That must be you I guess
These threads should support 400 comments easy.
We try to keep it around 200 here at BTB.

Pacman is not playing tonight.

Per Kristy Scales
Hurd has a sprained ankle, xrays negative I guess. Icing it on the sideline.

That was a little nifty...
Amendola was open, too bad the blitz got in Bartel’s face.
by Brandon Worley on Aug 28, 2008 8:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Damn quite the reaction to the punt, how far was it?
by mhuff13 on Aug 28, 2008 8:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
If amendola makes this team, its only because of the injuries to the receivers
He’s nothing special at all.

Haha
From the Broncos blog re: Holland trade:
Coming from his sister in law… I’d like to say to the Broncos you just traded one of your best players. Too bad for you and Yippeeee to the Cowboys. Love ya bro. See you soon.

I'm really liking the idea
I want to see if Houck can make him into a road-grader to complement Bigg. We’ll see how he transitions to LG.
by grapejoos on Aug 28, 2008 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
pretty nice return
but if he’d gotten outside that coulda been 6
by scottmaui on Aug 28, 2008 8:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Bartel missed two passes right there..
Tough throw to Bennett there.

That sums it up.
Unfortunately, I don’t think he has that kind of motor.

that means he is thinking too much

nicknames
I agree with whoever said this on the broadcast… Pit Bull has a bad connotation in football.
I like Cricket just fine, it has a good backstory and it is ironic.

another decent return
he found a seam to get what he could out of it

nice play
that was enough to get in range for a 52 yarder…
by scottmaui on Aug 28, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That was pretty good.
Good way to end the half.
by Brandon Worley on Aug 28, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Good!
from 52 yards, Folkin-A
that was 50 second drive.
by scottmaui on Aug 28, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
they did screw up on the clock management there
that was a coaching mistake.
but it worked out okay they still executed what they needed to.

Alright, that's enough of that
Stay healthy Boys!

First half thoughts:
Sam Hurd: Have to see how bad it is. The good news is that these injuries won’t last long. Problem is, coming in as a FA wide reciever off the street isn’t all that easy. We would just need someone for depth.
Bartel. Almost threw a pick, other than that made some okay decisions, and moved the balls.
WR’s: Danny A and Jefferson looked pretty good. Amendola looks pretty good returning punts.
ST: Great coverage tonight, and McBriar is a beast.
by Brandon Worley on Aug 28, 2008 8:27 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Forgot him...
Bennett: Some confusion with him on a couple of plays, but who knows who was at fault when he and the RB ran the same route next to each other. Other than that he looked pretty good. Used his frame to shield the defender on the pass and made some good grabs.

I don't know if I like suite owners having first row seats...
to me that means a lot of empty seats in the first row during games, but who knows.

yo what's up boys
just got here but have been watching the game.. Hard to see any detail viewing online but Bartel looks pretty good eh?
by sublimezg on Aug 28, 2008 8:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Hasn't made too many bad decisions.
by Brandon Worley on Aug 28, 2008 8:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
a couple into the turf
one coulda been a pick 6
but decent overall

Skins
WAS losing to JAC 24 to 3 in the 4th quarter… and they were going to be playing their starters! ouch

Roommate's got a friend who plays receiver for Baylor
So we’re watching THAT instead… kill me.
Who’s looking good?

Is it just me,
or does Bartel seem to be consistently high?
by Mandmeisterx on Aug 28, 2008 8:42 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
On his throws or from smoking something?

Ogelsby saves the TD
at least they held them. but not a great defensive series…

If it's any kind of hint,
Tommy Maddux and Jim Druckenmiller were the two best QB’s in the league. HAHA

Okay, I watched about 1 minute of clips

I look for Carp to lead us in tackles again tonight
Too bad they are all going to be at least 8 yards down the field.

Thought Bartel's biggest strength was his arm strength?
by Mandmeisterx on Aug 28, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well there's more to the deep ball than just heaving it...
It’s about touch as well.

Watkins
from DMN blog
Pat Watkins might have suffered a stinger. He has range of motion in his right arm and appeared to tell athletic trainer Jim Maurer that he was OK.

10 men
wasn’t walden the one on hard knocks that wasn’t out on the field when he was supposed to be and forced Wade to run out onto the field to call a timeout?
by scottmaui on Aug 28, 2008 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
BTW it was Walden
It was a defensive play so it definitely wasn’t Lowber. But you can hear Stewart say Walden, and then Carp is scolding 53 “you gotta be on it dude”

I feel sorry for Coleman
no opportunity to show what he can do, with this blocking

I realize part of it was the back's fault,
but he was spun around as it was.

Geez....let's get a first down in the 2nd half sometime.

first penalty of the game
that’s a good sign

good thing preseason is over
two more preseason games and we might not have any receivers

this isn’t good for building my confidence in the backup oline
no wonder they got holland
by scottmaui on Aug 28, 2008 9:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I know he's under a ton of pressure,
but Bartel needs to get rid of the ball faster.
by Mandmeisterx on Aug 28, 2008 9:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Good thing he has ice water in his veins.
The Buffalo kicks had nothing on this.
by Mandmeisterx on Aug 28, 2008 9:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wonder who the better receiver is
Tnew or Pac.. It’s almost time to find out
