Official New Orleans Saints @ Broncos Game Thread 9.21.08

[Beantown Bronco]

Whatever happened to the zero blitz that killed people back in 2005? Can't hurt to try it a few times in the second half. Worst case, the defense gets off the field fast instead of slow and painfully.

wheres the fuggin pass rush sheesh

Our pass rush sucks d!ck

[Darkdoc]

Haven't had to say this all year, but this reflects really sh***ty coaching and preparation today. The decisions made smell badly.

[Bronx33]

How to piss away a lead in 15 minutes

[kappys]

Don't worry - they're saving Jarvis Moss for the 2nd half where he'll singlehandedly shut down the Saints offense.

On that note has anyone seen Jarvis on the field?

[Lolad]

why are we rushing 3 Defensive Lineman??? please.. please stop rushing with just 3. They have no deep offensive weapons but yet we are playing scared.

[2KBack]

I have to admit, the offense wasn't doing the defense any favors in the second quarter. The Defense scores a TD and saves a TD, the offense gives the ball right back on an INT and then gives up a safety.

[Rohirrim]

The three man rush might work with the Faiders but it's not going to work with Brees. He'll take your ass apart.

[2KBack]

Our pass rush sucks d!ck

can't even tell if that's true today. No one is going to get much of a rush when it's 5-6 blocking 3

[footstepsfrom#27]

Saints tracking towards 500 yards passing...lol

[Punisher]

can't even tell if that's true today. No one is going to get much of a rush when it's 5-6 blocking 3

Just rush four thanks alot shanny

[listopencil]

So...I wonder what Larry Coyer is up to these days.

[kappys]

Whatever happened to the zero blitz that killed people back in 2005? Can't hurt to try it a few times in the second half. Worst case, the defense gets off the field fast instead of slow and painfully.

Good call - or maybe the ol' 1 man front and instructions to hit any receivers who touch the ball as hard as possible in the hopes one pops up for an INT

[Denver724]

Three weeks in we have made every QB look like a Pro-Bowler. Is our run defense not the wink link anymore? Pass rush sucks.

[Odysseus]

I have no words.

A run play from your own goal line when a qb keeper would be the common sense play call.

Then this fantastic 3 man defensive front and no pressure.

Nobody was fooled by that play. They couldn't pull that play off dead in the middle of the field why call that crap when you are knee deep in the end zone?

The Broncos don't move the pile. They play juke and jive. Saints outscored the Broncos 16 -10.

Brees is 23 for 28 with zero interceptions. No pass rush.

Reggie Bush has more offense than all of our running back combined.

Brees is spreading the ball around more than Cutler.

[ElwayMD]

Our O has hardly been on the field...we'll be able to see if we made 2nd half adjustments real quick. We'll either see a 4 man front or we'll see 3 and know Brees is going to have time to take a nap and pick us apart with the short to mid completions.

[Rohirrim]

I'll be curious to see if Shanahan does any adjustments.

[Bronx33]

The three man rush might work with the Faiders but it's not going to work with Brees. He'll take your ass apart.


You would think with a 3 man rush we could cover the pass but sadly that isn't remotely true.

[kappys]

Cutler needs to take the asy yards on 1st down

[Bronx33]

I'll be curious to see if Shanahan does any adjustments.


Taking his head out of his a** could help.

[Harvitz81]

wow. 3 and out. nice/....

[2KBack]

Cutler has looked really off since the first couple series

[Beantown Bronco]

Can't remember the last time the Broncos looked good on the first offensive drive of the 3rd quarter. I'm talking years here....even when they had a good offense, the 3rd quarter always seemed to start off slow.

[Lolad]

we need a stop here..

[Natedog24]

Need to get Cutler into any sort of rhythm, right now he just looks out of it.

[RunSilentRunDeep]

Why don't they just punt on first down every time they start the 3rd quarter with he ball and save us the aggravation?

[ElwayMD]

WoW 4 men on the line...how insane!

[go_broncos]

Brees is owning us..

24/29 244 0 0

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Oh My God! A Punt!

