

I'd call that a success :) But I hear what your saying.

[Natedog24]

That Holding/Miss FG was basically like a turnover for Arizona, now its time for the Broncos to take advantage of the good field position.

[eddie mac]

Tatum for 8 yds from Jay.

[Sassy]

Scheffler!

[Pendejo]

What a gorgeous f'ing pass.

[Blueflame]

Great pass to Sheffler

[eddie mac]

Scheff again for 29.

[broncosteven]

6 to 88

[fido]

Goooo SHEFF

[Clockwork Orange]

Cutler showing no ill effects from the INT. Another gorgeous throw to Scheffler.

[bloodsunday]

Nice answer to the pick. The guy is unflappable.

Now put it in the ****ing endzone!!!!!!!!!!

[Fedaykin]

This is why Cutler beats out Plummer anyday. He made a mistake, but comes back strong.

[Northman]

Just got back home, how are we looking?

[Pendejo]

They need to find their way into the endzone. No more field goals.

[Clockwork Orange]

The running game is going nowhere.

[fido]

run for a loss

[eddie mac]

Zona are killing our ground game.

[bloodsunday]

Man they are crashing down. Run the reverse will ya?!

[broncosteven]

Thing of Beauty!

[eddie mac]

Great catch 1st down Marshall.

[fido]

laser to marshall

[-Slap-]

I love those laser beams.

[7 4ever]

This guy has some arm...awesome

[Clockwork Orange]

Strike to Marshall for the first down.

How many 3rd downs has he converted today? Wow.

[Sassy]

1st down inside the ten!
LET'S GO! WE WANT A TD!

[Natedog24]

wow very nice pass

[Pendejo]

Fine catch by Marshall.

[eddie mac]

TO Denver

[-Slap-]

Please don't run the ****ing ball.

[Clockwork Orange]

Fade to Javon, right here. Come on.

[Pendejo]

Fade?

[Blueflame]

1st and goal but now they're taking a timeout

[fido]

red zone....can we please not run into the 8 man box?

[broncosteven]

Watching Broncos Football is fun again boys!

[bloodsunday]

Zona are killing our ground game.

They are. Shanny deserves credit for continuing to go back to it though. We are very balanced and they have to be at least a little honest. They probably should let one of those reverses go; but if you don't catch em in a blitz it could be a huge loss.

[-Slap-]

Strike to Marshall for the first down.

How many 3rd downs has he converted today? Wow.

That was number 11.

[eddie mac]

reverse inside the 10???

[Pendejo]

That was number 11.

Cripes...that's outstanding.

[broncosteven]

Please don't run the ****ing ball.

4 weeks ago I was pineing for 3 yards & cloud of dust with Wing T formation.

[Sassy]

Rod Smith Td!

[eddie mac]

TD Rod

[bloodsunday]

That's my mofo!

[fido]

sweet td

[Pendejo]

Bee-yoo-ti-full!!!!!

[7 4ever]

He's also accurate TD!!!

GO BRONCOS

[want2bAbronco2]

Marshall is going to be a freak. Read on denverbroncos.com that he said him and Jay want to spend there whole career here... and there goal is 100 TD together!

[Clockwork Orange]

TD to Rod!!

Great pump fake, perfect throw. Way to come back, kiddo!!

[Natedog24]

OMFG that was nice!!!!

[REB]

We have unbeielble experience happening here and THERE YA GO OLD MAN sMITH!

[Pendejo]

Slap...there's your two td's in 3 starts.

[fido]

Watching Broncos Football is fun again boys!

roger that ^5

[bloodsunday]

Wow since '91 only Cutler, Warner and Volek have 2 TDs in their first 3 starts.

[Northman]

TD Cutler!

[eddie mac]

Told you all the last pick was only a blip. This boy is fvcking awesome.

[want2bAbronco2]

Thats my boy! Jay is going to be so much fun to watch!

[Pendejo]

Marshall is going to be a freak. Read on denverbroncos.com that he said him and Jay want to spend there whole career here... and there goal is 100 TD together!

Just as long as they don't start tattooing their initials on their ankles.

