Mile High Report - All Posts By Fans, For Fans....Your Source For Denver Broncos News and Comment https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/50905/mhr-fav.png 2014-11-22T05:00:03-07:00 http://www.milehighreport.com/rss/current/ 2014-11-22T05:00:03-07:00 2014-11-22T05:00:03-07:00 Horse Tracks: Is Virgil Green the answer for the Broncos offensive line woes?
Good Morning Broncos Country

Heading into week nine of the season the Denver Broncos looked like the leagues top team, and it wasn't close. They were coming off two dominant victories over the San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers and were playing their best football of the season. However, ever since the Broncos defeated the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football the Broncos have not looked like the same team.

The team looked awful against the New England Patriots, looked sluggish against the Raiders despite a blow out win, and crashed and burned on the road against the St. Louis Rams. There's been a lot of blame going around as to why this is happening. The offensive line, the coaching, and Peyton Manning have taken the most of the blame, but could the absence of Virgil Green been a key factor into the teams decline?

Virgil Green has missed three games due to injury this year(and left early in the first quarter against Seattle). The Broncos record in those games is a measly 1-3. Their only win coming against the Oakland Raiders.

The Broncos are undefeated when they have Virgil Green in their lineup.

The stats back this up as well.

With Green In the Lineup(6-0):

 Week	 Rushing yards	 Yards Per Carry	 Sacks

 1	 102	 3.1	 1

 2	 88	 4.6	 1

 5	 92	 3.3	 1

 6	 138	 4.2	 2

 7	 115	 4.3	 2

 8	 139	 4.6	 0

So with Virgil Green in the lineup, the Broncos only averaged below 4.0 yards per carry twice during the season. Also Manning was only sacked 7 times in the 7 games that Green has played.

Without Green In the Lineup(1-3):

 Week	 Rushing Yards	 Yards Per Carry	 Sacks

 3	 36	 1.8	 1

 9	 43	 2.5	 1

 10	 118	 4.4	 0

 11	 28	 2.8	 2

The Broncos struggle in the running game when Green is not in the lineup. Their only success came against the Oakland Raiders who at the time were a winless football team. Outside of that the Broncos running game never topped more then 2.8 yards per carry.

We could chalk this up as a total coincidence, but it appears that the Broncos are a much better team when they have Virgil Green on the field.

Thankfully it does appear that Green will be able to go this weekend despite being listed as questionable on the teams injury report.

ESPN's Playoff Machine:

The ESPN Playoff Machine is back! It's a neat generator that lets you pick the winners and losers for every NFL game from week 12 on to week 17, and tells you how the playoff field would look like in your scenario. It's something I have wasted many hours on already.

Horse Tracks:

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden says that backup Colt McCoy is pushing RG3 for the starting quarterback job.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says that "We'll do everything to get Lynch back in 2015". There has been rumors that the team is planning on moving on from the talented back this offseason.

New England Patriots running back Jonas Gray oversleeps, and misses team meeting and is set home by head coach Bill Belichick.

Arizona Cardinals veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is considered a game-time decision for this weekends game.

Seattle Seahawks are expected to get back linebacker Bobby Wagner for this weekends game.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran wide receiver Jason Avant, and placed receiver A.J Jenkins on the season ending injured reserve list.

The Denver Broncos are more beat up than they have been all season going into this Sunday's game with the Miami Dolphins. The good news is that it looks likely Sanders will play on Sunday.

The Broncos don't have to deal with a road trip this weekend for the first time in weeks, but they do have to deal with a variety of injuries.

Julius back in uniform today. That's good news. And sanders here w a helmet. Ok. Looking good pic.twitter.com/uyKnKAWlbI

Broncos new to the injury report

Emmanuel Sanders is working through the NFL concussion protocol this week and everything looks like it's heading in the right direction.

Sanders was cleared for physical activity yesterday afternoon. Signs point toward him playing #Broncos
 — Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) November 21, 2014

Sanders was full participant in practice Friday, Fox said. Sanders also stayed on field for a bit after practice working with Cody Latimer.
 — Jeff Legwold (@Jeff_Legwold) November 21, 2014

Julius Thomas seems to have dodged the dreaded high ankle sprain but he is still considered day to day. It was reported Friday that Julius Thomas had returned to practice on Friday but his participation was so limited that he was listed as an non-participant. It looks like Thomas will not play on Sunday to me.

Fox said that perhaps he could have said Julius Thomas was limited, but that his workload was closer to "out." Thomas wore a helmet today.
 — Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) November 21, 2014

Britton Colquitt also appeared on the injury report on Thursday for an illness. He returned to practice on Friday.

Repeat Broncos on the injury report

Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman's injuries have not changed from last week. Both of them are not practicing and are not expected back right away.

Virgil Green is still on the injury report, but he looks like he's heading in the right direction recovery-wise. What started out as a calf injury that had Green limited in practice turned into a knee injury last week that kept him from participating in practice. This week Green's injury is back to being listed as a calf injury and he's back to being a limited participant. Cross your fingers Green can play this week Broncos Country!

Paul Cornick's shoulder injury seems to be doing better as he was a full participant in practice this week.

Quinton Carter (knee) and Ryan Clady (groin) were both limited in practice this week as they were last week.

Steven Johnson (ankle) and Juwan Thompson (knee) were both full participants in practice as they were last week. It's just a matter of time for these two to fall off the injury report.

Broncos off the injury report

The only Bronco player who managed to get off the injury report this week is Orlando Franklin who was on the report last week with a knee injury. This is obviously positive news as the O-line doesn't need injury distractions to add to their other well documented problems.

Odds and Ends

Miami Dolphins TE Charles Clay is dealing with both a knee and hamstring injury and will be a game-day decision on Sunday.

#Broncos LB Danny Trevathan was doing conditioning work w/ strength coach early during practice time. He can return Week 14 vs. San Diego.

3k from Turf Show Times took the time to answer some questions about the game between the Broncos and Rams this Sunday. Here's what this Rams blogger had to say about the game.

Congrats on the win, where in the hell did that come from?

Thanks, but I have no idea. The Rams haven't played a single game of complete football since our game against the Colts last year nearly a year ago exactly. That they haven't all season and were able to come up with it against you guys of all teams...there's not a lot of rationality here. Every week, we've been waiting for the pass rush to pair with capable secondary play. We've been waiting for the running game to prop up a mistake-free passing game. We've been waiting for Pro Bowl punter Johnny Hekker to live up to billing while kicker Greg Zuerlein takes advantage of the slight advantage his offense gives him. It all fell together. I can't explain how everything came together in one game when we've struggled to get two or three or those before Sunday.

Why are the Rams 4-6? I completely overlooked them due to their record and struggles at quarterback, but they clearly have the makings of a very good football team.