[Lolad]

pressure... is that something to do with a 4 man front?

[Harvitz81]

Amazing what some pressure can do huh....

[Bronx33]

what hell happened?

[SoCalBronco]

excellent series by DJ

[ro_50]

I hope Slowik realizes you can't give a quarterback like Brees time to throw.

The guy will pick you apart.


That was a good first stand by the D in the quarter.

Lets see if it continues.

[Dagmar]

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk295/MagnificentEarwig/zy7rk6.jpg
We will still win.

[HEAV]

3 and out. Nice!

Have to get off the field on 3rd downs.

[ElwayMD]

3 and out? Welcome to a new era of Broncos football!!!

[2KBack]

wow, look what happens when you let your players attack. It's called a stop

[HEAV]

excellent series by DJ

Homer:clown: :wave:

[zdoor]

Moss and Dumerville with a little pressure finally

[Lolad]

what hell happened?

a 4 man rush happened... its amazing how that works

[spdirty]

doom is really busting up that LT.

OK Jay, no more stupid shlt. Lets go get 6.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Time to Scheffler to get his ass some action.

[Bronx33]

Now we need to put together a drive.

[SoCalBronco]

Homer:clown: :wave:

:)

Its true, though.

[Bronx33]

Time to Scheffler to get his ass some action.


Man i agree start a short game shanahan!

[HEAV]

Ya know Selving is averaging 6.0 yards per carry...

[Odysseus]

Brees is owning us..

24/29 244 0 0

9 different receivers. He's spreading the ball all over the place.

[kappys]

good call. Need a few quick outs to get Cutler back into a rythym

[Bronx33]

1st down

[HEAV]

:)

Its true, though.

;D Glad he got his deal. The U:thumbs:

[Beantown Bronco]

:)

Its true, though.

He's having a great game for sure.

[HEAV]

Jay...

[Bronx33]

wow interference?

[Beantown Bronco]

textbook roughing the passer

unreal

[HEAV]

3rd and 5

[HEAV]

Timeout

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

textbook roughing the passer

unreal

PI, too.

[Bronx33]

PI, too.

yep on sheffler.

[ElwayMD]

You know we aren't going to get any friendly calls after the gift we recieved last week

[HEAV]

Still averaging 6 yards per carry! Run baby run!

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

What the hell is up with Jay today?

[ElwayMD]

Cutler is way off since the 1st quarter...gotta settle him down.

[Bronx33]

uggg we got the gun out..

[spdirty]

man jay has really looked off since the first quarter

[kappys]

Cutler needs to check his blood sugar

[2KBack]

damn Cut, what is going on?

[davidtkd]

What the hell is up with Jay today? no crap. get that insulin check up going.

[HEAV]

What the hell is up with Jay today?

He rushed that throw.

[Bronx33]

Pi

[Odysseus]

Ya know Selving is averaging 6.0 yards per carry...

The trick is consistency. If Selvin got 6 yards every time he touched the ball he would be getting 100 yards per game.

The defense and running game need to carry Cutler from time to time because right now Cutler isn't hitting his targets for whatever reason.

The Broncos look like they are settling in.

[HEAV]

Pi!

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

PI or not, that pass was still terrible.

[spdirty]

thanks for the gift Jason David!

[HEAV]

That corner was over-matched

[Bronx33]

Damn Marshall

[Harvitz81]

you gotta catch that Marshall!!

[HEAV]

Take the under Jay!

[ElwayMD]

Dammit Cutler...he had 2 checkdowns wide open...he needs to take the safe pass!

[kappys]

Cutler needs to start grinding it a bit - going for too many big plays - just take what the defense gives you.

[Bronx33]

alright marshall way to make it up!

[Odysseus]

Take the under Jay!

Exactly!

[HEAV]

Graham was wide open!


Marsh help'n Jay out on that sideline pass

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

These are interceptions against better teams.

[Bronx33]

nice save cutler!

[HEAV]

Too much pass

[fontaine]

Are they not even going to try and run the ball?

