Brandon Marshall cleared, expected to face Chiefs

Douglas Lee Nov 28, 2014 4:35 PM

Brandon Marshall was cleared through the league's concussion protocol, and is expected to start on Sunday at Arrowhead.

Julius Thomas and Aqib Talib were limited participants on Friday and are listed as questionable.

Talib is described by the DP as being a gametime decision.

Kayvon Webster has been ruled out, along with running backs Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman.

Man I agreed with you today but did you see how you had multiple comments about you being right THIS TIME? My problem is with you following the dude around looking for any little hole to poke in his comment.

Btw, class move to up vote the comment that just said "no" to me. You're obviously a classy guy.

You're not ignoring me, you're posting THE EXACT SAME THINGS you always have (troll, troll, troll, etc.) under someone else's posts. That's not ignoring. And your poor fans Tyler and Dr. Orangelove. They stuck their necks out for you and then you went right back to race-baiting today. The perils of sticking up for Lonestar...

I can see why you're such a big fan of Lonestar.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-11-30 17:30:51

See, you stuck up for Lonestar, and then today he's right back to race-baiting. That's what he does. You stuck up for him, and then he can't wait 24 hours before making an ass of himself again.

If we are veering off on a needless tangent that has next to nothing to do with the Broncos or football, I think people who propagate and perpetrate a victim mentality in the name of personal gain are, by and large, scumbags.
Women who are raped are victims. Men assaulted and murdered for their sexual preference are victims.
Willing participants engaging in violent recreation for profit....not so much.

he has been trolling any and all of my posts for a very long time.
While I appreciate your response it will not get through to him.

he has a TROLL=wooody for me and that is not going away.

I now ignore his trolling and sleep just fine. If there was a function on here to be able not even to see this petty posts then I would gladly use it.

Even though I get a copy of responses to all of my posts via email my trash file is filled with his.

Again thanks for what you did IT WILL NOT make him be anything less than a troll.

I'd feel a lot better about it if Keyvon wasn't banged up as well.

Posted by Lance Baxter on 2014-11-29 15:57:32

Ugh. Why bother throwing anywhere near Champ when you can pick on the nobodies on the other side of the field and dump off to Edge James?

Rough times to be a Broncos fan when the best you could look forward to was a early round exit in Indy...

So much agreement here, UD. As Yahmule mentioned in last week's game thread, Marshall is crucial if Denver is going to try to force KC to beat them with Smith and their receivers.

I would go a step further and point out that this would be a horrible time for Reid to finally make use of what he has in Kelce (sp?). Defending the tight end has not been Denver's strong suit of late, and I'd hate to see them somehow bottle up Charles only to have Kelce tear them up. Marshall seems like a better coverage option on the short to intermediate stuff than any of the LBs playing behind him (miss you, Danny T...).

Lonestar wrote "to (sic) many scum bag (sic) lawyers our (sic) there that would file a lawsuit in a heart beat (sic) if there would be NEW damage.."

So, if a lawyer files a lawsuit because of NEW brain damage, he's a scumbag.

But you somehow interpret this to mean that Lonestar is saying that a lawyer would take advantage of the situation to get money for someone who did NOT have brain damage? What???

As for how I respond, I believe I do so in kind. If someone demeans an entire profession as "scumbags" for representing people who have suffered brain damage, I do not believe that deserves a respectful response.

Have a nice day.

Then stop doing it.

Still remember those 2 brutal colts playoff losses, Manning killed Larry coyer's defense even with Champ .These are the kind of flashbacks that make me so happy Peyton is on our side this time around...

Posted by Gonzo on 2014-11-29 10:41:07

Well said.

Posted by MakeCents02 on 2014-11-29 04:25:18

Poor Roc. When you Google his name, the first hit is "Roc Alexander Peyton Manning." Walls, Herndon, Kennedy and Brandon should be grateful that those brutal Peyton playoff pantsings are forever linked to that hapless UDFA. They left the field just as crispy, but somehow less culpable in everyone's memory.

Posted by Yahmule on 2014-11-29 01:40:18

I doubt Lonestars comment was regarding Lawyers who represent people with brain damage so much as it was regarding lawyers who would take advantage of the situation to get money for someone who did not suffer brain damage.

