Denver Broncos Game 15

Hawk Valley

Quick Review

The Broncos failed to score in the first quarter and fell to the Chiefs 3-23.

That was the last road game of the season for the Broncos. Their road record for 2019 stands at 2-6. Flacco won 25% of his road games, Allen won none, Lock won 50% of them.

The 2019 Bronco quarterbacks

PlayerWinning PercentagePPGPPAGames Played Flacco25%16198 Allen33%17223 Lock67%21223

As expected, Drew Lock iced up against a good team in the snow. That one game dropped the his offensive average by a whole 10 points. The Broncos offense under Lock sunk 14 spots in the rankings… which is more consistent with the 2019 Denver Broncos. Ouch!

After 8 games with Flacco, the Bronco's offense ranked 28th. After Allen's 3 games the offense jumped up two spots to 26th best. Then Lock came along and he raised the offensive ranking into the top 10. Andy Reid from Kansas City didn't like that, so he shut down the Bronco's offense. After the game he smiled as he watched Denver's ranking exit the top ten and plummet all the way down to 22nd place.

During the Week

After the game Von Miller questioned the ability of the Denver Broncos to field a good team during the remainder of his football career. Local media had fun with this.

A few people claim that Andy Reid talked to Justin Simmons after the game. If so it just highlights the fact that Kansas City has a plan and a direction while the Broncos keep hoping for the best.

Von Miller was elected to the Pro Bowl later in the week. This is probably embarrassing for him, since he’s having one of his worst seasons ever, but getting voted into the pro bowl comes with financial bonuses, so there’s that. Local media asked the question, ‘should fans be allowed to vote for the pro bowl?’. Von’s a pro bowler this season in the same way that Joe Flacco is an elite quarterback and Eli Manning is a super bowl MVP.

On Friday, the Broncos announced they had been hit by the flu bug.

Outlook

On paper, the Detroit Lions look a lot better than their record. I’m guessing their offense tanked after they lost their starting quarterback. I don’t hear much about the Lions, so I don’t know. I do know they acquired former Bronco Kyle Sloter at the end of November so, I hope he plays in the game.

The Broncos are treating this game like it’s a guaranteed victory for them, but fans that are paying attention to this season will tell you, Vic Fangio has yet to win a game against his former division, the NFC north.

Maybe Vic can get victory number one against his former division on Sunday… the Broncos are 3-3 at home.

There are two remaining games this season, both are at home.

Making sense of winning percentage and net points

Pointing out teams that have a winning percentage of less than or equal to 50 percent is great and all but how does that rank in the NFL overall? Good question, so I've decided to include the top three teams in each conference for comparison.

It’s the Economies, Stupid

John B. Judis, Washington Post Magazine, November 29, 2018

The evening of Tuesday, Nov. 6, brought the latest visual manifestation of our highly divided country: the 2018 midterm elections map. The map was similar to previous election maps--blue on the coasts and, across the rest of the country, wide swaths of red interrupted by blue dots. The major change was in the size of those blue dots: Increasingly, they seemed to be composed of both large cities and the suburbs that surround them. But why?

For two years, the main analytical lens for explaining the unshakable red-blue division in American politics has been culture and ideology: Fox News vs. MSNBC. Gun owners vs. gun skeptics. Colin Kaepernick detractors vs. Colin Kaepernick supporters. “How Everything Became the Culture War” read one recent headline in Politico Magazine. And on the surface, the 2018 midterm elections did indeed appear to boil down to cultural issues: the approach of a caravan of Honduran migrants; the rival narratives of Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford; and perhaps most of all, the political style of President Trump, which Democrats view as exceedingly offensive and many Republicans have come to see as acceptable or even admirable.

Yet in that map--and in those expanding blue dots--was a clue to another lens, one that often gets short shrift in explaining the fracturing of our country. That lens is economics--specifically, jobs. Red and blue America aren’t separated just by their cultural politics; they are separated by sharp differences in how their economies have developed over the past half-century. And those economic differences can, in turn, explain many of the cultural differences that so bedevil our political system.

There are, of course, a number of different sectors of the American economy, and those sectors can have varying kinds of political influence on the people who work in them. But it’s the changing dynamics of two particular sectors--the older industrial economy and the newer ideas economy--that explain how the current U.S. electoral map came to be. Which is why, here in Washington, if we want to formulate policies that might begin to heal our democracy, we need to pay attention not just to ideology and culture, but also to what those blue dots are telling us about where and whether people go to work each day.