WTF?

[Bronx33]

hall!!

[HEAV]

Run Run Run!

[Odysseus]

Nice run Andre!

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Those LBs are terrible. They smelled run, set up for it and Hall still got his.

[fontaine]

Nice run by Hall of fame. He damn owned that crease.

[ElwayMD]

These are interceptions against better teams.

They are int's if the QB doesn't have a gun.

[davidtkd]

Rumor has it we used to have a running game.

[HEAV]

Hall is at 5.3 per carry

[spdirty]

pass protection hasnt been worth a shlt today.

[Bronx33]

Are they not even going to try and run the ball?

WTF?

Iam glad to got away from running it on 2nd down it seems mik is able to mix it up some and get the D to start guessing.

[ElwayMD]

At least we are eating tons of clock on this drive.

[Bronx33]

td pitt!

[HEAV]

Flex!

[fontaine]

Quietiger called it. We gotta stick the with the run!!!

[Lolad]

good block HILLIS!

[davidtkd]

run baby run!

[ElwayMD]

TD Bettis Jr.!!!

[Dandaman]

nice block hillis!

[Harvitz81]

That was a nice drive right there!!

Should have rested our defense as well..

Let's go D!!!!!

[Natedog24]

Solid drive Denver, good to get the offense rolling again. I think we can really pound these guys with the run as this game goes on.

[HEAV]

Solid pickup in summer camp.

[Punisher]

Holla!

[spdirty]

yes! Great block by Clady! That drive was exactly what we needed!

[2KBack]

Fantastic block by Hillis

[Lolad]

Hillis blew up 2 guys on that play

[kappys]

Phew. Good long drive for the Broncos.

[Inkana7]

Hillis had a monster block on that play.

[ElwayMD]

Let's see if the D stays with the revolutionary new 4 man front.

[Bronx33]

Now the D has to play..:-/

[HEAV]

Quietiger called it. We gotta stick the with the run!!!

More than just Q where scream'n/typing that. ;D

[broncoblue]

nothing better than an orange rushing td

[Dagmar]

Is there something wrong with Jay?

[Lolad]

defense we need another stop.. lets get it done!

[HEAV]

Now the D has to play..:-/

3 and out X2?

[spdirty]

Prater is the ****ing man!

[ElwayMD]

Pleased to see that Prater is forcing touchbacks.

[fontaine]

Prater getting touchbacks as he should in mile high air.

[Lolad]

wow

[7 4ever]

Bly!!!

[Harvitz81]

that was quick....

[ro_50]

So much for the defense coming to play in the second half.

Lord all mighty.

[HEAV]

oops!

[spdirty]

F@ck you Manual!

[davidtkd]

So much for that.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Hmmmm...they show blitz and aren't smart enough to back off when they see they're outnumbered at the line. Result? Long Meachem reception.

Idiots.

I manage my defense better in Madden.

[fontaine]

ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO BLITZ?

Marcan't Manuel. At least the defense won't get tired staying too long on the field!!!!

[ant1999e]

We need to have the whole team rush the passer.

[davidtkd]

un-frackin-real

[ro_50]

M. Manual, why is he playing full-time, is Abdullah still injured?

Manual is a journeyman!!!!

[Lolad]

we can't stop anybodies passing attack.

[2KBack]

hooray for ****ty safties

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Brees

26/32 321

[HEAV]

We need to have the whole team rush the passer.

I think they just tried that...

[Harvitz81]

Our pass defense the past couple years has made every QB look like a pro-bowler.

At least when they score, their defense should be pretty tired and hopefully we can have a nice long drive again....

[NASurfer]

At least New Orleans burned a timeout. This defense if freaking bad though. I have no confidence in Slowik

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

At this rate, Denver will make Tyler Thigpen look like Brodie Croyle next week.

[HEAV]

Well just hope for 3.

[Odysseus]

Anybody at the Broncos game know how to play Safety?

[rmsanger]

I almost feel like our team is a sterile pornstar... We've got a large johnson to do the damage but teh jewels aren't working where it counts.