[broncosteven]

I love the Rookie God.

[Northman]

TD to Rod!!

Great pump fake, perfect throw. Way to come back, kiddo!!



Its all about confidence man. Such a huge difference between him and Jake after turnovers.

[Blueflame]

It's amazing how nice it feels to see them put up 7 instead of settling for 3.

[Clockwork Orange]

Jake Plummer led the offense to more than 17 points 3 times in 11 starts.

Jay Cutler has done it 3 times in 3 starts.

[fido]

great way to come back from the int

[want2bAbronco2]

3 Qbs since 91....thats pretty sweet. Cinny should let him get 2 as well.

[7 4ever]

Wow since '91 only Cutler, Warner and Volek have 2 TDs in their first 3 starts.

Not the greatest company there though, but I'll take it :notworthy

[Northman]

Can we say hello to a passing game finally? Its all upside from here on out with Jay improving week to week.

[bloodsunday]

Feels a little like the old days -- ATTACKING a D.

If you wanna sell out against the run, we'll take the TE all day.

Nice run back Arrington. You sure you don't return kicks for Denver lol.

[OrangeShadow]

this game better be on NFL replay.

[Clockwork Orange]

I'm seeing Pro Bowls, All-Pro teams and a lot of money in Jay Cutler's future.

[bloodsunday]

Not the greatest company there though, but I'll take it :notworthy

Warner was a Super Bowl MVP. I'll take that.

I think the greatness of it is those who haven't made it.

[fido]

Its all about confidence man. Such a huge difference between him and Jake after turnovers.

bingo :thumbsup:

[SportinOne]

JCUTL stock started to nose dive after that pick.. guess what's going to happen now?

i love it.. i bought in low and he's going to keep driving that thing higher.

[Blueflame]

C'mon, Defense!!!

[fido]

the difference on the field between cutler and leinart is palpable

[broncosteven]

It is amazing to watch this kid's pocket presence in only his 3rd NFL game.

Sure he is doing it vs the Cards but they are still NFL caliber competition.

I was worried about his presence, accuracy, & ability to lead the O. Looks like after these 3 long drives that the O believes in him. Cutler has been deadly accurate on all but a couple passes & even those he threw where only his guy could get it.

[Blueflame]

I think Leinart needs to "test" Champ again... :devil:

[fido]

sack

[Blueflame]

Leinart pays the price

[Clockwork Orange]

Sacked!!

[Fusionfrontman]

Warren?! who is...oh yeah..i remember him! the guy we blew a ton of money for and has done squat...awesome! first sack of the season?>

[Pendejo]

Dammit.

[bloodsunday]

decent pressure, but they gotta close in faster.

[Clockwork Orange]

Boldin found the hole in the zone on that one.

[Blueflame]

I thought I saw some holding on that last play... LOL

[-Slap-]

We're getting pressure, but they're completing passes anyway.

[fido]

i absolutely hate playing soft D......too much like the prevent D

[Clockwork Orange]

Leinart isn't even looking in Champ's direction.

[Blueflame]

Hehehe... Cardinals have to burn a timeout in order to avoid the delay of game penalty

[Pendejo]

The Eagles are up on NY 14-10.

[Northman]

A turnover here would be awesome right about now. Come on D!

[broncobum6162]

Wouldn't it be nice to see our defense actually make a stand after we score for a change?

[Fusionfrontman]

Oskie Karma...? come on!

[fido]

dear santa, can i please get a running back for my team. please santa, try not to let shanny take a flyer again, have him draft quality.

sincerely, fido

[Sassy]

We need another champ sighting!
LET'S GO "D"!

[broncosteven]

dear santa, can i please get a running back for my team. please santa, try not to let shanny take a flyer again, have him draft quality.

sincerely, fido

They are keying run 1st pass 2nd.

I want a Dline for xmas

[Blueflame]

A stop here would be nice

[Sassy]

Fumble...

[Pendejo]

Leinart got it back.

[Clockwork Orange]

Sacked by Engelberger. ****ing lucky ass Leinart Cardinals pounce on it again.

