BroncoTalk - Denver Broncos blog and news: Steelers @ Broncos Week 7 Open Thread

  • C.J · 2 years ago
    And the special teams start off right on cue.
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    Repeat of the AFC Championship Game already.
    Third-down conversions.
    Move the ball at will against the Broncos.
    Did they do anything during the bye?
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    TD Brandon Stokely!!!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Touchdown Stokley!

    Good offensive start. Bad defensive start. This could be a shootout. For fantasy purposes, I could use a shootout. I need a lot of points out of Cutler, Henry and Elam to win a fantasy game this weekend.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Not to mention Scheffler - as I pointed out, with Javon out and with Nate and Steven out look for a big game from Tony.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Winborn is my new HERO! That ST hit was HUGE!!!!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    #51 Jamie Winborn LB 5' 11" 242lbs 7th season from Vanderbilt
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    In and out of Bly's hands! Damn! That would've been sweet!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    5:24 left in the first quarter and Defense makes the Steelers give it up after just three! I mean, Bly should have really had that 2nd down INT, but at least we made a stop.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Hmm. Martinez' fair catch seemed a little premature to me.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    I liked Young's 22 yard return better... I'd like to see Hall get a chance too.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "We have two teammates not with us, so tonight we need to honor them with our play. Let's go out there and honor their memory with our play!" -- John Lynch before the game.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    So far, Stokley is the favorite target tonight. That's interesting.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    INT!!!!!! BLY!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Damn. Scheffler got out of one but not in time and didn't make the first.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    One for Bly!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Holy Cow, that was AWESOME! But Bly looked shook up, so I'm trying to hold my excitement until we find out if he's ok....
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Stokley is rocking tonight! 43 yards 1 TD! Tony is also doing well with 33 yards.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Brian Clark? Wow, we are low on receivers...
  • Kyle · 2 years ago
    Let's go broncos!

    Howdy fellas, I'm just stopping in, but let's get the big W and save our season!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Repeat after me: "It's just one pick; it's not the end of the world. It's just one pick; it's not the end of the world. It's just one pick; it's not the end of the world."
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    I don't think that was a good choice, Jay. That's an INT by Steeler's Anthony Smith.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Ugh. "It's just one 26 yard run..."

    That doesn't work as well.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Ok, that's what we CAN NOT do. Parker just broke off a 27 yard run.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    I agree... "Ugh"
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Holy crap how did we not get that sack there?
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Ok I agree with that fair catch.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Well, at least we stopped them. 11:38 2nd Quarter, our ball.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "Ok I agree with that fair catch."

    lol! Me too. :)
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Damn. Cutler and Marshall didn't look in sync on that one. Three and out. :/
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Marshall needs to catch those! aargh....
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Sauerbrun just isn't kicking like he did two years ago.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "Damn. Cutler and Marshall didn’t look in sync on that one. Three and out. :/"

    Yep... and that's after the miscue on the first play of the game too. :(
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "Sauerbrun just isn’t kicking like he did two years ago."

    Yeah, what was that first kick of the game?! Give Ben the ball at the 40?!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Yea, though that ball was flying fast and hard and I dunno how catchable it really was. Another couple inches lower, maybe. Jay throws 'em like Elway: Hard enough to break fingers.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    DJ's getting a lot of tackles tonight. It's a good sign for him.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Madden just said that DJ was becoming a good MIKE LB... Interesting.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Damn. Converted 3rd & 14. :/
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Hmm. I think we're going to win this review. I wonder if John's just talking like Ward had control just to keep people talking about this during the commercial.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    So far stats look dead even. ~120 yard rushing, ~5.7 yards per rush, ~80 yards passing, etc.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Yup. He didn't have control of it when it hit the ground.
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Holy crap our D-line is swarming a lot of these runs. I don't remember seeing nearly as much of this in the last 2 games. Do you think they can keep this up later in the game? I worry they're pouring too much energy into these.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    INT DJ WILLIAMS!!!!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    D.J. Williams! Was just hyping him up and he gets a pick!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    That's two INT for Big Ben... That's one of the things we need to do in order to stay in this game! Go BRONCOS!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "D.J. Williams! Was just hyping him up and he gets a pick!"

    In that case I hope Madden starting talking up ALL our guys! :)
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Daniel Graham makes a block and Culter runs like Young Elway for 31 yards!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Go Jay Go!!!!!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    4 minutes til the half... Up by 7! Sapp has a TD!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    What's awesome about this is when they mentioned Sapp was coming in at fullback, I commented "But Sapp has hands, this could be a fake!"

    It wasn't, but the next one was!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Yep. Standard goal-line Shanahan. Fake the run throw to the FB or TE. I love it! :)
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    Broncos look pretty good so far. Need to sustain it.
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    OH YEAH
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    DEFENSIVE FUMBLE RETURNED FOR TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!

    ELVIS DUMERVIL IS THE MAN!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    Kyle will be GOING WILD!!! TIM CROWDER JUST SCORE A TD off a fumble!!!!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    What did I say!? What did I say!? Bring the pressure - get the turnovers - win the game! Way to go Dumervil and Crowder! :)
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    DO NOT LET UP. THIS GAME IS NOT OVER. DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    ChampSB3233,

    Good point. There's over a half to go, boys. Keep it up! :)
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    SACK!!! Go BOYS!
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    McKinley gets a sack on just a four man rush! Holy crap!

    Someone's pumped!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    SOMEONE SACK BEN!!! Wow! He had like 45 seconds back there!
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    The pass rush has been insane tonight. But gotta finish.
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    Just like that.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    ELVIS!!!! Sack #3!
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    "Just like that."

    lol! :)
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    65-yard attempt.
  • ChampSB3233 · 2 years ago
    Great half. Played with heart, passion and above all -- expectations. But, again, must, must, MUST keep it up. 60 minutes. We've fallen into similar traps before.
  • Jonathan Douglas · 2 years ago
    21-7 at halftime! Time to change up the post -- see ya over at the 2nd half post! :)
  • E. Halsey Miles · 2 years ago
    Let's continue conversations on the half-time thread. And I'll start a 2nd half thread when it starts too.
