jags>>>brincos

[edens_apple]

I can't stand the jags ever since they stole that game from us in the playoffs. Anyways, I had to look at this just cuz of the "brincos" what is that? Oh I get, On the brink of greatness.

DENVER OFFENSE: I wrote the following in one of my 2010 NFL Preseason Recaps: "I'm not sure who Denver's starting quarterback is right now, but it's certainly not Kyle Orton. This man may look like Orton and talk like Orton, but he's not playing like Orton. The guy wearing Orton's jersey has inexplicably shown improved arm strength this preseason."

I wasn't joking about this. Orton looks like a completely different quarterback. I'm not saying he's John Elway or anything, but it's possible that he could lead Denver to a winning record (especially considering the schedule), as he looks really comfortable with Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney and Eddie Royal as his receivers.

And it's not like the Jaguars can stop the pass anyway. Their pass rush is abysmal - they could easily finish last in sacks again - and their secondary is in shambles. Rashean Mathis has really fallen off recently, and the team's starting safeties are Sean Considine and Anthony Smith. This has to be a joke. I mean, the Jaguars have to be hiding a talented defensive player or two somewhere in their locker room, right?

JACKSONVILLE OFFENSE: Maurice Jones-Drew scared all 25 Jaguar fans this offseason when rumors floated around that he had knee surgery. But Jones-Drew is fine and will start this game to the chagrin of the Broncos. Denver's run defense was awful toward the end of the 2009 campaign, and while the team signed Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan this offseason, I don't expect things to improve much in this department.

With Jones-Drew ripping off long gains, it'll make life even easier for David Garrard. Elvis Dumervil is out for the year, so I'm not sure where Denver's pass rush is going to come from.

The Broncos' defensive strength is in the secondary. Champ Bailey should be able to limit Mike Sims-Walker, so Garrard will have to look toward the emerging second-year Mike Thomas pretty often. Thomas saw a ton of targets in Jacksonville's third preseason game, so maybe Jack Del Rio was preparing for this contest. Wait, did I just say "Jack Del Rio" and "preparing" in the same sentence? Just disregard everything I said about Thomas.

RECAP: Speaking of Del Rio, the laziest coach in America probably won't be game planning too hard for this contest. Del Rio, 0-10 against the spread as a favorite and 4-16 against the spread versus non-divisional foes, simply doesn't care about contests like these.

What's more damning is that owner Wayne Weaver criticized Del Rio's work ethic last December, yet he didn't fire Del Rio after the season because he didn't want to pay two coaches. Then again, I can't really blame Weaver because the Jacksonville Jaguars lost $144 million in team value in the past year.

At any rate, I fully expect Denver to prevail over the Jaguars and their half-baked game plan. I feel like the Broncos are the superior team anyway.

"brincos".....did you mean "blinkos" as in "blink your eyes and they are no longer relevant"....or did you mean "brinkos" as in "on the brink of exstinktion?

[Broncos-R-Great]

mjd doesn't have a bum knee, that was a false report, they just rested him for the season opener. your also underrating our passing attack we have some real good young talent at the position that lead the preseason in yards

Lead in preseason yards? The highest Jaguar receiver I could find is Troy Williams ranked 38th (thats not exactly top). For an example of leading the NFL look at Denver's Matt Willis who is ranked 2nd in the NFL.

The Jaguars are ranked 10th in the NFL in passing yards (not bad), but the Broncos 5th ranking is better.

face the truth, the jags will win. orton is dink and dunk qb, RB are all injured, offensive line is injured, champ is old and will tire by the 4th querter, no doom, scrubs and old WRs, and you still can't stop the run which is the jags main weapon. win jags...start crying mile high waist dump

Old WRs? The average age of the Jaguars WRs is 25, the average age of the Broncos WRs is 25.5, so I guess if you want to argue over a half a year then they are older.

We are still trying to figure out who exactly are the Brincos. So far, the only info we can be sure of is that Brincos have more ticket holders than Jacksonville and at least as many Super Bowls as San Diego.

With that info I'm surprised you haven't narrow it down yet.

I truly believe though that the 2010 Broncos are on the verge of exstinktion again. Just my opinion.

I think we'll be fine. Overall our roster is better and our schedule is easier than in 2009.

First of all McCown who was a Browns and TB reject is your best QB (Yes he is better then Garrard). Your running game is 31st in the NFL and with Drew looking like a joke in offseason it wont change much. Your passing game was worse then ours but with Thomas your best Receiver still 2nd string Ild say you guys wont improve much.

The only reason anyone in jacksonville is going to the game is to see Tebow play and he may not even do that

big slap to the face to T-blow fans if they pay to watch him sit the bench


orton's good year is the exception not the rule. he had Brandon Marshal, shefler, and stokley which are no longer there. he also had a stout offensive line which has been dropping like flies. give Garrard the same tools and he could put up better numbers.

If my memory serves me right Stokley and Scheffler were not major factors in out O last year

Stanely Daniels and JD Walton are the only changes to the O-line.

It's still a stout line.

YOU FAIL SIR!

And Im sure on monday all the Jag fans will be saying" but,but,but Orton wasnt supposed to be that good. Marshall was supposed to be thier whole offense. What happened and how did Den beat us so badly"?
