Vs. Kansas City Chiefs (W 9-6) Ding Dong #1 (Tatum) did most of the rushing this week, with Ding Dong #2 (Mike) playing the part of tackling dummy. Javon Walker, who's supposed to catch passes, had two of the biggest rushes of the day. 21 yards on back-to-back identical end-around plays. Walker also had the most notable catches of the day, as well. Including a big 28 yarder that set up the Broncos winning field goal in overtime. It was Walker's first significant game in Donkey Blue and it got his picture in the AP wire service. Only problem is that Walker played the game with his jersey untucked and might receive a fine from the league office. Gotta' keep those shirttails in line. The Donkey win ruined a windbagged story about Chefs back-up QB Damon Huard. Huard was making his first start since Elian Gonzalez was newsworthy. Thankfully, CBS, the #1 most-watched network that tells us about it, was there to cover every angle of this terrific human interest story. Huard was a perfect 8-for-8 and CBS helpfully told us that he hadn't fired an incompletion in six years. Later, Huard called his first TIME OUT in six years! The milestones just kept on coming as Huard put his hands under a sweaty lineman's ass for the first time in six years. In the third quarter, Huard caught his own batted pass and proceeded to fumble for the first time in six years. When the game was over he notched his first loss in six years and had thrown for the exact numbers of touchdowns he had in those years-- zero. What does the Chefs' Annoying Radio Douchebag say about this? "Two Field Goals!! Kannn-ZASSSSS CITY!!" Of course, Jake Plummer had the same effect on his team. Plummer put up Ben Roethlisberger on Monday Night Football numbers, becoming the goat of all fantasy football dweebs with a 56.7 QB rating. I believe you're given 48 rating points for starting the game and handling the first snap. Rod Smith went out with consussion-like symptoms in the second half. But even when Rod was in, it appears teams have become wise to his 10-12 yard crossing routes. For the second week in a row, the Bronco offense had more misfires than the North Korean Missile Program. Even more disturbing, the Bronco offense hasn't really run smoothly since Christmas Eve against Oakland. After the game, the Donkey locker room kept talking about the dreaded "Talent" word. For the 6,578th time in the past five years, we were all reminded that this team has "too much talent". Good to know. Can't wait for that "Denver Broncos Performing Arts Festival" this winter. I hear Kenard Lang can blow 4-foot wide soap bubbles and Cooper Carlisle can burp the alphabet. Talent! On Monday, they made a mild tweak to the offense as they signed WR Quincy Morgan and waived Charlie Adams. It'll be weeks until Morgan makes it into a game, but the addition of "extra talent" will stuff the envelope even more. I wonder if Morgan can play a musical intrument? The Broncos are now running parallel to last year's team. After an embarassing road loss, they stumbled at home but squeaked out a tough win over a division opponent. This weekend they go to New England for a rematch with those guys in the silver helmets. Denver usually matches up with New England well. So this should be a decent measuring stick to see how far along the Broncos are. Or how far they have to go.
FINAL CUTS ...||...Cedric Cobbs (who was tied with Tatum Bell as YOUR choice for starting RB in the eStragand Poll) was in uniform on Sunday, returning kicks. He fumbled his lone returnable ball in overtime. Quincy Morgan was signed the next day. Ask Todd Kinchen how Mike Shanahan feels about fumbled returns. ...||...Feel bad for Aaron Brooks. What could posisbly be worse than getting your brains beat in with the Saints? Getting your brains beat in with the Raiders. ...||...The Week Two "my boy" award: FB Kyle Johnson.
