2019 Broncos' Season, Week 15


Week 15: Kansas City Chiefs 23, Broncos 3
Season Record: 5-9 (3-3 Home)
Key Play: In the first quarter, with the game scoreless, Patrick Mahomes connected with speedster Tyreek Hill on a 41-yard touchdown bomb that gave the Chiefs a 6-0 lead. The Broncos never recovered.

Recap: In what was a cold, snowy and sloppy game Sunday, it was never close. Drew Lock won his first two starts, and he wasn't terrible Sunday, but the Broncos were simply dominated by a better team. The Chiefs moved to 10-4 and are cruising toward the playoffs. The Broncos are 5-9, and it was a learning experience. They close with two home games against sub-.500 teams, so it will be good to see how the Broncos can finish and if Lock can keep growing. For now, it wasn't a good performance, but a thin Broncos team is running out of steam in another lost season. It's time to look toward the off-season and a hope for 2020, which begins with a good showing against the Lions on Sunday and the Raiders on 12-29.

Game Balls:
* Courtland Sutton. Sutton grabbed four passes for 79 yards and went over 1,000 for the season. He's had a good year.
* Noah Fant. Fant had two passes for 56 yards, including a 43-yard bomb. He's looked good as a rookie and fought through injuries.
* Justin Simmons. Simmons had some good plays, including a fantastic interception. One of the few defensive highlights for the Broncos.

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...