[fido]

edge has been held in check

[Blueflame]

Leinart was very lucky to get that fumble back

[Pendejo]

Phew.

[Sassy]

Caught and dropped...wilson and Bailey covered.

[fido]

we escaped that one

[Clockwork Orange]

Wow. Should have been sacked, should have been caught. In the end it's an incompletion.

Dumervil with great pressure again.

[broncosteven]

Isn't that holding?

[Fusionfrontman]

They are keying run 1st pass 2nd.

I want a Dline for xmas

I wannt a mistress....for christmas lol
i have hated that song for years but i gave it another shot today and its so funny and catchy i kinda love it. i just want a Superbowl for Christmas

[Clockwork Orange]

Damn, Elvis. You gotta wrap him up on those, big guy.

Good pressure, though. I'll take that.

[Clockwork Orange]

Held them to 3. Defense stiffened when they needed to.

[Pendejo]

Sweet.

[Clockwork Orange]

Redemption for Quincy Morgan!!

[broncosteven]

About time we get a great return with no flags!

[Blueflame]

Nice runback by Morgan

[fido]

did i just see a run back?

sweet

[Sassy]

Ok...who was bitchin' about Morgan! ;D

[Clockwork Orange]

Hard running by Mike Bell for 8 yards.

[fatcard]

finally! a good return

[Blueflame]

Mike Bell's getting some tough yards

[Clockwork Orange]

Ok...who was b****in' about Morgan! ;D

:::sheepishly raises hand::::

;D

[broncosteven]

Pound it & give me another 7!

[Sassy]

COME ON JAY!
Let's Go Broncos!!!

[Fedaykin]

I thought it was a rule our runbacks couldn't go past the 20? What's the deal?


;-)

[Blueflame]

Sweet... ram it down their throats on the ground

[fido]

mike bell running with authority

[broncosteven]

Pinch it inside, don't spread it outside.

[Clockwork Orange]

Get 7 here and they've got this game by the balls.

[Sassy]

Give It To Walker!

[SportinOne]

Champ was covering Boldin on that last play. We had our MLB, Al Wilson, covering Bryant. Again, Bailey's presence makes a difference.

Wow, Morgan looks worth a crap for once...


We are seeing some things in this game that this team has been missing for a long long time.

Good field position
good kick returns
converting 1st downs in long chains, and this is the biggest thing we have missed
biting on short routes.. i saw it, at least once, i saw it!
also, have we punted yet at all?

[Los Broncos]

We need a td here, no excpetions!

[Fedaykin]

I just realized our punter hasn't entered the field today.

[Pendejo]

I just realized our punter hasn't entered the field today.

Good. He sucks.

[cabronco]

Mike Bell looks quicker going around the outside than Tatum. Maybe Tatums not 100%

[Fusionfrontman]

**** punters! hell save money by not going out next yr and getting a real punter when we constantly score on offense! problem solved! right?

[Pendejo]

What a hoss.

[Clockwork Orange]

Some hard running on the QB draw, close to the 1st down.

This kid is tough as a 25 cent steak.

[Fedaykin]

Good. He sucks.

Indeed.

[fido]

cutler on the run

[Clockwork Orange]

1st & goal!!

[Sassy]

We need a td here, no excpetions!

OR INTERceptions ;D
Mike Bell...1 and goal at the one!

[fido]

1st and goal

[broncosteven]

love the fact the team has not quit & are smashing people in the mouth

[Sassy]

Mike Td!

[Clockwork Orange]

TD Mike Bell!!

[Blueflame]

Mike Bell to paydirt

[Pendejo]

That will work.

[-Slap-]

Some hard running on the QB draw, close to the 1st down.

This kid is tough as a 25 cent steak.

Nimble, too. That was nice hurdle of Hamilton.

[Los Broncos]

**** yeah!!!!

[fido]

Td

[OrangeShadow]

Td Bell!!!!!!

[SportinOne]

kabash

[Pendejo]

Maybe Plummer will get some mop up duty.