The simple answer is that we haven't done the things we did on Sunday consistently: run the ball often, win the field position battle, maintain a high level of pressure on opposing QBs...it's just been absent too often. The frustration comes about though because, as you say, they have the makings of a very good team...and yet they're 4-6. The incompatibility in that statement lies at the feet of the coaching staff, and it's honestly painful to deal with. To have the talent on the roster and not have things come together yet again is just incredibly frustrating.

Heading into the game, the Rams' offensive line was thought to be a big weakness. What did the Rams do to protect Shaun Hill so well and open up such holes in the running game for Tre Mason?

Well, I'd have to go back to the All-22 to say anything with any specificity, but I think the quick passes were something that helped. It's also something that opposing offenses have relied on to neutralize the Rams' pass rush. It helps get the QB in a rhythm and opens things up on the sidelines. So that helped Shaun Hill pretty obviously. The running game though was different in volume than it has been all year. The Rams just haven't leaned on it to move the ball and help set up field goal opportunities the way they did Sunday, and given how well it worked I'm even less capable of explaining why. Sometimes in order to get quality you have to have the quantity of opportunities to get guys in a groove and begin to pick up on what their opponents are struggling with, akin to a baseball lineup facing a good starting pitcher the third time through the order. So more than anything, I think it was an issue of playing to the Rams' strengths and allowing them to work through the kinks instead of getting away from them.

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css">

Did you see enough in Shaun Hill to say he's "the guy" for the next few weeks? The rest of the season?

Oh sure, but that's because I don't think it really matters. In the NFL, you've got maybe a dozen quarterbacks who you know are starting quality or, let's say, special. You guys obviously have someone in that category. Then you've got maybe half a dozen who you can hope turn into someone in that first category. Guys like RGIII or any of the year two guys or rookies. But about half the league is just playing it out until they get someone who's in one of those two categories. The Rams are in that dead space where it doesn't matter if it's Shaun Hill or Austin Davis or whomever they could've traded for at any point since Sam Bradford got hurt. Hell, you could make a strong argument that Bradford's in the same group as Hill and Davis as just a time eater. So is Hill the guy for the rest of the season? Sure. It doesn't make much difference. But that's part of the problem that the Rams are now relying on a 34-year old career backup to spearhead what should be one of the league's impressive young teams. Instead, he's just captaining the ship so that we don't get marooned.

How do you see the rest of the Rams' season playing out? Will they play "spoiler" to other good teams the rest of the way, or can they even push for a playoff spot?

Yeah, as much as Rams fans might be buoyed by the win, it's naïve to think we could challenge for a playoff spot when you look at some of the losses that preceded Sunday. I guess we could hold on to the mathematical possibility as long as we can just to maintain some positivity about the 2014 season, but the reality is that's about all the Rams have right now. So yeah, they've got some spoiler opportunities left on the schedule with San Diego, Arizona and Seattle all remaining. It just sucks that this is where the team finds itself in year three of Head Coach Jeff Fisher's tenure...which seems awfully similar to where they started.

Good luck to the Rams the rest of the way, and a Mile High Salute to 3k for sharing his thoughts!

It was good news at Dove Valley Friday. Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who suffered a concussion in Sunday's 22-7 loss to the Rams, was back at practice, running routes.

Emmanuel Sanders was cleared through the post-concussion protocol for physical activity yesterday afternoon.
 — Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) November 21, 2014

While Sanders has been cleared for physical activity, he's still not taking hits. We'll be watching his status in the injury report this afternoon closely.

Tight end Julius Thomas also returned to practice. Thomas suffered an ankle injury during the game, which CBS cameras failed to capture. Well, MHR is here to help (Julius is lined up alongside the right tackle and gets beaten on a block).

An overhead look at Julius Thomas' injury. Not sure whether or not the broadcast showed it. https://t.co/TooycHOg2r
 — Jacob Dearlove (@jacobdearlove) November 21, 2014

Thomas was described as "very limited" and "shaky" by separate media folk, so right now we're more optimistic about Sanders playing than Thomas on Sunday vs. the Dolphins.

Also, bonus good news: Champ Bailey was viewing Denver's practice, and Danny Trevathan is doing the necessaries to be back on the field for practice starting next week.

Stay tuned for the full injury report to come.

Broncos got a nice little gift from the Raiders on Thursday night when the Chiefs took a surprising loss, giving Denver a nice open lane to take the unopposed lead in the AFC West. How will this Broncos team respond after a two-game losing streak on the road? Our Ultimate Fan RebelChris thinks they'll bounce back, but he's got some advice for his favorite team - Do. Not. Hold. Back.

After a tough week around MHR, RebelChris is ready to get us back on track and rooting for our beloved Broncos.

Yes, we're going to have to talk a little about that Rams game (ugh!) but last week's ultimate fan - PearlJamBroncosGaryFunk - has a bit of a pep talk for us:

The one thing I can say is that I hope I don't ever predict a shutout again!

I'm pretty over the brutality of the reality of what happened last Sunday. I perpetually find it hilarious that so many fans predict that it's all over for us after a loss like that. Hilarious, and at the same time a torment, because it'd be nice to set 'em straight.

I really dig the opinions that lay out specific problems and what the players/coaches can do to improve on them, but I don't dig the "season's over," blunt negativity. Aren't we fans of a team for enjoyment? I guess it is true that we're all built differently and some people may get off on being negative/sad or trying to bring others down with them. I know that sometimes it's just easier to think/talk about the negative things, and it's harder to focus on/talk about the positives when one's mindset is negative from something bad happening (i.e., that loss)

I really can't wait to see what this team looks like this weekend and next against the Chiefs to give me a more firm idea of the kind of grit we've (still) got. Thanks again for letting me contribute more to this awesome place! I've had so many (virtual) good times "here." And it's due to all of our awesome residents/friends/family who continue to contribute and support this place and each other.

16-3 until we're not! Go Broncos!!!

On to 16-3! So now it' time to be honest about our chances against a very tough Dolphins team, but cheer up Broncos Country, RebelChris is vacuuming the carpet, dusting off the DT jersey and grabbing his rally cap via a nutcracker (read on for translation), so this game will be a 'W' before we know it.

*Note: if you ever go to a game with RebelChris, be careful during high fives after big scores. You may end up getting punched in the nose!

MHR - The Rams game was awful and no one really wants to relive it, but what are the main weaknesses you noticed from that game that are easily fixable?

RebelChris: Grrrr.... You're really going to make me go there, aren't you? I'm still not sure I'm 100 percent over that game. Frustrating to say the least. I've seen so many things bandied about as to what happened during that game that I'm not sure any of us has a solid answer.

