It's amazing how bad Trent Richardson is given what we all expected him to be.

Not sure that was catchable, but he definitely cut him off and slowed down to keep him from going after it.
 
Edit- nice blitz pickup by Richardson, too bad he can't run.

That call just sucks. Refs have to stop calling that crap.
Why? It's a clear violation of the rule. You can't cut in front and slow down to keep the player from running by you, if you allowed it guys would do it on every deep pass.

Four guys crash him into the ground and it's not a penalty?  But the ball was blown dead?  One way or the other that's a blown call.

Where it rains. No, seriously.

What a terrible trade Richardson was. Bradshaw has looked much better.
 
This is the truth.  All Richardson has proven (and I'm rooting for the guy) is that he can take a lot of volume and turn it into 3 yards per and a cloud of dust.  Bradshaw brings another angle to their offense, and they will likely be too stubborn to go to him early and often.
 
Trent Richardson might be turning into Tony Richardson.  His pass pro is pretty solid.

I don't think I've ever seen Richardson get to the 2nd level of a defense.
he has 3 carries of 20 or more yards in his career, in 550+ carries.

Demarcus Ware is going to murderate the Patriots' tackles.
 
He and Von Miller....Pats have a lot of work to do or else that is going to be UGLY

Montee Ball doesn't look anything special to me. I think Seattle will be able to force Denver into a one dimensional game in a couple weeks.
 
I'd disagree, I feel like he hits the hole pretty hard and is decent at dealing with pass protection given that Manning moves him all over the place.  He is a really solid three-down back.

He's got Richardsonian numbers against a shitty defense tonight. We shall see. Moreno scared(s) me more.
Denver's run blocking has been shit... not really Ball's fault. They need to address that with the OLine or that's gonna hurt.

Collinsworth doesn't even listen to Michaels does he?
Michaels tells the story that he went home made his GF take him to the hospital where the ER docs caught the problem.
Collinsworth: "Great job by the Broncos training staff, might have saved his life"

Indy doesn't blow those two 1st and goal possessions they would be winning. DEN looked so good in the first half, not good at all the 2nd.

1 more stop and we get to have some fun.  I missed all the "good" games today watching the Pats -- would be nice to see a good one.
