Whammy Game for the Broncos

I think the Washington Commanders should run against the Denver Broncos. I don't know if that's likely considering Eric Bieniemy and the Chiefs threw the ball all over the place against them last year. Yet the Broncos were 1-7 against people running the ball for over 100 yards and 0-2 against the Chiefs who could care less about running on them.

Of course, that means if Washington runs AND passes against the Broncos, they are guaranteed a win, right?

And do you bruise and then wind or wind and then bruise? Do you run Antonio Gibson or some other fleet wheeler and then cap the punishment off with bruiser Brian Robinson? Or do you bruise and wind at the same time? 

I prefer using the scatback first because he's a bigger threat in the passing game and a bigger threat to take it to the house. This would open up the playbook. Then you use the Bruiser the last ten to fifteen or so runs. Run them out of gas and then do high intensity weight training on them, platooning the O-Line, getting some experience for those fresh young guys and some rest for the geezers presently holding down the fort. 

You can platoon run blocking. Irritating as hell trying to defend some twenty-two year old fresh off the bench. He's got no arthritis. No bursitis. No broken bones and is still getting dates.

I know with the media/Bronco Fans/betting public none of that will matter because the Broncos are scheduled in the Akashic Records to pound the Commanders without mercy, giving Denver fans an emotional band-aid for psychological wounds suffered in losing to the hated Raiders.

And there is the fact Sean Payton has dominated Ron Rivera in their head-to-heads. These two are very familiar with each other. Their assistant coaches are familiar with each other. There may be a few surprises. But I doubt it. Payton whammed Jack Del Rio for 33 points the last time he faced Washington. He's going to want to pump a few long ones up on Jack once again.

So a good whammy game would be where in franchise history have we beaten Sean Payton in a road game before a National TV Audience where we were big underdogs? And I expect by the time the Media finishes giving us the Arizona treatment, we will be big underdogs Sunday.

Where have we beaten somebody who usually beat our Head Coach habitually? 

If you remember, Sean Payton's mentor, Bill Parcells, dominated Joe Gibbs once upon a time like Sean Payton has dominated Ron Rivera. 

However, something changed in 2005. 

Who do the Dallas Cowboys of 2005 and the Denver Broncos of 2023 have in common?

Sean Payton.

So let it be whammied. So let it be done.
