Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Did i mention that i hated Bell?

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

No mention of 53 getting blocked in the back on that play.. too bad they have no problem taking our points off the board

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

blatant hold they didnt call

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

We need to get back in this game! LET'S GO D!

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

We need a touchdown on this drive and a stop if we want a chance at a final drive..

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

I'm thinking a large part of the score is Gibbs/Burns playcalling.. 26 passes in the first half? Shotgun on 2nd and 1, then rolling out on 3rd and 1 near the 50? Portis has almost 100 yards on 17 carries and has almost broken off a couple big runs.. Let's go!

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

well at least we can still say plummer didnt beat us.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

nice block! clemons!

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

can we see a miracle?

*sucks*

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

damn

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

I can live with this loss.

Very tough to go on the road and beat Denver, but we hung tough and I'm still encouraged for the rest of the season.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Problem is Arrowhead is next--they had a chance today to steal one...

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

yeah. tough tough loss, but not completely unexpected.

Does make next week VERY important.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Tough loss but it shows we have ourselves a good football team.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Ya know, add in two tackles and the broncos 2 rushing TDs aren't there.

Agree. Now we have to face a tough Kansas City Team.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

questionable calls by the refs and the elements beat us this game

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Some very good looking numbers today.

Brunell 30/53, 322 yards 2 TD
Portis 20-103
Moss 8-116
Cooley 8-82-1
Patten 7-63

Two huge TD runs by Bell is what killed us.

There were bad calls on both sides.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

over 400 yards of offense but only 19 points. Tough loss to live with.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Yeah, Bell killed us today - but that reversal on the safety play was totally bogus!

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

what this broncos game showed me is that our defense needs to get its act together. i haven't seen us play run d that bad in a while. and it comes at a time when our next opponent just so happens to be one of the best rushing teams in the league.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

one more stat...just to get another monster thread going for this week:

Lavar 0-0

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

[quote]There were bad calls on both sides.[/quote]

No doubt, but no where near the magnitude on both sides.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Run D broke down on 2 plays, other than that it was a good effort. Still need to find a way to get some turnovers though.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

[QUOTE=diehardskin2982]questionable calls by the refs and the elements beat us this game[/QUOTE]

Naw - there were some questionable calls for us (and a couple of non-holding calls when one of our O-Lineman tackled one of their defenders).

Far too many penalties on ourselves. That 50+ FG attempt looked like it would have been good but for the offside penalty.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

I wouldn't have felt too good if we had converted on the two point conversion and won it in OT either. And the critics wouldn't have been impressed as they aren't already. We had an advantage against thier CBs and didn't look to exploit them. The weather was bad for both teams so that can't be an excuse. DENs kicker and punter tilted the scales in the field position game. And yes, allowing two big runs for TDs dug too deep a hole.

the safety and the pass interference not called agianst the lb playing cooley, were devestating game shifting calls

I would have!!!!! Screw what the media says, 4-0 would have been real nice!

A win, is a win no matter how we get it... I can care less about what the critics have to say

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

Was it just me or did it look Brunell had a clear path to just run that 2-point conversion in?

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

[QUOTE=TAFKAS]Was it just me or did it look Brunell had a clear path to just run that 2-point conversion in?[/QUOTE]

i think we have some kind of 2 point curse... remember ramsey's overthrow to the open man against philly last year?

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

this team was a great team that we played. We got nearly 450 yards on the 6th best defense.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

[QUOTE=TAFKAS]Was it just me or did it look Brunell had a clear path to just run that 2-point conversion in?[/QUOTE]yes he did

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

We are controlling the clock and putting up yards, but coming up short on points. I think we lost this game because we were missing Springs, Harris, Hall, and Tupa (in that order). No QB pressure = no turnovers = bad field position = fewer points. That needs to get fixed.

[QUOTE=TAFKAS]Was it just me or did it look Brunell had a clear path to just run that 2-point conversion in?[/QUOTE]


I was saying the samething to my fellow Redskins' friend on the phone when we ran that play. I guess, though, we don't see the samethings that the QB thinks he sees. Of course, that should have been the winning TD, considering we scored a safety.

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

I only followed the game online and I won't get to see it until I get the DVD next week, but to me the equation is simple. 400+ yards of offense and we only score 19 points? Penalties, turnovers and inability to score in the redzone cause that. False start on a FG? Fumble by the QB? Mistakes that may not individually have killed us, but cumulatively it all hurts.

JG wants this team to stop making mistakes. He's going in the right direction, but now he can see we can put the yardage up there, it's about time he starts letting the offense off the leash more and allow them to make more big plays.

Likewise on D they have to turn Arrington loose, even if it's only from the end position. We need turnovers bad. And if he wants such a disciplined D and players who stick to their assignments, maybe he should re-iterate that to the guys that let Bell go for not 1 but 2 big plays. I don't care how disciplined this D is, we need play makers. It's great getting 94 yard potential game tying drives, but I want at least 1 short drive every game because we got the ball off their O!

Re: Skins-Broncos game thread
 

I agree with you, except it was Portis that fumbled.
