Positives to take from today´s game - The Orange Mane

Jens1893 · 09-23-2007, 08:15 PM

Before we all go and drown in our own river of tears, maybe we can try to cheer ourselves up a little in this thread. I´m disappointed and frustrated as hell myself, but you can learn from every loss. So post what you LIKED about today´s game here and try to keep the negativity out, please.

1) Brandon Marshall is a beast and will be a very nice WR for us for a long time to come. He had some excellent plays and can make a big play out of nothing.

2) Jason Elam didn't miss any FGs

broncogary · 09-23-2007, 08:18 PM

Our defense didn't get their uniforms dirty.

RhymesayersDU · 09-23-2007, 08:18 PM

But seriously, saw a lot of good stuff from Cutler. Brandon Marshall, man I can't wait for next year. I'm not saying that I think this year is over, but I think next year, 2 years from now, we're going to have an explosive offense with Cutler really improving with Marshall and Walker running routes.

Dagmar · 09-23-2007, 08:18 PM

Jay Cutler.
Brandon Marshall.

Ray Finkle · 09-23-2007, 08:19 PM

Young has a chance to be very explosive as a 3rd back.....if he could only hold onto that pesky ball....

BMF Bronco · 09-23-2007, 08:20 PM

cutler still looks better every week

Broncosfreak_56 · 09-23-2007, 08:20 PM

1. B-Marsh, obviously. He is the best wide receiver on our team. Yes, I know.

2. Doom. Another 2 sack/ff/fr momentum changing game for him. If only he was 4 inches taller.

Yep. I have been happy with our offense for the most part. I think our OL needs to be more physical to run on a team like Jax, but all in all our O could be scary good by season's end. Cutler, Walker and Marshall could be a great trio to build around. I hope we can hang on to Stokley as well as he seems to fit that slot/3rd down role as well as anyone we have had around here.

I also think Dumerville is countinuing to impress. I don't think he can be an every down player, but he's the lone playmaker on our DL.

Our O is going to be O.K. if our D doesn't stay on the field for 40 minutes a game.

Turf Shaman · 09-23-2007, 08:25 PM

Agree with the Cutler and Marshall nomination. They're going to be amazing together for a long time.

Wes Mantooth · 09-23-2007, 08:29 PM

our front seven sucks. Oh wait, that's not good

SonOfLe-loLang · 09-23-2007, 08:30 PM

Bwahahahahaha

The only real positive I got from this whole days is that the Burgers and Brats turned out fantastic to go along with the Beer and my Bi..er Wife.

backup qb · 09-23-2007, 08:33 PM

Jay Cutler
I can't believe how much confidence I have in Cutler. I really thought he would struggle more than he has. There have been moments, but overall, he seems to be in complete control.

Sassy · 09-23-2007, 08:33 PM

Where was my man Javon today?

BMF Bronco · 09-23-2007, 08:34 PM

he had a catch

Cutler has some growing pains and makes poor decisions sometimes, but he has no fundamental flaws that can´t be fixed with experience and/or coaching.

Odysseus · 09-23-2007, 08:46 PM

The Broncos didn't lose in their orange uniforms so those are officially off the hook. We didn't play in the hideous old school uniforms. That was appreciated.

We are definitely finding out what our weak spots are.

There will be zero press coverage about the big Manning versus Cutler game.

Bowlen has a reason to lower beer prices and parking.

Might be more tickets avaialble at the next game.

Don't have to worry about playoff talk all season long.

Any illusions of Super bowl should be gone.

We get to see what our fans are made of....in a hurry.

Javon was victim of what I call the "LW20 Effect."

When a team has a great, great cornerback, the offense playing them usually has their #1 receiver shut down pretty hard. Like Marvin Harrison and Lee Evans when we play the Colts and Bills, like the #1 WR on teams that play the Cowboys (Terrence Newman), the Vikings (Antoine Winfield), and the Jaguars (Rashean Mathis). Just like opposing offense avoid Champ, we avoide Rashean today.

The moniker "LW20 Effect" comes of course from Louis Wright, when Carlos Carson, Lynn Swann and Steve Largent were corralled by the 70s-80s Broncos, and John Stallworth, Stephone Paige and Paul Skansi, Sam McCullum Daryl Turner or whomever the Seahawks trotted out for a day in the sun had career days against #2 CBs like Bernard Jackson, Steve Foley, Mark Haynes, Aaron Kyle, Mike Harden .............................

BroncoBuff · 09-23-2007, 09:24 PM

The "Positive" from today's game is that our #1 deficiency was brought into crystal clear focus .... as I've been whining since training camp, our DTs are scandalously underskilled. THINK ABOUT IT ... how does a journeyman player like Amon Gordon come in and start?? Because the other DTs just plain SUCK.

Amon Gordon would not make 25 of 32 rosters, and yet he's starting for us.

I PREDICT: Shanahan will make a move THIS WEEK at DT. He must ... it's the only glaring hole.

Hercules Rockefeller · 09-23-2007, 09:25 PM

Cutler and Marshall, that is going to be a beastly combo one day.

Dumervil doesn't get my vote because he was on the field for more than the two plays that he got sacks on. The defense sucked today.

Too late chief, that day is already here. Too bad its not enough to overcome the suck that is our front 7. Really just the guys in the middle though, and the two LBs.
