Ready for some footbalI? It's Denver Bronco Weekend MKF 9/7

[Urn of Osiris]

America's Dairyland is cheering

The Packers win in overtime! Yippie!

Whew! a bit of a nailbiter though.

[The Big I T]

What a fabulous way to start the season...a brilliant defensive effort...special teams makes big plays...the offense comes through...Griese hangs in there...Shannon's back...ED-DIE is back, with a timely touchdown catch no less...and results are:


BRONCOS 23, RAMS 16

WOO and HOO!!


And can I just say again:


ED-DIE...ED-DIE...ED-DIE!!

Edited to add that I hope you enjoyed the game Juli! And Autumn...hurry home...

[Scout]

Just had to come by and celebrate the fact that the Redskins won their season opener 31-23!! Who knows what the rest of the season will be like, but for one glorious moment we're undefeated!

Go Skins!!

[WbBuffyfan00]

Well kittens I'm sad to report that my alma mater Troy State has started off their second season in Division 1-A with and 0-2 record. They fell 27-26 to UAB yesterday in Amber's hometown of Birmingham. Oh well I guess people will continue to go to the games just to hear the band!!! Go "Sound of the South".

What a great game.

So were we as loud as we sounded because I have never heard Invesco wannabe Mile High that freaking loud. I just lruve yelling IN - COM - PLETE. And the crowd loves them some Eddie Mac. It was also very cool because they let Shannon be introduced last and the crowd went wild.

Griese was touch and go there in the 3rd but damn that defense was incredible. Just amazing.

Rally I hope your sandwich was good.

[VampNo12]

Just wanted to add my Colts won today, so yay !

[kpmuse]

J - E - T - S Jets! Jets! Jets! Woo Hoo for an exciting win!

My sandwiches are always good, unlike the officiating of this game.

Well, the Broncos-Rams game was very entertaining, especially if you didnt have a huge investment in who won or lost (although I slightly favored the Broncos because of U of Michigan grad, Brian Griese). The Browns-Chiefs game had quite an amazing finish too, along with the Saints and Bucs. And then there were the Lions. Sigh. Losing 49-21 isnt that bad, is it?

[kbk3022]

Is it just me or can you smell that sandwich through the computer? Yeah, the Falcons game was good too, overtime and all, however, as it was posted earlier the Packers pulled it out.

Very hard to tell via tv just how loud it was...but the cameras were definitely shaking and rattling...a familiar and tell-tale sight at the old Mile High. Anyway it *seemed* like it had to be pretty darned loud, but I was truly hoping you'd confirm it. Now that's what I wanted to hear. Maybe, just maybe, *all* things are getting back to where they need to be in Broncoland.


As for Griese, well, there was a point there -- and the cameras sure zoomed right in on it -- where it looked like Shanahan was going to yank him. Beurlein warming up, Shanahan saying something to Griese and Griese suddenly looking stunned and absolutely deflated. But then the Ram field goal falls short, Beurlein takes his helmet off, and it's Griese who's heading back onto the field. Don't know if it was a headgame by Shanahan, but whatever, Griese sure made the most of his "second chance." And I don't think I've ever seen him reacting like that after a score before, either -- he looked like he was going to hurt himself with all that jumping around. Really, gotta love the way everybody on the offense came through on that last drive. And oh was it good to see a touchdown catch again from ED-DIE! ED-DIE! ED-DIE!


And may I just say again, that was an absolutely BRILLIANT DEFENSIVE EFFORT!! All. Game. Long.


GO BRONCOS!!

[/quote:af37d7609a] I know, the Rams got away with pass interference a couple of times that I saw!

And that sandwich looked a lot better than what I had.

[Rally]

Ah yeah, well and apparently pass interferance doesn't count if you are Isaac Bruce being mugged non stop. Then the lovely tripping call on the flat on the ground Torry Holt. Meanwhile, per the lovely NFL style, no calls on the Broncos for the entire first half. As I said, my sandwiches are much better than NFL officials and their completely non biased officiating.