Over the past 50 years, America’s industrial economy--based in the production of steel, ships, cars, textiles and other goods that were often made by factory workers on assembly lines, plus the service jobs that flourished around them--has declined substantially. Many of the older industrial sectors have become automated; they produce more with fewer workers. Other industries have moved abroad to lower their costs or have closed down in the face of foreign competition, particularly, over the past 15 years, from China. Between 1979 and today, the number of manufacturing jobs has plummeted from 19.4 million to 12.7 million.

The older industrial economy was based in cities and towns--Midwestern locales like Chicago, Gary, Detroit, Muncie, Akron, Allentown and Pittsburgh; and Southern towns like Mobile and Greensboro. The blue-collar workers tended to live in the cities, and the white-collar office workers and managers in the suburbs. As the older industries have fallen into disrepair or moved, some of the towns and cities have fallen on hard economic times. Many residents have moved to nearby suburbs; their children, if they were able to, left as soon as they finished school.

Alongside the decline of this old economy, a new, knowledge-based economy has arisen. This economy specializes in ideas--embodied in such goods as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, movies and software. MIT economist Peter Temin has dubbed this sector “FTE”: finance, technology and electronics. In recent years, metropolitan areas identified with FTE have prospered and expanded outward. Some of the FTE areas, like Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle, are former centers of goods production that have managed to reinvent themselves; others, like Austin and Northern Virginia, are places where the economy was long rooted in government and education. In all of these areas, the older distinction between the city, where production takes place, and the suburbs, where the white-collar workers live, has broken down. Microsoft is a Seattle company, but it is located in a suburb. New Jersey’s pharmaceutical industry is suburban, and much of New Jersey itself is a contiguous suburban metro area.

Metropolitan areas that specialize in a new, knowledge-based economy have prospered and expanded outward. These areas often have one or more major universities. They host a high percentage of college-educated workers (frequently with advanced degrees), some of whom are highly skilled immigrants. They also include a sizable class of service workers, who are often immigrants and who clean the buildings, mow the lawns, make the beds, drive the taxis and take care of the children of two-earner families. Some of these areas, like Chicago and Los Angeles, include older, low-income, mostly African American inner-city neighborhoods; but African Americans have also increasingly moved into middle-class suburbs like those of Prince George’s County outside Washington, D.C. In fact, from 2010 to 2014, the African American population in the suburbs of the 20 largest metro areas grew by 7.1 percent, while the urban population grew by a bare 0.1 percent.

The regions built around FTE are almost always geographically distinct from the old industrial areas and from areas dominated by agriculture or resource extraction. The separation of the regions has proved to be self-reinforcing, as new high-tech firms seek to be near other high-tech firms and in areas where there are major universities and a high percentage of college-educated workers. In “The New Geography of Jobs,” economist Enrico Moretti has described this process as “geographical agglomeration.”

If you want to see geographical agglomeration in action, look no further than the now-concluded battle over where Amazon.com would locate its next headquarters. The finalists included FTE locations like Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston and Denver; the winners--New York and the D.C. metro area--are two of the most FTE-friendly places in the country.

These geographically separate economies have produced very different ways of living--and, crucially, very different personal identities. Identity--the result of imagining ourselves as part of a larger group or cause--invariably plays an essential role in all of our lives.

Many Americans (primarily but not all white) who once lived comfortably in older Midwestern and Southern towns have had important parts of their identity stripped away by the transformation of the U.S. economy. Many of them once enjoyed lifetime employment from the same company and could identify with that company--whether it was General Motors or Sears. They also may have enjoyed the protection and solidarity of belonging to a union. They lived in neighborhoods and frequented the same bars, restaurants, churches and bowling alleys. They and their friends had gone to the same high schools and followed the same local teams. They owned their homes and protected them by owning guns. Many of the men had served in the armed forces and belonged to veterans’ groups.

Move ahead to now: The company has left. The union is gone. The neighborhood is gone. Many of the working-class whites, like the Trump supporters in Ohio I interviewed for my last book, have moved to nearby suburbs, where the main public square is the shopping mall. As identities made possible by the old jobs and the old economy have faded, other identities--ones often associated with hard-line conservative politics--have both endured and filled the void: strong identification with the traditional family, with the home (for which these voters see gun ownership as an essential means of protection), with church and religion, with the flag and the nation. Interwoven among these identities are ones that are fundamentally rooted in resentment: toward undocumented immigrants whom they believe their taxes subsidize; toward both legal and undocumented immigrants who they see as upending the mores and language of their hometowns; toward those minorities who, in their minds, benefit unfairly from affirmative action; and toward distant elites in the cities who project disdain for them and their way of life.

