It's gameday! Week 3 of the NFL preseason is here, which means the starters for the Denver Broncos will play at least half the game and maybe three quarters of it. This is as close as it gets to the regular season in August folks, so you can validate being excited. I've taken note of some pre game Twitter chatter that I thought might get you geared up for this matchup. More after the jump.

Lindsay Jones has the weather all lined up for the game.

Greetings from Mile High! Kickoff two hours away. Gorgeous day here in Denver. twitter.com/PostBroncos/st…

Broncos playing rare preseason day game--played one in New England, one in Denver vs Cowboys in 1978....

Austin Schindel, the SBNation blog winner, is at the game.

The @denver_broncos game will be sold out tonight, just like every other game since 1970 #Broncos

Two hours before kickoff, Keith Brooking and Mike Mohamed doing conditioning drills w/ a strength coach. Neither of the LBs will play today.

DT Kevin Vickerson, who missed most of the week recovering from a concussion, going through warmups. Looks like he'll at least dress today.

We fully expect Ronnie Hillman to play today. Practiced all week with no setbacks. #Broncos

Terrell Owens has also made it known that he has been waived from the Seahawks, joining Chad Ochocinco Johnson in the unemployment line. Next up is Randy Moss, who we will see today. Will he accompany his fellow old timers?

Alot will be riding on this game for the bubble players. All NFL teams will have to cut their rosters to 75 players by tomorrow afternoon.

This should be a very good test to see how the Broncos have progressed this offseason. Let's just hope our team stays healthy.

Go Broncos!
