The Broncs in the big one? Give me a break. I do understand, though, how people can get carried away with this. I've had to be a Packer fan all my life. Speaking of lowly teams, when are we going to hear from Bears' fans? They better hurry while they have the chance.

I believe that there are organizations that can help deal with afflictions like this... Packers Anonymous Packer Watchers even your local Crisis Clinic. Take Mike with you. :-) From the lair of the Big E Erik !uw-beaver!ssc-vax!erik

To Erik: As a loyal Packer fan, why in the world would I want to be cured? Now I can see Mike seeking treatment . . . To Mike: I'm sorry, but the Broncos do have God on their side. I cannot imagine a team being any luckier: Green Bay - fumble recs for TDs on the first 2 plays Oakland(in my heart it will always be Oakland) - Hawkins fumbled on Denver's 10 in OT New Eng - A 69yd fumble ret for TD with time running out and New England in FG range. Now you gotta admit. I will grant you that they have a great defense, but sooner or later the offense must score. As soon as the turnovers aren't being run for TDs, the Broncos lose. (Except against Minnesota, who the PACK gets to beat on next. But then anybody can score on the Vikes, as even Denver showed.) I agree many players on the Bronc defense should be all-pro. But Steve Watson? Green Bay has four receivers I would rather have. He's only slightly above average at best. Please send flames especially Bears fans

Hawkins didn't fumble, the ball was stripped from him. The Patriot's Tatupu didn't fumble, the ball was stripped from him. In Saturday's Denver/Seattle game, the Broncos stripped the ball from the Seattle runner on the opening kickoff of the 2nd half. They've stripped the ball time and again during the season. The defense and special teams have been concentrating on it every practice. Merlin Olsen emphasizes this point during every game, I guess for the benefit of those who aren't regular Bronco's game viewers. Let's call luck (like the Green Bay game) luck. Of course the Broncos offense needs improvement! Bronco fans aren't blind to the team's deficiencies. What are you doing at drutx if you aren't a Bronco fan? Mike Schwarz, are you there? Why don't you straighten out this guy (gal)? -- One of the survivors... {ihnp4 hao philabs sdcrdcf ucbvax!nbires}!stcvax!lat Larry Tepper Storage Technology, MD-3T, Louisville, CO 80028 303-673-5435
