Broncos WR Brandon Marshall Will Not Play vs. Chiefs

PrintDespite multiple reports that Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall was expected to be available, head coach Josh McDaniels ruled his star receiver out for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
This is certainly disheartening news for Broncos fans but for fans of the red and gold, it's outstanding news. Just how big? Check out Marshall's last five games against the Chiefs:
| Rec. | Yards | TD |
| 6 | 85 | 0 |
| 10 | 115 | 2 |
| 7 | 77 | 1 |
| 11 | 91 | 2 |
| 7 | 94 | 1 |
Pretty staggering numbers.
The Broncos have quite a few scenarios to get into the playoffs and all but one of them require a victory against the Chiefs.
Update 12:35 PM: Mike Klis of the Denver Post writes that McDaniels says this is an accountability issue, not just an injury issue. "Coach’s decision. McDaniels indicated Marshall doesn’t want to play with slight hamstring pull." Frank Schwartz of the Colorado Springs-Gazette says Marshall is "hurt" and McDaniels indicated others are playing through injuries on Sunday, and Marshall is not. This is intriguing news for Chiefs fans because we want to see Marshall out of the AFC West as quickly as possible.

I say it's fair...
we didn’t have Bowe that last time we played.
Prediction: Tamba gets 10 sacks this year.
Comment from MHR

John….Klis at the DP is also reporting the Scheffler will be deactivated.

Guys the perfect storm is brewing it could be a good day for us Chief fans!
Tony Scheffler
Is to the Broncos as DJ is to the Chiefs. He’s been deactivated a lot this season and hasn’t been a big part of the offense, despite previously showing some talent.
Knock them out of playoffs
Then in the off season pick him up in F A . that would make all the Denver fans mad .

I like the way you think.
Predictions:
1) Fans will feel just scads better from mid-to-end of the 2010 season.
2) During the 2021 season, Ryan Succop will become the Chiefs’ all-time leading scorer with 1469 points.

Charles dosen't need the hole opened too long...
and if the Denver secondary plays too close to the line (which virtually every defense does against the Chiefs because Cassel can’t throw deep) he has the speed to take it to the house. I haven’t seen anyone catch him once he gets to the second level all year! He is becoming a bigger threat week to week. If he can stay healthy he will be something very special next year!
So you think you are so important that no one can replace you? Put your finger in a bucket of water and pull it out. Does it leave a hole? Nope, just some ripples that eventually calm themselves!

If 102 yards is contained, he would be "contained" for 1600+ yards over the course of a year! I would take that in any runningback!

Charles is the kind of guy that if he gets a hole it's going to the house...
or for at least a big play. athletes/backs like this make plays on their own quite a bit and any extra help they get just increases their ability to make huge impactful plays.

hey j-man
you think Marshall is out of Denver next season? I thought maybe he & McDaniels had patched things up, but not so sure after seeing this. I can’t see McDaniels wanting him back when he doesn’t want to play in the biggest game of the season.
Predictions:
Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010
Kansas City will win at least seven games in 2010
i think
marsh will be back he just did not want to do long term damage to his hammy that a underrated part of pain and its not the biggest game of the season did u know they are 5 diff ways den can get in with a loss to kc and if the NYJ BAIT wins its over anyway i wouild say go for the win but if det bets chi and u lose u woulid get sun =reggig white

Yep, you never know which KC D is going to show up.
Turnovers killed us last time. I am relatively sure that we won’t cough up the ball like that this time.
Marshall is good
He is a great reciever and if Denver is dumb enough to let him go then hopefully the chiefs are smart enough to pick him up ASAP
Mashall is another drama queen WR
I wouldn’t want him on my team causing drama on and off the field.
McDaniels is trying to make a point in a game with the playoffs on the line?
I don’t know what the thought is in Denver but I know most rookie coaches are given a year or two to get settled(exeption to prove the rule is Oakland). But if Denver loses this game and misses the playoffs with guys like Marshall and Sheffler in civies, just because their thick skulled rookie coach wants to prove a point, how do you not fire him?

Wait a dag gum minute
Was McDaniels the one that went 6-0 to start the season. was he the one that was so great. my head is spinning.

Not only are Marshall and Scheffler out...
But now Royal and Graham seem highly doubtful? Who else is going to play?
