...are any of you watching the Broncos/Rams game?

Julius Thomas - Injured
Emmanuel Sanders - Injured (almost got decapitated and couldn't walk off the field by himself)
Montee Ball - Injured (initial reports are out for the season)
Ronnie Hillman - Injured (out the next 3-4 weeks)

So, when we play Denver next week, they may be without 2 of their top 3 offensive weapons, starting their 2nd string TE and their 3rd string RB with limited depth at that position.

Next week's game is suddenly looking more winnable by the minute.
 
I've been watching since mid way thru the first qtr. I heard about Thomas and Hillman being hurt, and saw Ball leave the game very gingerly. After that i started thinking ahead to next week and how these injuries will help us out tremendously. I missed the Sanders injury, what happened? He was looking good for Denver so far today, I was starting to worry about him and D. Thomas killing our secondary next week if Finnegan can't make it back.
 
Ball isn't any better than CJ Anderson anyway but it would be a big help if Thomas and Sanders are both out... I don't feel sorry for them, we lost our starting LT and RB for the year, **** em.

He got absolutely lit up by the Safety. 15-yard personal foul penalty. One of the worst hits I've seen all season. He couldn't walk off the field without the help of his teammates. Went to locker room immediately. Obviously will be in concussion protocol all week. He was torching the Rams secondary before he left and IMO is the Broncos best playmaker this season.

He got absolutely lit up but IMO it was a clean hit. The safety wasn't head hunting and it didn't even look like helmet to helmet at all. It was a very hard hit to break up a pass, but hey that's football, these guys put their health on the line and they get paid very handsomely to do so. The NFL is getting ridiculous with these calls, I don't know what the hell you're supposed to do as a safety in that situation.
 
I wonder if Sanders got a concussion? He got jacked up.
 
I hope Denver's players recover, the week after we play them....
 
Injuries are starting to have a factor in a lot of games. It's getting late in the year and most teams have their share of injuries at this point. It's to the point you hope you just don't lose too many key players.

I agree, if he's out that takes a ton of pressure off of the secondary next Sunday. D. Thomas is a beast, but so is Calvin Johnson, and Grimes played him well in Detroit and then shut down Watkins 4 days later so I'm not too worried about one guy beating us. Wes Welker just doesn't look good anymore, admittedly i haven't watched all of the Bronco games this year so maybe hes been OK at times but i haven't seen it. They dink and dunk like crazy so as long as our defense can limit missed tackles we can play with em. Plus Peyton doesn't like the cold, and they don't seem to have a running game so we just have to play smart, fundamentally sound football and we can pull out the W.

Also they're defense doesn't look as scary as i thought it would TBH. The d line hasn't been able to generate a ton of pressure today, and the linebackers have been attacked with quick passes all day to success.
 
No doubt Julius and Emmanuel too would be huge
 
It's hard to believe Denver would look this bad again next week.
