I've got to believe

That if you play most of the Broncos games on paper this year they don’t stack up well. They, at least the first 6 weeks, played better than any numbers would indicate going into the games. So it doesn’t surprise me that on paper this reads as a likely Chargers win.

Plus

I think having their QB hobbled a bit gives us some extra cushioning, percentage wise.

Injured Orton

expected to perform better than PR..??? Hmmm…. or not…

I think

They are expected the Broncos defense to keep the Chargers offense a little quieter than usual. But, also for the Broncos offense to be really quiet. Or, they just expect the Broncos to have to throw a lot to catch up.

They're

Projecting him at 24/37 for 252 and almost 2 TD’s. That’s a BETTER game than he had against us last time.

Last game Orton:

In a way, that makes sense

The return game took away a couple drives from him by scoring touchdowns (those bastards). If you take away those returns and figure that the Chargers stop the run game better then that adds up to more passes by the Broncos QB.

I suppose that makes sense

It doesn’t really take into account that our defense is playing better and we’ve actually started to bring some pass rush this time. In our last game we hit Orton twice, hurried him 4 times and sacked him once. Horrible numbers.

We also weren’t running any of our new corner/safety blitz packages either. Orton has proven in the last few games that he isn’t as stable under pressure and I think we can bring a LOT more pressure than we brought last game.

I think you're right.

I mean, they pretty much have to.

If Rivera comes out with the same defense he used against the Eagles, it’s gonna be a long day…

One has to imagine there’s a different game plan for the Broncos than for the Eagles.

Let's hope.

Well.....

Nobody really knows whats going to be the final stats for a player until the game is over and played.He might throw for 125 yds and 5 INTS,we can only speculate and have fun with the numbers that are out there.

I don’t think it’s this close, particularly with either a banged up Orton or a rusty Simms.

Half a TD for Tomlinson

lets see, that should put him 28.5 behind Smith.

Which reminds me...

Idk how Orton is going to throw for “1.5” touchdowns, but if ESPN says it will happen, then by god go for it.

Given the definition of "Mugshot"

it is… Just not for prison.
1st of all, I don’t see Orton outplaying Rivers
2nd of all, I don’t see tomlinson outplaying Either of the top two Denver backs.
4th of all, there is no 3rd of all
5th of all, Cromartie is going to get 3 picks, because I want him to.
