The autumn wind is a pirate so screw the past two weeks.
The Sports Radio waves are humming loudly with the vibrations of discontent is wake of a second straight Broncos loss.
But didn’t we all know that the Falcons and the Texans would be really, really good? Yes, we did. And haven’t the Broncos managed to make the outcomes of each of the past two games closer than we though they would? Yes, they have.
So they’re 1-2. It’s no big deal.
I propose that, unlike last week, when we buzzed about Peyton Manning’s noodle-armed first half performance versus Atlanta right up until Friday, that this week we fans put our laser, rocket focus squarely on the task now at hand – beating the Oakland Raiders at our place. Win that one and it’s all good. The Broncos will be .500 again and have a softer piece of their schedule ahead.
Today we woke to a chill of autumn in the air. That chill rode in on a wind that kicked up around 6 pm, just as the Broncos game wrapped up. It was the spirit of Oakland advance-scouting Broncos Country.
We will be ready at 2:15 next Sunday afternoon. That’s all that matters now.
The Raiders treated their fans to an overtime win against the Steelers yesterday. We can’t under estimate the Silver and Blech, but the Broncos didn’t need a field goal to handle Pittsburgh. They handled ’em pretty easily. Making the Raiders their bitches in week four will allow the Broncos to put the Falcons and Texans games behind them and get on with the business of making the playoffs.
