Denver Broncos

 

Again, it has been too long since I posted anything on here, but honestly, what needs to be said?  Denver is 5-0! They had a close game with the Bengals that resulted in Brandon Stokley catching a tip ball and taking it 87 yards for a touchdown.  Critics said we were no different from last year in our miracle wins.  That game was compared to the "bad call" against San Diego last year or the missed field goal against New Orleans.  Next came Cleveland.  We were actually underdogs.  Denver defense sent a message that game.  Then came Oakland.  Another message was sent.  Critics again said those were the games the broncos were supposed to win, even though  they were underdogs in two of them.  So the talk of, "oh they haven't played anybody" surfaced.  Well two games later and we beat a top NFC Dallas team and one of the best, the New England Patriots.

Wow! It has been a while since I have posted anything on here.  It almost seems there is too much to say. Quarterback worries, our number one draft pick worries and Brandon Marshall worries.  Where do I even begin?  Well, my last post was about how I believe Kyle Orton will do just fine leading this team to the superbowl!! Maybe I am getting a little ahead of myself.  I believe he will do just fine leading us to the playoffs, at the very least a winning record.  There! Is that a little more rational? According to McDaniels he is looking good and feeling good. What more can we ask for at this point?

 Ok Mr Brandon Marshall, after leading the NFL in RYAC (receiving yards after contact) in 2007, complimented by your 6' 4" 230lb frame, the nickname of, "The Beast" was aptly and well deserved. After back-to-back seasons (2007-2008) with 100 plus catches and 1,000 plus yds, your physical talent was needless to say, without question and one of the best as a receiver in the NFL. Now, had this been the main body of work to your story to date here in Denver, this is one fan whom would be firmly entrenched in your korner so to speak..but, in the infamous words of Paul Harvey, "now..for the rest of the story"..

Tell me this isn’t happening again.  Another soap opera at Broncos headquarters.  Once again a key player is at the center of it, a player who has loads of talent.  Heck, this player can certainly be described as a very unique talent.  The player in question is unhappy, and has reportedly demanded a trade.  Sound familiar?  This did not work out as the Broncos hoped with Jay Cutler.  How will it work with Brandon Marshall?  Unfortunately, the Broncos might be about to find out.  Mr. Marshall did not show for the team’s mandatory minicamp over the weekend.

As OTA's and minicamps progress while training camp begin to roll over the horizon, America's favorite sport nears its regular season.  While nobody knows how well teams will do in a season with the randomness of injuries and several other factors, it's always interesting to look ahead at the schedule and prognosticate.  Unlike most people, I'm not going to give just a win or loss for each game, rather I'm going to predict how many times the Steelers would win if they played a team 10 times.  For instance if the Steelers were playing a very crappy team, I would say 9/10 or 10/10.  At the end i will add up the wins and divide by 10, giving us how many wins they will have this season.

I waited a few days after the NFL draft to post my thoughts on how the Broncos did because I needed time to digest their selections and determine whether or not I truly liked the moves the team made.  The truth is, like with every draft, it will be a minimum two seasons and probably three before we can really assign a grade to this or any team’s draft, so any opinion expressed now is really a shot in the dark.  For example, it looks like the Broncos’ draft of 2008 is good for the time being, as Ryan Clady and Eddie Royal both had outstanding rookie seasons.  We still need to wait another year or two however before we can truly evaluate that draft as a whole.  That said, I have a few thoughts on the Broncos’ selections from last weekend:

It says something about the popularity of the NFL that the release of the schedule is now a two hour prime time event.  I somehow feel less stupid knowing I can’t possibly be the only one who eagerly anticipates the release of the schedule.  If nothing else, it’s nice to know what it is so I can plan around it.  For instance, I know that the Broncos will be playing on Thanksgiving night, so my family will know they shouldn’t plan to see me, things like that.   At any rate, my initial thoughts on the  Broncos’ 2009 slate:

 I will be the first to admit that this whole Cutler trade situation got under my skin a bit. I was mad at McDaniels, I was mad at Cutler, and I was mad at Bowlen.  Now that it is over and I have faced the reality that Cutler is not coming back, I have had a chance to think rationally.  Kyle Orton is the guy, for now, and that's okay with me.  He can manage a game, and that's what we need in order for our team to get better. I will explain.

