2019 Broncos' Season, Week 3



Week 3: Green Bay Packers 27, Broncos 16
Season Record: 0-3 (0-1 Home)
Key Play: In the third quarter, with the Broncos trailing 17-10 and taking the first drive of the half, Joe Flacco connected with rookie TE Noah Fant, who fumbled. The ball went over to the Packers, who scored to make it 24-10. The Broncos never recovered.

Recap: The Broncos are 0-3, and while there is plenty of blame to put around, it's difficult to make a case for laying it all at the feet of Flacco. He hasn't been incredible, but he's not the problem. The Broncos' vaunted defense has yet to record a sack or a turn over, and the offensive line allowed six sacks of Flacco on Sunday. The Broncos showed some sparks and flashes, but this is already a lost season and we're still in September. And there is plenty of blame to spread around. For now, it's about trying to get better and hoping this team can finally get a win when they host the Jaguars on Sunday.

Game Balls:
* Phillip Lindsay. The second-year back has not had a hot start to the season, but with 81 yards rushing and two TDs on Sunday, along with four receptions for 49 yards, he made his presence felt.
* Courtland Sutton. The second year receiver pulled in five passes for 87 yards to pace the passing game Sunday.

Lingering Concerns:
* The defense. It hasn't been awful, but having no sacks or turnovers is a concern that needs to be addressed.
* Offensive Line. It all starts up front. No penalties is better, but the Broncos still have plenty of work to do.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
