Dear Denver Broncos Season Ticket Holder,

The Broncos are competing, along with several other AFC teams, for a Postseason appearance. Due to the competitiveness of the American Conference of the National Football League, the teams qualifying for Postseason play may not be determined until the final NFL regular season game on Sunday, January 1, 2012.

To prepare for the logistics of potentially hosting two playoff games, the Broncos have been required by the National Football League to send postseason ticket information to 2011 season ticket account holders. The combination of the NFL Playoff format, the number of playoff contending teams, and the limited time to print and distribute tickets necessitates the NFL and the Broncos to establish a deadline of Friday, December 23rd to remit your payment.

You have been invoiced for both potential home playoff games. Should a game not be hosted in Denver, the ticket balance will be credited to your 2012 season ticket package.

A printed invoice was mailed to the address on your account on December 5.

This was the email that sat atop my email inbox this morning as I began my day. Tebow lovers and detractors alike will be interested to know that the 2011 Postseason is quickly approaching and as it appears now, the Broncos have as good a shot as ever to play in January. It's amazing to think that after last year's abysmal showing and our equally awful 1-4 start this season, that the playoffs could be something more than a fantasy at this point in the season.

Assuming the Broncos do indeed make the playoffs by winning the AFC West, there will be at least one home game and depending on the outcome of the first week of playoff action, possibly another. With four weeks left in the regular season, is it too precocious to go ahead and place the order now? Could this jinx the Broncos? How long should one wait before jumping in with their wallet?

It's an exciting time indeed to be a Denver Broncos fan.

Amazing, isn't it!!

I just want to see the Broncos score LOTS of points, beat the SNOT out of the opponent, and walk away with a humble "God Bless". How about you?

Especially Considering...

That a year ago today we were firing McDaniels and sitting at 3-9 in the standings. To be 7-5 and getting playoff ticket invoices a mere year later… Love it!!!

I couldn't imagine a post-season talk this year!

And after our start with Kyle I was sure we should be happy if we could repeat the pitiful 4-12. But the Mile High Magic is just doing week in week out. It’s fantastic!!!

I wasn't prepared or looking for anything like this for sure...

I am overwhelmed with what has transpired since SD #1…I was in the hospital for most of Orton’s playing time recouperating from surgery…

It is winter after all

Just dress appropriately and I doubt anyone will notice that your bikini line is a little straggly.

This is what TEAM football can do people.

In this day and age you are seeing the abnormal – a NFL football team that is buying in and believing in each other. That is a very dangerous thing…to everyone else in the league. :)

Now lets get in the playoffs and see what we can do!

Sounds like the locker room is beaming right now after listening to the Sounds of the Locker Room at DenverBroncos.com

There was joyous joking going on back and forth while the interviews were going on…Awesome.

what about Orton?

I agree the locker room was over the rainbow, but why would Orton, even as a backup, not want to stick around for 7 more games (guessing, and w/o playoffs) to enjoy such a thing? Was he feeling like that much of an outsider? Did the mood change only after he left? Is being a starter that important to him? Was he just frustrated/angered about being supplanted (again) by the new kid? So many questions, so few answers. Guess I better get used to it.

I think they didn't want to pay the $2.5 million....

…and I’m sure the Tebow limelight was something he’d rather do without.

It would be amazing if on New Years day we beat the Chiefs at home and capture the AFC West crown!

All with a new coaching staff and new system/scheme. That would also mean we’ll probably play a wildcard team at home for the first game, something the Cutster or Kyle Ortonary couldn’t do…
