No Suspension Coming For Cody Wallace

He did, however, get fined.

I’ll add what Andrew Mason and Jeff Legwold had to say, because both hit the nail on the head.

Broncos Wednesday Practice Notes

* Peyton Manning did not practice. I think it’s clear he won’t take another snap for the regular season. Looks like the KC game will be his last game with the Broncos, unless the Broncos make the playoffs (good chance) and he is able to practice and the team starts him (slim chance).

* T.J. Ward returned to practice. Looks like he’ll be on track to start Monday vs. the Bengals.

* Others not practicing were Darian Stewart, Omar Bolden and Todd Davis. For those three, the key is if they practice by Friday.

Four Broncos Named To Pro Bowl

In addition, four other Broncos were named as alternates: Demaryius Thomas, Louis Vasquez, Brandon Marshall and TJ Ward.

Perhaps most important, however, was the omission of both Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson, not even as alternates.  The only reason that’s important is because it may very slightly reduce their value on the open market should they hit free agency in 2016.

David Bruton Played With A Broken Fibula During The Steelers Game

4-6 weeks doesn’t necessarily end Bruton’s season, but it sure seems like the Super Bowl would be the only game that Bruton could have a decent chance of appearing in.  Bruton, for his part, gave a bittersweet message to the fans:

Market For Osweiler May Be Overstated

Call me inspired after taking a few days off from writing, but I wanted to get something in quickly regarding Brock Osweiler and whether or not the market for his services is really going to be as big as some might think it will be.

First of all, we need to remember the season isn’t over yet and that, while Osweiler has had good moments, he’s had his bad moments as well. He’s not yet in the category of where Colin Kaepernick once was (two NFC title games and a Super Bowl trip), and not in the category of what Andy Dalton was when he signed his extension (playoff trip every year he started). And while Nick Foles got a nice extension, he already had two full seasons as a starter under his belt, while Osweiler will have no more than seven regular-season starts this year.

Second, it’s not just a matter of teams throwing money at a quarterback just to do so. A team that is going to throw money at a QB is going to be a team that’s desperate to get over the hump and has a regime that senses its necks are on the line in 2016 if it doesn’t do something big. Furthermore, no team is going to give Osweiler big money if it already has money tied up in a quarterback, is developing its own QB, considering extending a current QB or won’t have the cap space to play such a game.

The Morning After: Answering A Few Questions

If any words were to describe yesterday’s outing by the Denver Broncos against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it would be “mixed bag.”

The problem, of course, is the first half was mostly positive while the second half was mostly one we’d like to forget.

I don’t think anyone who is frustrated would feel as bad if it had been a back-and-forth game in which the Steelers happened to get the game-winning drive and the Broncos’ final drive fell short. Instead, we get a “tale of two halves” narrative and we are ready to throw everyone under the bus.
