So yeah, Mile High!

On my list of road stadiums to visit. Did a newspaper in kansas really write this article???

"Multiple NFL teams have complained the high marijuana to oxygen ratio inside Mile High Stadium gives the marijuana-trained Broncos an unfair advantage at home against incoming teams from states where marijuana remains appropriately illegal."

Complained? I rather doubt that. Dwayne Bowe still wants to know if Sonic is open.

I really have to question Andy Reid not going for it on two occasions. The worst one was when they had it on the Denver 1--even if you don't get it you back the Broncos up very deep. The other one was when they had 4th and about 4 in no-man's land when they were down by 14.

I would have been shocked if the Chiefs had pulled this one out. I've had this circled as a loss since the schedule came out (I've had others circled as losses too, but this was the only one I was just about 100% on). And I honestly still think the Broncos will sweep the Chiefs. Of course, I'll be rooting for the opposite.

But, yeah, I've said all year the Chiefs just don't have the offense to compete with Manning. Our D can keep a leash on him, but our O can't match him score for score. I'm just glad we didn't get completely blown out.

As for Reid not going for it... the one on Denver's 1, you ALWAYS take points against Manning. And even if he starts on the 1 yard line, chances are better than not that he'll score. Always take points. Always, always, always. The likelihood of our offense scoring a TD was much less than the likelihood of Manning leading a 99 yard drive for 6 points.

And on the second one, you never give Manning field position if you don't have to. And Alex was having a bad habit of losing us yards on important downs. I'm totally fine with Reid's calls on both occasions given how poorly our O was playing and how close the game was compared to how it could have been.

Great article, thanks for posting!

I know, I never expected this to be a "who cares?' game in that it's expected to be a Saints blowout. I'm get a pizza tonight & watch anyway but will probably start flipping channels or watching some stuff off the dvr before it's over.

I've said this before, but it's time to deep six Thursday night football. Just load up more games on Sunday - makes watching the Red Zone - especially the late 4 p.m. games - more fun.

Well, I should say that I think that (barring something special like a tie game with 4 seconds left) teams should always go for it on 4th and goal from the 1. But to me, when you're going up against a good offense it justifies going for it more often, not less. If you trade TDs for FGs, by mathematical definition you're going to lose.

I can't agree with that at all. Field goals don't beat Manning. As a Bronco fan Sunday night, believe me, please ... kick a field goal on every drive.

Also, Bill Barnwell had a good breakdown of this and his stats show that Manning (like pretty much everyone, or so I'd have to assume) is VERY unlikely to score when starting from his own 1.

I know it didn't matter in the end because they scored on the next play, but there is no way they had enough evidence to overturn that first TD. Ron Winter isn't going to be working any playoff games this year, hopefully.
