Welcome to the Week 5 Weariness list...  Enjoy the venting!

1.  I am tired of not being able to say "I Told You So!!!!" to the WORLD about Josh McDaniel's and Kyle Orton and Knowshon Moreno and Brandon Marshall and Brian Dawkins and Doom and DJ and Mike Nolan and .... so many more. 

I mean, I could say "I told you so" to everyone here at MHR... but hey... except for a few, I'd be preaching to the choir.  There was a reason that the "13-3 Baby" mantra was being passed around here, and it wasn't just because we were blind, irrational fans.  We actually had the ability to objectively look at the Broncos of the past... see an ill-prepared, me-first, pad the stats kind of team that was 8-8 and say "If we take care of some of the fundamental issues, this team could be good.... very good!"  And when we saw almost every weakness being addressed in a serious way, we knew that good things were right around the corner.  We were right... and the world was wrong.  I so want to rub it in.

But as wonderful as it is to have the MHR community, the reality is that our platform often gets dwarfed by ignorant journalists who have been given a "Gia-normous" platform to spout that ignorance, with little, if any, accountability.  Why do you think that the Denver Broncos are the "Surprise story of 2009?"  Because the so called "Experts"... who did very little research, and could only see through their "They don't have Cutler" glasses, said so.  I wish I had a few thousand dollars sitting around so I could take out a full page ad in the Denver Post that says very simply... "We Were Right About the Broncos, and You Guys Were WRONG!"... but of course, that would be childish.  (unless someone would like to donate a few thousand dollars to make it happen... then it would be sweet!)

2.  Which leads me to point #2.  I am tired of the endless drub of these "so-called Experts" now gushing apologies to Josh McDaniels and the Broncos.  Sometimes apologies don't mean anything, and this is one of those times.  When it looked like Josh McDaniels had made mistake after mistake, you "Experts" all called for his job.  Without even 1 game under his belt, you suggested that he might be the worst coach ever.  Well, now the tables are turned.  You have made mistake after mistake in this matter, and you have been proven wrong in a big way.  How about you live by the same standard you used with Josh McDaniels.  How about you start calling for yourself to be fired.  How about you admit to the world that you just might be the worst Journalist ever. 

As the best coach in the NFL said recently... "I'm not talking about "My Bad" anymore!"  and honestly, I couldn't have said it much better myself.  Enough with the apologies.  Learn from your mistakes and become a quality and reputable journalist that earns the ability to report.  If not, I hope you get canned.

3.  I am tired of stupid Power Rankings.  They are absolutely ridiculous.  To give any credence to these things is just plain dumb.  Question for you.  Why is Denver the lowest ranked un-defeated team in virtually every power ranking?  Because the media says that Denver should be bad.  Does it have anything to do with reality.  No.  It has absolutely nothing to do with the strength or quality of a team.  It has everything to do with public perception... or Expert Bias.  We should call them "Public Perception Rankings" or better yet, "Idiot Experts Best Guess Rankings" from now on.  It would be much more accurate.

4.  I know this is a repeat, but If I ever hear another comment about Orton's noodle arm, I am going to explode.  It was the mantra of every NFL expert all year long and guess what?  I am so sick and tired of it.  Hey you thousands of people who were screaming to draft Mark Sanchez this year because of his arm strength and KO's lack there of.  Anybody see last nights game?  Sanchez drops back to throw a Hail Mary,  releases from their 40, and got it to about the 10.  In Sundays game, KO has the same scenario, throws it from the 35 and gets it picked at the 3.  That is almost 15 yards longer.  So If you say "noodle arm" again, it will be understood that actually, you are referring to your "noodle brain".  Kyle Orton can make all the throws.