If I'm coaching the team this week, I'm pulling out all the stops to get this offense to toughen up. I'm playing dirty on defense, I'm telling my defense to mug receivers at the LOS, I'm blowing whistle after whistle to put them behind the down and make them figure it out. -RebelChris

In my humble opinion, I think the biggest takeaway from that game is the offense is way too finesse for its own good. Jam the receivers at the line, have decent safety play to help disguise zone vs. man, and the Broncos' offense just falls to pieces. It was an almost exact copy of the Super Bowl, and it was apparent nothing has changed since.

If I'm coaching this team this week, I am pulling out all the stops to get this offense to toughen up. I'm playing dirty on defense, I'm telling my defense to mug wide receivers at the line of scrimmage (heck, even throw them down), I'm calling holding calls left, right and center (phantom or otherwise), I'm blowing whistle after whistle to put them behind the down and distance and make them figure it out.

I'd force crappy field position on our guys, make them play from the 15, 10, 6-yard lines. Then I'll make them take a few series' off, stand in the cold and come out and do it again.

They have got to figure it out mentally, and the physical stuff will follow. But they can't get past it until they practice for it.

MHR - Prior to the Rams game, there was a lot of talk about starting games fast rather than waiting until the second quarter (or later) to get in rhythm. But that definitely didn't happen against the Rams. What has to happen for this team to start well and get ahead rather than play catch up?

RebelChris: That's a great question, and one that I've been pondering too. Every week during one of the broadcasts you hear one of the announcers talk about "drive starter plays."

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css">

I haven't seen too many of those from Denver this year. It's usually been a few runs to get to third and manageable, then pray we convert. I think they need to look for chunk-type yardage - swing passes to the flat, maybe a screen play or two, along with some running plays for balance (because you need to sustain that attack throughout the game).

Just easy dink and dunk-type stuff to just get the offense a couple of first downs. Work up a good sweat, get the jitters out and then start with all of Manning's line gyrations. I think seeing something like that would be a positive step into getting this team its identity back.

MHR - Richie Incognito could still become a Bronco. Did the Rams game make his best case for him coming to Denver?

RebelChris: Ugh, you know?

I don't know. Personally, I'd rather see Denver promote from within. You've got Ben Garland that I'm sure is just chomping at the bit to get a shot. You drafted Schofield early enough in the draft that I think he deserves a shot as well. I think before you even look to bringing in outside help, at this stage in the season, you owe it to your team to either:

reshuffle the line back to the beginning (Ryan Clady, Orlando Franklin, Manny Ramirez, Louis Vasquez,Chris Clark), or

promote from within and give one of your up-and-comers a shot (Clady, Ben Garland, Manny, Vasquez, Michael Schofield/Clark).

I think it would do this team wonders both in the locker room and in the fans' eyes to see them stick to their guys instead of jamming down on the panic button for an Incognito or someone else.

MHR - Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman are out for several weeks. Do you believe C.J. Anderson, Juwan Thompson and even Kapri Bibbs can handle the running game for the Broncos in their absence?

RebelChris: I do...wholeheartedly! They just need to be given a chance. And the coaches/Manning need to have the patience and forethought to know that a running game takes time during a game. It's like a cold - you need to feed it before it gets better. It's OK to have two- and three-yard gains, as long as you stick with it. In the third and fourth quarters, those three-yard gains suddenly become eight- and 10-yarders. But you have to keep feeding the rock.

One thing that has stood out with me with these younger guys this year (Bibbs, Thompson, Anderson, Schofield, Paul Cornick, Cody Latimer, Brandon McManus) is that there doesn't seem to be any of the vets rallying around them, pumping them up and letting them know the team is behind them (at least from the outside looking in).

Especially on offense. Remember when Clady went down and they turned to Clark last year? Manning sent out that text to him and instilled the confidence in him that he was supported. They rallied behind Clark and let him know the team was there for him.

I'm not saying that's not happening this year, but it sure appears to me that it's not going on, at least from the outside looking in. It seems these younger guys are being kept at arms length and not feeling trusted enough from their teammates if/when they are called upon.

MHR - How much do you think the injuries to Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas impacted the Broncos' rhythm on Sunday? If they are both ruled out for this weekend's game - which is likely - how will the Broncos/Peyton Manning do without two of the top targets? And is this the time to see Cody Latimer on the field in earnest?

RebelChris: Personally, I think the injury to Sanders was bigger than Julius. Ever since Virgil Green went down, Julius has been quiet. In fact, to me, the bigger injury on the team has been the one to Green. Ever since he went down, this team hasn't quite been the same on offense. I think it is similar to how DT was playing out of position while Welker was out.

The bigger worry to me is going to be if both Thomas and Green are out for the game against Miami. And if Denver is to bring anyone in from the outside this week, I would look for it to be a TE to help mitigate the loss of Green.

It is beyond time to see what Latimer can do. Heck, he can't be any worse than Welker and Caldwell. Plus he was tough as nails in preseason. -RebelChris

And yes, it's beyond time to see what Latimer can do. Heck he can't be any worse than Welker and Caldwell at this point, can he? Plus he was tough as nails during the preseason, and I think this offense needs that right now.

MHR - The Miami defense is no joke, and the Broncos O-line is becoming one. How do the Broncos handle the Dolphins' front 7 effectively?

RebelChris: I would like to see a similar type game/preparation to what they did versus Arizona. The most interesting part of that game to me was the use of the RB up really close to the LOS to stop the "A Gap Blitz".

I see Miami having a similar line to the Cardinals and I think that similar game plan would help a lot. I also really liked what Buffalo did to them in that Thursday night game. Chip, chip, chip and when you think you can't chip anymore, you chip their DE's again! Oh, and chip one more time for good measure.

That seemed to work wonders against Cameron Wake. Especially since he tries to use his speed to his advantage.

But again, I think the short game (screens, RB in the flat, runs up the gut) will help neutralize their pass rush. Oh and another thing.... Put the G.D. pedal to the metal on offense. I haven't seen our lightening hurry up in awhile. I think this is the perfect game to bring that back to the fold. Let's torch them and make them suck some mile high air. Come on Manning, go faster!

MHR - Does the kicking game concern you, and how do we rectify it at this point in the season?

RebelChris:: Yes, our kicking game concerns me a great deal. I think the team is very much showing a lack of confidence in Brandon McManus, which is really too bad. He seems like he could work out to be a great kicker in the future, but I don't think that is with Denver. At least not currently.

My personal belief is it is time to look for outside help in that department. When you cannot even attempt a kick from 50 yards out (which is pretty S.O.P. in today's NFL), in a dome, then that spells issues to this fan. There has got to be a kicker in street clothes that can come in and help in that department. And in Denver, with the altitude and everything else, 50-yard kicks shouldn't be too big of an issue.

