GameThread W12 - Denver at Kansas City (1 Viewer)

Does Plummer really have 10 different receivers? The stats look pretty good for him, but the big "L" wil ensure Cutler starts next week.

 

[TommyKramer]

I hate Plummer.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

Game over.

 

[Cleavage Connoisseur]

That's what I'm hoping for...

Oh well

Worst Thanksgiving. Ever.

game over.

..|.. Plummer.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

The Brooncos did not get 40 yardes rushing, tough night for Plummer to get something going with that KC's rush was in his face for a good portion of the game too.

i hate to say it but I don't see Denver going to the playoffs this year....they are terrible.

Does LJ's head look bruised?

Best case 2-1 here. If they get a split between Baltimore and SD I would be happy.

There is no reason to hold back on Cutler anymore. Even if Denver manages to back into the playoffs this year, no way in hell they get through the first round playing like this. As much as Denver is in the thick of the playoff hunt, in reality they have nothing to lose by shaking things up a bit.

You're nuts. Plummer isn't that bad. The Broncos have major problems in their running game and in their pass protection. At least with Plummer you get mobility. Cutler would have gotten smashed sitting in that pocket tonight.

Plummer didn't single handedly lose this game (not sure where you got that I said that), and arguably he doesn't lose any game by himself. But he is also not doing a thing to push them over the hump either, and he's killed them in way too many key situations this year. Cutler will certainly take his lumps, but I still think Denver has nothing to lose at this point.

I quoted you, but it was more of a venting from what appears to be the general consensus of the Broncos fans. I agree that Plummer isn't going to win games by himself, but this team has a lot of problems outside of Plummer's control. There had to be at least 6 dropped passes tonight, he was constantly under pressure, and they had no run game whatsoever. Putting Cutler in is tossing the season away. At 6-4 that seems way too drastic.

As a New England fan, I'm thrilled to see Denver sliding. That's the team I'm most afraid of in the playoffs. And I'd also be thrilled to see Plummer out as QB - he's really hurt the Patriots over the years. I'd also be pretty happy to see KC make the playoffs as a wild card; they're 5-1 at home and 2-3 on the road. Of course, the Pats have a tough game this week, they've got the Jets two games back and the Dolphins are surging, so it's a little early to be talking playoffs. But overall, this was a great outcome.

Well, if the rumor is true, we'll soon find out if putting in Cutler is really conceding defeat or not. You are right about the tons of other problems Denver has right now, I completely agree. I'm just cautiously optimistic that a major replacement to one of the more prominent problem areas will help turn things around. Time will tell.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

I was VERY unimpressed by the pre-game and the half-time portion of the broadcast.

It's almost as though they had guys with miner's caps lighting up the four yahoos at halftime.

And what were some of the names they threw out there? Deion said that they should bench Jake Cunningham. WHO?!?!?!?!

The actual game play by play / color work didn't bother me too bad. No worse than some of the teams on CBS or FOX. But that pre-game and halftime show was atrocious.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Isn't this the same defense that didn't give up a single TD the first 18 quarters (or something like that) to start off the season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It's not like anybody got hurt or anything....

they've been on the field too much.

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

Just got back from the festivities....and I got two words:

HE-- YEAH!

KC looks to me to be at worst a 10-6 team and more than likely an 11-5 team. A great win on a national stage (kinda)

I am as pessimistic as any KC fan---I thought when Trent threw the INT that the DEF would cave, but our DEF was just too good tonight. Outside of the 2-minute drive before half, I though the defense played pretty good, and that was minus Derrick Johnson.

Cleveland worries me next week with their offensive nucleus of Frye, Edwards and Winslow, but KC is historically not bad in CLEV....at least not as bad as in MIA or BUF.

Another perk of playing on Thurs....FOUR GAMES ON SUNDAY!

Now I have to go sleep all this off and do some shopping!

I understand your point, that everyone is pinning everything on Jake, but Cutler has decent mobility as well.

I think Cutler is probably more athletic than Jake. Cutler will be an improvement over Jake in just about every way, except for rookie mistakes, where he will be equal with Jake, until next year.

looking ahead..

KC @ CLE

BAL @ KC

KC @ SD

Best case 2-1 here. If they get a split between Baltimore and SD I would be happy.

Actually, I personally see 3-0 as the best case scenario.I think 2-1 is what will occur. They'll beat San Diego and Baltimore will not come into Arrowhead. Not a chance.

If the Charger game was at home, I'd pick them to win that, too. But on the road, they'll probably lose. Still - they could win.

I bet a friend of mine $ 20.00 that LJ goes over 150 rushing today. He's getting there.

It is too early to say that LJ is going to be a very large draft risk next year? He's looking at another 30 + carry game which is his 2nd in 4 days. Is next years LJ this years SA??

(I know you weren't...) But please don't insult LJ.Alexander isn't in his league.

 

[The Jacket]

I haven't followed the whole game tonight, but why did Denver abandon the run? 14 rushed compared to 36 passes? They were only down one score..Whats the deal?

Not that either was great, but they were having much less success on the ground.

 

[The Jacket]

Let's see how Herm screws it up this time.

People really need to get a clue with Herm Edwards.He's a very GOOD coach.
