Official Broncos @ Bills Game Day Thread 9/9/07

[Orange_Beard]

Keep mixing up the plays
Plently of time for some runs

[Cito Pelon]

2 minute drive to win, I love to see this. You find things out right now.

[HEAV]

Run, Run, Playaction, Run, Run, Screen... repeat, repeat.

pound these guys their tired as hell.

[NASurfer]

This offense has moved the ball. Special teams really killed us so far. Elam needs to pull his **** together.

[Wes Mantooth]

double da@nit on that play!

[Broncojef]

Elam is horrible today

And yet if he gets another shot he can still be the hero.

[Sassy]

Just be calm guys...
Henry 1st down.
Holding damn it.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Way to blow the game Jay

[-Slap-]

We're toast.

[Seamus]

Gee, when was the last time a Denver game went to the last couple minutes.

[Broncojef]

Having flash-backs of Plummer for some reason.

[Atwater His Ass]

this is just comical. it's going to be a long year. we may make the playoffs when it's all said and done, but a super bowl caliber team this is not.

[Wes Mantooth]

Jay is still a rookie.

[NASurfer]

I can't believe how the O is folding. :(

[Sassy]

2 and 12
COME ON OFFENSE!
Cut slipps...lateral...yikes.

[Atwater His Ass]

another low snap by nalen. big 4th down coming up.

[Broncojef]

Run, Run, Playaction, Run, Run, Screen... repeat, repeat.

pound these guys their tired as hell.

Shanny and Company missed that opportunity a long long time ago.

[Sassy]

3 and 23 :(

[-Slap-]

Phenomenal that Javon held onto that football. What a man.

[Atwater His Ass]

keep in mind walker will be out for this 4th down. he'll have to miss at least 1 play due to his injury.

[Sassy]

GO JAVON! 2 yards shy...flat on his back...
:(

[Broncojock]

You find things out right now.


Some things are better left unknown :thought:

[Atwater His Ass]

i didn't like that call, but you could see it coming.

[Sassy]

Walking to the sideline under his own power...thank God.

[HEAV]

Empty back field... I hate empty backfield.

[footstepsfrom#27]

We should have beat this team by at leat 2 TD's, but the new problems...same as the old problems.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

How about we don't play just to get Jason to the 34?

[Orange_Beard]

Where are our great TE's?

[Atwater His Ass]

elam's target is not the 34 yard line for this game at least. we need to be inside the 30 for him to have a shot today.

[Sassy]

Show some guts guys!
QB run...nice job by Pears.
No Huddle.

[-Slap-]

Jay is all man. He just needs to realize that he can take a sack once in a while. Especially behind this line. Shovel passes and the like to try and cheat defenses out of sacks is like juggling nitroglycerine. You might get away with it, but it's not worth the risk.

[HEAV]

Shanny is killing me with these play calls. Hit these guys with a playaction!

[Popps]

Stokley.

[Atwater His Ass]

every shotgun snap is low. every one. cutler has to take his eyes off the play to get the ball and it's affecting his reads. c'mon nalen, you're no rook. snap the goddam ball.

[Sassy]

LET'S GO BRONCOS!
Dang...settle down Jay.

[Ogi]

Man My Heart is beating like crazy please............................................ ........

[Seamus]

Wow, this is getting too close right now. Denver football at its best.

[HEAV]

Walker! Wow, Wow, Wow....................................Holy ****. Heater thrown at him.

[Swedish Extrovert]

Run it down their ****ing throat

[Sassy]

Walker 1st down!
MONEY!

[HEAV]

Walker Walker Walker!

[NASurfer]

Omg!!!!!

[Broncojock]

Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss

[Atwater His Ass]

Unbelievable!

Omfg

[Ogi]

OMFG ELAM ROCKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>you haters get out

[Sassy]

[Broncojef]

F$uck Yeah Boys!!!!!~

[Swedish Extrovert]

[Sassy]

38 seconds...

[Seamus]

Holly mackeral batman, that isn't the way I would have planned it!

[HEAV]

wow!

[-Slap-]

Jason Elam and Jay Cutler, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JAY CUTLER, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wes Mantooth]

woooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meck77]

WOW....I'm heading to the bar to collect my bet against the local Bills fan bartender!

SEE YOU GUYS IN DENVER WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

[Sassy]

Jason Is Our Hero!

[Atwater His Ass]

WHERE ARE THE ELAM HATERS NOW? WHERE ARE YOU ****ERS?

elam knew it was good as soon as he hit it. good stuff.

[cabronco]

Oh hell yeah !!

[broncoblue]

****ing beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuaty

[eddie mac]

OMG what a team effort to pull the win out. Unbelieveable by Cutler, Walker, Special Teams and Elam getting that kick off in 10 seconds.

[Broncos_OTM]

WIN WIN WIN!!!! THe stretch is broke!!

