one of his best calls ever!

“I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong about the Broncos.” He and Ryan Rusillo said they weren’t sure yet that we’re a “great team” (which I completely agree with right now), but Rusillo picked us as the team that impressed him the most.

MSM is finally starting to catch on. As for the Giants Patriots Colts Ravens Steelers and Chargers… only time will tell.

He better get a bucket so that he doesn’t have to vomit pieces of his kidneys into the toilet.

and floated this interesting little tidbit.

Now let’s do a mini-analysis of the biggest decision of the off-season, Denver dealing Cutler for two first-rounders and Kyle Orton. It reminds me of the Patriots dealing Drew Bledsoe in 2002 and handing the quarterback job long-term to Tom Brady. Bledsoe, the independent-thinking mad bomber; Brady, the caretaker who’ll follow the gameplan to a T. Just substitute Cutler for Bledsoe and Kyle Orton for Brady and you’ve got McDaniels’ line of thinking. Now, I’m not saying (and McDaniels wouldn’t either) that Orton’s going to morph into Brady, but the amount of negative plays at the quarterback position has been exactly what McDaniels has preached: zero interceptions, zero lost fumbles, six sacks. If Orton continues on his present pace — 3,624 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, 59 percent passing (that should be a tick better) — the Broncos will be playing in January.

True. We have a long way to go, but we’re moving in the right direction, one game at a time.

But thankfully the Broncos are now for real…but only because he said so. Thanks John, for giving the Broncos, their coach, and even the entire community of Denver legitimacy with your Almighty Word.

Why, do you think they’ll start putting Denver on maps again, now that John Clayton is impressed with us?

The FORCE is strong with this team.

but who do you cut? Moss? Lloyd? Gorin? and Maybe Barrett. Moss most likely

Might depend on if Larsen can play…

I’m pretty sure Eddie dropped that pass, also. At the same time, it’s only a difference of 12 yards and there’s still a first down gained on the 15-yard roughing penalty. I agree that it was worth challenging, but even if it got overturned the Broncos were in good shape.

On why we need to everything in our power to get Eric Berry. I see a lot of the same ability and leadership in that kid. If he doesn’t come out this year, we need him the following year, because Dawkins is starting a new tradition here, and let’s face it— he won’t be able to play like this for the duration of his contract.

That guys 36? I call BS. I need to see a birth certificate.

I really liked the story about Holliday. He was honest, got his answers, and I am glad he is onboard.

… none other that Jay Cutler… here is what he txt in (see he can txt when he wants to.. lol)

"Those guys are playing well. Defense is carrying them. It’s a good scheme. 3-4 is tough if u do it right"
– Text Sunday night from Cutler, appreciating his former team’s triumph over the Cowboys.

I hope it isn’t just me.. but he comes across as an extremely arrogant guy.. He manages to turn what started out as a compliment to a backhanded snarky comment about the offense to bring it back round to focusing on himself again and how amazing he is because he has an ‘understanding’ of the 3-4 D.

Not sure if I read a little bit to much into that be it did annoy me reading it.. lol.. and i was able to watch the bears game on sunday without to much bias or longing for the lions sack count to keep rising steadily..

At least Silver was big enough to admit he was wrong about a few things. Most sports writers just pretend they never said what they said and move on.

It actually tells me how important winning right off the bat was to this team to reinforce to trust McD as the man with the plan and replace any lingering doubts in the minds of the players with brimming confidence.

Kyle Orton’s record at home as a bronco: 2-0. Undefeated.

Yet you come away feeling like he still can play a lot better. He missed too many open guys yesterday, but his ability to avoid INTs is proving most helpful.

Yep. The rook is coming along. Fortunately I was able to laugh after he lined up at the wrong position, DJ was screaming at him to get in the right spot, Ayers just made it there in time for the snap, and Ayers proceeded to blow up the play. He is a keeper and is getting better every week.

Just like mom used to serve.

Bon appetit, Monsieur Clayton.

Jack N Coke.

The man has great taste in his afterhours drink of choice. He represents his people.

saying that and thought that was interesting too. I didn’t really know much about the specifics of the glove itself til then. Truthfully, some of Orton’s inaccuracy yesterday was sort of what i expected from him earlier in the season when he first started wearing the glove. The fact that he’s been so accurate overall with that thing on speaks volumes. It’s hard to know for sure but you do have to wonder if that strip being removed could have affected him some way.

All I know is he’ll be very happy, and a bit more accurate, when the glove comes off. Which I really hope happens next week.

Our short yardage game wasn’t THAT bad yesterday. It needs work, but the only time people notice the short yardage runs is when they don’t happen. If I recall correctly, on a 2nd or 3rd and 2, Knowshon took it 14 yards into Dallas territory and helped set up the field goal to tie the game up.

I agree, short yardage needs to be more efficient, but nothing is ever going to be 100% guaranteed automatic—-unless your Adam Viniateri 6 years ago.

The OLine is getting way too many penalties. As a result, we are not even getting into short yardage situations enough.

NE is legit and is a serious threat to hand us our first loss. Trap games are where you take a team lightly and they surprise you. If we lose to NE there is no surprise from me.

Denver looks past New England. They’re rolling, too, they are super popular, there’s the Hoodie vs Hoodie hype. The Broncos may lose it but it won’t be ‘cause it’s a trap game. Toughest game of the year for them imho.

I think this game will be our first championship level test. No-one can question the fact that McD is going to be fired up to win this game. The question is whether our team as a whole will be up to the test.

I think the Patriots have shown some weaknesses we can exploit. Add that to home field advantage and the Broncos have a good opportunity to win another one.

McDaniels will never let that happen especially with the Pats coming to town. There will be some good meetings between him an Nolan this week.

Josh must be really upset over this loss of friendship. I mean, how much this friendship must have meant to him? How dare he call the ignorant, ignorant! Dang Josh. Who do you think you are?

Turn off your radio or try a station that plays music. When I lived in CO, I liked the 93.1

Is he entirely a Radio Idiot? I personally think that Belichick and McDaniels are ahead of the curve in realizing that they don’t really need to give reporters access anymore. They’re becoming increasingly marginalized on their own, so the coaches may as well let them keep going down their current path. (Of course, I think I am ahead of the curve by writing analysis from an angle that actively doesn’t want to incorporate controlled, agenda-laden “insider” information, so take what I think for what it’s worth.)

According to Gil, McDaniels was out of line for suggesting that the people inside Dove Valley were more "educated" about the Broncos than those who spent the offseason and preseason pontificating about how awful the team was.

i love that comment by McD in his post-game presser. we’re 4-0 and the morons in the press are still questioning off-season moves. McD’s response was a bit snarky, but screw those “journalists.” they have their job to worry about and McD has his
