The 2006-2007 Bronco Experiment
After tonight’s ugly win against Baltimore, here are my thoughts on the Broncos so far…
1. This year’s Broncos look like last year’s Chicago Bears. All defense and pray to God that the offense doesn’t lose the game for you. That’s good enough to get to the playoffs, but I’m not sure it’s good enough to win a Super Bowl.
2. Plummer doesn’t have the arm strength for the long ball that Shanahan so desperately wants with his running game. Cutler does. But Cutler’s a rookie and as good as he MAY be, rookies don’t normally win a Super Bowl.
3. The rest of the AFC power teams have holes as well. Indy – a running game, San Diego – Marty ball, Ravens – offense, Bengals – their uniforms and their defense, KC – quarterback, and Patriots – jekyll/hyde disease. So Denver has just as good as a chance as any of them to make it to the Super Bowl…IF they can find their offense.
That’s all I got to say about that right now.

FYI, the Colts have a run game now. Rhodes and Addai have combined for almost identical stats that Edge had last year at this point in the season.
The Colts big hole is their run defense. Cory Simon is out for the season so I don’t see how its going to get any better.
i dont think it matters who from the afc gets to the super bowl right now, cause it looks like the bears are unstoppable, that is until rex grossman gets hurt.
oo and i got to know, it says you posted this at 12:12 am, now is that cst or from the mountain time zone?
What exactly is a popularity percentage? How is that calculated? Percent of people who visit this page that actually reply to a post? What does that really tell you? Why the additional stat?
hmm, it went from 57% to 63% when I posted that last comment
Now 68%…wonder if I can drive it up to 100% by myself.
How would the ranking go down? It can’t measure weather the post is pro or con. I think the number is worthless.
Hot dog — 72%
man, Grant…I’m making this post more and more popular.
80%!!! Wonder what this post will do.
hot dog…85% Just because of little ol’ me.
I think your stats are skewed.
89% … hmm, I might have to do some sort of linear regression to determine the curve here. Maybe it’s linked to number of characters in each comment.
93% getting tougher.
woo hoo…98%
i did it!! 100%
so this is what an electrical engineer from Arkansas does with his day? pathetic.
you even have your own blog.
it’s an update on the plugin popularity contest, I forget to change the variable that hides each individual posts “popularity” rating.
The ratings exists so that the sidebar stuff works…dorks.
Ahh..a useless stat.
1. I’m not an electrical engineer FROM arkansas, I’m and electrical engineer who happens to live in arkansas.
2. I needed a break from dealing with — well never mind — let’s just say I was about to drop the f-bomb to my boss and a few select VP’s while handing in my resignation…i needed something to channel my anger.
P.S. You’ll note it only took me from 12:16 to 12:21 to accomplish my goal. And I just now got a break to see if you responded.
all i know is that when you have a huge former naval academy football player tell you that the denver broncos are really good, in fact “great.” and he is really worked up about it. i tend to agree.
i think that denver is going to fall apart if champ baily, al wilson, or john lynch gets hurt… i also believe that they won’t make it far into the playoffs agaisnt the offensive superpowers in the NFL.
Indy has a shot at going since they remain unbeaten and they hav e a running game, the only thing they need to do is to plug those holes..they are letting over 100 yards rushing minimly per game. With the return of Stokely and vinetari(hes coming back this week), and when sanders comes back my colts will kill all the other afc teams and go on to play the bears in the super bowl
I really like this Bigfoot guy.
