The winds of Change have not only affected our political front but our sports front as well. The NBA and NHL are in full effect. College Football is winding down. The Men’s and Women’s College Basketball season is right round the corner and the MLB always has the “Hot Stove” burning.

So far, in the NFL, change has definitely had an impact on the season.Winners have turned to losers and losers can be forgotten. Teams who were once  dominant will probably be watching the playoffs at home instead of being on the field. The changes just don’t stop there.

Week 10 marks the beginning of the NFL’s flexible schedule. Thankfully, for us, this Sunday’s match-ups don't need any flexible changing. Secondly, the Thursday Night Games on the NFL Network kick off this week. 

With the Thursday Night Games, comes the Thursday Throwdown here on ALLHipHop. For the next six weeks, we’ll look at the Thursday Night match-ups individually as well as the Game of the Week Poll and other fun stuff. So without further ado, let’s get into the games.

Get Interactive:

Many of us don’t have the Dish Network, so we won’t be able to see the Thursday Night on the television. Nevertheless, thanks to modern technology, you can see the game on your computer. Just click here and you can follow the game as if it was on television. In addition, we’ve set up a live chat room for not only tonight’s game in the Cheap Seats, but for the remainder of the season. The AHH NFL and CFB Live Chat is up and running and you can stop in and chat about tonight’s game or any other game this season, next season, or any season. Let the live chat begin.

ALLHipHop’s NFL Game of the Week for Week 11

Thursday, 11/06/08, 8:15pm, NFL Network

Denver Broncos (4-4) at Cleveland Browns (3-5) 

Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, OH

My Pick: Broncos

This week, a change took place.  A fresh face came to the center of our attention. Oh, you thought I was talking about President Elect Barack Obama. Nah, we already know the importance of his change, I’m talking about Brady Quinn.

That’s right, the Cleveland Browns made a switch-a-roo this week and decided to bench QB Derek Anderson and start Brady Quinn. Now, I would agree if the move was needed because of poor play on Anderson’s behalf. However, you can’t place all of the blame on Anderson.

The Browns are ranked 28^th in total offense. They’re ranked 29^th in receiving, that’s due to all of the dropped passes, and 28^th in rushing, that’s due to a crappy O-line. Their defense is ranked 24^th overall in the league and 28^th against the rush. Oddly enough, the Browns are ranked 13^th against the pass.

Therefore, I don’t think a QB switch is the answer. There are more holes in that team besides the QB position that need fixing.

The Broncos are having an identity crisis. One paper, they look like contenders, but on the field, the Broncos have lost three of their last four games. The Broncos have the fourth best passing offense the 18^th best rushing offense in the league. Although their offense is ranked third in the NFL, their defense is ranked 29^th overall. The Broncos are 27^th against the pass and 25^th against the run.

In their defense, the Broncos have taken some big hits for an injury standpoint on defense, so it’s somewhat understandable why they have underachieved on the defensive side of the ball. 

Although the Broncos are going through some issues on the defensive side of the ball, they’re still a better team than the Browns. There’s no stability at the QB position for the Browns now, and the defense has been terrible as of late despite a big win against the Jacksonville Jaguars from two weeks ago.

Despite all of the issues the Broncos are going through, I believe that the Broncos will come into the Dawg Pound tonight and remind Browns’ fans that even without John Elway, they can still “Drive” their way to victory.

Teams with Bye weeks: Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, Cincinnati Bengals
