Today, after church, I went with my brother-in-law and my sister up to my grandparent’s house to celebrate the fourth birthday of my nephew. While there, naturally, we had to watch the Broncos play the Chargers too. And that game, as those who watched it would agree, was also extremely interesting! Once again, the Chargers managed to lose a game in the closing seconds (although not on the very last play this time). And the loss did begin on a fortunate (for Broncos fans) missed ref call where Cutler fumbled but was ruled an incomplete pass on the field, and because the whistle was blown by rule it ended up being the Broncos ball at the spot where the ball hit the turf even though the Chargers actually recovered it.
But then when Denver scored their touchdown and were down 38-37, instead of kicking the extra point Shannahan went for 2…and got it.
I have to say it’s nice watching him be a little less conservative on the field now that he knows his offense is good. (Broncos still have massive problems on defense though.) It was first seen in the final seconds of the first half when, instead of kicking the easy field goal, they went for the touchdown (and got that one too). And then the gamble at the end by doing the 2 point conversion. I think the Broncos have a great chance with their offense this year…but defense wins championships and the D feel apart in the second half.
Oh well. I just can’t wait for hockey to begin.
One last thing. Normally when I am at my grandparent’s home, I leave with a massive headache. That’s because I’m allergic to one of my grandma’s cats. However, apparently the cat that I am allergic to has disappeared. Most probably, it was eaten by some of the foxes that roam their neighborhood. So while on the one hand that’s a bad thing for my grandma, at least now I don’t get a migrane at her house….
Oh well. I just can’t wait for hockey to begin.
I think I said that before. Oh well….
