I'm back boys.... and Sandra. What'd I miss? Did all yous behave? (Grandma Provenzano always says "yous". And I'm trying to honor her by using it more in my own vocabulary. It's an Italian thing. )

NEVER argue with Grandma Provenzano!!!

Projecting into next year & next year's draft,I predict that Kellen Moore will remain a "Bronco(a Denver Bronco)." I base this theory on the fact that the Broncos will keep Tim Tebow as their starter next year,& Quinn Brady is a free agent & will most likely go to another team,hopefully to blossom like Matt Moore seems to have for the Dolphins this year. Drafting Kellen Moore would give the Broncos a suitable back-up(kind of like the "wannabe" spare tire in your trunk),& because he is also left-handed,most of the offensive schemes,AND blocking,won't have to change is Tebow gets injured. You just won't have a "fullback" running down your throat on QB sneaks. It will be more like Maurice Jones-Drew or Darren Sproles running a QB sneak.

I think Moore would be a good choice, but he doesn't run the option.
If Moore gets with the right team I think he will be a VERY good pro QB.

You missed yet another notch in the autumn decline that was the Bills' once-promising season

I haven't went back and read the pages I've missed yet, but I can also assume I missed 20 or 30 pages worth of Tebow/Denver excuses.

Actually, there wasn't so much of that. Tebow played OK, Denver's defense couldn't stop New England enough to give Tebow a chance. It happens. Especially against New England.

yep pretty much. Especially the Vikes and Bears games it was more of how he WON the game instead of how the opponents lost the game

LOL well Marion Barber got absolutely destroyed in here (and everywhere else) for running out of bounds in regulation, and then fumbling on OT. It's not often that one man is singled out to that extent for losing a football game.

the week earlier when Ponder threw 2 INT's
one for a pick 6
the other with a buck fifteen left in the 4th in a tie game

Yeah, Denver's defense was playing pretty well until they ran up against New England and their 15 tight ends nobody can cover...

You have to admit that those were key factors though. Forty more seconds could have been run off if Barber had stayed inbounds, and the Bears were already in FG range at the time of the fumble...
