In case anyone cares that isn't watching, the game has been delayed and the players removed from the playing field due to lightning.

Aye, but offensive philosophies can evolve to match player talent, much like last year's Giants, and he has great playmaking ability.

No, those are the club seats. Inside their concourse are couches and chairs and numerous TVs. Those people go inside at the drop of the hat. Kind of like going to a sports bar to watch a game and still being able to say you were there.For everybody else, you can tr to squeeze into the Bud Zone in teh South end zone that was already packed because of the heat or just stand around in a crowded cement concourse.

Delayed by lightning.

Although it's only one game but perhaps we'll have to re-evaluate the situation since Thomas has had more targets and catches than MSW and Lewis has been the redzone target.

I am screaming NO NO, don't try the FG!!! Punt it and take the field position.
Now I see why I am not a HC in the NFL.

That was a really amazing catch (out of bounds) by Lloyd.
pathetic MSW has ZERO catches. I was wondering (before I read this thread) if he was even playing today!? This cannot be good for his psyche going forward ...

I think more disappointing is that he's only been targeted 2-3 times.

Congrats Jax fans. 
Back to the drawing board for Denver. I would not want to be McBean in the locker room......

My thoughts on the game:
1. Eddie Royal put on a clinic today showing why I think great punt return skills translate well to the WR position. Between fielding a tipped ball and repeatedly making people miss in space, it was a nice reminder that we've all been counting him out too early.
2. Still waiting for Moreno to show me some burst. He's a solid RB, but he's not a great one. Buckhalter still seeing a lot of snaps. I think a lot of people overestimated how big of a workload Moreno's going to get this season.
3. Brandon Lloyd was working those deep sidelines with a vengeance. I think I counted 6 such passes with him as the target. He looked good. With all the talk about what a great story Mike X Williams is, if Brandon Lloyd could actually make something of himself, it'd be just as big of a surprise.
4. Holy hell Orton, that was perhaps the most gutless slide I've seen in years. There's a time and place for the QB slide. The red zone is not that place, and the 4th quarter when down by 7 is not the time. Lower your damn shoulder and get the first. It was particularly egregious given how far away the defender was. I freeze-framed it, and Orton began his give-up slide at the 16 and a half when the defender wasn't quite to the 9 yard line- the guy was still almost 8 yards away!
5. Speaking of Orton, he played a great game for the first 54 minutes (up until that disgusting slide), but what was up with all the tipped passes? At least 4 or 5 balls were batted at the line or deflected off of a defender's helmet. I haven't seen that many batted balls since Chris Simms was starting for Tampa Bay.
6. Maurice Jones-Drew. He's really, really good. All the injury concern was a bunch of needless worry.
In all, I'm glad that the Broncos aren't going to get off to a great start and get everyone's expectations up this year. This wasn't a good team last year. This isn't a good team this year. I miss Mike Shanahan. I was never this fatalistic when he was around.

Mile High Report has been raving about Prater all offseason. Sounds like his struggles are behind him, and this is still the guy who booted 4 50+ yarders in his first 8 games placekicking for the Broncos. Hopefully his success carries through the season.I am screaming NO NO, don't try the FG!!! Punt it and take the field position.Now I see why I am not a HC in the NFL.

Good game.
Aaron Kampman is the real deal. It was nice to see pressure today. Haven't seen that in quite a while.
