I predicted an 8-8 season… long ways to go but looks like we could get 10 wins

Your Monday editions alone should get you MHR Ring of Fame honors someday!

The toddler had me up extra early this morning, and it’s a crushing day at work. But somehow, I feel great.

thanx nyc. Lets stay under the radar…
Go Broncos

I cant wait until we beat the cowgirls next week

We did very well in the JV portion of the schedule. We crushed two horrible teams and got a key away win vs a decent Cincy team. Now we get a home game vs a Dallas team coming off a short week since the Cowboys play tonight.

It’s nice to see the Broncos brimming with confidence going into the real part of their schedule. The D looks great vs run and pass. Dawkins is the man. Champ was invisible yesterday (great thing when he is a DB) and Hill made a beautiful INT.

What really excites me is BM may have some serious competition for most gifted skill player on the Broncos. Not from Eddie Royal, but from Moreno. That dude has some set of skills for a rookie. I didn’t see this one coming. Hillis and Royal have been pretty much non factors in 2009, while Gaffney, Graham and Buckhalter are wreaking havoc on opposing Ds. That’s good because there is still a lot of offensive upside yet to be tapped.

The simple fact is: if you ranked the QB position of the 32 teams in the NFL, we just played two teams that rank in the 30s. We can’t expect giveaways like the one Goodman got vs real NFL QBs. We just played two of the most incompetent QBs I’ve ever witnessed. But we killed them both and when your team is winning by three TDs, there is a lot of margin for error before you lose a ballgame.

I loved seeing all the empty seats in Oakland, but I really loved hearing all 3,746 Raider fans boo their home team yesterday. I turned up the volume and booed with them. It just crushed the home team’s spirit and made my heart flutter. JaBust Russell is well on his way out the door in Oakland and the Raiders are headed to another Top 5 overall pick (which they’ll likely waste). Hey Bey Bey is worthless at WRs. Just worthless & I LOVE IT.

One play that I freaking loved yesterday was Buckhalter’s 34-yard run off LT. Ryan Harris pulled all the way from RT and stunned the LB with a massive block that opened the whole. Ryan Harris is a talented player.

At the same time, Eddie Royal ran a 60 yards straight down the field at full speed pretending to be the target of an imaginary bomb. The DB locked in on Eddie without even looking back to see Buckhalter just 10 yards behind him running full speed down the sideline. Very cerebral play by Eddie Royal! Why block the DB when you can simply run him away from the action.

… is starting to fit in as a Raider:

Asked by a Bay-area reporter if he made a mistake with his hair-pulling tactic, Seymour replied: “It was not a mistake, brother. Next question.”

13-3 Baby!
Next…..

Defense playing great and the special teams is making plays! You can see the improvement of the team week after week. Offense starting to gel, we just need consistency in the red-zone, for the next games we have to be better than 2-6 in the red-zone in order to win a few of those. Go Broncos!

While I think they are overrated, they do have the capability of actually testing our defense. Which is something I think we need before SD.

This should be a good test for us and help us prepare for the Chargers.

Some great stuff here! Nice way to start a Monday! Favorite tidbit from the Ramsey piece:

Denver is holding opponents to 5.3 points per game. When playing other defenses, the Bengals, Browns and Raiders average 18.3 points.

And I emailed him his own comments. It was just for my own amusement; many of the the haters seem to have gone back underground or quietly decided to pretend they never said anything.

A lot of other people could see what was going on with this team and that there really was something different – and they’re not letting us down.

Feeling good, will not apologize for the games Denver has won. Cincy is for real. There’s no such thing as luck. There is only hard work and preparation and winners are the people who use these things to take advantage of opportunity. Cleveland and Oakland are bad teams but you aren’t supposed to beat bad teams you are supposed to dominate them, and Denver did that.

I happen to agree that Dallas is overrated but they have a lot of talent and will crush you if you go to sleep on them. I can’t wait to see how McDaniels puts this one together. Should be an exciting game, however it comes out. One thing for sure, Denver will be prepared, win or lose.

This team looks better every week on both sides of the ball and you can clearly see it every week. I like Orton’s progression. He is slowly shedding his bad habits and I was very pleased to see that his pocket presence has improved even since last week, and he threw away a few balls rather than sit back and take the sack.

You can literally see him becoming a better player before your very eyes. Sure, the only way he’s ever going to Canton is on a tour bus but for now he’s our guy and he’s playing very well. And so are his team mates.

I am stoked. Even Stokeley’d. LOL

Couldn’t find anything in the links.

I’ll stand up and proudly say I was wrong about this team. Sure, I looked at their schedule and thought that 3-0 would be possible out of the gate, but the defense is SO MUCH better than I thought it would be. We really don’t need a great qb …. so far.

“…if you want to cheer for Jay Cutler, go to Chicago,” Broncos running back LaMont Jordan said. “If you don’t like our head coach, find another team.”

Like NYC said…these guys know what they’re doing.

Bucs Raheem Morris just named Josh Johnson starting QB with Josh Freeman as his backup. Byron Leftwich is now No. 3 QB.

Now if he could only replace his entire defense, poor guy.

Did Orton wear a glove?

I just don’t understand this:

#1 in yards allowed, #7 in rushing yards allowed and #2 in passing yards allowed.

I guess that means other defenses are far more imbalanced? Well, it is early in the season. But I can’t help but smile!
