I certainly haven't seen that...
I've seen some say he wasn't the problem and the 20 million would've improved the team more at different positions, but that's from claiming Peyton and Tim are even in the same stratosphere. Maybe you guys are too sensitive? |

Ok let's venture there....I'm curious which FA's would these guys have signed had we not signed Manning and kept Tebow...and do you truly think the end result would have been different?

How many millions are the Broncos under the cap right now? I know it was posted before but I can't find it.
Edit,. Nevermind. I found the answer. Last edited by menonite; 10-08-2012 at 06:39 PM.. |

If Willis keeps both hands on the ball on that last run, which is how he started out the run with the ball totally wrapped up, we get 7 on that drive for sure, and had a VERY good chance for an on-sides kick recovery based on doing so well at that the last few years since Prater has been kicking them. We get that onsides kick back when down only 3 and there is no way BRady gets the ball back and no way the Pats were stopping Manning and company at that point. It took US to stop ourselves, even after the terrible 3rd down production on defense and the monster rush yards allowed. We still made a real game of it! That is something to build on and few, if any, other teams on our schedule will be able to run the no-huddle with the speed and efficiency as we saw Brady run it at home last night. Brees and NO might come close on offense, if we make no improvements in coverage and pressure on 3rd downs by then, though no doubt we will. However, that game is at Mile High, not the Superdome and their defense is a true sieve. We do need to take care of business next Monday night and go into the bye in sole possession of first place in the division, having the tie breaker San Diego. In any event, these clowns on the mane now that are b****in' and moanin' like the little pussies they so obviously are, are meaningless and contribute little of value here in any event. Don't pay them any attention at all .. that's what 'ignore' is for. We could add a rule that if a given relative newbie poster earns a certain large number of 'ignores' from the bulk of long time loyal OMers, then they are toast. That might be one way to deal with the more obvious and obnoxious little whiners? But otherwise, just ignore them and they will shrivel up and blow away to greener pastures at some point.

Virtually none. It was a free-agent exodus before Manning came on board (Lloyd, Royal, Bunkley, Larsen, Fells)

I just stay away from this place after a loss. I let the trolls have their fun do and cherry pick the threads I read. Usually by thursday you can come in and talk football and I hope for a Broncos' victory on Sunday that usually gets rid of the trolls for the most part.

Guys like Tulloch/Lofton would've been a huge upgrade to our largest area of need. Then you have All-Pros who are the tops of their positions in weak areas for Denver with Carl Nicks and Reggie Wayne. You could've gotten all three of the above AND Michael Bush for Peyton's price tag. To me, Peyton is the GOAT and I've defended him against accusations of: - ****ty teammate that throws his OL under the bus - Only wants money - Can't win the big one Etc. ...but I can see the Devil's Advocate argument for sure. Especially at this age. We don't have time to gel. A QB who's closer to 40 than 30 means "Win now" and we're still 2-3 regardless of how rough our competition has been. |

Nearly all of us wanted a MLB. I would say that the $4M/yr they gave Mays would say that the $5.5M/yr that Lofton and Tulloch got wasnt out of the price range (ie due to Manning). They just thought that Mays was a better value... and were DEAD wrong Last edited by Jekyll15Hyde; 10-08-2012 at 09:54 PM.. |

Good theory HOWEVER as some can attest, I rather enjoy having the Broncos in Denver, in fact I'm visiting at the end of the month for the Saints game. If you've ever been there, you would understand that I would go to Denver any day of the week over Winnipeg. That and I think AmericanBroncoFan is an A-Class troll and is really KCDud in disguise from when he was banned. |

I don't like it when someone calls "Champ" as "Chump," but it's editorial. More than the editorial, however, I'd like to see more analysis of why a fan would editorialize as such - and to that end, I've asked him to do so. My first instinct is not to ban for editorial - but at some point empty editorializing becomes trolling. So we'll see... Discussions aren't typically about everyone agreeing with each other. |

I don't even have to use the function. I just ignore them. Easy enough. You just skip over their posts.

Calling Champ "lazy for the last 4-5 years" was the most ignorant statement I have ever read on this board. When you don't get thrown at except 2-3 times a game and still have the mental makeup to stay in the game on every play Champ would never be called lazy by anyone with .001 % of football IQ. I would have banned him just on that comment alone. That to me is "empty editorizing" and adds zero value to the board |