[Blueflame]

I'm liking what I've seen from the offense today

[fido]

126 rushes and 1 td

interesting stat there

[Natedog24]

30-13, now that is more like it

[Clockwork Orange]

Someone remind me how this team has quit because Jay Cutler is the QB.

[Sassy]

Domination!

[OrangeShadow]

time for the D to step up

[spdirty]

Mike Bell looks quicker going around the outside than Tatum. Maybe Tatums not 100%

maybe Tatum needs to get traded for a draft pick.

[fido]

3 and out would be nice for the d

[Clockwork Orange]

Look at Champ running up into traffic to make the tackle.

There's nothing he doesn't do.

[Northman]

Someone remind me how this team has quit because Jay Cutler is the QB.


I do think there was a lack of motivation the last couple of weeks. But as Jay shows them he can do what they expect they get more confidence as well. I believe we can still make a push for the playoffs. Just need to keep winning and playing like we have right now. I know the Cards are scrubs but this is a confidnece builder if we can finish this out like this. :strong:

[Los Broncos]

Maybe Jake takes over late in this game?

[Sassy]

In_com_plete!!!

[Clockwork Orange]

Cox with the nice break on the ball and the deflection.

[Blueflame]

Nice defensive play by Cox

[7 4ever]

One more TD and we can send our 2nd stringer QB to get some reps :~ohyah!:

[fido]

maybe Tatum needs to get traded for a draft pick.

definately something to ponder

[Clockwork Orange]

Arizona had won 3 of 4 coming into this game. The Broncos had struggled against teams like Cleveland and Oakland earlier in the season. I'm not buying it.

[fido]

fitzgerald is a heck of a reciever

[Pendejo]

Nice hit.

[Blueflame]

Nique absolutely flattened Leinart

[Clockwork Orange]

The D-line is getting some good pressure in this 2nd half.

[fido]

do the broncos even have a penalty?

[SportinOne]

Is there any reason we couldn't do this to San Diego if we had to play them again?

I mean, offensively.

They will be tough to handle on D, but that's not the issue.

[Blueflame]

IN-Com-plete

[fido]

2nd and long

[Pendejo]

Leinart is pretty scrappy.

[Clockwork Orange]

Broncos doing a solid job of downfield coverage.

[Sassy]

Come On D!

[Clockwork Orange]

Fumble!! Broncos got it!!

[Sassy]

Denver Ball!
Dumervil Pressure!!!

[Blueflame]

The ball's out... we have it

[fido]

tuck rule

[Clockwork Orange]

Scratch that. Tuck rule. It'll be overturned.

[minibronco]

Oooosssskkkkiiiiieeee!

[Blueflame]

Yeah, the tuck rule will probably come into play here

[REB]

You gotta LOVE IT!

Except for the pass rush.......and Fox looks better then DWill. At least at the moment.

[Natedog24]

Even if they overturn it is 4th down...

Worse field position only means more yards for Cutler and more time run off of the clock.

[Sassy]

Ekuban fumble?

[broncosteven]

The tuck rule makes no sense.

[Clockwork Orange]

The pass rush has actually been pretty good today. Leinart hasn't had all day to sit back in the pocket.

[cabronco]

I like how Foxworth is playing today.

[Blueflame]

It'll be 4th and 6 even if it falls under the tuck rule...

[Pendejo]

Probably the proper call.

[Clockwork Orange]

Gotta stop 'em here.

[OrangeShadow]

i agree,that rules gay

[7 4ever]

Argh, tuck rule should only apply to the Raiders :chairhit:

[fido]

go chuk

[Pendejo]

The pass rush has actually been pretty good today. Leinart hasn't had all day to sit back in the pocket.

He's done a good job escaping.

[Blueflame]

Are they gonna go for it on 4th down?

[broncosteven]

Come on D!

[Pendejo]

Dammit.

[Sassy]

Dang it...Fitz. 1st down.
COME ON D!

[Blueflame]

Dammit... we let 'em convert on 4th

[fido]

gotta hate the prevent D

[Clockwork Orange]

Zone defense expolited again.

[OrangeShadow]

D needs to seriously step up
