GOOO SEAHAWKS!!!

[Ripsnort]

I'm only 25 so no, I doubt it was during your bartending days, maybe I've just seen you at the games.
I'm not going to the parade, but you should take some photos of it!
We should meet up for a beer sometime though!

 

Perhaps Brooke, you and I can hook up down near the Clink? Elysian is a great place for a beer. I'm open on Fridays!

I would like to meet up sometime.  I've got twin 3 year olds, so arranging things other than weekday lunch is harder these days, but I will manage it at some point.

Would love to as well, I have a 1-1/2 year old and another due in may, so meetings can be tricky for me as well, but I'd love to figure something out!

I might as well come so we can make it a foursome.

I used to go to Whidbey Is for 4 summers at a youth football camp with my oldest son from 2006-2010.

Omaha-style POT ROAST!

Sorry couldn't resist!

Just stop man.  We Denver fans love our team as much as you love yours.  We got smoked.  Story over.  Rubbing it in just makes it look classless.

Then don't click on the thread.

up at 3:30am to take my football fanatic wife to the Parade downtown!
Any of you in the area, we'll be at the Red Lion Inn 5th floor restaurant, balcony overlooking 4th ave (parade route)

Oh really? Strength of schedule in August 2013: Seattle 11th. Broncos 32nd. YES, EASIEST schedule while we played one of the TOUGHEST.

1st teams in the 1st quarter, August 2013. Summarized: Keep in mind the Broncos are missing 2 starting OT from that game.

Really?  Preseason?  You've got to be kidding me.

I like Wilson, but he's been playing pretty badly lately.  I guarantee he's praying for snow and high winds.

Just a reminder, history is a good thing to learnt!

Super Bowl XLVIII: This will be the seventh time, since 1994, teams who faced off in the preseason play in the Super Bowl. The team that won the meaningless game went on to win five of the six previous Super Bowls.

I've been doing a bit of research on Richard Sherman...  He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players.  He reminds me of a mix between Steve Atwater and Ronnie Lott (position aside), with a touch of Champ Bailey mixed in (the trail position, and using rotation to slow the receiver).

Even after the epic beatdown, he was a class act.  I'm hoping Denver and Seattle get back to the dance next year and give us all a good show.

"- Sherman writes of Manning: “He’s a Hall of Fame player, he’s a living legend, he’s a record-holding
quarterback, he’s a Super Bowl champion, he’s been a Super Bowl MVP. Peyton is the Classiest person/player I have ever met! I could learn so
 much from him! Thank you for being a great Competitor and person.”

We get to play in the regular season as well next year...  That should be fun.

I'll be rooting for your Hawks as long as they aren't playing my Broncos.

What is the Bronco's strength of schedule in 2014? I know we were 11th most difficult in 2013, this year I heard we're 8th.

Traditionally the SB winner plays the first game of the following season, on Thursday night football, at home.

The discussion is who will it be?
Obviously Seattle at home but vs:
Denver? (SB match up part 2)
Green Bay? (Remember the replacement refs and end zone finish in 2012?)
SF? (DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT ME CRABTREE!)
it will definitely be one of those three teams.

Oh, and I was rooting the Broncos all the way until they faced Seattle! Go Broncos!

Denver has a pretty solid looking schedule so far...  You really never know though about strong teams from year to year (Texans).  I have a feeling that the Bengals, and possibly the Chiefs are going to suffer pretty big letdowns this coming year.

Home:  Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Bills, Dolphins, Cardinals, 49ers, Colts

Away:  Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Patriots, Rams, Jets, Seahawks, Bengals

I'd say they'll need to stay pretty healthy to go 13-3 again.  The good thing is that 11-5 will still probably win the AFC West.

Seattle 6th, Broncos 2nd. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 2013 Broncos had the 32nd hardest schedule (easiest)

Yep...  JDR is going to have to do some serious work with the D this offseason.  Having Miller, Moore, Vickerson, and Harris back will surely help, but I really think they need to address the MLB slot to truly be on track.  I like Miller and Trevathan on the outsides, but Nate Irving or Wesley Woodyard just won't cut it in the middle.  They're both quick to the edges, but neither will close a hole and leave a running back laying on the ground with snot bubbles.

This offseason is gonna be pretty interesting.