Is that actually something that would happen? Probably not, but who knows for sure? Worthy of calling him an ass? No. That without a doubt did not add anything substantive to the conversation. It seems like similar tactics are increasingly becoming your go-to response.

If you still strongly disagree with him and need to voice it at least consider a more respectable approach.

Posted by Tyler on 2014-11-29 01:29:26

Fine, and I think people who race bait and call people who represent the victims of brain damage "scumbags" make the site worse, and I will always call out people who do that. That isn't trolling. There are several lawyers who post on this site. Doc didn't take too kindly to John Tomasik's demeaning and insulting swipes at the medical profession. You have to admire Lonestar's tactics. He's been trolling this site for years, but whenever anyone calls him on it, he screams "troll," and then people like you stick up for him.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-11-28 23:12:09

I've been around for the last three years or so. Mostly just reading and not posting. I don't agree with everything he has to say or everything you have to say but I sure don't make a big deal about it either way.

We're all Broncos fans here and one of the things I used to love about IAOFM was the lack of trolling and personal attacks. As it has gotten more popular that has become less true.

I won't ask you again or make a big deal about it again but just know I think things like this make the site worse and I doubt I'm alone.

Posted by Tyler on 2014-11-28 22:35:39

My gut tells me that Talib will be out... which isn't great, but I can't think of a better team for us to be down 2 CB against. Me thinks Roc Alexander could line up against those WRs and we'd be fine.

The big issue, of course, is stopping Charles.

Posted by QDoc on 2014-11-28 21:53:12

With Webster out hopefully Talib is a go. When Talib signed the biggest fear was that he would be sidelined by injuries in the biggest games. Prove us wrong Aqib!

Posted by Uncle Rico on 2014-11-28 21:27:09

Don't tell me what to post and I won't tell you to post. If he calls an entire profession "scumbags" for representing people with brain damage, I'm going to respond. Sorry if that rubs you the wrong way. If Doug wants to ban me, he can ban me. I don't know if you were here for all of the moronic racist comments Lonestar has made or not.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-11-28 20:39:47

Thanks for the comments. I'm ignoring the kid since yesterday.

He is the consumate troll trying to bait me no matter what I post.

On most forums there is an ignore function something that we both could use.

Once someone starts with personal attacks everyone knows he has nothing valid to add

Again I agree the trolling gets old.

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2014-11-28 20:39:37

Man I get that this guy rubs you the wrong way but I'm getting really tired of the constant negatively coming from you towards him. Try to keep it to yourself.

Posted by Tyler on 2014-11-28 20:35:02

The problem is the grabby hands and the automatic 1st down for any defensive holding.

Posted by Goéland on 2014-11-28 20:09:53

Ah, yes, any lawyer who would seek recompense for his client's brain injury is a "scumbag." You really are an ass, Lonestar. I wouldn't be too hard on those lawyers. You might need recompense for your own obvious brain damage.

Posted by AldenBrown on 2014-11-28 20:06:11

They go through a series of mental tests, they have IIRC outside doctors that are tasked with this and have to sign off that he has passed the tests. IIRC they also are scheduled over a few days.

For first time incidents most clear up in a day or two I suspect that he was held out of practice just in case.

It is not like he does not have the defense down pat, I also suspect that he mentally went through the practices while not actually being on the field physically.

in todays age the teams are not going to allow more damage done if they can help it, to many scum bag lawyers our there that would file a lawsuit in a heart beat if there would be NEW damage..

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2014-11-28 19:19:43

I'm not sure exactly what the protocol entails, but it seems that every player with a concussion gets to play the next weekend, as long as they sit out practice during the week. Is this a big change from the past? Or are we still allowing them to come back to soon?

Posted by iamafreeman on 2014-11-28 18:07:58

Man, it'd be nice to have all those guys back--gulp--but this is a good start at least, Marshall very important to have in trying to contain Jamaal Charles.

Posted by underdog on 2014-11-28 16:55:22

I wonder if this is the kind of game that Tony Carter could have a good game in. He's known as a good cover corner but not a great zone/off corner, right? I wonder how that would relate to Alex Smith's short game.