I also think it's time to look for a new punter this off-season. Our punting game has been awful for a few years. There are far too many excellent punters on other teams, that are switching field position consistently (especially against Denver) for us to be settling for same-ol, same-ol from Colquitt. Especially for the money he's bringing in.

MHR - According to PFF grades, the Broncos offense (9.6) is far better than the Dolphins (-48.3), but the Miami defense comes in at 101.6 (No. 1) compared to the Broncos' 78.1 (which is No. 2). Do you think it's going to come down to our defense needing to overpower the Dolphins' offense enough to make up for the struggles our offense may have?

RebelChris: I think at home, and after last week, this game comes down solely on the offense. Don't get me wrong, the defense shares much of the blame for last week. But when you can hold a team to five field goals after your offense is crapping the bed, I think the defense is doing pretty well. Sure they need to tighten some stuff up here and there, but overall I think this game rests on the offense's shoulders.

I think after last week, the Super Bowl and the New England game, you are going to be facing defenses just salivating at the chance to do similar things to the Broncos on offense.

This offense needs to come out on fire like a seven-headed dragon just looking for a village to burn down. And let's be honest, with the blueprint they've laid down for everyone (to beat us), the road ain't getting any easier. -Rebel Chris

Everyone has been trying to figure out Manning for years, and we have now provided the league the exact blueprint for how to do that. This offense needs to come out on fire like a seven-headed dragon just looking for a village to burn down. I think that will instill the confidence back in both the fans and players at this point. Because let's be honest, with the blueprint they've laid down for everyone, the road certainly ain't going to be getting any easier.

MHR - Miami is 2nd in the AFC East behind the Patriots who sit comfortably at the top, but the Dolphins are very much in the playoff hunt and need to keep their win streak going. The Broncos have their backs against the wall as they are tied with the Chiefs. How do you expect this game to go as these teams both have something big to play for?

RebelChris: In my orange and blue colored heart I want so badly to just predict an absolute curb-stomping by the Broncos. Especially since their backs are against a wall. But after witnessing last week, and being as frustrated as I am, I am looking for just some improvement.

There are enough vets on this team that I want to see them take this team on their shoulders and rise to the occasion. My heart tells me that they will come out ready to eat some sushi (sorry, pitiful Dolphin reference) but my head tells me to not be shocked at another slow start only to see them gain some momentum as the game goes on.

MHR - The Broncos defense held the Rams to mostly field goals last week but didn't appear to dominate the relatively week offense as expected. Then Chris Harris Jr. mentioned that the defense needed to come up with more big plays. How do you think the defense will respond this week to what should be a weaker offense than the Broncos face in practice?

RebelChris: I think (hope) we'll see a similar game to what the defense did against the 49ers. They are at home, coming off a three-game road trip where they played some ugly ball. I'm looking for them to make a statement to the home crowd. I think they can get into Tannehill's head, but they need to come out firing. I'm slightly worried about Miami's running game, but I think the defense can overmatch that by playing their brand of defense.

 — Denver Broncos (@Broncos) November 21, 2014

The Dolphins have had an OL shuffle as well by moving Mike Pouncey to guard this year after his backup played so admirably during his injury. So they need to figure out that line because they played pretty well against the Bills. It appears to me the weak spot on their line is the right tackle.

I would love to see some Von Miller/DeMarcus Ware change ups to exploit that matchup with Malik Jackson, Pot Roast and Derek Wolfe crashing down from the middle. I really want to see some exotic looks this week to create mismatches and pressure situations on Tannehill. I think he can get rattled pretty easily, and the defense needs to exploit that.

MHR - Is this game a do-or-die kind of win for the Broncos? Do I dare even ask what would happen if the team were to lose this one?

RebelChris: At this point, I think the rest of the schedule is almost do or die. Mostly because it's all AFC teams remaining and two road games against divisional opponents.

If the Broncos were to drop this game (especially in similar fashion to the Rams game), then the Chiefs are going to be smelling blood like a rabid pack of angry sharks. And I'm not sure we want to give them that kind of shot in the arm coming off their 10-day rest and going into Arrowhead.

If Denver can't get up for a Miami team that is trying to stake its claim in the AFC East, at home, after a tough road trip, then I would be very worried about the state of this team moving forward.

Predictions:

 Full stat line for Peyton Manning? 22/30 305 yards 2 TDs 1 INT

 Number of yards total by the Broncos running backs? 150yards

 Which wide receiver will have the most yards? It really depends on who suits up, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Jacob Tamme get an increased role in this game. I'd like to see Demaryius Thomas get another 100-yarder, but if Sanders is out, then I'm not sure if that will happen.

 Number of sacks on Ryan Tannehill? 2 sacks with 7 hurries/pressures

 Number of sacks on Manning? 1 sack. I think the OL bounces back but still has one fubar with a blitzing LB in the middle.

 Broncos player with the most tackles? Steven Johnson followed by a tie with Brandon Marshall and Wolfe.

 Broncos player with the most INTs? I think it'll be a tie with Chris Harris Jr. and Bradley Roby each getting 1.

 Number of penalties/yards on the Broncos? 10 for 150

 Final Score? 28-10 Denver

The Favorites

Favorite team to watch the Broncos play?

Hands down, it's the Raiders. Anytime we can put a whooping on them I am a happy camper. I do wish the games were a bit more competitive now, I long for the days when the AFC West was the power house and a 10-6 or 9-7 team was the one to come out on top of the West. It seems like we are getting back to that point, which is definitely fun. However, if the Raiders move to San Antonio, it will be a travesty.

Team you most hate for the Broncos to lose to?

Raiders. As much as it is to whoop up on them, nothing boils the blood more than losing to them. I can't stand that team. Bitter, bitter rival as far as I can remember. Losing to them is just pouring salt on a wound. A close second would be the Chiefs, because they are the Chiefs.

Favorite Broncos player on the current roster?

Demaryius Thomas. I absolutely love the guy. His jersey is the second jersey I've ever owned (Atwater was the first). And I had to buy my little girl (she just turned one) a matching DT jersey to wear with daddy during game days.

Favorite Broncos player of all time?

I'd have to go with Steve Atwater. But a close second would be Karl Mecklenburg.

Atwater was just a classic Broncos player. I will never forfet the buildup to the Broncos-Chiefs game when they had Christian Okoye. Atwater laid such a hit on him. He had the entire state of Colorado and Broncos Coutnry behind me. Just beautiful stuff. -RebelChris

Back in the day when the Broncos had training camp in Greeley, we would go down for at least one day. My sister was just a baby during one of those trips. During a period when the D was taking a breather, Meck spotted my sister toddling along the sidelines. He waved at her and she waved back. It was probably the coolest thing to witness as an 11-year-old boy. And ever since then I've been a huge fan of his.

