Good Morning Broncos Country! I hope everyone remembered to 'Spring Forward'! That means it is time to move your clocks forward - for those in the U.S. that is(and don't live in Arizona, right??). Anyway, I'm about to head off to do 90 minutes of Yoga and figured I would get HT out of the way early for all of you. 36-4. That is the Broncos win-loss record the past 9 years during their various 'Hot Starts'. The starts are relative - from a 3-0 start in 2002 to 6-0 in 2009 - but the idea remains the same. The Broncos, for nearly a decade, have been a team that gets out of the gate hot only to struggle late. The results - 22-34 to end seasons - show why the team has just one playoff win since 2001. In that year - 2005 - the Broncos finished 4-1. The Broncos are efforting themselves this off-season to end that trend. Size matters in the NFL, and the Broncos have gotten bigger along the defensive line. I expect them to do the same on the offensive line as well. Instead of being the team that wears down, look for the Broncos to be the team doing the punishing. That's the goal, anyway. Enjoy your cup of 'Orange and Blue coffee', and GO BRONCOS!
