Good. My interpretation after watching him on the sideline was this was not season ending. I’d guess a bruised shoulder or sprain etc. If I were betting he misses a couple of games at most.
Just saw this from Rob Demovsky
Like the 2nd and 2 shot to Cortland.
After today we will not be favored. The players lost today played in the first Bears game. A whole different scenario next week. The Bears would have to revert to Nagy form all of a sudden.
Sure you can, if they score it puts the defense right back on the field.
Never thought of that. Kind of like getting seasick playing in Frisco.
Just a week ago we talked about winning out and getting the #2 seed. Now we are talking about possibly losing out and going home after WK 18.
Welcome to the NFL.
2 nd most points the Bronco's scored all year...only scored more against the Cowboys. Good example of the "Peter Principle"
Without Parsons and Watson, we don't win that game last week. Bears will certainly be favored next week, and rightly so.
I was kinda watching guys suck the oxygen on the sideline. Imo it doesn’t hit you immediately. It’s like climbing at and it sneaks up as you continue through the game. Naturally you get more winded anyway, but I believe playing in that stadium is one of the tougher venues in the NFL. Romo also said so referring to the crowd noise and he’s played there a bunch.
Again. I totally understand the frustration. Imo GB needs 1 more Win and they’ll get a 7th seed. It’ll take 11 Wins to pass us for a spot. Detroit is the only team that could catch us. They’d need to Win out though and none of their games are easy. They host Pitt 7-6 and the travel to Minnesota and Chicago. If they lose any game and we win any game we’re in as a 7th at minimum. Odds are highly in our favor. Gotta keep in mind that Detroit loss yesterday was huge.
Hey @Thirteen Below! I totally understand the frustration as I just watched the same meltdown you did. Just a note though. We just held Denver to 2.9 yards per rush in their house and last week one of the best Rushing teams (Chicago) averaged 4.3 per carry which is near a full yard under their average. Matter of fact? GB had more success against Chicago at 4.5 per rush attempt. The Point being is not that we are favored in Chicago, it’s that the strength of our D aligns pretty well with Chicago. We also have Golden back and he actually led our WR’s this week and that was his first game back. Musgrave has also been rising into a true receiving TE1. This was his best game and had Love not thrown a pair of somewhat wild throws he would’ve by far led the Packers (one was low and tipped by the Defender instead of putting it up there, one throw was high and outside off his finger tips or maybe 6” from being more catchable.
I think the one game of the 3 that is winnable is the Ravens, although it will be difficult. Lamar will not face the pass rush. And without Watson and Tom we will not move down the field as quickly unless Jacobs has a big day.
I noticed even the Bronco players were taking oxygen, and they must be acclimatized.
I don't know if you saw that post I made last week about the elevation, but the Denver NFL, NBA, and NHL teams all have the historically best home winning percentage in their respective leagues. That's not a fluke; there's a reason for that.
These are good points, but I think without Parsons, we have no pass rush. Williams will have a full second or more on his drop backs, giving their WRs all the time they need to expose our biggest weakness - the secondary. Johnson had an excellent 2nd half game plan last week, and we had no answer for it. They ground it out for 30 minutes, and scored on every possession. I don't expect our D to be any better at solving that this weekend than they were last weekend.
Yes, Tom reduces pass pressure and strengthens the run game. And he is less likely to commit a holding penalty.
I would largely tend to agree.
I'm confused as to Tom. Kennard seemed to be OK out there and the pressure, I thought, was coming from the inside. Run blocking I'm not sure. But having a back up tackle that's doing a decent job? It's hard for me to see how that turned the game around. They started getting pressure up the gut I thought. And maybe Kinnard doesn't take his man as wide as Tom.
