Broncos Fever & the Gridiron Gods

Tonight the Broncos did right. Despite some terrible play, they managed to win a tough game and secure top seed in the AFC. But they don't feel like a #1 seed to me. I just don't know what to expect from our offense. Brock seemed to stabilize our system, but Peyton shows glimpses of his former cyborg in a comeback win. I now post this homemade Broncos Wallpaper for your pleasure (ping me for the full-size png if interested).

Nothing against Brock, but you've got to let Peyton play this out. He's earned it and to not let him start at this point would be an insult. If anything this season worked out perfectly. We managed to get a #1 seed and rest Peyton for nearly half the season. Not to mention the first round bye. This is the best shot he is going to get at being rested and prepared for a post season push to win another title and exercise some of his demons and silence his critics. So I now offer this sacreligous prayer that should not be taken seriously.

GODS OF THE GRIDIRON, 

YOU WHO LOOK DOWN ON PUNY MORTALS THAT HONOR YOUR GAME WITH BLOOD; HEAR MY CRY.

SHED FORTH THY FAVOR ON YOUR IRON SON. 

BLESS HIS FEET TO NOT DANCE, 
HIS CAGE TO BE UN-RATTLED, 
AND ABOVE ALL, GIRD UP HIS NECK AGAINST THE FURY OF HIS FOES.  

FORTIFY HIS PROTECTORS WITH THE WISDOM TO PICK UP THE BLITZ,
DELIVER DOZENS OF PANCAKES,
AND THE FURY TO DOMINATE IN THEIR GROUND ASSAULT.
MAY OUR RUSHERS GO DOWNHILL,
AND GIVE OUR RECEIVERS STICKY FINGERS, SOFT HANDS AND THE GIFT OF MAKING TOAST

SHINE ON OUR "D" WITH THE POWER OF AGGRESSION,
AND THE WILL TO DOMINATE ALL LIFE.
BLESS THEM WITH 4-MAN PRESSURE, GAP RESPONSIBILITY, SHUT DOWN COVERAGE AND MANY, MANY SACKS. 

GIVE US WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE.
TO CRUSH OUR ENEMIES AND HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THE WOMEN.  

GRANT YOUR IRON SON ONE FINAL TRIUMPH 
TO HONOR THE SPORT OF KINGS.
MAY THIS VICTORY BE WORTHY OF FIRE, TEARS AND A SUNSET INTO THE GLORIOUS HORIZON.

AMEN. AND AH-MEN.
