[net.sport.football] Alright who kidnapped the Broncos Offense, and what is the ransom

mas@drutx.UUCP (Mike Schwarz) (12/10/85)

I was watching my Denver Broncos rake havoc on the one Oakland Raiders.  The 
score at half-time reflicted a Raiders team, as beat and done.  Rich Karlis
missed a field goal, but that's okay.  The Broncos Offense came on the field,
but a different Bronco Offense, must have been a college bottom 10 team.  I
have not seen such an offensive turnaround, in all my days as a Bronco fan
(some 18 years now).

I am posing this question to the net, who kidnapped the Broncos Offense, and
what is the ransom, you wish to be paid.  I am leaving the net December 31
so please respond soon.

Go Broncos

It was probably the top 3 AFC East teams, all of whom benefitted from
Denver's loss to LA.  It is possible that the Bronco's will go 11-5
and not make the playoffs.  If the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots all finish
at 11-5 (or better), they all make the playoffs and Denver is out (assuming
LA wins the West).  Since those East teams are now 10-4, there is a good
possibility of that happening.

On another note, it is also possible that the Jets and Giants will both
be host teams for the wild-card games.  Since the wild-card games are
scheduled for December 29 and both the Jets and Giants play in the same
stadium, the NFL has got a problem.  Most likely, one of the games would
be played on Saturday, Dec 28.  But a game that day would conflict with
college bowl games that are being televised on both NBC and CBS.  Hopefully,
both the Jets and Giants will will their division so that won't happen.
