What a Pats Fan Still Thinks the Broncos Have to Look Forward To

by Middlesex on Jan 15, 2012 10:32 AM MST

First and foremost, MHR is probably the best fansite I've had the pleasure of interacting in.

Secondly, Tebow is just a couple of weapons short of having a dangerous offense. Give this man a Tight-End like his old buddy Hernandez and a 3rd WR(incase someone like Decker goes down). It might not hurt to add some depth to the O-Line.

The Broncos are excellent at covering outside of the numbers. Their depth at safety got tested and yeah, they might want a MLB other than Mays. They are just a piece or two away from having a scary defense..

Tim Tebow will get the most important off-season of his career. This is his chance to expand his arsenal and improve at the more intermediate passes.

Rumors about Dumevil's knee did not appear off the mark. Next year, he, Dawkins, and Miller will be healthy again. And I expect Miller to have a dazzling sophmore career.

Last but not least, no team has a better feel-good quality to them than the Denver Broncos.

Until next year, guys! Thanks for the hospitality and the pictures of your cheerleaders.

Thanks man, congrats on the win and good luck throughout

We didnt do the one thing we needed to do, stop brady. That man is a beast. Thanks for the compliments on our team!

We do need to add him some weapons. We have a young raw TE named Julius Thomas who has the potential to be that guy, needs a good offseason. Explosive running back would be nice too.

I can't make a judgment on Julius

all he’s done is play in the preseason, and Orton is the preseason king. I need more data

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

Thanks for the kind words

Still trying to sort through the carnage from yesterday. There are several positives to take away from the 2011 Broncos season along with several areas to work on. With some planning and hard work I think the Broncos will come back next year more competitive than this.

Wish your team well and good health throughout the post-season. The Patriots are definately the team to beat in the AFC and should give the NFC representitive a difficult opponent.

Thank you sir

I am pulling for the Patriots and Packers in the SB. I think that has the potential, if both teams bring their A games, to be the best SB ever. I am torn on who I would be rooting for, probably both teams to have great game and be happy with whomever won.

Last nights game provided the Broncos with many lessons, I can’t wait too see how much they learn from it. An offseason of being able to work with his coaches and Elway, and watching film…I am excited to see how good Tebow looks next season.

Thanks for the uplifting words!!

I totally agree with you. Hernandez and Tebow played at Florida together, and if we could pick up a great TE like him, it would help immensely. I believe the off season will help this team totally gel and next year we’ll take the AFC West again.
Good luck to the Patriots….I’ll be rooting for them since Denver is out of it….
GO BRONCOS!!!!

Would be tough to find a duo of TE like Hernandez and Gronk.

We’d settle for even a partial of either but someone yesterday said Fox isn’t big on using TE for receivers. Sigh.

It was criminal that we got those two

in the 2nd and 4th rounds of the draft. Fox may want to go for a tall WR who can also run-block, instead of a receiving-TE type.

It is what it is

Appreciate the thoughts and I agree with all of them. My only concern is whether the coaching staff agrees or not.

They seemed content to not find a solution to Joe Mays. Irving obviously is not better yet.

They drafted 2 pass catching TEs but didn’t utilize them at all. I know they are raw but if I don’t see a large involvement by them next year I will be scratching my head at the move.

Another WR is a must. DT will be huge and has great Chemistry with Tim but Royal and Willis don’t get the job done.

I am just not sure Fox and McCoy will see the same things many of us see. Fox has never really utilized pass catching TEs and McCoy seems to be building an offense to suit Fox not us. We’ll see what happens.

Tim Tebow wears 3WM and drinks Tuscan whole milk.

Excellent points 101

This coaching staff is a bit of an enigma. Our saving grace is having Elway in the mix. I’m still confident that he gets it but is taking a first things first approach. Stabilize then optimimize!

For some reason people don’t “get” that.

Thanks middlesex you're pure class my man.

As a football purist i’m beyond intrigued at next weeks matchup. Classic irresistable force v immovable object matchup. After watching Brady absolutely dissect our D and BB making our entire coaching staff look like HS coaches it will be fun to see how he and Harbaugh square off.

The game was a great experience for all the young players

Rarely mentioned amongst all the Tebow talk is that we have a very young team, including the youngest offensive line in the NFL. Going all out against two of the best teams in the NFL in the pressure packed environment of the playoffs should pay off big time next year.

I agree, Larsen shouldn’t get any bigger. I am getting tired of his bone crushing hits knocking the pixels off my TV, once they fall to the floor they are very hard to find.

Thank you, MS

Good views about our team. I was at the Pats Pulpit when we faced in the reg.season and you guys are also classy fans to interact.

Do you think you could get your coaching and front office staff drunk so that we can trade for Hernandez?

You know, maybe send you guys Goodman or Moreno or someone? TE, TE, my kingdom for a TE!!!

I doubt Brady would let either Gronk or Hernandez get traded.

The Boston TE Party is beloved, and Hernandez would cost at least a 1st. There will be decent TEs available in the draft. If you guys need more picks, Belichick always has one or two to trade.

It is what it is

by Middlesex on Jan 17, 2012 8:14 PM MST up reply actions

I'd rather trade with Lucifer himself.

Or is that redundant? ;)

Whatcha gonna do, brother, when the Broncos run wild on you!

by postpunk27 on Jan 18, 2012 9:52 AM MST up reply actions

That's true enough.

Belichick has never been shy about trading draft picks. And you are probably right. Tom Brady has the best TE tandem I have ever seen and I don’t think he would been down with breaking that up. Still, a guy can dream, can’t he?

Thanks for the kind words

I’m hoping that we can build upon the success we had this year. I think no other player will reap more benefit from having a real off season to go through than our man Timmy. Now it’s all about the upcoming draft. Is it April yet?
