Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for NFL with Clevenricua. We'll start off.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Work the recently benched Justin Field's Jets taking on the
New England Patriots.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Trevion Henderson getting home.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Crow set in the backfield with Diggs back there, Fay
out of the gun, looks left.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Roe's luck.

Speaker 5 (00:18):
We're in the back of the hands on Henderson kept
his feeding bounds.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
His third store of the nights.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
A seven yard touchdown passed by Craike May.

Speaker 6 (00:28):
I call courtesy of Tom McCarthy with Westwood one and
the only other team at nine and two, like the
Broncos and New England Patriots.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, Patriots surprising and everybody. I'm not surprised Mike Rabel's
having success. I'm surprised he's having this much success in
this fast But Drake May's really grown up this season
and Rabel's got that team humming.

Speaker 7 (00:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (00:48):
When you think about the Patriots and how they're winning games,
sometimes they lean on the arm of Drake May. In
this particular game they were talking about gets the Jets.
It was all Travion Henderson with three rushing.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Touchdown that was Justin Fields finally got over one hundred
yards passing deep in the fourth quarter through for one
hundred and sixteen total yards, and the Jets decide to
throw him away for Torod Taylor this week, so we'll
see what happens with that. Commanders at the Dolphins fitting
that this game, in which both teams passed up field goals,
was decided by you guessed it a field goal, yes not?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
And hold a good and the kick is good.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Miami win it in the Spanish capital over time, but
it's the.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
Dolphins that go dancing out of Spain win a sixteen
to thirteen victory.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
Always love Oliver Wilson's calls with west Wood One, and
it looked like neither team wanted to win that game.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, this was ugly there at the end.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I sort of got what they were trying to do
when they were when they went for it, trying to
pin them deep and all.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It just it was just ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Washington probably should have won this game and choked it away.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Miami comes away with.

Speaker 8 (01:52):
W Yeah, Washington should have won the game. But this
is where having a two minute offense and a four
minute offense comes in, and Marcus Mariota throws that interception
in overtime and puts the Dolphins in a great position
to kick the game winning field go and I feel
for my dude Pagana right now, right he and Dan Quinn.

(02:12):
But guess what they can catch another hell when they
played the Broncos in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's gonna be a little bit more difficult for the
Broncos as the Commanders have released Matt Gay, who missed
two field goals in the Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
In that game, Panthers take it on the Falcons.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's a twenty eight yarder for the win. Jansen to
snap JJ the snap, Mark puts it down, Fitzgerald swings
the leg, the kick is good, and the Panthers walk
it off and over time again in Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
A Niche shrop with WRFX on that call. But the
big news coming out of this game the Michael Pennocks
and an injury.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna be.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Kirk Cousins going forward here.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
And that's what Michael Pennix's sixth season ending injury since
high school.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 8 (03:00):
And here's what's interesting about this game. Bryce Young throws
for I believe the most yards he's thrown in his
young career and Taed McMillan man he went off instar
as fantasy numbers and I mean side note.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
He was one of the reasons that I lost this week.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh well there you go.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I yes, I went and got Sean Tucker and then
left him on my bench for Alvin Kamara who's on
a bye week.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Still one, it's still one.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Wow. Interesting, everybody can keep Bubblo. Take it on Tampa
and let James Cook allan of.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
The shotgun on first and ten for the twenty five
orbit motion from Shakir back to pass, steps up in
the pocket, looks for Cook on.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
The wheel route, and he's into the end zone. The
Cook is in the kitchen for.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
A twenty five yard touchdown reception.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Chris Brown with w GR saying that a lot this
year with how many times Cook.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Has got into that kitchen.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
This game was back and forth until it wasn't and
the Bills ran away with it.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I don't think you want to get a shootout
with Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
You gotta find ways to kind of kind of take
some of the air out of that. Sean Tucker nineteen
carries one hundred and six yards two touchdowns on the
ground just for good measure to catches thirty four and
another touchdown in the air and a losing effort.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
Well, this is a great way for Josh Allen and
the Bills to kind of bounce back after that disappointing
laws in Miami just a week ago. So the question
is who's the real Josh Allen and who with the
real Bills.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
By the way, Josh Allen three touchdown passes, three touchdown rushes,
second time in his career, only the third time it's
ever been done in NFL history. The only other time
nineteen fifty four.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Auto Graham sounds about it.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Chargers going west coast to east coast and they got
absolutely decrimflinated.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's a real word.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Look it up by the Jags including our only friend,
our old friend, Tim Patrick.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Under centers Trevor take to talk. They talked to the
back of the handle.

