It has been awhile (Enjoying many things this season)

It has been awhile since a Denver Broncos team has lead the NFL in rushing (159.7 yards per game)

It has been awhile since the Broncos had a stand out rookie like Von Miller (3rd in NFL in sacks and the only player out of Top 20 sack leaders with over 40 solo tackles)

It has been awhile since the Broncos had a running back with a 1000 yard rushing season (Willis McGahee currently at 775 yards and 4.8 yards per carry, last Bronco to get 1000 yards was Tatum Bell in 2006)

It has been awhile since the Broncos had a QB lead the AFC in 4th-quarter QB rating. (Tim Tebow is leading the AFC in 4th quarter QB rating and 3rd overall in the NFL in 4th quarter QB rating)

It has been awhile since the Broncos were national news for a positive thing vs something negative. (Thank goodness no more Brandon Marshall, Jay Cutler, and Josh McDaniels)

It has been awhile since a Denver Broncos defense has repeatedly dominated games and put opposing QBs on their backs (Note to Mike Shanahan, yes your defense can also win games)

It has been awhile since the Broncos have had a four game winning streak this late in the season (Broncos currently have 2nd longest winning streak in AFC, and third best winning streak in NFL)

It has been awhile since Broncos fans could go into the fourth quarter behind by points and still have a chance to win (This is really helping with our decade long Elway hangover)

It has been awhile since I've seen Philip Rivers scared for his life and running out of the pocket play after play

It has been awhile since a Bronco game really mattered and had playoff implications

It has been awhile since I had butterflies in my stomach before a big Broncos game

It has been awhile since i could talk crap at the office about how great the Broncos are

It has been awhile since I've felt this good about the Denver Broncos

The Bronco spirit is alive and well in Denver

It was only 2 seasons ago

That Orton/McD/Nolan went 6-0. And we all know how well that turned out. Beware small samples and emotional play.

Yes but defense is much different

I knew the 6-0 start was not real, that team didn’t have Dennis Allen and Von Miller. This team is very solid and should win the AFC West, maybe one playoff home win. That is best case, we have already exceeded my expectations for the Broncos this year with all the changes, new coaches, new defense, and no off season. Nobody is playing with more heart in the NFL.
