Here's a non sequitur if I've ever seen one....
Yes, it seems your coach's confidence, as well as your team's confidence, was shaken quite a bit in the second half of last season....
A classic case of whistling past the graveyard.
So you think the Bronx (as Armstrong so deftly refers to them) will split with San Diego this season, huh? Good luck with that one!
Just to bring you up to speed, there are not "rumors" Shields will retire. He already has!
Boy, you sure make a lot of assumptions to reach the conclusion the Broncos will be "fine"! But it does make for entertaining light reading...
I personally never said all that stuff about Sauerbrun. Although I've never liked the guy, I understood, in a resigned sort of way, why they signed him at the end of last season. But I also knew it was unlikely he'd return for another go-around with this team. I'll admit I was surprised when the matched the offer. I mean, why would they need this guy, let alone want him? Apart from maybe extracting a little from the Broncos, there was no real reason to do so.
So I'll stand by my earlier assessment, and say, once again, you can have him. And good luck.
As a post script, the Broncos' schedule looks like they drew it up. I mean, it's so filled with cream puffs, it looks like a pastry shop job! Now, I realize that's not your fault, but if you guys don't manage at least 11 wins against that JV schedule, you should seriously consider the season a failure.
Really.
And strictly out of curiousity, why do end your paragraphs with a question mark, even after putting a period in there? Are you trying to start some new writing fad amongst the functional illiterates in our society?
Just wondering....
Please improve your critical reading skills. The rumors were that Will Shields retired because he hates LJ so much he didn't want to block for him. He was also being horrendously underpaid. And yes, our schedule looks easy on paper. I'm predicting between 9-7 to 11-5 due to Jay Cutler being a near rookie. Also, in case you haven't done your homework (which quite obviously you haven't), before last year the Chargers hadn't swept us since 1984. Mile High is one of the best home field advantages in football. They almost never win here. We would have beaten them handily at home this past year had it not been for a total and inexplicable defensive collapse in the 4th quarter. Our lead was something like 24-7. It sucked. One of the worst losses in recent memory.
And what makes you think our confidence has been shaken any more than yours? You lost a mammoth lead to Peyton and the Colts ( a team you've traditionally "owned) when all of you (probably the team as well) thought you were likely winning your fourth Superbowl. That doesn't shake your confidence just a little? I'll believe it when I see it. Hm. Does perhaps that fact that your team is utterly owned by the 9-7 Broncos shake their confidence a bit?
Also, wow, I made a typo! I must be funcionally illiterate! I'm really hurting for that one, you got me good!
You should check out the Pats trolls on the several Bronco websites. Much worse than me.richpats said:Yeah, I wonder why Pats fans don't like Broncos fans