Speaker 9 (04:50):
Good for the touchdown, but poy think Tim Patrick in
the back of the end on a one yard touchdown passed, they've.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Extended the lead.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh good is that?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's pretty good?

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Frank fra gwj XL on the call, and man, I
know the Chargers are seven and three, but they look
like they're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, that's uh. They did not look good against Jacksonville.
I called Jacksonville the Jags. I called him on fraud
watch all week. Might be the Chargers on fraud watch
after that?

Speaker 7 (05:19):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 8 (05:19):
Man, When you look at the team that's been decimated
by injuries across the offensive line, for more importantly, they
bring it running back after running back, only to watch
those guys fall in this fall on the injury report.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
This team is definitely in trouble.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
But hey, as a Broncos fan, I love it.

Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I mean, look, it's making it so much easier for Denverse.
They move along to get to be observational. During the
bye week, Bears taking on the Minnesota Vikings and man
Field goals for or to win here at US Banks Stadium,
snap his back, pull this good?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Sweet the right leg Tyro Santos is up.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
Has gone God, God, God for.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Forty eight Caro sactospopped.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
How the Viking Loco's been a.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Long time since there's been this excite, much excitement in Chicago.
Jeff Joniac with WMVP on the call, and don't look
now the Bears first place in.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
The NFC North seven to three, Vikings down to four
and six, and JJ McCarthy not looking great. Sixteen to
thirty two, only a buck fifty two interceptions in that one.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
You know what was interesting about this particular game, before
that kick by Chicago, it just seemed as though Minnesota
Vikers were going to win that game.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
And then the Bears.

Speaker 8 (06:33):
Got that Austin return to kind of change their force.
And I was like, how quickly, I mean, as a
flip of a coin that things change. And we used
to remember when the Bears used to lose games like this,
but they're finding ways to win them.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
So not your father's Bears.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
They are the Packers at the New York Giants. Jamis
Winston in there for the Giants, but the Packers even
with Malik Willis and Jordan Loves but the quarterback duties
Green Bay for any boy.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
One shotgun snapped the lobby bobble for mom, and I
lost the right tet of the Endo watch and.

Speaker 10 (07:06):
Looking up night.

Speaker 11 (07:10):
Push lot my mile.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Mind at Wayne Lairvie with w R and W on
the call. And even though the Packers got to win,
the highlight of the day for.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Me Jamis Winston's touchdown dance.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, there was a lot of a lot of.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Stuff going on with that. When I had the Giants
looked like they had a chance there. Jamis was had
the offense going a little bit, but the ground game
really finally got going for New York.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
And now when they just hope weren't able to pull
away with a.

Speaker 8 (07:35):
Win for Green Bay, you get Christian Watson back. But
in this game against the Giants, they had to watch
Josh Jacobs go to the locker room and not return.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
That is going to be a musty.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
Watch, especially if you knowing as though the Green Bay
Packers played the Denver Broncos in a couple of weeks here.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, Packers are all over the place too.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
This is one that's that's bugging me.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Bengels at the Steelers single, you gotta pick six.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Baco gets the Snapstel, there's bringing.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Five flack over the middle of field.

Speaker 10 (08:04):
That's picked off.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
It's tugger tugger to the forty yard line, racing across
the fifty to the forty looking.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
For a clock from Herbing gets it Tricky.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Out the left sideline, fischiosness and waltzes into the end zone.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
That was an incredible play and a great call by
Rob King with w dve and the five hundred thousand
dollars spit from Jamar Chase.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That guy tried to.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
Lie about it too.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
You caught it eight k like it was so crystal clear.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Said no, it was an AI.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
It was real me. He was pulling the Chappelle defense out.
There was a digital spit. Oh my god, it was
so utterly ridiculous. Texans at the Titans. Should not have
been a game winning field goal. Should have been a blowout.