[Seamus]

Well, I don't know about you, but that was one heck of a drive to end the game on, go home with and start the rest of the season!

[ScottXray]

WOW! we haven't won when Elam has missed for about 3 years///

FANTASTIC FINISH.

[SnowGoose77]

Wooooooooo! Holy cow. Heart Attack. What am I missing, why didn't they spike it? Oh well, opening game curse lifted.:thumbsup:

[Sassy]

Brandon Marshall...Player of the game!

[HEAV]

First place in the AFC West!

[brncs_fan]

Cutler #1 in passsing yards thus far for week 1

[Sassy]

Nice job by the Broncos to pull it out!
Gotta love Jason kicking in Buffalo at the end of the game!
WAY TO START THE SEASON BRONCOS!

[Headless Hessian Rider]

a win is a win is a win :-)

[Arkie]

I have to admit that I didn't have the same confidence I was used to with Elway back there, but Cutler got it done. 4th quarter comeback, game-winning drive. Maybe a new legend was born.

[Wes Mantooth]

That was amazing. I retract prior cursings at Elam.

[Swedish Extrovert]

I think we should have drafted Mason Crosby

[ShutDownPoster]

AWESOME!!!

Nice game all around, though not perfect.

-DJ up the middle for a sack

-Lynch up the middle for a sack

-DOOOM with thye INT,

-Elam with the last second FG!

This kind of thing builds character, and team effort. woo hoo!!

[bpc]

Wow... i still haven't caught my breath. Sorry to go MIA... i had to do anything I wasn't doing before because of supersticion.

[broncoblue]

jesus my throat is hurting hahahahaha

[REB]

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! Way to go guys!

Gotta always KEEP THE FAITH baby!

Some peeps may jump back on the wagon now :rofl:

[Natedog24]

Man what a win, Jay sure showed some moxy on that last drive. Even with the mistakes today, the more I see him the more I think that has what it takes to not only be an NFL qb, but a great NFL QB. Going to be lots of fun seeing him grow up some more this year.

[Arkie]

Oakland, you're next!

[DeusExManning]

Wow

[bpc]

I have to admit that I didn't have the same confidence I was used to with Elway back there, but Cutler got it done. 4th quarter comeback, game-winning drive. Maybe a new legend was born.

DAMN MAN, its going to be a crazy season! Jay is going to make me love and hate him some times!

We had to wait three years for Plummer to try and deliver a victory from the jaws of defeat... its taken Jay 6 games.

[REB]

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! Way to go guys!

Gotta always KEEP THE FAITH baby!

Some peeps may jump back on the wagon now :rofl:

[55CrushEm]

First of all....my throat is hurting, too Broncoblue....I'm hoarse right now.

But now that I've calmed down a little....I have a question.....

Right before the FG.....Javon's catch was for the FIRST DOWN!! Since the offense was already on the field, why didn't we spike the ball....so that we could take our time with the FG on a second down???????

Don't get me wrong....I'm psyched with the win....but rather than rush the FG unit on.....we had a 1st down....we should've spiked it....still would've had 2 or 3 seconds left.

Hey, it worked out....but we ran that FG as if we were on a 4th down.....

[OrangeShadow]

I had the gamecast going on my phone on the way home, so excited we won. Now im just waiting on the torrent seeing as how i was working from 6:30-4

[Lestat]

Wow, just wow
Cut is gonna make me have several heart attacks this year & i'm too young for that

nice to see Marshall step up a bit & the defense looks alot better(granted it was a semi crappy offense)

[NASurfer]

Man what a win, Jay sure showed some moxy on that last drive. Even with the mistakes today, the more I see him the more I think that has what it takes to not only be an NFL qb, but a great NFL QB. Going to be lots of fun seeing him grow up some more this year.

It kicks ass he's already an effective QB. Looking forward to seeing him get better and better. That's gotta scare other teams.:thumbsup:

[bpc]

470 yds of offense. Its been awhile since we've seen that in Denver!

I don't know why they didn't spike the ball either. I thought they were taking their sweet ass time to the line to spike the ball but then they were lining up the FG team.

Thank goodness it worked!

[RMT]

just when i think i've seen it all ... what an exciting game!

my brother and dad were at the game - in the endzone where the winning kick was made - WOW!

[SDBroncos]

wow what a game my heart is still pounding great game yall heres to beating Oakland next week ....Go Broncos!

[REB]

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! Way to go guys! I need a 2nd BP pil now though :)

Gotta always KEEP THE FAITH baby!

Some peeps may jump back on the wagon now :rofl:

[ScottXray]

That was amazing. I retract prior cursings at Elam.


I also retract criticism of Elam...with the proviso that we need more TD's.