These Americans formed much of the political base for the religious right of the 1980s and ‘90s, the gun rights movement, the anti-immigrant movement and the tea party movement. They now provide the most fervent backing for Trump’s presidency. His electoral college majority in 2016 was based on their support in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, together with more traditional Republican support from small and big business and from states like North Dakota and Oklahoma, which are dominated by agriculture and resource extraction.

In the FTE areas, the situation could not be more different. Whereas the people who still live in industrial America have had many of their identities stripped away by the decimation of the old economy, the residents of new metropolitan centers suffer if anything from a surfeit of fluid identities. They celebrate Thanksgiving and would defend the United States if it were attacked, but Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again,” has little meaning for them. They don’t look back upon a golden age of GM and Sears and the neighborhood pub. They identify as family members or parents, but their conception of family has been significantly broadened by the feminist and sexual revolutions that began in the 1960s.

They may have fond memories of the places where they grew up, but many take more pride in the university they attended. (When I first came to Washington in 1982, I used to amuse myself by privately speculating how long it would take for a downtown hotshot to tell me what university--invariably Ivy League--he had graduated from.) They often belong to professional associations. They derive their identities in part from the products they produce--software, articles, movies--and from the prestigious firms where they work. They are more likely to be part of experimental families, more likely to be gay or have gay friends, more likely to agitate for LGBTQIA rights. They don’t think of themselves as tied to one city. They save their money to travel. They identify as Americans, but also as cosmopolitans. They recoil at Trump calling himself a “nationalist.” They see his supporters as ill-educated bigots, and they see themselves as part of a new global network linked by the Internet.

True, these are sweeping characterizations, and not everyone who lives in FTE areas adheres to them. For one thing, not everyone writes code for a start-up or has graduated from college; invariably, these areas have sizable low- or mid-wage service industries. Yet it is reasonable to assume that those FTE residents who work in service are not immune to the broader values and outlook of the economy that surrounds them. As I told my daughter when she moved to the Bay Area a decade ago, people there won’t want to know what job you have; they’ll want to know what you are “into.” The barista may also be an aspiring actor; the Uber driver (as one in Houston informed me) makes rap videos; the landscaper may have built (as ours did) a political website.

The Democrats’ electoral college majorities in the Barack Obama years and their popular majority in 2016 were powered, in part, by the multiethnic and multiracial members of this urban-suburban FTE economy and culture. Their growing ranks offered a powerful (and overlapping) supplement to the ranks of minority voters who--even when they do not live in FTE areas--have long placed, and continue to place, their faith in the Democrats as the party of civil rights, and of government assistance for those in need.

This electoral coalition is, of course, far from stable, but it persists and grows because of common opposition to what the Trump coalition stands for. And like the Republican coalition, it is at least partly explained by the kinds of jobs that exist in the places where many of these voters live.

As the metropolitan areas grow and expand at the expense of older industrial towns and rural areas, they will--barring gerrymandering--make it easier for Democrats to maintain the House and also to win popular majorities in presidential elections. At the same time, Republicans may be able to maintain control of the Senate, where a relatively unpopulated state with no large new-economy metropolitan area can send the same number of representatives to Capitol Hill as California or Virginia. In this election, Democrats easily carried the House but lost Senate seats in Missouri, North Dakota and Indiana, three states that have few, or any, FTE metro areas. In other words, a split Congress--with all the gridlock that suggests--may become the norm in American politics.

The divisions between the two economies also make more likely the prospect of the electoral college--which tilts in favor of less populated states that are not dominated by metropolitan areas--failing to reflect the will of a majority of voters. That, in turn, may raise questions about the legitimacy of our presidential elections. Results like 2000 and 2016, when Republicans lost the popular vote but won the presidency, could become increasingly common.

Perhaps the most troubling--and thorny--upshot of these changes is that they have given rise to the latest culture wars, which in turn serve to distract us from addressing the economic issues that have caused so many of our divisions in the first place. Trump, to his credit, seems to have geared his trade policy toward reviving manufacturing in the forgotten regions of middle America. But whatever benefit Americans may get from Trump’s trade policies--and it’s still not clear there will be any--is certain to be outweighed by his never-ending attempts to inflame cultural divisions by inciting nativist fears and racial hatred.

It’s hard to imagine America finally confronting the differences in prosperity and prospects between red and blue areas as long as Trump and his tweets occupy center stage, transfixing Democrats and Republicans alike. Yet for the sake of America’s future, we are going to have to find a way to talk honestly about the massive divide caused by the two economies--and somehow, start working to bridge it.

When does 2021-22 NHL season start? Key dates, divisions and more on upcoming season

In the blink of an eye, the NHL is back in action.  The 2021 season ended July 7 when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup; now, the 2021-22 season is just around the corner. As the preseason kicks into high gear and teams shake off the rust, all the key dates are starting to form. While the last two seasons were anything but normal, this season is shaping up to be not normal as well with an Olympic break in the middle of it. Here's a breakdown of everything we know regarding the NHL's upcoming season.