Speaker 12 (08:44):
Thirty five yard field goal ASP for the win. White
hashbar by Matthew White. Here's the spot, here's the kick.
It's good the Texans winning at.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
The buzzer and they get back to five hundred.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
They needed that one.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Mark Vandermere with Kilt on the call, and the Titans
still playing tough games, but I can't find a.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Way to win.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, it's going to be an interesting They've got a
few pieces. Whoever takes over the teams next year's got
a few pieces.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
To work with.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
It's interesting.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
Davis Mills continues to hold down the fort and says CJ.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Shroud comes back.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
That's two games for Davis Mills, who victories back to back.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
That is just for him. Yeah, he's been playing pretty well.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
The forty Niners taking on the Arizona Cardinals, and Arizona
streak of close losses and wins seems to have run
out as they've gone back to back with the Seahawks
and the Niners and losing by three scores.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Third and goal from the four CMC back into the game,
can they pete man cover it, party to throw again,
floats it into the end.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Zone pital for the second time.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
Stix up forty.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
Nine ers Carlos Ramirez with kmbr on the call. Brock
Party back for the Niners, and Jacoby Brissett breaking the
record for completions in.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
A game, in a game they lost by twenty.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, forty seven to fifty seven, for four hundred and
fifty two yards and two touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
He also had two interceptions in there.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
They only ran the ball twelve times, Carter Reena twice,
De Marcado five and Bam Knight five, getting almost no
yardage out of all that. Michael Wilson one hundred and
eighty five through the air, tree mcbrian one hundred and
fifty to a touchdown, but not even close to enough
against the Niners.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
Look, man, let this be a lesson.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
You can pad the stats sheet all you want to,
but throwing for thirty plus forty seven attempts, it's not
gonna win you the game. But Brock Purdy comes back,
and I guess we could say that the conversation as
far as what the forty nine is going to do
at quarterback, we can lead that Dad, Doug Durest, can't
we no.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
More mac Jones, Yes, Wilmo mag Jones, mag Jones.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
We had the game of the week ostensibly outside of
the Broncos Chiefs, and it was another close one.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Was the Rams taken on Seahawks.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Sacond down and go from the one, three tight ends
and Devontae Adams information.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
They open up, they throw the slamt last.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Side, did not taste, got it to get away, plane
tells him perception.

Speaker 11 (11:03):
Of a Hall of Fame career.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Gives the Rams a two score lead of the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
JB Long with KSPN on the call, and with all
the mistakes Sam Donald made that game, they still had
a chance to win it at the end.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's a day Sam Donald turned to a pumpkin, no touchdowns,
four interceptions. They still had a shot to win at
the end. Couldn't pull it off. That Seahawks team's going
to be tough. I Sam Donald doesn't throw four interceptions,
they win that game?

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Was that the curse of the Detroit Lions coming back
to haunt him?

Speaker 12 (11:30):
Right?

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Because Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Man he played I want to say lights out, but
he was efficient enough and he had some hell of
the weapons.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
Cooby Dare say that the Rams possibly meet the Broncos potentially.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
That's what Oza medalists predicted all the others past week.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
So we'll see, Hey, that's some good news and Broncos well, yeah,
see how that.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
We'll see how that shakes out.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
For Buddy Ravens at the Browns, shdor got this game.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
We don't have any highlights for him, unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
The Church push ovation Mark Andrews under center, takes the snap,
wheels all rolls.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
On his own.

Speaker 10 (12:05):
He's in the thirty Andrews of the twenty.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Ten five touch down Ravens. Oh, what a creative call.
And Mark Andrews goes from the push push to the
big bed sprint.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Now the Ravens have the lead.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Jerry Sandski at WBAL on the call.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Very creative play.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Shador you mentioned getting his first action during this game,
apparently also getting this house robbed for two hundred thousand
dollars worth of.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
Snap Yes, to deal with that.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, they did.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Would beat the game, That's what happens.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Shedor finished the game four of sixteen for forty seven
yards in an interception. He did complete's first two passes
for twelve yards, but it was brutally bad after that.
He's gonna get the start again this week. It looks
like is Dylan Gabe is still in the concussion protocols.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
We'll see how he goes.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
He's never had any snaps with the starters throughout any
of the practices at all.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Those were literally his first snaps with starters.

Speaker 8 (12:56):
That makes absolutely no sense. And I classify that, gentleman,
as coaching malpractice.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
My practice are malfeasans. I need I need a legal
scholar to delineate that for us.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
What was that word you said earlier, malfeasance? No, the
one that you said, and he said, it's a real word.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Look it up, decremplinated. Yeah, it's not a real word.

