I can't beleive shanahan call as many running play(3) as end-arounds(3) in the first half...

Peyton is not getting an opportunity at all...

 

[whiteathlete33]

So Hillis is starting today? Another NFL rule is when there is a white running back only give him a maximum of 10 carries a game. Rely on the passing game to get you some points.

 

[Don Wassall]

The reluctance to use Hillis is hurting the Broncos' passing game. Really pathetic by Shanahan so far.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Agreed Don. Hopefully they will wise up in the second half. Of course they are already in the hole though, so it will be tough.

 

[Gi-15]

Broncos fans are saying stuff like "lack of running game is killing us" ... broncos aren't even trying, it's not Hillis's fault. running 4 times in a close game like this doesn't make ANY sense

 

[Don Wassall]

They opened the second half with Bell in the backfield.

 

[Gi-15]

Can't beleive I totally ignored the caste system, got my hopes up and though that Hillis would get 20 carries..

 

[Gi-15]

TD Peyton!

 

[Don Wassall]

yeah man!!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Hillis just scored his second touchdown.

just had a run of 12 and a 2 yard TD!!!!

 

[Sean]

Alright Peyton!!

 

[Colonel_Reb]

2 runs and a catchon that TD drive! Hillis is their best weapon, and they better use him if they want to win. Of course, in the Caste NFL, some teams appear at times as if they want to lose rather than start whites at key positions.

 

[white lightning]

Thank you Broncos. Like a previous poster said, they are quickly becoming one of my favorite teams. Cutler is also as good as they come for a young qb.


Peyton Hillis is a beast. I used to watch Spencer Larsen play in college at the University of Arizona. He was a stud then and Denver will love this kid. I hope Peyton can continue to play well and maybe be considered for regular duty down the road.

 

[Sean]

What Larsen's doing is really incredible by the way.

 

[Gi-15]

INT, lets see if they goes to peyton on this drive, or if we'll see more pj.pope/tatum bell...

 

[Gi-15]

Peyton gets taken out of the game after each carries... let the guy get a rythm please

 

[backrow]

sh*t, great tackle by Keith Brooking to deny Peyton his third TD...

 

[Sean]

Brian Finneran getting a bit more involved on that last drive by the Falcons. He and Stokely both have 3 catches each. Let's hope Peyton gets a few carries this drive.

Edit: Nope, it's Pope again to start the drive

Edit again: Hillis gets a 6 yard gain, knocking off a defenders helmet.Edited by: Sean

 

[Gi-15]

ok, Shanahan may not see Peyton as a feature back, but if he keeps getting him 12 touches per game like this I'll be happy.

 

[backrow]

John Standeford just caught his first NFL pass on 4th down.

That was long-deserved

 

[Sean]

Commentators just said the game ball should go to Spencer Larsen.

 

[whiteknight]

Spencer Larsen is an iornman
