Game Thread W11 - Denver V Atlanta (2 Viewers)

[Andy Hicks]

Good luck

 

[EdwardCat]

Anyone who thinks that marshall is the #1 receiver on this team at this point is a complete and utter idiot.

 

[R Dizzle]

Hillis is a beast.

 

[duece2626]

Hillis TD!!

 

[Gopher State]

Its official Hillis is the next great Denver RB, what a burst. T. Bell will be taking care of the bags from here on out.

CBS is giving one of Marshall's receptions to Royal. They better fix that. It was Marshalls first reception of the game for 9 yards and it got credited to Royal.

Not sure what that means, but its fixed already.

Exactly. Those things ALWAYS get fixed, which is why I roll my eyes at anyone who worries that something like that won't be. Why even worry about it?

 

[North]

AFTER THE 2 DROPS BY WHITE ON THE FIRST DRIVE, IT LOOKS LIKE RYAN IS NOW TARGETING JENKINS. OH NO!

 

[The Stookie Bros]

Has anyone seen Scheffler? Every where I read, it said he was going to start and he didn't. I also haven't seen him on the field yet.

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos waste a great Eddie Royal kickoff return - 3 and out with a missed Prater FG.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Nothing like wasting a great kickoff return.

 

[R Dizzle]

Roddy "Beast" White breaks a long one tripped up at the 7. But man what a beast.

 

[ffldrew]

Dre Bly

 

[cutler6]

great 35 yd pass and catch by White almost took it to thehouse, down at DEN 8

 

[R Dizzle]

TD Turner.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Broncos defense getting torched for a second week in a row by a rookie QB. Shocking.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Run Turner.

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos try the razzle dazzle one too many times - it looks like Shanahan believes that only gimmicks will work in lieu of a legitimate running game.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I don't get Shanny's play-calling thus far. On the last possession, he threw on all three downs, failed to get a first down, and then they missed a FG. This last possession, he ran on all three downs and had to put. What happened to mixing it up?

 

[peter griffin]

lot of dink and dunk from Denver looks like thus far? Is this the case?

 

[ffldrew]

Yes - nothing deep yet or down the seam to the TE.

 

[erikf08]

Has anyone seen Scheffler? Every where I read, it said he was going to start and he didn't. I also haven't seen him on the field yet.

I wish I could get a read on him. Just when I think he's going to be part of the offensive game plan, he's not. When I don't play him, he goes off. I have not benefited from 1 decent game of his all season Shame on me for playing him this week. It will be the last I'm sure.

So is he playing or what? He looked so good last week down the seam. Come on Shanny...go to him

 

[ffldrew]

Tatum Bell starting 2nd Half - gets ball outside for around 5.

ETA - Abraham out holding shoulder for Falcons

 

[koreansteve]

...from someone here not watching the game...

what's up with DEN's offense. Hillis is averaging 4 yds/carry and they've given it to him 3 times. For that matter, they've run 4 times total with their RBs? How is Cutler 11 for 14 and they only have 7 pts?

thx in advance.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Denver's offensive game plan this week has been pretty unimaginative. Hard to believe with Shanny there.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Did Royal's second foot ever make it down before being tossed out on the tackle?

 

[ffldrew]

Easy TD run for Hillis to the outside edge.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Now that's more like it!

I am now preparing for the Broncos defense to give it right back.

 

[ffldrew]

Norwood shaken up on a pass play that went out of bounds.

 

[ffldrew]

Nice blitz by Denver forces Ryan into a rookie mistake as he chucks it up for grabs - Dre Bly with INT for Denver.

 

[ffldrew]

Now PJ Pope getting reps at HB and looking good on a sweep to outside.

 

[plymkr]

Where the heck is Sheffler?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Not getting a TD there could really hurt. 2nd and goal from the 1 and they couldn't get it in the end zone. Bah. The defense is playing somewhat well, though, but that could change at any time, so TDs are needed, not FGs.

I think the ratio of points he has scored when I've started him to when he's been on my bench is about 45 - 10. He's simply fantasy poison.

 

[ffldrew]

Where the heck is Sheffler?

Nate Jackson seems to be the TE target du jour.Also Norwood out with a rib injury - questionable to return.

 

[erikf08]

2 receptions for 32 yards for Nate Jackson.

Scheffler has zero.

 

[ffldrew]

The usual Bronco swiss cheese run D shows up and Turner just goes thru it into the End Zone.

 

[ffldrew]

Excellent adjustment on the ball by Marshall for a 58 yd reception on 3rd and 7.

 

[moviedude25]

This game is frustrating. I'm playing against Hillis and he's been awesome. I'm also playing against Cutler, who's done nothing. I never woulda thought that I should be afraid of Hillis and not Cutler

 

[ffldrew]

How many false starts has Graham had this year - man it's frustrating to do that in red zone.

ETA - Graham makes up for it with catch off the ground for a TD.

 

[timschochet]

It will be interesting now to see how Ryan handles a 4th quarter drive. This has actually been a pretty entertaining game.

 

[EdwardCat]

Where'd Marshall's red targets go since week 3? Cutler doesn't even acknowledge Marshall is on the field when they get inside the 20.

 

[Ghost Rider]

24-20 Broncos now. If the defense is going to blow it, blow it quickly, so the offense has time to go back down and win or tie it.

 

[timschochet]

Finnerman's getting a lot of touches today. Might be worth a look?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Winborn just dropped an easy INT that would have given the Broncos the ball back with under 3 to go.

 

[Ghost Rider]

On 3rd and 18, Roddy White dropped a bomb in the end zone after the CB fell down right before the ball got there. 4th and 18 from the Denver 45 coming up with 1:06 left.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Broncos defense holds! 58 seconds left. Atlanta has 2 timeouts left.
