Guess I won’t have to see the mocks with Denver trading up for Matt Barkley. He’ll be the #1 overall pick in 2013. Dude has some seriously talented WRs coming back. USC should be in play of the national championship next year.
Sorry Buff fans, but that 2012 game in So Cal is going to suck.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you (including you Elway).
Uhhhh
Nope. They are in all kinds of trouble still with the NCAA. No bowls, no championships, no nothing for awhile.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....NOPE.
The season just ended was the last year USC could not be in the bowls; they served their two yearsof being banned. They have 3 fewer scholarships for a couple of years and some probation, but are fully eligible for the BCS championship and any bowl in this upcoming season. To go after a bowl was, imo, the primary reason Barkley returned.
Thanks Kaptain.

I’m hoping the Bills game on Saturday will be like the game in KC last month. Let’s just run over these suckas. Run it over 50 times and turn this into a 2 hour game!
Atheist for Tim Tebow!
We control our destiny
so let’s smack the Bills around, the Texans really shocked me last night, I hope we have more killer instinct than that!

Seriously though
They’ve had to face Manning twice a year their entire franchise existence and to think of having to face Luck twice a year for the next 15 years…
that is really a good point

Not really....
….the players aren’t going to roll over because they are afraid of facing some college kid in the future. There is a lot wrong with this argument.

If Skip Bayless hadn’t already proven that he loves Tebow, but hates the Broncos, he proved it this morning. Apparently, if Dawkins doesn’t play, the Broncos are in trouble unless Miller “finally plays a game” and Dumervil shows up. I guess he’s missed the first 14 games of the season.

hahahahahahah Shannon Sharpe owns.
The 1998 Kansas City Chiefs, the most-penalized team in NFL history, suffered their most inglorious moment in a Monday night meltdown against Denver that had to be seen to be believed.
Denver’s Hall of Fame tight end, Shannon Sharpe, kept reciting numbers at the line of scrimmage — three before first down, three before second down, four before third down — that turned out to be the telephone number of the girlfriend of Kansas City’s Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas. With each digit that Sharpe called out, Thomas became more enraged, to the point that he drew two personal foul penalties for pulling and twisting Sharpe’s face mask.

It seems like a lot of people are nervous about this game and they may be rightly so…A cornered wounded animal is very dangerous and there is no telling what they will do. I was deer hunting one time when I saw a deer run over a hunter on a trail. I got to thinking that the deer had to see the bulky clothed hunter walking towards it, and, it doaned on me that this animal was so scared from being shot at from another hunter from where he came from that he didn’t even see the eminent danger in front of him, but saw right through him for escape. It was very funny at the time, but realizing the startled hunter could have been seriously injured possibly taking an antler to the chest or a hoof to the face, my amazement turned to concern for the hunter’s health.
Not being able to see me being in a confined space above I watched as the huntered rolled around on the graound, sat up, and looked around trying to figure out what just happened and if anybody had witnessed his embarrassing ordeal. With the deer long gone I made my way down towards the hunter to see if he was hurt. He said he was okay, just shaken up a little, but soon we had a good chuckle of the embarrassing incident that could have been disastrous. The good part about it was that he now had something to talk about with his friends around the campfire that evening.
Bottom line is, never take your enemy for granted, make every preparation for the worst scenario that could ever happen. The Broncos have to be leary of the wounded animal in Buffalo tomorrow and make sure ever possible scenario has been covered and stop making silly mistakes. I believe this will be a hard fought game and might come down to the wire much like most of our other wins. Go Broncos, bring the Division!!!

I had to sew up a hunter
who was perched on the edge of a deep creek overlooking a meadow, fell asleep, and awoke with the buck directly beneath him and about 4 foot lower (per the fool anyway). He pulled his knife and jumped on it……idiot.

The coolest track was the one about us being the only team to have all 5 starting OL relatively healthy all year. They sure are getting a lot of togetherness this year. Everyone has to have a great big smile about that.

That's funny as I read an article over at ProFootballFocus and they rated our OLine as one of the leagues worse.

You kidding me?
No way is our OL one of the worst. They’re not one of the best either, just one of the healthiest.

Here you go...
Marcell Dareus (+11.3) has been a wildly unpredictable player so far in his career but he could be a factor in the run game and pass rush if he’s in top form against one of the weakest interiors in the league. J.D. Walton (-24.7) grades out as the worst starter at OC in the league and Zane Beadles (-19.1) hasn’t been much better next to him.

There you have it.
Question: How does the fans on here feel about our developing OL and whether or not we need to upgrade in the draft this year or just go after more depth in the later rounds?