[Bronx33]

3 and out X2?

nope..

[ElwayMD]

It's hilarious...we are much improved on run D and can't freaking stop a pass play now because our safeties and nicklebacks are pathetic.

[Natedog24]

NEVER underestimate just how bad this defense is...

[ant1999e]

I think they just tried that...

I was joking.

[Bronx33]

chocolate cake

[Odysseus]

Might want to cover that Reggie Bush guy.

[Harvitz81]

2 stinkin plays. Our defense has to be the worst in the league....

[HEAV]

Saw that coming from ohio...

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Amazing.

If you didn't see that one coming, you're ****ing retarded. I could have told you what they were going to run before they even snapped it.

[ro_50]

That was easy. It's like Brees is playing in his backyard.

Brees is damn good.

Denver has the worst D in the league, period.

[Bronx33]

slowik is slow

[Punisher]

What The ****

[HEAV]

I was joking.

I wasn't :spit:

[ElwayMD]

guess we still don't want to spy Bush...w/e guess he has to gain over 200 yards before we think he's a factor.

[Bronx33]

Might want to cover that Reggie Bush guy.


I don't think slowik knows who he is.

[oubronco]

wtf ? does anybody on that defense have a fuggin clue

[NASurfer]

I bet Reggie Bush wishes he could play us every week.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Bettors-

I think you've already hit your over. Congratulations.

[ro_50]

Look at the grin that John Lynch had on his face. LMAO!!

Like, he could do anything out there!!

What? Daniel Graham pass interference.

This offense has to score on every position to win this game, just like last week.

[HEAV]

Lynch! Suit up!

[fontaine]

Anybody at the Broncos game know how to play Safety?

Marcan't sucked on that play but you can't hold 'em to it.

It's a fifty/fifty play every time no matter how good the safety is with an accurate QB like Brees. The problem the defense showed their blitz way too early and Brees just backpaddled to buy time and connect.

Sh*tty blitz and sh*tty execution.

[Bronx33]

f**** flag!

[footstepsfrom#27]

http://z.about.com/d/inventors/1/0/1/x/pinball_machine.jpg

[fontaine]

Good execution on the hot read by Cutler/Royal on the blitz.

[Bronx33]

marshall!

[HEAV]

That had some touch!

[fontaine]

Marshall!!!

This game is going to come down to whichever offense has the ball last.

[ro_50]

Another timeout taken, ehh, I don't like that!!

They only have one left to use in the 4th quarter, which will be tight!!!

[ElwayMD]

I don't see any CB that can stop Marshall...he's a freak of nature.

[fontaine]

I get the feeling the running game is just there to spell Marshall when he gets some air on the sidelines!!!

[Bronx33]

shanny mixin it up finally!

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Just need the defense to step up and make a stop or a turnover on one series. Is that asking too much?

[HEAV]

Run, run, tick, tick...

[Bronx33]

do not run it on 2nd down! sweet!

[Odysseus]

Hillis blew up 2 guys on that play

Hillis is an incredible pickup! :yayaya:

[HEAV]

Saints burned another time-out.

[Dagmar]

2008 Denver Broncos = reason for Rusty's heart attack.

[Bronx33]

almost

[HEAV]

See that a wasted play. No time, no yards, no score.

[Bronx33]

2008 Denver Broncos = reason for Rusty's heart attack.

I will split a room with ya LOL

[fontaine]

Good coverage by Mckenzie.

How the hell does Young not pick up that first? He's hardly been running. Lower that damn shoulder.

[Bronx33]

why

[Harvitz81]

nice conservative call there bates....good god. Throw the ball!!!

[HEAV]

See there should have been a playaction/bootleg

[Dagmar]

Damn damn damn.

One posession game.

[fontaine]

Elam who?

[ro_50]

Good drive, got 3. I'll take that.

[rmsanger]

FGs aren't good enough with this _efene

[spdirty]

Yeah! Prater is on my Fantasy Football team!

[Bronx33]

here comes your 2008 denver defense!!

