Pathetic showing, thats all I'll be adding.

Exactly what he did. Without the running. (Far as I can tell,only got to see the last 3 minutes.) No sacks,no picks,1 TD passing,1 TD on the ground. Team won.

Did Gore get hurt or something?

No Gore played entire game and played well.

Yes I noticed that but why wasn't he in there when they were running 3 straight run plays from their own 20? That's why I was wondering if he got hurt.

Well. It wasn't the prettiest game but the job was done.

The sporadically bad officiating seemed to travel with both teams. A couple of pretty questionable calls in that game. That hi/low block call that pulled 6 off the board for the Broncos really sticks out to me (not that I'll complain too loudly).

TS didn't look all terrible. As the game moved along, he seemed to get better and better actually. Now if they can continue to improve...and pull the damn handcuffs off the friggin' offense.

All in all though, it may be too little, too late.

That hit on Orton! OUCH! This game was enjoyable for me, Troy Smith got off to a slow start but had some good throws in the 3rd/4th Qtr. Gore did his job, Denver hasn't heard of the word 'Run' on both sides of the ball. That Flea Flicker was brilliant, shame it got called back.

Troy Smith, thank you.
