Lot of football left to play still.

Good luck getting that info out of this team. Josh McDaniels has Dove Valley locked down like NORAD.

I agree there is still a ton of football left, just pointing out one of the reasons I think the NFL is so great, because just when you think its over...its not.

Josh is so Belichick like it's funny. Glad that Baby Bill is holding on to the tradition. LOL

Here's how I see this playing out:

11/26 NYG L 6-5
12/6 @KC W 7-5
12/13 @IND L 7-6
12/20 OAK W 8-6
12/27 @PHI W 9-6
1/3 KC W 10-6

Bolts:

11/29 KC W 8-3
12/6 @CLE W 9-3
12/13 @DAL L 9-4
12/20 CIN L 9-5
12/25 @TEN L 9-6
1/3 WAS W 10-6

So basically, we really need to try and win Thursday night against New York, or we may have to start thinking about an already crowded Wild Card (MIA, NYJ, PIT, BAL, JAX, HOU).

I think we can beat the Giants pending Orton's progress. They just came off a skid just as bad as ours and they aren't looking all that tough. Indy is the only game I'm not real confident about on that list, but even then I'd go 50/50 on that one.

Rumor is we might be looking at Jeff Garcia?
Anything would be better than Simms.

I really liked the way the Broncos ran the ball on their first possession. I think that Josh McDaniels is in love with the intricate passing game, which he can have success with, as he has proven in NE. However, if he focused some of his genius on innovating a new sort of running game the Broncos can come into their own. The way I see it, alot of the Broncos troubles are coming from time of possession right now.

You're joking, right?

Sorry for the Broncos losses... it's a bummer to win 6 straight, get all excited, then this.

My high school team lost a good game 21-28 to the 3 time state champs last Saturday, so... I'm sort of sick of football now. The Central Wildcats are 12-0 and headed to the Semifinals!

I don't know what's so wrong with the Broncos besides having an OLine that got it done and a Dline that dominated to what we have now. One thing that's worried me the most about these Broncos was the offense... or its inability to "challenge vertically."

I don't think they should play Orton at all... for at least a few weeks. He didn't just roll his ankle. It really got tweaked and you've got a weak ankle there that just is prone to more and more injuries now. He's not a scrambler anyway, but... he will get put into tough throwing situations now that our defense has reverted back to... not being able to stop the run or not being to make a stop on 3rd down, and now the inability to cause a turnover or to pressure the qb and get a sack.

Talk about a shift of momentum. Moreno is fumbling the ball 4 times now, 8 for the whole team.

I look at teams that can score about a touchdown each and every quarter. You do that, and you put yourself in a position to win each and every game and don't have to kill yourselves doing it.

Look at what's happened with the Tennessee Titans now. The Bolts have won 5 straight?

I'm getting really sick of watching these road teams come into Investco Field (that's right, I refuse to say Mile High Stadium until something changes) and mocking our team and our fans with that damn salute. There's a number of teams on my resentment list because of that; Bolts, Miami, Jacksonville,... Wasn't too happy hearing those Pittsburgh fans yelling and hollering after than Bronco win on national television.

The Broncos are ranked 12th now. Why? What phase of their game is better than 20 other teams? Offense, defense, special teams, coaching. They better reinvent themselves really quick.

I'll tell you one good thing about the Denver Broncos right now; those fans last Sunday. They were dead quiet... while the Broncos where getting methodically pounded. No boos... and people didn't leave until pretty late in the 4th quarter. They took their lumps.

I may try to watch some of the game on Thanksgiving, but I'm gonna have a plan b for sure. The Broncos are really putting my DVR to waste. I record a game like that and erase it as soon as I get the chance. First 6 games, different story.
