Mornin folks!
Our D rises to the occasion and makes life miserable for the Skins!
A proud prognostication of 10-6 in 2009!!! (April 2009 prediction)
Revised to 12-4 due to reality!

broncos collapse?
Keyshawn is going to tell us why the broncos are not in the same league as the other division leaders later in the show. I guess we need an “expert” to tell us that it is the Oline play? or maybe he will attack Orton?

Oh lordy, Ocho said he is gonna celebrate in a way that gets him fined today.
That is IF he gets into the endzone today against the steelers.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
I hope McDaniels opens up the trust with Orton in this game and let him do his thing.
Especially if we get a 3 score lead. We need to try different plays that haven’t been played (sweeps, long ball and Hillis). I can understand the mistrust our head coach must have for our quarterback, but please, it’s time to go for it and let these boys play. Let’s have a great game. Go Broncos!
I agree bfree, I'd like to see Orton go deep 6 or seven times this game and make a believer out of me..

Probably. lol.
In all actuality, I think that McD is just giving him a break because of what happened last week. Maybe Hillis is having trouble getting his head in the game after he had those personal issues last week. I think he’ll be fine in a week or two and plus, he has fresh legs. That could be huge in a big game.

Need his hands catching the ball
Moreno has proven sub standard on catching the ball so far. We need a back that blocks and runs hard in short yardage; can catch the pass. Unfortunately, as he sits, he will become stale, and maybe never develop. Many players have never developed due to lack of opportunity.
by BroncoBilly on Nov 15, 2009 12:37 PM MST up reply actions
I was watching a few of the games yesterday
and noticed that Hillis was doing some fine blocking on special teams. The Royal kick return obviously had many key blocks, but to me it appeared Hillis’ block was the one that took it from 30 yards to all the way. He’s also been right there (either making the tackle or coming in right after) on most of the punts and kickoffs and appeared to get his penalty bug under control.
All in all, I hope to see him next week, he’s been doing well.
