Just like with the links to what is being said in Denver, we've gone through the Broncos' press release and uncovered some interesting statistical stuff. Here goes:

** The Broncos have trailed for only 4:46 of the first 180 minutes of the season. I know they've played Cincinnati, Cleveland and Oakland - and that will be a familiar refrain with some of these numbers - but that's still impressive.

** Left tackle Ryan Clady has not allowed a full sack in his career (19 games). According to Stats Inc., that's currently the longest streak in the NFL. The Broncos have allowed only three sacks this season and allowed a league-low 12 last year. By the way, Clady held Oakland's Richard Seymour and Cincinnati's Antwan Odom, the current league sack leader, without sacks so far this year.

** The Broncos have allowed only 16 points in three games, which is the third fewest in the Super Bowl era through three games. Green Bay (2001) and Seattle (2004) allowed 13 points through three games those years. Now, the rankings of the offenses they have played so far are No. 24 (Cincy), No. 32 (Browns) and No. 31 (Raiders).

** Kyle Orton is 6-1 in his last seven starts and 24-12 as a starter. He's only thrown one October interception in his career, and he has gone 126 passes without a pick. Only Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (158) has a longer streak without a pick.

** Remember Correll Buckhalter when he was in Philly? He has three 20-yard plus runs already. He's never had more than five in a season.

Which is more likely to happen on Sunday:

Ware gets a sack?

Orton throws an INT?

Orton INT

 

[joseephuss]

Orton INT

Because Ware is pressuring him on the throw.

Which is more likely to happen on Sunday:

Orton throws an INT?

neither one has a good chance of happening

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Ware getting a sack. Only because our secondary is abysmal at creating turnovers and they got 2 monday night. We might not see another interception till November now.

 

[theebs]

wow their is confident, their is cocky and then there is whatever you are.

I guess Dallas shouldnt show up.

and the great thing is the media is going to be talking about this all week and I love the fact that Demarcus ware is going to be told he has not given up a sack ever.

The best coach I ever played for told us to be cocky smart not cocky stupid, its good advice you should probably think about.

Correct. Ware (who led the league in sacks last year) does not have a good chance of getting a sack this weekend and Orton, who is pretty close to a 1-1 career TD to INT ratio has no chance of throwing an INT.

Broncos gave up the least amount of sacks last year in the league despite throwing the ball 40+ a game. Have not given up a sack in last two games. Orton has yet to throw an interception this season. Im not being cocky i'm just stating my opinion based on the facts so far this season. Didn't your team get its first sack and int in just your last game??

There must be some sort of other message that non-Cowboys fans see when they come to the Zone, making it so enticing for them to come here and just say stupid things. Like an internet Statue of Liberty or something.

"Cowboyszone - Send us your stupid, your illiterate, your morons."

The real morons are the people that just call other posters with a different opinion names because that can't come up with any real reasons why ware will get a sack or orton will throw an int. BTW one or the other has yet to happen this season.

Dallas led the league in sacks last year. So which is it, do we go off this years stats or last years OR do we do it the troll way and just pick and choose which stats to use or ignore on an opponents forum?

 

[Doomsday101]

Little side note:

Forecast for this weekend’s game partly cloudy highs in the mid 60's lows in the 40's with little wind in the forecast. Sounds like a great day to have a football game

Welcome to America!

** The Broncos have trailed for only 4:46 of the first 180 minutes of the season. I know they've played Cincinnati, Cleveland and Oakland - and that will be a familiar refrain with some of these numbers - but that's still impressive. The game against Cincinnati might be somewhat impressive - the others sure aren't.

** Left tackle Ryan Clady has not allowed a full sack in his career (19 games). According to Stats Inc., that's currently the longest streak in the NFL. The Broncos have allowed only three sacks this season and allowed a league-low 12 last year. By the way, Clady held Oakland's Richard Seymour and Cincinnati's Antwan Odom, the current league sack leader, without sacks so far this year. Clady is a great player - already. A franchise left tackle. Ware will have his work cut out for him.

** The Broncos have allowed only 16 points in three games, which is the third fewest in the Super Bowl era through three games. Green Bay (2001) and Seattle (2004) allowed 13 points through three games those years. Now, the rankings of the offenses they have played so far are No. 24 (Cincy), No. 32 (Browns) and No. 31 (Raiders). As I stated above, they haven't faced a quality offense yet.

** Kyle Orton is 6-1 in his last seven starts and 24-12 as a starter. He's only thrown one October interception in his career, and he has gone 126 passes without a pick. Only Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (158) has a longer streak without a pick. He's a solid bus-driver type who plays within himself.

** Remember Correll Buckhalter when he was in Philly? He has three 20-yard plus runs already. He's never had more than five in a season. Good to see that he's playing well after numerous tough-breaks with injury.

Comments in bold.

Ok lets go by this years stats then.

Broncos rank tied for 3rd giving up 3 sacks. 0 in the last two weeks.
Broncos tied for 1st with 0 interceptions thrown

Cowboys rank 25th with 3 sacks on the season
Cowboys rank 15th with 2 int

All of your sacks and int came against Carolina.

The guy is high. He has 420 in his name. Can't take stoners seriously.

K?? nice points regarding this game. And btw im not high. It is too early in the day and I still have a paper to write.

I gonna say both

 

[Wrangler87]

I have not heard a lot of Broncos fans gloating about being 3-0 so far this season. Of course, considering how they won the Bengals game, their only real game, I guess they would do best to not say too much.
