Forget about Tebow, this season it's Revis that makes the Jets look like idiots.

All of that sounds very logical.

Feeling great about your team, are ya?

Posted by broncosmontana on 2013-04-18 16:49:38

I'm good with that sure. Just none of this regular season win leading to a postseason loss BS. :)

Not relevant to the topic at hand, but some classic Mike Florio today. He's now had a change of heart and will no longer publicize Wonderlic scores and will stop making fun of those who score poorly. He then criticizes someone else for doing so, after he has been the worst offender. Then, after all of that, he gives you a link where you can find out the scores, after he just said he no longer cares and will no longer publicize the information!

Yeah, it certainly does seem like the Jets start every season that way, eh?

How'd Tebow work out, btw? Haven't heard much about that.

Her?

Posted by Sam Booker DeWitt on 2013-04-18 15:30:49

Yep, run straight at him.

Posted by pubkeeper on 2013-04-18 14:34:30

Bring it Blackbirds!

Posted by nacaboose on 2013-04-18 14:33:59

That first Thursday night game is on NBC.

Posted by Dan Alsup on 2013-04-18 14:24:09

Already predicting a poor start to the Jets season? Well, at least you're being realistic.

Posted by Royalwithcheese on 2013-04-18 14:18:26

Who?

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-04-18 13:51:59

LOLJets winner.

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-04-18 13:51:23

I didn't realize Caleb Hanie's return to Denver would garner so much national interest.

Posted by ohiobronco on 2013-04-18 13:44:59

I get them here in Fort Collins, 70 miles north of Denver (on CBS or whoever).

Posted by bradley on 2013-04-18 13:29:54

Who the hell is this guy?

Posted by Rollston Frangopoulos on 2013-04-18 12:59:41

My money's on Clady. I remember, in Clady's first TC, Doom said that he could fool Clady once, but not twice, with a certain move.

Posted by bradley on 2013-04-18 12:58:37

But remember he had a BIG WHIFF on his last play..

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2013-04-18 12:58:29

How about if the loss in Denver keeps them from making the playoffs?
I'll settle for that, but you make a good point.

Posted by bradley on 2013-04-18 12:57:04

I totally agree the great teams reload with spare parts on the shelf, the CROWS are one of those teams, PIT and NE are the others I suspect that SFO, SEA will be soon..

Those thinking this game will be a cakewalk just may be surprised, none of our games with them have ever been easy and most have been a butt kicking..
IIRC None of John Foxes teams have been fast starters.. Lets hope this year the bitter offseason our players had and the "glory" off season the crows had will allow them to come in here overconfident and be trapped..

Lets hope the WHINE and CHEESE crowd does not show up, in its place our old fans emerge..

Posted by Lonestar47 on 2013-04-18 12:56:45

Aren't those games televised locally on broadcast TV?

Posted by Douglas Lee on 2013-04-18 12:54:14

I'm not sure, but I think Trindon Holliday is about to...

Posted by drgonzo80 on 2013-04-18 12:53:32

Love the game, hate that its going to be on NFL network. Wish that they would consider the rest of Colorado as local broadcast area. Guess I need to hook the radio up again.

Posted by Nathan Bowen on 2013-04-18 12:47:59

0-1

Posted by daniel beisner on 2013-04-18 12:33:50

I can't wait to watch the good guys kick the shit out of the Blackbirds in a primetime game. Hurry up, season.

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-04-18 12:29:22

This. Still really looking forward to this match up in a live game for once though.

Posted by broncosmontana on 2013-04-18 12:28:32

Lick offs are always messy, I avoid them nowadays.

Posted by aLuffabo on 2013-04-18 12:27:32

Clady. We know the formula for stifling Doom.

Posted by jvill on 2013-04-18 12:16:13

I would be interested in the brain trusts thoughts on what may be a Clady vs Doom matchup given they have practiced against each other so much etc...who will have the advantage?

Posted by denverkewl on 2013-04-18 11:59:48

Cool, but I'm just gonna say this right now. It's only revenge if we knock them out of the playoffs.

Posted by broncosmontana on 2013-04-18 11:52:37

Love me some auto correct

Posted by RyanHennigan on 2013-04-18 11:51:36

Great news. I'm not one that thinks the Ravens are done because they lost a few guys - Ozzie Newsome knows what he's doing. But they'll have to get the team act together and that will take some time, so this is good for that reason.
The other is (like Doug said) we get a jump start on the season and a couple days of extra rest. I hope the next game is on the road to get one road game out of the way with the extra time off to deal with it.

Posted by bradley on 2013-04-18 11:51:22

Has anyone ever returned a season opening kick off for a TD?

(Auto correct suggested lick off... Totally different sport that)