But Atwater was just a classic Broncos player. I will never forget the build up to the Broncos/Chiefs game when they had Christian Okoye. Talk, talk, talk, talk is all we heard about how Okoye was going to run rough shod on the Denver D.

Then when the game finally came, they handed the ball up the middle to Okoye and Atwater laid such a hit on him that I don't think he was the same back afterward. It was a statement and Atwater had the entire state of Colorado and all of Broncos Country behind him during that hit. Just beautiful stuff.

Favorite thing to eat during a game?

Honestly, I'm so busy (nervous) watching the game that I can hardly think about food. So I'm usually just sitting there watching the game with a cup of water. Lame, I know, but that's been my tradition for years now.

Favorite Game-Day ritual?

Oh man... I was dreading this question. I'm such a superstitious person, that I'm almost embarrassed to say what the ritual is. I've been trying like heck to let it all go but there's something deep down inside of me that just can't get past my superstitious ways. But the biggest one right now is making sure the carpet is vacuumed a certain way. Dang it... I let it out. Yes... I'll go hide in shame now.

*Editor's Note: Do not hide. That is the best ever ritual I've ever heard [goes to get vacuum right away].

What is your favorite Game-Day attire?

Jeans (or shorts, depending on weather), blue tshirt under my DT jersey. I wear it every game, only during the game. I only wash the jersey after the season is over. Did I mention I'm a superstitious person?

Most embarrassing-to-admit superstitious behavior regarding Broncos on Game Day?

I don't know if this is necessarily as embarrassing as making sure the carpet is vacuumed a certain way. But during the run up to the first Super Bowl win, my family was getting ready for our annual holiday celebrations. My mom was getting an appetizer tray of nuts together and had a brand new, white plastic nutcracker.

Anyway, somehow, I ended up grabbing that nutcracker during the game and would squeeze it, and play with it during the games... and we kept on winning. The worst part is that the "rally cap" location during the season was I had to be on the stairs, watching the game with trusty nutcracker in hand. I used that nutcracker the rest of the season, all the way to the Super Bowl victory. My mom still has that nutcracker somewhere... might be time to break it out again.

Best Broncos game ever played?

This is such a toss up for me. There are so many memorable games, that I'm not sure I can pick one? So here's a couple: We had season tickets during the Super Bowl years, only giving them up when my dad got sick shortly after Invesco was built. Our seats were in the North Endzone, 28 rows up, right behind the goal posts. One of the most memorable games was the Monday night shellacking the Broncos put on the Raiders in 97 (31-3), my voice was gone for about a week after that game. Another one would have to be the Revenge game against the Jaguars in the 97 playoffs.

But two more stick in my mind for various reasons. One was the playoff game against New England where Champ intercepted Brady in the end zone and ran it back to the 1-yard line. My mom bought my dad and I tickets to that game for Christmas. However, the most interesting part of that game was the fact that she bought us Club Level seats by mistake. That game was sweet to begin with, but Club Level seats was just the icing on the cake.

And last but not least would be the OT victory against the Steelers a few years ago. My neighbor came over and offered us his two extra tickets to the game. Without hesitation my wife and I jumped at the chance to go. During the celebration after DT's catch and touchdown in overtime, I reached over to give my neighbor a high five and accidentally punched my wife in the nose. I didn't know it at the time and when I saw her crying, I thought she was crying for joy! But as it turns out, it was because I tried to give her a shiner. Awww... the things we do for love, right?

We talked to Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider about QB Ryan Tannehill, shutting out the San Diego Chargers, and that Dolphins' defensive line. Thanks to Kevin for taking the time!

1. Ryan Tannehill is enjoying a good season and is seeming to get better as it moves along. What do you attribute to the improvement?

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn2.sbnation.com/assets/3706325/bloglinks.css">

  More Dolphins

Miami Dolphins blog The Phinsider

I think Tannehill's improvement is a combination of him getting more comfortable with new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor's offense, as well as Lazor getting more comfortable with Tannehill's skill set. Lazor is getting creative with his play calling, and is using Tannehill's ability to run perfectly as of late, both running for yardage and rolling him around behind the line of scrimmage. Tannehill plays his best when he is throwing on the move and when he is being blitzed. He's not perfect in those scenarios, but he is good at it, and Lazor is using that to the team's advantage.

2. In your post on Denver's depth chart, one of your writers wrote, "Miami, just throw the football." What do Tannehill's weapons look like, and how is the passing game being used to attack defenses?

The offense is not "dink-and-dunk" but there are not a lot of deep passing plays, either. The idea is to get the ball out of Tannehill's hand quickly, to let the playmakers make plays. Mike Wallace is turning into a really nice wide receiver - not just a speed guy going deep on every play, but crossing the field, playing hard, and making things happen. Jarvis Landry is a steal of a second round pick at this point, and looks better-and-better every week. He's a possession receiver who has the speed to be a difference maker.

The frustration of the receiving corps so far has been the disappearance of Brian Hartline and Charles Clay this year. They have both made guest appearances at times, but it's normally a cameo and then they are gone again. Both have been battling injuries, so that's probably a big part of the issue, but it's just been difficult knowing that both of them could be big parts of the offense, only to wonder where they are.

3. We all know the Dolphins have one of the fiercest defensive lines in football. What about them makes them so good?

Defensive end Cameron Wake is one of the fastest players off the snap I have ever seen

Speed and tenacity. Cameron Wake is one of the fastest players I have ever seen in terms of reaction time from snap to starting his rush. There have been times this year where the commentators have called him off sides, but the replay shows he is just that good at timing the snap and firing out of his stance.

Olivier Vernon on the opposite side is developing into a great pass rusher of his own. He's not Wake, but he is very talented. Inside, Randy Starks, Earl Mitchell, and Jared Odrick rotate, and all three of them can get after a quarterback in their own right.

That does not even mention Derrick Shelby, Terrence Fede, Dion Jordan, and Chris McCain, all of whom have shown flashes of great pass rush abilities, and can make plays.

None of them quit. The Dolphins rotate all of the lineman a lot, which keeps them fresh throughout the game and makes it so, on every snap they play, they are able to go all-out.

4. The Dolphins shut out the Chargers a few weeks ago, which was freaking great. Any tips on how to do that?

Move to the East Coast, play a 1pm ET game, and make it hot and humid? Really, I think that was just a perfect team game. Everyone came to play that day, and the Dolphins were able to put it all together, from the coaching through every individual execution. That game was incredible, and it is going to take another effort like that to keep up with Peyton Manning and the Broncos this week.