Jay leads the league in pass yardage...and he probably made more dumb mistakes than anyone else too. Young made a great (non-rookie) play slapping the ball out! Just WIN baby, to steal a phrase....

Jays 1st 4th quarter comeback to WIN the game ...he had several to tie last year, then D gave up the games.

Walker-Cutler made the play of the game, to keep the drive alive.

Ian Gold should be history after this game. He sucked BIG.

Henry ran well but there was never any consistency to the offense.

Overall a good START!:thumbsup: :~ohyah!: !Booya!








I hope I survive this year ...I'm 58 and eat too much fatty food...Jay is gonna give my heart a workout , I'm afraid.

[Wes Mantooth]

Cutler #1 in passsing yards thus far for week 1

He is also leading all QB's named Cutler.

[Bronco Bob]

Amazing finish. Of course if Elam had made one of the two he missed previously
it might not have come down to that. But in the end he redeemed himself
and showed why he's still on the team.

[CHANGSTER]

Maybe they figured, Go run on the field and kick the ball without thinking, rather than having him line up and think about his misses. Thats what I thought anyways.

[RMT]

i can't recall the Broncos ever getting 470 yards and scoring a measley 15 points ...

the special teams' play HAS to improve - today was more of the same from our special teams. hopefully, their play improves ... it sure was strange not seeing DW back on punt returns - he is certainly missed.

[RMT]

perhaps by running on the field, the Broncos prevented the bills from getting their FG defense on the field and perhaps catch them with 12 men on the field. it kept them from getting organized.

Yep...Shanahan said they should have had 30-40 points with that offense!

RIVERS IS DOWN! SMACK!

I believe the score is proof we need as many preseason games as we have. They just look rusty.

Very good point. As soon as Javon caught the ball for the 1st down....I was screaming "SPIKE THE BALL !! SPIKE THE BALL !!"

Hey, as I said it worked out.....and now matter how bad or good we look, I'll take a ROAD win any day.....:thumbsup:

[DarkHorse30]

we're going to hang like 400+ yards on these guys and lose 14-13.

Thank you for the best reverse jinx I've ever witnessed:thumbsup:

[brncs_fan]

Maybe they were thinking Buffalo would call a TO to get their own people out there.

[Cito Pelon]

The staff made the right decision to get the FG team out there. They didn't know if the first down was made or not. If the clock was stopped for a first down, they would have been fine. There was no guarantee the O could have spiked the ball in time if in fact the first down was not made. They made a snap decision.

The whole team though better not figure that was their Superbowl. You enjoy this one on the first part of the flight home, the last part of the flight home you critically review your failures and plan on correcting them fast. All those yards and few points, you have some work to do. Hixon is barely catching the ball on returns. Huge gaps on opposing returns. Henry took himself out of the game on the game winning drive, I'll save judgement on that.

[summerdenver]

I don't know why they didn't spike the ball either. I thought they were taking their sweet ass time to the line to spike the ball but then they were lining up the FG team.



Personally i liked the call. It seemed like it took even Buf by surprise and did not give them time to come with a wrinkle to block the kick (like they did on Elam's second miss where they lined up a player wide of everyone.)

[baja]

Maybe they figured, Go run on the field and kick the ball without thinking, rather than having him line up and think about his misses. Thats what I thought anyways.

I think the decision was made before they ran the first down play to kick right away so as to not wonder in it was a first down or not and run out of time. Eliminate the extra decision

[crawdad]

Incredfible that we even had the chance to kick again. I think our special teams really needs alot of work. Our defenders need to learn how to tackle low. Trying to take Marshawn Lynch by the shoulder pads is ridiculous.

[cutback]

the play before the fg was 3rd and 10, so they decided before the play to run the fg team on the field, since they very well could have ended up short on the 3rd down play. the stats show walker with an 11 yd catch, thus getting the 1st down by a yard or so.

great win.

[Paladin]

I had wondered if anyone else saw Bly and Gold trying to tackle by bear hugs. That is high school crap.....

[Cool Breeze]

hopefully nalen starts hiking the ball a litle higher

[Atwater His Ass]

There are a lot of issues on this team. However, we should enjoy this win for what it is. A hard opening day road win. I'll take it and hope we can get better this week and improve our trouble areas.

The offense played well except for Cutler's Plummer like mistakes (which should go away as the season progresses) and the inability for us to score in the redzone, or even continue to move the ball once we get inside the opponents 40 yard line.

Defense looked pretty damn good for the most part. Buffalo had something like 9 possesions, 6 punts, a pick, a missed FG, and a TD. That's a pretty good team defensive effort.

Special teams were terrible. Kick/punt coverage was awful. I wasn't impressed with Hixon returning. Elam was shaky. This unit scares me with it's ability to lose games for us.

We also ran 72 plays to Buffalo's 49. Outside of the scoreboard, we dominated this game. Just need to turn that domination into points.