Speaker 7 (13:16):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Lions at the Eagles. Jalen hurts for the score, So.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Hurts Melana Bucker Center. He's got it the power straight
ahead it hurts is in touchdown Philadelpa So one yard
touchdown rock for Chamblin Hurts. It ends a streak Marie
consecutive games without a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
The Philly quarterback Ryan rag with Westwood one on the call.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
The Lions losing this game, zero for five on fourth down.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, I kept going for on fourth I couldn't get it.
It was Dan Quinn being that Dag Gwinn, Dan Campbell
being Dan Campbell with the trying to go for it
aggressive stuff on fourth down.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
This was a low scoring game. I don't know. It
did just seem like an odd, odd move to me.

Speaker 7 (13:59):
Odd moved.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Gibbs led the team both can rushing and receiving yards,
and I thought they were supposed to get somewhat.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Of a bump from Campbell calling plays.

Speaker 8 (14:09):
But it just goes to show man defenses are getting tougher,
is getting tougher.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
To score points the Cowboys that the Raiders. This one
was never close.

Speaker 11 (14:18):
Dan presh Gott in the gun, there's the snap, takes
the hand off, four man five man rush, throws across
the middle, touch and catch at the fifteen out of
the twenty and going on the fire side four BM
at as a touchdown. He backpedaled a little bit, and
that was George Pickens who got it in Lamb backwards
that went on that far sideline to curl around defenders
and takes it in and Pickens a thirty seven yard

(14:40):
touchdown reception.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
Kevin Harlan went Westwood one on the call and man
George Pickens and Cde Lambs, what a two?

Speaker 10 (14:47):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
On the other side of this, man the Raiders who
got a fire Chip Kelly. They've got to find a
quarterback and they've got to get the run game going.
They gotta get offensive line Gino Smith let the team
in rushing with four carries for fourteen yards. That's the
that's obscene. What are we doing? You're right, you're up
against the team that doesn't even defend the run that well.

Speaker 8 (15:04):
Is this an indictment truly on Ship Kelly or an
indictment on the lack of personnel.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
For the races? Keep it a both, It's both, okay.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
The Chip Kelly skitch, I mean, you can't dial up
a game plan that only has eight rushing attempts with Ashton,
Channy and Rahee mostered in it, forty two passing attempts.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
For Geno Smith against Dallas. I mean, you can't do it.
They're going to boat race here.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
Well, what Dallas was able to do with their run game,
they've changed with Quinn Williams adding him to the neck,
so that kind of took things out of Chip Kelly's hand.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
But they need more offensive production.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Our old boy Javonte Williams twenty two carries ninety three
yards in that one. How about them?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Bro goes led by bow Montana against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Mitt Totis on the losers.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Call nineteen nineteen times.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
The holder is the rookie punter Jeremycrossshaw, long snapper Mitchell Fraboni.
There's LUTs lines it up, snap us down. That's a
streeld goal is good on the Broncos. We'll go to
nine and two with another narrow victory this season, and
they win by a score of twenty two to nineteen

(16:12):
and the Chiefs fall to five and five on the season.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Thanks Steve Alerer for joining us in the first hour.
To stay part of that, you go to Broncos Country
Night dot Com, Slash podcast or work which podcast, Apple iTunes, Spotify,
the free and redesigned iHeart Radio it is where you
can get to take it for podcast archives as well.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
You can also hear some of those archives on kaway
Thanksgiving Day and the day before.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Set you up for that perfectly.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
H Yeah, looking forward to hearing any any particular episodes
jumping out at you that are going to be played them.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
All of them, but yours. Okay, No, I'm just kidding.
We're gonna do the Broncos broadcast team. I'm gonna do
a little bit of the Dave Logan episode, a little
bit of the Rick Lewis episode.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
In some of the Susie writin.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
That'd be cool, be a lot of fun to hear
all that.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
So were right if the kaway comes from a hot
line of bring on our guy for the diver posted Parker,
Gabriel Parker, how's it going, buddy?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (17:05):
Good? What's up? Guys?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Broncos keep winning man nine and two, six and zero
at home, and you know, all of a sudden, the
tantalizing thought of a home playoff game seems certainly within
their grass, possibly even the number one seed. As this
key team continues to roll on defense and get enough
out of its offense. What what does this team.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Have to do?

