3 for 3

My pick for the game: 28-17 win
Actual score: 23-3 win

The good news is that I am 3 for 3 on picks so far for the Broncos. The bad news is that if I continue to be right, the Broncos will still suck. But I will take a 3-0 start any day. Let's just hope we can manage to do better than 3-10 the rest of the way. The offense has been alright and can get so much better, and the defense continues to amaze everyone. Passing game was bit lacking today, but we ran the ball like the Broncos of old. Almost had two 100 yard rushers. Pretty good week. And the Packers did pretty well against the Rams. Like it when my boy's are happy. Well on to the breakdown.

Yes- to a Bronco ground game that continues to churn out yards. 215 to be exact. Buckhalter breaks a hundred and Moreno powered, spinned, and juked his way to 91 and a score. The rookie is looking good and Buckhalter is a great back when healthy. Now lets see if we can run the ball against teams that actually have a defense.

No- to not getting Moreno a 100 yards. Lamont Jordan sucks, don't care if he played for the Patriots and knows the system. He still sucks.

Yes- to holding the Raiders to 137 total yards. Easier to do when Jamarcus Russell couldn't hit Gilbert Brown for a pass if he was five yards away and wide open(Brown wouldn't catch it anyways). But we also held them to less than a 100 yards rushing. Great show defense. But with Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and San Diego looming, they will be tested.

No- to not being able to take it in from the 5 yard line on 4 tries.

Yes- to Elvis still being in the building. 2 more sacks.

No- To kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns.

Yes- to Kyle Orton making it through 3 weeks and still no turnovers.

No- to Buckhalter coughing up our first turnover of the season

Yes- to the Broncos causing four turnovers. DJ Williams and Brain Dawkins combo on their force and recovery was sick and nasty.

No- to the explosive Eddie Royal getting one catch. Are you kidding me?

Yes- to getting Brandon Marshall more involved. Even got him a touchdown.

No- to the middle of the field being open all day and not exploiting it more. Every time we had a receiver or tight end there it coverage by a backer. But the running game was working.

Yes- to throwing a screen pass to 260 lbs Daniel Graham. Worked like a charm.

No- to that crappy field the Raiders play on during the baseball season.

Yes- to a great Bronco win

No- to Drew Brees killing me in fantasy

Yes- To the Pack getting a much needed win over the Rams.

No- To Johnny Jolly recovery a fumble and blocking a field goal. All after Rock dropped him. :(

Yes- to picking the Jets, Lions, and Bengals for wins this week. Boom.

No- to just randomly throwing up. Yep, just did, had no clue it was coming. Weird.

All in all it was a pretty good sunday. Didn't really like having to put up with the parade all day, but still got the whole Bronco game in. Would just be nice to actually get to sit and enjoy a sunday in front of my beautiful tv, with my sunday ticket, and new comfy chair. One of these days. And about Pierre Thomas, I am big guy and will admit I'm an idiot. Thank you Caleb. I also just wanted to say the Raiders a terrible franchise. Until they get rid of Al Davis they will suck. Jamarcus Russell is terrible, horrible, and frighteningly bad. Its so sad to see a talent like McFadden wasting away there. They just need to cut the Raiders as a franchise in the NFL and let Cabe and I start a new one. I think that is very reasonable. People from down south can continue to wear there jersey's and cheer for them. They would never know they don't exist anymore anyways. Everybody wins. Maybe even some of the southerners would go back south. Raiders are the only thing holding them here aren't they?

  1. nice GB reference, I especially liked the part where you said he couldn't catch anyways. Just becareful Force. Former NFL players often have roid rage, and a lot of spare time on their hands, not people you would want to piss off ;p. That's me winking with my tongue out.

    Also, if I may, I'm giving you my own personal yes to you for spelling Johnny Jolly's name accurately. It's like Rod Smith all over again.
