And here come the East Coast trolls, specifically the Patsies fans, whose team "dominated" mighty Buffalo 17-10 today. Wow, what a blowout.

The New England Cheatahs are 8-5, just like us - now take a wicked pissah and ooze back to the ESPN/Pats thread, cool?

The 2004 Patriots team lost to the ultimately 4-12 Dolphins that same year, 1 of only 2 losses for them that year.

You, of all people, should know how these division rivalries work.

I enjoy football and the Broncos but I am no expert so this may be off base, but I think one of the Broncos' problems is that coach McDaniels has fallen too much in love with Moreno. I do believe he is a good running back, but he seems to do better when he is rotated in and out with others. I realize that Buckhalter is hurt, but Hillis is pretty good. I'm not sure why Hillis is in the doghouse but I hope McDaniels gets over whatever he's mad at him about or Buckhalter heals up, because I think they'd do better with a second guy in there.
Just a thought...

I'm not even sure I have recovered yet from that Raider game, and then the Chargers clinching the AFC West was about all I could take. I hope they do no go far, I think Indy has their number, right?

Hillis is "in the doghouse" because earlier this year he was one screw up after another waiting to happen. He's also had problems learning offenses going all the way back into high school and McDaniels offense is about as complicated as you can get. Shanahan benched him for the same problems early last year and only put Hillis on the field when he had no other choice.

Our problem on offense is that we need upgrades at center and left guard and our starting right tackle is on injured reserve. Those are easy problems to correct.

Comparing the Broncos loss, to a J Marcus led raiders team to a 2004 Pats team (which started the year 2-2 and finished 14-2) is reaching, at best.

No it's not. It illustrates my point perfectly.

That Super Bowl winning Patriots team lost to a Dolphins team that is a divisional rival yet just as pathetic the Raiders team we just lost to, so how can it be a reach to use that to illustrate why a lesser team (2009 Broncos) lost to a divisional rival as well?