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Down the stretch to be a real contender in the playoffs.

Speaker 10 (17:30):
Yeah, I mean I think you could probably you know,
split the last six and and perhaps when the division
depending on you know, which of those six you win.
Obviously the last two against Kansas City and the Chargers
will you know, likely matter in some way, shape or
form there. But I think in general they've just they've

(17:51):
built themselves a little bit of margin here. Obviously, now
you want to you know, keep the pedal to the metal,
you want to be in play for the one seed
and all of that. But I think think, you know,
coming back out of the buy after this week, it's
just going to be interesting mostly to see what, if
any tweaks they make offensively, Like, if they just keep
doing what they're doing offensively, they're going to be fine.

(18:11):
Obviously'd like to take the ball away a little bit more.
But the defense just playing at an elite level, so
you know what you've got there. But if they get
special teams performances that are you know, competent to plus
or anything like what they got on Sunday, which is
by far their best special teams game of the year,
and they get you know, solid and maybe steadily improving

(18:34):
offensive play. They're gonna be They're gonna be pretty darn dangerous,
so parking.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
When you look at the game on Sunday, obviously the
Broncos got the victory. How does this win over division
arrival like the Chiefs, regardless of where they are at
five and five, How does this change the trajectory of
how everyone outside of Demmer will probably see this team
an organization.

Speaker 10 (18:56):
Now, well, I think you could just tell that, you know,
the sort of course, you know, last week compared to
this week, just it couldn't be much different. And you know,
sometimes like I don't think it like I don't think
locally it changed as much, although there is that sort
of palpable sense now once you win that game and

(19:17):
you're too clear and there's sixth left and the Chiefs
are actually five and five and the Broncos are actually
not in two like they're definitely, I know, I felt
more of a sense of like, you know, oh, yeah,
the division is very much in their control. Nationally, It's
a little bit different than that. It goes from like
when from like as Bo the guy you know, to

(19:37):
it went from the same guy saying, you know, maybe
Sean Payton will draft the quarterback to the one week
to the next week saying they're gonna win the division,
They've got a chance to be the number one seed,
they're real Super Bowl threats, and everything's great. So like
that's just that's the nature of this time of year.
That's the nature of you know analysis. I gues, yes,

(20:00):
we can call it, you know politely. And what happens
when twenty nine million people watch a game and you
win it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
I had talk without Parker Gabriel here at Parker J.
Gabriel on Twitter. I can't I'm trying to check my
notes here. The narrative notes is is bo being replaced
by a draft pick or is the MVP this week?
I'm not sure which one where I think we're back
to MVP based on the narratives, I thought bohead arguably his.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Best game so far this year.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I thought that that was one of the better games
that he played, if not the best game that he
played at a time.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
When they needed it.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
But the one thing that stuck out at me is
what were we doing early in the game having RJ.
Harvey throw the ball back across the field to bone it?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Boy, It's like said Sean's got the offense humming, and
he's like, you know what we need to do.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
We need to throw a boat anchor out the window
of this ferrari on the autobot and see what happens.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
And this is once every game. What are we doing?

Speaker 10 (20:54):
Yeah, I know, it's pretty amazing. I mean it just
is sort of like you just sometimes he just can't
help it. And when it works, it's you know, and
Sean always says, oh, well, when it works, it's brilliant.
When it doesn't, it doesn't, it's like, well, yeah, but
it just didn't. It's interesting because some teams go to
trick plays at moments when they really need something to happen,

(21:16):
and not much is happening. And what's interesting about Sean
who's always a little bit of the like, you know,
if you think the game plan should be conservative, he's
going to come out throwing and if you think it's
to throw the ball all over the yard game, he's
gonna pound the run. And he's always a little bit
of a contrarian in that way of thinking. But this

(21:36):
is the like the one I think you can sort
of you know, pick at and say like, hey, when
when it's going good, we don't need to throw the
trick play at that moment. So it's something ahead in
a long time. I think it's something My sense is
that it's something he knew they were going to sort
of dial up on the opening drive or at least
early in the game when they got into a situation

(21:58):
like that. But yeah, I mean, mem maybe not you know,
put bone knicks in a scenario where he's got to
play play defensive back.

