Cutler's pace hard to pass up
Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler could set a regular season NFL record for passing yards -- if his right arm doesn't fall from its socket.
Cutler is on pace to throw for 5,100 yards, which would top the record (5,084 yards) established by Miami Dolphins' Hall of Famer Dan Marino in 1984.
Thing is, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is on pace to throw for a whopping 5,412 yards.
Marino is the only NFL quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in a season.
The pace established by Cutler through four games puts him on track to finish with 408 completions (which would rank third-best in NFL history) and a franchise-record 36 touchdowns. No Broncos quarterback has thrown for 30 TDs in a season.
Cutler also is on pace for 628 pass attempts, which would rank fifth-highest in NFL history. Hall of Famer John Elway holds Denver's record with 605 attempts in 1985.
These gaudy passing stats seem out of place considering the Broncos usually wield a strong running game under coach Mike Shanahan. Denver's 121-yard rushing average is 14th in the NFL, sixth in the AFC.
The days of penciling 100-yard rushers on Denver's stat ledger are fading. The Broncos haven't produced a 100-yard rusher in seven consecutive regular season games (10 in the past 11 games) since last year . . .
Might be a good time for Denver to clean up its act, it being Broncos Alumni weekend and all. Opponents have scored 117 points on the Broncos, which averages out to a 468 points for the season. The franchise record for points allowed is 473 set during the days of Mickey Slaughter and Bud McFadin in 1963 . . .
In case you're wondering, my record for NFL picks thus far is 32-27. I'm 8-4 going into tonight's Baltimore-Pittsburgh game, with the Ravens as the winner . . .
Which quarterback is likely to end his retirement before midseason -- Daunte Culpepper or Jake Plummer? . . .
Denver hasn't allowed 30 or more points in four straight games since 1968, when opponents reached 30 in the final six games of the season. The Broncos have given up 30 in each of the past three games . . .
Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden has gone 1-8 against the Broncos -- 1-7 as Raiders head coach (1998-2001), 0-4 in games played at Denver.

You need to add the "T" to spell establish ... I gave you the stat on Denver's lack of 100-yard rushers going back to last season ... that tells you something about Denver's running game

Sam, your proof reading is good...as is your statistical data on the relative past running game...however, it lacked the basic facts that the relative past has not had a consistent back producing the bulk of the yardage. The offense is doing their jobs for the most part, but the defense has yet to step up their play. It might be better served to "hope we are seeing a mirror of seasons past where the defense started out strong and faded at the end"...we really need the defense to start reeling in the opposing offenses and finish strong at the playoff time period, if there is any hope for the Broncos post season!

Man, Barry ... I remember the days when ANYBODY could line up in the backfield and run for 100 yards in Denver ... six 100-yard games in 2006, seven 100-yard games in '05, 8 100-yard games in 2004 ... I don't think Denver had a consistent back in those seasons (five different backs accounted for those 21 100-yard games) ... I do agree with you about the defense

Maybe the backs that we had in those other years were just more capable and durable. In 2005 I would say that Mike Anderson was a consistent back.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I've been doing this for your little when now. Yes, you mac needs to be constantly on for ti to do the job, but function it does. I live in the little cottage where it's just me and my cat, but with this method I'm able to use my android tablet and iphone wirelessly without the need of a router. As mentioned, also excellent for when you might be travelling. It amazes me how many hotels still never have a wireless connection, just an ethernet cable sticking away from the wall.