5. What are your predictions for the game and for the Dolphins down the stretch?

 <link href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css" rel="stylesheet">

I don't know how to predict this game. Which Dolphins team will we see this week, the one that laid an egg to the Bills early in the season? The one who gave up late leads to Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford this year? The one that demolished the Chargers? Which Broncos team will we see? The good thing is, Miami can drop this game and be okay in the playoff race. It's not ideal, but there is at least a little wiggle room.

This game will probably be a good one, and a close one. Miami's defense has to be able to get to Peyton, and the offense cannot turnover the ball. The Broncos offensive line has to play better than it has the last couple of weeks and find a way to overcome last week's injuries. Both teams have strengths and weaknesses right now, and it will come down to who is able to execute better. I think the Broncos probably win, because I never bet against Peyton, but a Miami win is probably not out of the realm of possibility.

As for the rest of the season, Miami should be in position to make the playoffs. They have the talent and just have to learn how to win some close games, holding on to the lead late when they have it. I have not given up hope for an AFC East crown, given the Dolphins are just two game behind the Patriots, but still have to play them again this year, and have already beaten them once. It's possible, even if it is not likely.

If the offensive linemen are addressing the media, it's a good bet they must feel a need to go on the defensive with the public and not just an opposing team. And after the way they've played of late, they would be right.

Good morning, Broncos Country!

I'm doing a little happy dance over here, and you want to know why?

 Raiders won (don't ask, I know it was hard for all of you too);

Champ is a Bronco (and he took to social media to talk to fans!);

It's been five days since that game against the Ra... (wait, who did we play again?);

It's finally almost the next game.

Oh, and...

the Broncos O-Line spoke to the media.

What?

You heard that right.

You know something's up in Broncos Country when the Big Uglies are talking to reporters.

I hear the #Broncos OL all addressed the media. Wonder if each lineman gave one letter of "R-E-L-A-X"
 — MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) November 20, 2014

Mark Schlereth's comments earlier in the week that the Broncos' offensive line was "horrendous" must have gotten their attention.

The former Pro Bowl offensive lineman-turned-analyst added that giving an F grade to the line would be "kind."

"I watch every game of every team every week. It's bad technique-wise, athleticism-wise, toughness-wise," he said.

Ouch.

But the members of our O-Line insist they know they have a lot to work on and comments from Schlereth and others don't upset them.

At least that's what they're saying publicly.

And if the promises to better this week aren't just rhetoric, it means Sunday's game should actually be a contest rather than a migraine.

 — Denver Broncos (@Broncos) November 20, 2014

Which is excellent because if there is a game this offensive line needs to be darn near perfect, it could be this one.

Miami has possibly the best overall defense in the league, and the Broncos have no games left where they can afford to keep tinkering with the line.

"This whole group, they are really good," offensive coordinator Adam Gase said of the Dolphins defense. "They are good on the back end, the linebacking corps is playing excellent and that front is tough. It's going to be a challenge for us this weekend. They are not the second-ranked defense in the NFL for no reason. They've been playing really well, especially lately."

Well, that's just great.

Orlando Franklin, who switched from playing right tackle his entire career to left guard this year, says it's going to come down to playing angry.

We play angry every week. I'm an offensive lineman. I'm going to play angry every week. -Orlando Franklin

"We play angry every week. It doesn't really matter," Franklin said. "I'm an offensive lineman. I'm going to play angry every week. I'm pretty sure all my teammates try to do the exact same thing."

Angry or not, Ryan Clady admitted they just have to play better to have a chance against this Dolphins' defense.

"If we go, the team goes," Clady said. "We definitely need to improve. We had a bad week. I think we'll get better, and we'll get it back on track."

We definitely need to improve. We had a bad week. I think we'll get better and get back on track. -Ryan Clady, Tackle

Part of getting on track is communication - something that takes time no matter what, but is definitely harder when you switch positions around mid-season. It also accounts for the Broncos' league high 87 penalties so far.

"Communication is really important," said Will Montgomery, who is new to the Broncos this year and only a starter for the past few games.

"We want to make sure we're picking up all their stunts and blitzes, and whatever guys they have blitzing, we want to pick them all up and let [Manning] have time to throw the ball."

Some insight into Montgomery's move to the starting center over Manny Ramirez could be his communication with Manning.

"He has a really nice calm, collected air about him," Montgomery said of The Sheriff. "I'll make a 'Mike' point and if he doesn't like it he changes it. He gets us in the right play so you know that you've just got 100 percent confidence behind you and you feel really confident with what he's doing."

Ramirez acknowledged that overall communication is still a pretty big adjustment.

"It's definitely not where we want it to be, but it's a work-in-progress," said the former center, who switched to guard two weeks ago.

Ramirez added that communication also involves supporting each other, especially right now as the line is taking so much heat from analysts, fans and coaches.

"We can't allow ourselves to worry about that type of stuff. We've just got to make sure we stick together and continue to put our heads down and continue to grind and be able to go with whatever we're given," he said. "We know we're good enough to be able to go out there with any lineup that we have because I feel like that's the type of depth we have on the O-Line. We've just got to make it work."

Yes, please make it work. Please. Not be dramatic (well, OK, to be dramatic) - the season may just be riding on "it" working.

Immediately after the loss and throughout the week, Peyton Manning had claimed the bulk of responsibility for last week's meltdown against the Rams.

But his offensive line knows they have to step up and be accountable too.

The #Broncos' entire offensive line met the media Thursday … and vowed improvement. MORE: http://t.co/i6K465MM3X pic.twitter.com/sNZ1DmtpEi
 — Denver Broncos (@Broncos) November 21, 2014

"Every single offensive lineman is going to get beat, but just knowing the type of quarterback that we have back there and he has the confidence in us that we're going to get the job done does make you feel good," Ramirez said. "But at the same time, as much as he takes care of us, we have to take care of him. Whether it's him getting rid of the ball real quick and the times that he has to hold it, we have to be able to man up and stand our blocks a little bit longer."

Offensive coordinator Adam Gase jumped on the accountability train late in the week too, admitting that running the ball more and calling a better game will give the team a better shot, particularly the line and its QB.

The first thing I can do is run the ball more. I can call some better plays to make sure we put ourselves in a third-and-manageable. -Adam Gase, offensive coordinator

"The first thing I can do is run the ball more," Gase said about how he could help the O-line. "Last game probably was very telling in that aspect, of giving them more of a chance and allowing those guys to tee off a little bit instead of being on their heels so much. So I'd say that is probably the No. 1 thing."

A close No. 2 would be better plays, and Gase acknowledged as much.

"I can call some better plays to make sure we put ourselves in a third-and-manageable [distance]," Gase said, admitting that mixing up plays is not really his strength. "That is probably the hardest thing for me to make sure I'm mixing it up and constantly trying to keep the defensive coordinator guessing so he can't get a read on it."