Speaker 8 (22:06):
So last year when these two teams met, when both
teams were at full strength, the Broncos had opp between
to win the game, but due to a block well
let's field goal that changed the trajectory for for both teams.
But this year, Frank Crumb had his big pall up
there and uh blocked the kicks. Was that a little
redemption you think, well, Coach Payton when when that happened

(22:29):
for the team.

Speaker 10 (22:31):
Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think it's like one of
many things in that game that was just so uh
sort of deja vu inspiring. The game itself even sort
of played out similarly to that one. Obviously not exactly
the same, but but pretty similar to that game in
Kansas City last year. You know, you had you had
the black kick obviously this year was Frank Crumb. You

(22:52):
had the the you know bo Nicks in the offense
in the same position that they were in last year,
where you get the ball with you know, three minutes
left and you're trying to get in the scoring position
and also you know, not give the ball back to
the guy on the other sideline. And they did it perfectly,
despite the fact that you know, it wasn't perfect most
of the game. And so that's kind of like the

(23:14):
you know, I think fourth quarter bow almost became sort
of like a Rochars test right like earlier in the season.
If you thought that just meant fourth quarter magic, then
hey great. And if you thought that meant, you know,
he's playing bad until the last moment, then you could
think that too. This was like the game was managed well.
They put drives together that didn't go three and out

(23:34):
all that often, and then when they needed that they
drive at the end. He delivered one, and it was
it was pretty impressive. And it's funny then, like you
were saying, maybe his best game and it's the game
in which like the touchdown pass streak ends and all
of this other stuff happens. But it just felt like
a game where where he did everything he needed to do.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, it really did.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Talk about Parker Gabriel here. You know, one thing that
Broncos are going to need to do is find another back.
They're gonna have to have another back in.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
That in that room. Jalil was the most effective back
on the day.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Uh and at three point two a carry on off
six carries, That's that's not enough. They need a pile mover.
They need somebody with some some half to it. Well,
what do you think they do here? Is Blake Watson?

Speaker 10 (24:13):
Is it?

Speaker 12 (24:14):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
You know, do you go ahead and look at Jamal Williams?
You go all the way back from Latavius Murray.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
Yeah, Latavius Murray's what thirty five? I think he officially
retired earlier this season. I mean, you know, obviously obviously
Sean knows in Latavius Murray, I we had reason to
reminisce this past week. Was the guy who said he
was texting Sean saying the Broncos needed him before Nathaniel
Hackett actually.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Got fired that year in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 10 (24:38):
That was a that was a fun trip down memory lane.
Uh yeah, I don't know. I mean Blake Watson obviously
they're familiar with. Even you know, Latavious Murray they're familiar with.
Maybe it is a guy like Jamal Williams. I tend
to agree with you it's a little bit of an
inter interesting roster situation. Maybe it's a scenario where a
guy starts on the practice squad and you elevate him

(25:01):
a couple of times, whether it's a veteran or not
so yet, it's they're in a little bit of a
fix there. I mean, like you said, they just don't
have much of a power element there. I would have
made a joke about, you know, bringing aud your guestimate
back if he wasn't on New Orleans active roster at
this point. So they'll they'll have to scan. I mean
I sort of went back through the last month of

(25:21):
NFL transactions or so and looked at the guys that
have had sort of done workouts around the league and
all that. Terry and Davis. Price is a guy that
worked out for the Broncos earlier in the year, actually
when they ended up signing Goos into the practice squad.
But in general, I mean, like as you might imagine
the names of this sort of group of guys that's
been on the workout tour trying to land spots the

(25:43):
last few weeks. It not you know, particularly star stuff
or anything like that.

Speaker 8 (25:49):
All right, you know, we've talked about this defense at
least been and I have in it seem as though
the national media is now starting to give validate and
credence to one Vance Joseph. And we had Steve atwater
on earlier and Steve didn't like the conversation the direction
that Bow and I was, I mean not Bow and Ie,

(26:10):
but Ban and I were going when we were talking
about Vance Joseph and the possible landing spots.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
Now, when you think about it, is it wrong to.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
Have that conversation based on what we're seeing now from
the defense?