When does the 2021-22 NHL season start?

- NHL season start date: Tuesday, Oct. 12 - NHL season end date: Friday, April 29, 2022Ninety-seven after the Lightning hoisted the Stanley Cup for the second straight year, the NHL will return to action Oct. 12 with two games. The opening act showcases the champion Bolts raising their banner and taking on the Penguins, while the headliner has the NHL's two newest franchises — the Golden Knights and the Kraken in their first regular-season game — meeting in Sin City. 2021-22 NHL RFAs: Tkachuk, Pettersson, Hughes remain unsigned

How many games will be played?

After two seasons that were cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021-22 season is set to be (fingers crossed) a full 82-game slate.

How will games work in 2021-22?

Last season included a few new wrinkles to the schedule, such as limited opponents and baseball-like series. Those are officially scratched, as are division-only slates. Back on the schedule for 2021-22 are cross-country treks and West Coast or East Coast swings. Players will be suiting up against each of the other 31 teams over the course of the next seven months; that's great news for fans who missed out on seeing Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and other NHL stars in person last season.MORE: NHL training camp opens with players and coaches 'excited' for normalcy

What are the divisions?

Welcome back to the old divisions. Gone are the North (aka Canadian), West and East. The Central was, and is, still around, but with a return to the usual teams. Also making a grand return are the conferences: Eastern and Western.There is one slight change from the 2019-20 season: the Coyotes have moved from the Central to the Pacific to make room for the Kraken, who join the Pacific.Atlantic Metropolitan Central Pacific Boston Bruins Carolina Hurricanes Arizona Coyotes Anaheim Ducks Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Chicago Blackhawks Calgary Flames Detroit Red Wings New Jersey Devils Colorado Avalanche Edmonton Oilers Florida Panthers New York Islanders Dallas Stars Los Angeles Kings Montreal Canadiens New York Rangers Minnesota Wild San Jose Sharks Ottawa Senators Philadelphia Flyers Nashville Predators Seattle Kraken Tampa Bay Lightning Pittsburgh Penguins St. Louis Blues Vancouver Canucks Toronto Maple Leafs Washington Capitals Winnipeg Jets Vegas Golden Knights 'ALL OR NOTHING: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS': Five things we've learned about 2021

Will there be a Winter Classic? An All-Star Game?

Yes! Both the Winter Classic and the NHL All-Star Game are back for 2021-22.Winter Classic- Date: Jan. 1, 2022 - Location: Target Field, Minneapolis - Teams: Blues vs. Wild - Date: Feb. 5 - Location: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas - Olympic break: Feb. 5-22, 2022 - March 21 (3 p.m. ET) - Begin: May 2 - Last possible day of final: June 30 - First buyout period: July 1-12 (5 p.m. ET) - Free agency begins: July 13 (noon ET) - First round: July 7 - Rounds 2-7: July 8The 2022 NHL Entry Draft will be held in Montreal.

News 388:"Song mã" Lakers - Jazz ganh đua

Cùng điểm qua những trận đấu NBA sẽ diễn ra vào ngày 2/6.

Thất bại của Los Angeles Clippers trước Brooklyn Nets ở loạt trận vừa qua sẽ tạo điều kiện để hai đội bóng dẫn đầu miền Tây, Utah Jazz cùng Los Angeles Lakers giành chiến thắng và tạo khoảng cách với đoàn quân HLV Tyronn Lue. 

Với Donovan Mitchell cùng các đồng đội, sau thất bại phải nhận trước chính Clippers ở lần ra sân gần nhất, họ sẽ có cơ hội tìm lại niềm vui khi đón tiếp Charlotte Hornets tại Vivint Smart Home Arena. Trong khi đó, về phía Lakers, họ sẽ có cuộc đụng độ Washington Wizards ở Staples Center. 

Trước bối cảnh cả hai tay ghi điểm trụ cột, Anthony Davis cùng Dennis Schroder đều không thể ra sân, Lebron James sẽ phải cố gắng rất nhiều nếu muốn thúc đẩy toàn đội vượt qua "Binh đoàn Phù thuỷ", đặc biệt khi những tay ném của đại diện Thủ đô như Bradley Beal hay Russell Westbrook đều đang có phong độ cao. 

Ở các trận đấu còn lại, Houston Rockets sẽ chạm trán Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks so tài với Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder đụng độ Miami Heat trong khi Phoenix Suns có màn thư hùng đáng chờ đợi gặp Portland Trail Blazers.