Just remember that things are not always as they seem, and the 2009 Denver Broncos are not as doomed as you think they are.

The deal is done.  Jay Cutler is now a Chicago Bear, traded for two first round picks, a third round pick and Kyle Orton.  While a large part of me is still disappointed that the Broncos are trading away a 25 year old franchise quarterback with a rocket arm, the other, increasingly larger part is surprisingly ecstatic with the haul the Broncos have gotten in return for Cutler.  The two first round picks alone are a hefty price to pay, but throwing in a third, and an established starting QB (albeit one who is not a Pro Bowler and one who does not have the raw talent of Cutler) means the Broncos might have actually gotten away with highway robbery.  Consider that the Chiefs only surrendered a second round choice for Matt Cassel (and got Mike Vrabel in the deal as well) and it really seems the Broncos might have made out like bandits here.

To those out there who have turned on Jay Cutler, I ask you to consider you're reasoning. He's too proud, he's not mature enough, he's like a spoiled kid. Jay Cutler is 25, going into his third real season leading the Broncos and his first two were pretty damn good considering he took over his rookie season. To judge him so harshly or characteristics that we all have within us is wrong. Think about the football side of it.

So apparently Josh McDaniels and Jay Cutler finally met face to face this weekend.  They did not follow my advice of having the meeting be just the two of them, but rather were joined by Cutler’s agent Bus Cook and general manager Brian Xanders.  As usual we have  two different interpretations of how the meeting went down.  Now, I have not trusted Chris Mortensen as of late because of his tendency to jump the gun (especially when he was convinced Mike Shanahan was going to Kansas City when everyone knew that would never happen), but in this case it seems he tracked down both Cutler and McDaniels, so we are able to draw our own conclusions without need for his analysis.

  Play your butt off and help the Broncos win football games.  Be the leader the Denver Broncos need you to be.  Take charge in the huddle.  Instead of expressing your frustration and your hurt feelings in your current manner, channel it into your performance in workouts and on the field.  Frankly your current behavior is not that of a team leader.  You think you have a stronger arm than John Elway?  Prove it.  You want to win? Go out there and get it done.  The Broncos need you.  You really don’t want to be labeled as another athlete who held out and ruined his career.  Besides think about it: do you really want to wake up and realize you’re a Detroit Lion?  I can assure you that their left tackle is not near as good as Ryan Clady, and I guarantee you would find yourself wishing you were back in Denver with McDaniels.

The Denver Broncos have certainly been active this offseason, there’s no question about that.  The question is: are they a better team?  I think in many ways they could be, but being active isn’t always the best move.  The truth is we won’t know for sure until the first game kicks off in September what kind of impact all these moves will have.  Still, you can’t say that new coach Josh McDaniels isn’t putting his stamp on things.  Here are some of my thoughts on the Broncos’ offseason so far.

, but how can you be loyal to a coach when if he is on the opposite side of the field than the Denver Broncos?  It's one thing to respect the man but  to root for him when the Broncos face him is just plain crazy, and if he goes somewhere in the division than I will hope he loses the majority of his games.  Now if we clinch the division early, than sure, I will hope he can put a few victories together.

The Denver Broncos gave the San Diego Chargers the greatest gift a team could ask for. A playoff spot.  It has been well documented in the last few weeks about the Broncos three-game lead and their failure to win at least one of them to lock up the division and get in to the playoffs.  The Chargers were virtually playing for pride when they set out after notching a record of 4-8.  They kept winning and the Broncos kept losing.  The AFC west title was neatly gift wrapped for the bolts.  How did San Diego thank them?  By beating the red-hot Indianapolis Colts led by league MVP  Peyton Manning.  Now all of the sudden this 8-8 football has a chance to get into the AFC championship.  Are you kidding?  A 500 record team has a ligitemate shot to win the Superbowl!  What a gift indeed by the Broncs.