But he also hinted that it's impossible to plan too much because there's no way to know what's going to happen in a game.

"It's hard to go into a game and say we are just going to do this. So we have to see how this game is going to go, script what you're thinking early but it can change really fast," Gase said. "We've gotten 10, 12 plays deep in what we thought we had planned and then we've gotten about three plays in and had to change course. We have to see how it's going to be on that day. It's hard to predict this far out."

I hope I'm the only one who thinks that sounds like a terrible approach. Hopefully I'm missing some genius in there.Flexibility is good, but that sounded a little too unplanned and unprepared for me. But with Manning on the field, even Gase has admitted the quarterback has gotten him out of some bad calls.

"Having Peyton really helps because he can get you out of bad plays when you call them," Gase said. "That is what he does so well and that is probably the one thing that I've been able to count on if I do call a bad play instead of him running it, he fixes it and makes sure we get a good play."

Whatever those plays are this weekend, they're going to have to be effective because the Dolphins are salivating at the chance to do what several teams have done this season - prove the Broncos offense is, in fact, fallible.

"They're a great front, a Top-10 defense," said Clady. "It is definitely another challenge for us, and I think we're ready to step up to the plate."

Let's hope so. I can't take another game like last week.

But it is a home game and nothing can encourage a team to win better than Mile High fans...and uh, hopefully a no-room-for-screwing-up attack mentality about the game.

Gardner prunes Spurs' growing ambitions
Birmingham City 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1: Midfielder earns Birmingham point as Redknapp sees dominance wasted
Sunday 05 December 2010
Harry Redknapp has seen more comebacks than Frank Sinatra this season but was last night cursing the dramatic late intervention of Craig Gardner.
Spurs have become known as the comeback kings this term and Gardner gave him a taste of their own medicine to save Birmingham. He levelled nine minutes from time to frustrate the Spurs manager and leave him again fearing it will be the defence that ruins an unlikely title bid. Sébastien Bassong had given Spurs the lead after 19 minutes and they looked on course to become only the second visitors to win here in 15 months. But Gardner rewarded Birmingham's late pressure with an emphatic header.
Redknapp is still waiting for his first clean sheet in the Premier League since the opening day of the season, and he knows it is wrecking his dream of a crack at challenging the likes of Chelsea.
He said: "Not only did I think we would win this game today, by half-time I was sure of it. We had enough chances before then to win the game. But give Birmingham credit – they gave everything for their manager and got something out of the game."
Spurs had only won once outside the capital before yesterday and Birmingham's excellent record at their fortress must have made Redknapp fear a frustrating afternoon. However, the visitors were ahead after 19 minutes following a moribund start.
Inevitably, it was Gareth Bale who was involved as he bent over a delicious free-kick from the right that created panic and Ben Foster's failed punch allowed Bassong to show off a swift turn for a centre-half, before hammering home as the Blues' defence stood motionless.
McLeish had admitted earlier in the season that a successful cup run would be rendered irrelevant if his team suffered relegation. That fate appears unlikely although the compact nature of the Premier League at this stage ensures Birmingham are still peering nervously over their shoulders at the drop zone.
Their lung-busting efforts against the old enemy in the Carling Cup on Wednesday night clearly affected them in the early stages. McLeish opted for a five-man midfield in an attempt to eradicate the threat of Bale and it was not until the 33rd minute that the hosts produced their first snarl of defiance, with Gardner arrowing a 20-yard drive inches wide.
Gardner was involved in a needless clash with Wilson Palacios soon after, appearing to aim a tame kick at the back of the midfielder.
The second period yielded no improvement in fortune from Birmingham, with Gardner heading a Liam Ridgewell cross straight at Heurelho Gomes. Redknapp named two goalkeepers, Carlo Cudicini and Stipe Pletikosa, on the bench after an injuryto David Bentley on Friday but not even Gomes was required for most of the afternoon.
And Spurs had chances to ease the need for nailbiting with Crouch and Jermain Defoe both wastefully placing efforts wide. Bale cleverly manoeuvred himself some space in the 72nd minute to bamboozle Stephen Carr but Foster redeemed his earlier error with a fine reflex save from the Welshman's fierce drive.
Gomes, finally, was called into action late on and did brilliantly to deny Ridgewell from close range. He was powerless, however, to deny Gardner. The Birmingham midfielder had appeared the one player capable of unsettling Spurs and he was in the right place to nod into the corner from Nikola Zigic's headed cross.
McLeish said: "The Villa game took unbelievable energy out of us, it was an emotional night.
"Harry might have thought we were here for the taking after that, we were tired and a lot of players running on empty. The one thing that we can't deny is our phenomenal spirit. We've got a reputation here at St Andrew's and at half-time I told them to preserve that."

The Report by Mohammad Isam
March 3, 2013
Sri Lanka Development Emerging Team 398 for 9 (Vithanage 157*, Priyanjan 83) v Bangladeshis
Related Links
Players/Officials: Sohag Gazi | Kithuruwan Vithanage
Series/Tournaments: Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka
Teams: Bangladesh | Sri Lanka
Kithuruwan Vithanage was the entertainer of the day, as the Sri Lanka Development Emerging Team gave Bangladesh a Sri Lankan workout on the opening day of their tour game. Vithanage's fifth first-class century, ending the day on an unbeaten 157, didn't, however, completely overshadow offspinner Sohag Gazi's five-for.
Bangladesh should be concerned about the number of runs they conceded but the run-rate of 4.43 was almost expected from a bowling attack that had been out of touch with longer-version cricket for most of the 2012-13 season.
Gazi, though, looked less like a bowler in his first international season. He repeatedly flighted the ball while showing equal caution by keeping the ball right up to the batsmen. The young batsmen bought into his generous flight, and five of them fell trying to get him away and succumbed to his control. Gazi's efforts have provided captain Mushfiqur Rahim the relief of finding one bowler with wicket-taking confidence.
In his third over, Gazi gave the visitors the opening wicket after Abul Hasan and Rubel Hossain bowled an opening spell that didn't cause the batsmen too many problems. Udara Jayasundera missed an off-break which turned just enough to take the off stump, before Gazi had the home captain Angelo Perera stumped for 15 just shortly following the lunch break.
Gazi was given a break, during which time Mushfiqur tried out various bowling options and partnerships that weren't successful. In that time, Ashan Priyanjan and Vithanage added 159 for the fifth wicket.
Gazi broke the stand when Priyanjan, on 83, tried to loft him over mid-on but couldn't clear Jahurul Islam. Niroshan Dickwella was out similarly, caught at mid-on, six overs later before the five-for was completed with the wicket of Ishara Jayaratne in the 70th over.
Vithanage, at the other end, progressed impressively against a Test attack, reaching his century in the final session of play. Coming in to bat with a cap on, the Vithanage, a left-hander, survived a few nervy moments at the start before playing mostly straight. He felt comfortable sweeping the ball, too, but most of his runs were brought about by his tendency to move towards the leg side even when the spinners pitched it up.
Vithanage also took full toll of a flagging Bangladesh attack that was a bowler short after the first hour. Abul Hasan threw up a couple of times during his first spell, suffering from dehydration and didn't return to the field for the rest of the day. Mushfiqur's other concern would be a second spinner.
Elias Sunny, the left-arm spinner, is his only choice in the 15-man squad but he looked far from the accomplished first-class bowler he has been in the last five years. He gave the left-handers more room, but wasn't penetrative enough. Rubel had enough overs under his belt to feel confident and give the team management assurance that he is building towards the Test match. Only Gazi will bowl with a wicket-taker's confidence, and Mushfiqur will look at his other options to provide everything else if not the wickets.