[Harvitz81]

Yeah! Prater is on my Fantasy Football team!

F*** your fantasy team. We needed a TD there.

[oubronco]

well when they start settling for FG's it's over

[HEAV]

Hold our breath time...

[davidtkd]

Oskie

[Lolad]

everytime we put pittman they think we are going to run. Bootleg on a QB keep

[Bronx33]

cover that bush guy slowik

[broncoblue]

2008 Denver Broncos = reason for Rusty's heart attack.

balls!"!! that would be your deep fried mars bars and meat pies LOL

[HEAV]

Boss stuck'em!

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

3rd down.

Attention defense - LOOK FOR REGGIE BUSH.

[Bronx33]

here it comes slowk

[ElwayMD]

back to back nice tackles by Boss...

[fontaine]

Boss finally showing up.

[Bronx33]

short?

[Harvitz81]

Wow giving up a third down again.....sigh this defense is pathetic

[ro_50]

Seriously, can this team EVER get a third down stop?

[fontaine]

Good high percentage play by the saints.

[Bronx33]

nice

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Boy, that was a generous spot.

[oubronco]

you mean champ finally made a fuggin play ?

[HEAV]

I hate the white sock Champ.

[ElwayMD]

don't try and test Bailey...he's pissed after the SD game...actually keep throwing it Champ's way :)

[Bronx33]

here it comes slowik!

[spdirty]

k another long 3rd down. COME ON JARVIS AND DOOM!!!!!!

[oubronco]

don't try and test Bailey...he's pissed after the SD game...actually keep throwing it Champ's way :)

am i missing something ?

[kappys]

Moss sighting huh?

[HEAV]

Al-righty then... we start the 4th with a 3rd and 8.

[fontaine]

Pleased to see our run D showing up so far. If we can keep this up then I'll take it.

Not all teams have a high octane passing game like the Saints/Chargers!

[Bronx33]

Boy, that was a generous spot.


I thought it was short too.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

A stop here = win.

The offense will drive and score the next time out.

I think.

[Bronx33]

here it comes slowik!!

[Meck77]

I couldn't image all of us sitting in a room watching this game.

****! ****! mother****er! son of bitch! damnit! **** Slowik! This D blows! Bring back Elway! It's griese's fault! ****...****!

[Harvitz81]

A stop here = win.

The offense will drive and score the next time out.

I think.

Do you honestly have any faith that they will stop them...cause i don't

[ElwayMD]

am i missing something ?

That's the first time I've seen a ball thrown Champ's way this game.

[Bronx33]

god dammit!!!!!!!

[HEAV]

Holding

[Dagmar]

phuck!

[Harvitz81]

god another 3rd down give up.....

[HEAV]

****ty

[Dagmar]

Pink puppy belly?

[ro_50]

How did he get so wide open. Even w/ pressure, no one can't get to him.

Can Shanny fire a defensive coordinator during the season?

Bring back Greg Robinson!!

[HEAV]

Nice wrap on DJ.

[oubronco]

That's the first time I've seen a ball thrown Champ's way this game.

there hasn't been a fuggin player make a fuggin play yet

[fontaine]

Our safeties are ASS.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

You have to love Brees and his 80+% completion rate today

[ElwayMD]

someone decided to cover Bush, 3 quarters too late.

[Bronx33]

sigh

[Dagmar]

Has anyone mentioned our defense is terrible?

[Harvitz81]

defense is so fu king pathetic

[Killericon]

New Nickname for Denver's Defense: 2 Down Warriors?

[oubronco]

Our safeties are ASS.

the whole defense is ASS

[ElwayMD]

there hasn't been a fuggin player make a fuggin play yet

Hard for Champ to make a play when they only throw 1 ball his way through 3 quarters.

[NASurfer]

Started the day ranked 27th... and may actually drop... yuck

[ro_50]

It's like that one game years ago where Rich Gannon picked Denver apart.

This is the same thing.

Brees is a surgeon out there.

Lord, Nate Webster stinks as MLB.

[oubronco]

damn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