                        An era has ended in Denver.  The firing of Head Coach Mike Shannahan took many by surprise, but some  saw this one coming.  Could it have been the lack of post-season play for the past three years?  Possibly, but most  think the last straw was giving up a three-game division lead with three games left that finally ended Shannan's blue and orange days.  Say what you will about the man, but what he did for Denver was amazing.  Other than Mr. Elway, his name is probably going to be the most mentioned name in Bronco history.

The Denver Broncos took it to the Jets in this one. You want to talk about a crazy season, Broncos are the perfect example. Numerous injuries to running backs + they have home losses to Oakland and a road loss to the Chiefs, but they have won away at Atlanta and now the Jets. Makes it pretty head scratching to figure out what Broncos team will show up each Sunday this season. Jay Cutler had 357 yards in the game for two touchdowns. Jets with the loss still lead the AFC East. New England and Buffalo both lost as well. Miami being the only AFC East team winning with their win over the Rams.

People seem to like the New York Jets to beat the Denver Broncos with ease.  I suppose this is a bit of an obvious bet, which is usually a good reason not to bet it.   

The Broncos defense is so bad it cannot be counted on to force a single punt all day.  They just got done losing to the Oakland Raiders in Denver, so that certainly does its part in creating a bad image for the Broncos.

Winners - New York Giants

3) Denver Broncos @ New York Jets

I honestly didn't think the Jets could beat the Patriots and at the time undefeated Titans...back to back. But they proved me wrong. Brett Favre is playing great and the Broncos are 25th in pass defense this season. This has the makings of a 'light-em-up' type of game. Running back Leon Washington has also played good ball for the Jets during the winning streak. Broncos are 27th in run defense. What I'm trying to say is...the Jets could and should have a field day with the Broncos defense. Jets with a win could push their record to an impressive 9-3 in the AFC East division possibly giving them more cushion if the Patriots lose to the Steelers. I'll take the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets in this game.

Hello East Fans,

Well after a week of Hiatus to curse the football gods for my team’s embarrassing losses. I felt a preview of the Best division in Football was the only way to quench the thirst. Every team in the division except for Washington is on the road, let’s start with the leaders of the pack.

May 1, 2008, your Broncos QB Jay Cutler announced that he was diagnosed with diabetes, and nervous Denver football fans held their collective breath. “Ain’t that the sugar disease?” many of the less educated fans would ask fellow concerned citizens. But the more serious question on everyone’s mind was, “How will this affect his play?”

Chiefs after coming off a big upset win over the Denver Broncos failed to get anything consistent going all game. Larry Johnson was held to a dismal beyond dismal (did I say dismal?) 2 yards rushing. If your lead back has 2 yards rushing, you're not winning. Unless your back up picks up the slack.

So after 5 weeks and a few good opponents, the Broncos are looking solid. This past Sunday when they showed the Buccaneers that there defense is getting better in all areas, especially getting after the passer. If you didn't see the game I'm sure you saw Champ Baileys hit on Brian Griese on Sports Center that took him out of the game. Before that though, Denver was putting constant pressure on the quarterback while still maintaining down field integrity. People have said a lot about Denver's D-Line and how it is struggling, what I tell them is that we have a lot of young talent on that line in LE Tim Crowder, DT Marcus Thomas, RE Elvis Dumervil, & RE Jarvis Moss. As these talented Defensive Linemen continue to progress, the Broncos D-Line will be very strong and very talented.

Well here we are, week four of the third year with his last team. This will be his last team, I truly believe that.

The continuous onslaught of reporters and fans condemning my name and wanting my head on a stick would be too much for me to bare.