[kbk3022]

Thanks for the extra pics Rally. Now I could probably find a picture of what I had today, but I'm not really sure a pic of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would have the same affect.

Kasey

[Urn of Osiris]

Peanut butter and Jelly YAY!

Sorry I'm lactose intolerant and I don't eat meat. And I'm from WI. Go figure. YAY Pack! Sounds like there were some seriously great games today.

[lilyophelia(d)]

Eeeep...I so don't like football, so I can't even make it through all of these posts...but I hope the weekend is going well for everyone.

[relativegirl]

Oh dear, RL had me down and out this past week working round the clock except for the "i-will-quit-if-you-don't-let-me-go-home-and-watch-my-Broncos" break on Sunday. And I missed Autumn's weekend long thread.

First of all, I would like to throw my belated entries into the "scariest sports paraphenalia" ring:

1. Bronco's socks. Mine have toes -- do yours Autumn?

2. A 45 rpm of Jon Keyworth's "Make Those Miracles Happen"

3. A six pack of Orange Crush (that's pop for those of you in Colorado and soda for those of you on the coasts) from [b:4d29c7aa27] 1977[/b:4d29c7aa27]

4. An unopened package of Hostess Orange Snoballs from [b:4d29c7aa27] 1977[/b:4d29c7aa27] which have NOT turned grey leading me to believe that the Big I T got gouged by buying inferior Snoballs in the 90s

5. A little plastic football autographed by Steve Ramsey. And if you remember who Steve Ramsey is, I doff my Bronco cap in your direction, as you are a true fan.

6. A goblet Riley Odoms drank out of when I waited on him in 1981.


Second of all, Rally, you're absolutly right, those refs were blind. Eddie Mac should've had a touchdown on that post pattern where he was absolutely mauled but no flag was thrown.

Finally, WOO and a BIG ASS HOO!!! GO BRONCOS, GO DEFENSE! I think I want to have Al Wilson's babies.

It's the new smashmouth Broncos baby!!!! Bring it on!

Any Niner's fans in the house wanna wager on this weekend's game? All for the good of the Trevor Project?

[Puff]

A wager you say? But we played very poorly against the Giants although I have hope that Garcia will pull it togther soon and then we can kick ssome ass. And I knew there would be a football thread sometime I was just too busy watching almost all the games this weekend to find it

Oh and I am excited as my 49ner tickets turned up today so I am off to see them play the Seahawks in December. Woo hoo!

Good lord...I even remember who Steve Tensi is...and on a brighter note, I have an autographed Floyd Little photo, which goes back just a bit further than Steve Ramsey. Ooh...and I once had to move a dumbbell out from under a desk that was being occupied by then-retired (and Orange Crush immortal) Bob Swenson and found that my only hope was to s-l-o-w-l-y roll it out from under there. I think it must've weighed about a million pounds and there was much gasping and panting in the aftermath. (One of my many college jobs was office cleaning .) I still own the back twinge from that one, btw...

And thanks, [b:be6aab0252]RG[/b:be6aab0252], I could use a good doff. Your place or mine?

[i:be6aab0252]Edited because I do have manners and a "thank you" was in order...[/i:be6aab0252]

[Rosenberg]

I'll give you points for Steve Tensi, but I actually remember who Frank Tripuca is and I was even around when they had brown and yellow vertically striped socks. Now those were both scary and hideous...

[The Big I T]

sshhhhh...don't tell anyone...but me, too...

[/quote:22808c3d26] Wow. I so lurved Riley. I've never said that especially on a Buffy board. And your post made me remember the day I got Keyworth's autograph when I was just a little kitten on an orange crush scarf.

I think we have the blue crush now.

And if Al's babies look anything like him they ain't gonna be pretty. You'd be better off having Ian or John's babies.

[relativegirl]

Well if it's purdy babies I want, I think the debate starts and ends with Eddie.