Tận dụng cơ hội các địch thủ cạnh tranh đều vấp ngã, Utah Jazz đã củng cố thêm ngôi vị dẫn đầu miền Tây của mình bằng chiến thắng 132-110 trước Charlotte Hornets. Mặc dù Gordon Hayward (21 điểm), LaMelo Ball (21 điểm, 7 rebounds, 4 kiến tạo) hay Malik Monk (20 điểm, 6 rebounds) bên phía "Bầy Ong" đã chơi đầy cố gắng nhưng chừng đó là chưa đủ để giúp đại diện bang North Carolina vượt qua những Donovan Mitchell (23 điểm, 8 kiến tạo), Joe Ingles (21 điểm, 5 rebounds, 6 kiến tạo), George Niang (21 điểm) hay Jordan Clarkson (20 điểm) bên kia chiến tuyến. 

Trận đấu đáng chú ý nhất trong ngày thi đấu 14/4 phải kể đến màn so tài giữa những nhà đương kim vô địch Los Angeles Lakers với Washington Wizards tại Staples Center. Dù được đánh giá cao hơn đối thủ và đang góp mặt trong cuộc chiến tranh ngôi đầu bảng xếp hạng miền Tây thế nhưng chung cuộc, đại diện bang California đã phải nhận thất bại 124-127 trước "Binh đoàn Phù thuỷ".

College football predictions for 2021 bowl games, Playoff semifinals, national championship

Bowl Season returns in 2021-22 with a schedule that includes 43 bowl games between FBS teams.

While College Football Playoff expansion might be in the works, this year marks the eighth season of the four-team playoff. This year’s College Football Playoff championship game is Jan. 10 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The year’s semifinals are Dec. 31 at the Capital One Orange Bowl and Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

Sporting News’ Playoff picks are more of the same. Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma have combined for 20 of the 28 total playoff appearances. Yet those four schools have yet to all make the Playoff in the same season. 

SN has projections for all 43 bowl games here, and they will be updated throughout the season:

New Year’s Day Six picks

Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M

The Aggies and Irish get to settle last year’s playoff a year too late on a smaller stage. Both teams have quarterback battles worth watching in fall camp, but we’d more interested in the running backs in this one. Isaiah Spiller and Kyren Williams are both dark-horse Heisman candidates. This will be a fun table-setter for the rest of the New Year’s Day Six.

PlayStation First Bowl: Coastal Carolina vs. North Carolina

The Chanticleers are our Group of 5 selection, and some of that is based on Cincinnati’s tough nonconference schedule against Indiana and Notre Dame. The Sun Belt gets their due, and Grayson McCall gets matched up across North Carolina’s Sam Howell, who leads the Tar Heels to their second straight NY6 bowl appearance under Mack Brown. 

Rose Bowl Game: USC vs. Wisconsin

USC and Wisconsin met in the Rose Bowl in 1953 and 1963, and this matches up the Pac-12 champion against the Big Ten runner-up. Kedon Slovis and Graham Mertz make it an intriguing matchup, but with these teams is comes down to who can the ball. It will be nice to have the Tournament of Roses Parade back, too. 

Allstate Sugar Bowl: Iowa State vs. Georgia

The Bulldogs are forced to settle for a fourth straight New Year’s Day Six Bowl appearance unless JT Daniels can lead a Playoff run. Will that turn up any pressure on Kirby Smart? The Cyclones, meanwhile, are in an all-in year given the number of players who returned from last year’s Fiesta Bowl winner. Given the hype around both teams, this would feel a bit like a consolation game.

College Football Playoff picks 

Capital One Orange Bowl: Ohio State vs. Alabama

Didn’t we just watch this game? Both programs sent 10 players to the 2021 NFL Draft, but there is more than enough talent on both sides for a third CFP playoff matchup. The Buckeyes are loaded at receiver, and Alabama should be better on defense. What will Ryan Day do differently after last year’s CFP championship game loss?

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: Oklahoma vs. Clemson

This would be the more entertaining matchup given it features two of the top three quarterbacks in SN’s Top 25 QB rankings. Clemson’s D.J. Uiagalelei and Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler would put on an offensive show in this one. Which program faces more pressure? The Sooners are 0-4 in CFP semifinals, and the Tigers have been routed in their last two appearances.

CFP championship pick 

CFP championship game: Alabama vs. Clemson 

More of the same. Until the CFP expands to 12 teams, this matchup will continue to pop up given the talent level assembled on both sides. The Crimson Tide and Tigers have split four playoff matchups the last seven years, and this time both schools travel north to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. We had Ohio State vs. Clemson in last year’s championship game.
