Congrats to Atlanta and Miami for the great turn-arounds

Moss has been a bit of a disappointment
by Future Bronco DC on Dec 28, 2008 5:32 PM MST reply actions
I guess it will be nice to actually see him and verify that he is real.
Some around here starting to think he is make believe.
and Niko was a bad pick-up. I wonder how much we owe him when we let him go next year?
The best defense is a good offense!
Good luck Broncos Nation
I wont be rooting for anyone in this game after what happened in 2005 when I got what I wished for by rooting for the Steelers. In the playoffs nothing is a given so Ill just wish you guys luck
nothing would make me happier than to see #18 in white next week at Invesco

????
Why did The Broncos sign A.Haynes and A. Pinnock and never put them on the field?
Tactics without Strategy is the noise you hear before Defeat!
I disagree, I think Moss has improved a lot. Bummed Pinnock not in. Means Larsen at FB and that knucklehead Nate Webster at MLB UNLESS....
DJ is moved back to MLB, WW at weak side and Winborn strongside…that would be OK!!!! But I thought Pinnock could be big for us.
Thanks Militia, as always for your class…hopefully we see you next week my friend!
DID YOU SEE MICHAEL BUSH’S GAME…HE WOULD LOOK GOOD IN A BRONCO UNIFORM!!!

Probably not gonna be around during the game
But I am cautiously optomistic about this game. I won’t be surprised or overly disappointed if Denver loses this game, but I have a good feeling about this one.
If Denver does loses, I will be curious to see the amount of talk in the national media about Denver’s “collapse” compared to Tampa’s (with their 4 game losing streak to end the season)
They are owed karma just for that in my book!

I am convinced they are only one person
Has anyone ever seen them at the same place at the same time?
ABF in Arabia!
in Dubai for the holidays, it’s almost 5 AM and i’m gonna watch the game via nbc.com! Go broncos, when they win the super bowl they should vacation here where its 70 degrees at night.

Remember some had K.C. and Oakland finishing ahead of us, with S.D. running away with the division. We need to hold our heads “milehigh” as Broncos fans. Now, Let’s GO BRONCOS!
no matter what happens this game
we have already proved we are better than the MSM said we were…besides people picking us as a long shot just to make the playoffs
ABF....we need your good thoughts my friend!

Why is it ?
that no one in the media is is mentioning eddie royal being a huge factor in this game? The chargers clearly could not stop him in the first meeting . right ?
the chargers only had to face eddie once what makes everyone so sure
that he is not going to have the explosive game we know he can have ?
by broncosfaninphilly on Dec 28, 2008 5:59 PM MST reply actions
No idea....but I had a feeling Crowder would go tonight...he could come out and be a difference maker.....kinda like a caged animal released!!!!