Speaker 10 (26:25):
No, not at all. I mean, obviously obviously the Broncos
don't want to lose him. But yeah, it's funny. When
I was during the game, I think I put in
our our live chat that we do on the Denver
Post that I was. I said, I'm I'm trending away
from I think Vance Joseph get the job this winter
and toward I think Vance Joseph should be and will

(26:47):
be able to be picky about the job that he
takes this offseason that you know, we'll obviously see how
that bears out and what jobs come up and all
of that. But I mean, what else can you ask for?
Like he's done it. It's been impressive numbers. Got love
playing for him. Now. He's won three straight games, including
against Kansas City, you know, without pass or ten. The
defense has played well all three of those games, Like

(27:08):
they just sort of even though they're so deep and
they're so talented, and it would be easy to say, well, yeah,
of course he's playing with a stacked deck. Like whatever
adversity they have faced this year, they've handled with a
plumb and their their dynamic and they adjust to their
personnel and they're doing you know, they got Jed A.
Barron as sort of like the you know, Travis kelthy

(27:31):
Man on third down and they're just they're just playing
a really you know, a brand of football that obviously
is effective and that's been really fun to watch. So yeah,
I mean, he he He's going to be one of
those guys that is on you know, on the circuit
this winter and that's going to have opportunities and all
of that. I remember Sean Payton last year saying about

(27:53):
Aaron Glenn, the best thing he could do, you know,
the best resume builder he could have is the three
hours of tape that he put together, you know, in
the divisional round and whatever. As you're getting later into
the season, so that conversation is not going anywhere or evance,
and in fact it we'll probably only ramp up assuming
the defense keeps playing the way it's been.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Playing tag with Parker Gabriel at Parker ta Gabriel on Twitter.
Darren Rizzy got that Special Teams unit playing the best
that they had since he's been employed. How big of
an impact it was to have Marvin Nims back. You
got Frank Crumin there. As Nick mentioned with the with
the block, well, let's with the field goals, All of
a sudden, the Special Teams, which have been a much
beleaguered unit, maybe put their best game together as well.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, I thought it was by far their best game
in games like that, Like, it's sort of miraculous that
they ended up beating Houston given how lopsided the field
position game was. I think it was like nineteen yards
average starting field position or something outrageous like that. Well,
Denver was plus thirteen against Kansas City. They won the
kickoff battle. But more than that, you know, they had

(28:54):
a good day. They had a good day in all areas.
They blocked the kick, they made five field goals, Crosshaw
had a good day, punting three inside the twenty no touchbacks.
They got the seventy yards return one hundred and one
total punt return yards from Marvin Mans like just across
the board. It was the first time that sort of
like all four of the core special teams units have

(29:15):
all played well on the same day and not only
played well, but like you know, not made a big
mistake too. So yeah, I mean it was it was
as good as it's been certainly here under Darren Rizzy,
and it was it was much needed in a close
game that really did sort of come down a field position.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Park gave a last one from me, Parker as we
look at this thing going forward, last last six I
mean you talked about, you know, even split it, you
could probably win the division. Is there anything else they
need to check off the list? I Mean, the only
thing I've identified is you got to be horrible at
some point. You can't be over harble on the Sean
Payton era, like you're gonna have to do that. But
is there anything else that this team needs to check
the box on other than just handling sales these games?

Speaker 10 (29:53):
No, I think that's it. I mean, obviously, now you
want to make a run at you know, sweeping the
home games, you have that sort of your site. But
that's that's that's a luxury more than a necessity. I
think you're right on Harbaugh, you know. And even like
just the way the Chargers have been playing, in the
way they've weathered the storm this year, like you might
have to. You know, it still could come down to

(30:14):
that last game of the season, depending on how things
fall and depending on if you struggle a little bit,
you know, without Dobbins on offense at some point. So yeah,
I mean that's the big one. Zero to three so
far against Jim Harbaugh. He's done a really good job
obviously against against Sean Payton, and that's that's going to
be a running rivalry between those two. Obviously, we know

(30:34):
Harbaugh was right in the mix for this job when
it came open. He's done a great job with the Chargers.
So that's a big one. And and and it could
still end up that Week eighteen is sort of for
all the marbles in the West.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Could be well, it's it's been a fun season so far.
Looking forward to covering it with the rest of it
with you there, and appreciate you jumping on tonight.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
On the bye week.

Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah you bet have got that.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
