Impressive. Most impressive.

Tuesday night half the Lodge gathered to watch the greatest movie ever made Episode V ESB. I think I could watch that movie every night of the week. Then last night after watching the Constant Gardner (great movie, makes you want to go to Africa then you realize that you might be shot if you go there) I realized I had my old copy of the 1987 AFC championship game( The Fumble) on VHS staring right at me. Thoughts of the Orange Crush, Three Amigos, Mr. Ed and the Mississippi mud walk were rushing through my memory banks I decided to watch a little bit of the game i.e. The Fumble part. And yes I do have a VCR! What the heck does this have to do with ESB you ask? Well while watching the game my mind melded with dialogue from the movie and incorporated it with the Saturday night game between the Pats and Co’s. Or as I affectionately call it Snakes on a Football field. I’m still trying to get Sam Jackson to appear at half time. Here is how and why the Bronco’s are going to win one Saturday night….

Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.

C3P0 had it right when you look at the juggernaught coming into Mile High. The Broncos have no chance at winning this game only the state of Colorado believes they will win well and yours truly. But history and recent history at that tell us that the Broncos can beat the Pats. They are 3-1 in there last 4 games against. They are brimming with confidence and they should they are the better team and with this game being at home they have a great chance to knock off the defending champs.

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless…..

The snake is much like Luke before he donned the black and made his own saber. Never thinking things through, throwing left handed passes his goal line. Jake has made great strides this year along with great help from the Jedi master Mr. Tan Mike Shannahan. Mr. Tan has taught his padwan to think before he throws and Plummer is playing his best football since he was a Sun Devil. With his career low 7 interceptions and near his highest passing percentage ever, the Snake might just be ready to pass the trials and bring the Broncos to a Throne room dual on the Death Star (RCA Dome) against the Colts.

The Denver D is going to have to be on the top of its game to take on Tom Brady if the man can’t get you one way he will find another way to beat you. The man just wins ball games. With the revamped Denver D line they have the opportunity to contain and pressure Brady into mistakes. Think of the line as the ION cannon against the Avenger. We all know how that turned out for the Empire…”our First transport is away”… Side note do you think the Rebels could have pointed the ION cannon down and took out a few AT-ATs? I hope General Rankin lost a commission after this battle.

The force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi

This one is for the rookie DB’s Darrant Williams and Dominique Foxworth. They have a chance to be great this Saturday. They have the talent to stay with and dominate the mediocre Patriots receiving corp. Williams is a great open field tackler and Foxworth has a nose for the ball. This combined with the D line can cause trouble for Brady and throw off his timing.


Judge me by my size do you?

Tatum Bell the diminutive Denver running back who gashed the Pats for long TD runs will look to do the same and change the pace for the Denver running attack that is going to run and run and run all day long. This is there bread and butter they will not shy away from this.


My lord, I've reached the main power generators. The shield will be down in moments, you may start your landing.

Defense is the key here. If all the pieces that I have discussed fall together and the Broncos shut down the running game of the Pats and force them to throw and get pressure on Brady. The Broncos will make there reservations for Indianapolis and make a landing there sometime next week.

Is this just my passion for a team coming out yes, but you have to have faith in your team. I know that they are the better team and will come out on top in the end. Cause no one rattles the snake (at home at least). Dang I’m pumped for this.