Steeper NZ rate curve provides opportunities to hedge; BNZ sees flattening potential
By Kymberly Martin
Over the past few weeks, in thinner Christmas/New Year markets, NZ swap yields have continued to trade within established ranges.
Yields are now at the upper end of ranges, with 2-year at 2.79%.
The market now prices only a 20% chance of a 25bps cut from the RBNZ in the year ahead.
We do not expect cuts, but rather a first hike at year end.
Still, we believe that over H1 the market will likely still periodically move to price increased chance of rate cuts. This will occur either when: perceptions of global risk rise; when markets extrapolate expected further RBA cuts across the Tasman; or when NZ data is underwhelming.
These times may provide opportunities to incrementally add to hedges.
The NZ 2s-10s curve has steepened from the long-end, as it has followed US (and AU) long yields higher. The curve is now 113bps steep, approaching levels we would re-position for flattening. US 10-year yields rose into early New Year.
Related Topics
Still, on Friday night, 10-year yields were knocked back from 8 month highs to sit back at key levels just below 1.90%. It has marked the top of the range since August.
This occurred as the US unemployment rate was shown ticking up from 7.7% to 7.8%, once again raising doubts regarding how quickly the Fed can reign in very loose policy.
We expect this debate will continue for some time, and US long yields are not on a one-way path higher. However, we do see 10-year yields higher at 2.25% by year end.
This should help limit flattening pressure on the NZ curve, otherwise induced by approaching OCR hikes.
The spreads of peripheral European bonds to German counterparts have narrowed in recent days on the back of broader market optimism. This has taken Italian-German spreads to their tightest level in around 16 months. A key upcoming challenge in this region will be the Italian election scheduled for late February.
This week, is fairly thin on the ground for market moving domestic data. Globally, a number of data will add colour on the state of Europe. The EU unemployment rate is released tomorrow and expected to pick up to 11.8%. German industrial production is released on Thursday. On Thursday night, both the BoE and ECB are expected to announce interest rates.

After unusually strong second and third quarters, the desktop graphics card market saw exceptional growth in shipments in the fourth quarter of last year, according to a new report by Jon Peddie Research. The market research firm says unit shipments increased by a staggering 50.3% between Q4 2006 and Q4 2007, and a still-impressive 23% sequentially between Q3 and Q4 2007. The overall value of the desktop graphics card market also increased 46.3% year-over-year, but lower average selling prices actually led to a sequential decrease of 0.6%.
Looking at market share, JPR's numbers suggest that AMD actually lost a fair amount of ground to Nvidia in Q4 despite the arrival of its Radeon HD 3800 series. Nvidia reportedly expanded its slice of the desktop graphics card market from 64% in the third quarter to 71%, leaving AMD with less than a third of all shipments. The report JPR sent us doesn't include any speculation on the cause of Nvidia's gains, but we'd be willing to bet the late October launch of the popular GeForce 8800 GT had something to do with it.

"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards.

Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."
"Overall we are very satisfied with the product, service and delivery time. paper and print quality could be a little bit better."
"I always get compliments on these cards - more than any other card I use. For Interior Designers - it's a super cool card...."
"I love these business cards! They turned out so great! The colours are beautiful and the fonts are perfect. I'm especially impressed by the paper quality- nice and thick and high-end. I've gotten lots of comments from clients that they love them, too! I'll definitely reorder when I run out!"
"I am very picky about business card styles, but I fell in love with this card when I saw it online, and even more when it arrived. The colors and simplicity; it really is beautiful. I got the glossy paper, and the colors almost shimmer. I always receive compliments on my card. I will be reordering."

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
It's decision time for Christians who say they support life and religious freedom. The Department of Health and Human Services released the final text of the Obamacare mandate that requires healthcare plans to provide free contraception, sterilizations, abortifacients, and abortion-inducing drugs.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/3/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: Obamacare, abortion, mandate, individual, insurance, cost, conscience
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The HHS was thorough. Virtually every kind of conceivable contraceptive, abortifacient, and abortion device, drug, and procedure is covered by the provision.
What's not included?
Your right to religious freedom.
Catholics and other Christians as well as anyone with a religious conscience will now have to start paying for health insurance plans that provide free contraception, sterilization, abortifacients, and abortion-inducing drugs to women at will.
This makes anyone who pays for these plans complicit in mass murder.
The Obama administration hopes that individuals are able to quell their conscience sufficiently to pay up, or fear the penalties enough to comply without raising anymore fuss. However, several lawsuits are pending in a bid to defend the religious freedom of all.
There are what the Obama administration calls "accommodations" in the law for certain organizations, bnt the exemption is very narrow and is more of a linguistic slight-of-hand than a true exemption.
Religious, non-profit organizations that promote themselves as such are "eligible organizations" that can apply to the IRS for exemption. If they do manage to secure an exemption, then the insurance company will be required to cover the difference. Naturally, the money for this coverage will not come out of their profits. Instead, it will anticipate these costs and build them into premiums and other costs they compel clients to pay.
Someone has to pay, and no matter what, it will be you.
Insurance companies notably do not have the option to opt out of such provisions either. For example, a Catholic university could not contract with a Catholic insurer to protect themselves. The insurance company would be compelled to pay, even if the university were exempt.
All of this will be overseen by the IRS, a department due to be headed by nobody less than Lois Lerner, although that may now change. Lois Lerner has been promoted to the department that oversees business compliance with Obamacare regulations.
Lerner is currently under Congressional investigation for her alleged role in the IRS harassment of conservative organizations that were applying for non-profit status.
So, the law of the land has been issued and all that's left are to pay and obey.
What decision will you make?