5.  I am tired of fan's that give up before the game is over.  Maybe it was just me, but it really irked me that many here in the game threads actually gave up on our team in the 4th quarter of the game.  I know that there were a few mis-cues that made it look as if the wheels were falling off, but C'mon man... don't quit fighting with your team.  Don't you want a team that fights hard for the entire 60 minutes of the game?  Don't you want a team that gives 100%, every play and every down, whether they are winning or loosing?  If you want that, then be that kind of fan.  Don't be one of those fans that only supports your team when all the chips are going their way.  Be the kind of fan, that fights hard even through the difficult times.  Our team taught us something this week.  Don't give up... and don't quit fighting.  It's not just the right way to be a fan... it's also the right way to live your life.

6.  I am slowly growing tired of not hearing anything about new contracts for Kyle Orton and Brandon Marshall.  Kyle is 5 games into this season, and so far, things couldn't be much better.  He is steadily becoming more and more comfortable with the offense and he obviously has the skill level to execute the game plan.  The longer we wait to give him a new contract, the more expensive it is going to be. Seems like it is time to roll there.

BMarsh is just simply revealing that he is a "One-Of-A-Kind" talent.  It really looks as if he is a man among boys out there.  I know that it is going to be expensive, but his talents are irreplaceable.  He creates match-up problems, which forces Defenses to have to choose how they are going to get beat.  Double up Marshall, and get killed by Royal, Gaff, Stokes, Sheffler, Graham... or... Man up Marshall and get eaten by the Beast.  

Some may still hang on to Marshall's past issues, but I really believe that those things are behind him.  I don't know if I have ever watched a more authentic and up-front interview than his interview with Michael Irvin this Sunday.  Honestly, I was proud of him.  He owned up to his own failures, and acknowledged his weaknesses, and has made some decisions to move himself into a better place (anybody see Rod Smith come and congratulate BMarsh after the game).  It is a must watch interview that will make you smile.

My humble opinion is that the longer we wait to sign these two guys... the more and more expensive they are going to be.  However, I also am putting my full confidence in Mr. B, Xanders and McD... they have made very, very few mistakes so far.

Here are a few things that I am not tired of...

1.  I am not tired at all of Fourth Quarter Kyle.  The guy is a machine so far this year in the second half, and almost without equal in the 4th Quarter.  He has a near-perfect QB rating in the final quarter, and already has 3 fourth quarter game winning drives under his belt this season.  For those who questioned his ability to take the team upon his shoulders and go "win the game", you should be very, very comforted.  This guy is a winner, and  I am replacing my old nickname for Kyle "the Glove" Orton and replacing it with "Fourth Quarter Kyle".  It just barely beat out by second favorite... Kyle "I'm Better than Cutler" Orton.

2.  I am not tired of watching Josh McDaniels go nuts after the game last week.  This guy might be a football genius like Big Bill, but at least he has some personality. He is genuine and unbridled at times, and that makes him an immediately like-able guy.  With BB, you never really know what is going on with him, but with Josh, he can't keep it inside.  When he ran over to his families side of the field, pointed up in the stands and started celebrating, I couldn't help but smile.  He deserved to celebrate that win with his family and the fans.  He has taken the worst criticism that a head coach could possibly take, and has stuck it to every one of them.  He deserved every bit of that emotion on Sunday.

3.  What followed was even more awesome, and I don't think I could ever get tired of watching the replay of the event.  When Josh went and jumped into the arms of Kenny Peterson, it was one of the coolest moments in football I have ever seen.  This game was certainly a big win for the team and players, but Kenny understood that it was a monumental win for his coach.  Here is a player that searched out his coach to congratulate and celebrate the win with him.  It was an awesome moment, and a moment that spoke volumes about Coach McDaniels and the players who play for him.  It is obvious that McDaniels loves his players... but maybe even more than that.... his players love him.

4.  I am definitely not tired of those vertical striped socks.  I might be the only guy in America that thought those uni's were cool, but I did.  And the thing that made them awesome were the socks.  I am so hoping for a pair of those for Christmas.

5.  I didn't think I could get tired of being 4-0... but I did.  Glad we are 5-0... and I will be tired of that come game time on Monday Night!  6-0, Here we come!

GO BRONCOS!!!!
