Put Up or Shut Up
Hold on to your knickers, boys. Never has a contest between two mediocre teams meant so much to so few.
As a fan, you always want your team to win. Especially against the punk trash talking Phyllis Rivers. It would be awesome to send the Chargers into the off-season discouraged and disgruntled.
On the other hand, having the 11th or 12th pick in the draft would be awesome. It’s where we found Ryan Clady.
I’m not sure the Broncos have much left to prove. David B. posted about this over on his site and I agree with him on most points. Offense is close – injuries have killed the Broncs and the defense isn’t going to scare or stop anybody. Especially when the next somebody would be the Indianapolis Colts.
So take the pick and reload for next year.
But I can’t stand the thought of losing the AFC West to the Chargers.
To those who say it’s always better to go to the playoffs and take your chances – I disagree. I remember well all the Super Bowl losses in the late ’80′s. The Washington loss was excruciating. I think playing Indianapolis next week would be along the same lines.
So I’m conflicted.

i have to disagree with y0u on the playoffs. the ball doesn’t bounce right so anything is possible. i would rather go to the playoffs and take my chances.
of course, right now it looks like your broncos have decided they prefer the 11th pick.
my youngest son is glad to say that you did, you did win the 11th pick.
They got the number 12 pick. Which is great.
The defense is the worse in the NFL. The only difference between the Broncos and the Lions is Jay Cutler.
Here’s to another defensive coordinator. I don’t know how Slowick can keep his job.
As a Bama fan, does the Malzahn hire scare you? It sure makes for some interesting story lines in the SEC. I am looking forward to the Auburn-Ole Miss game now. It will be interesting to see how he does….I think he will do well.
grant. what the heck did your team do? firing shanahan? i’m all for change, but this?
Jlo – Malzahn doesn’t mean jack at Auburn. That’s a program in deep weeds.
Robert – NO ONE saw this coming. We all thought Pat would say to Mike – resign as GM, keep coaching but never fire him.
It’s a shock…I’ll post more later..
