Packers Are NFL's Top Team, But the Bottom Is a Mess | NBC Los Angeles

Elway's First Season Game by Game - Mile High Report
After watching the game yesterday, I heard the phrase wildly inaccurate, and incompetent. That got me thinking about Elway's first season game by game. We have this poor misconception that every QB has to be just like Elway (Unfortunately we only think about the skilled polished post 1993 version of Elway).

Broncos vs. Dolphins: The No Bull Review - Mile High Report
Hmm...loved the last 10% of the game.  Was very frustrated with the rest of it.  That will show in my review.  I still like being in a game at the end though.  I like the team never giving up.  We would have lost in a shut-out last year because of poor defense, lack of want on the offense, etc.

Believe - Mile High Report
The Tebow critic vs. the Tebow fanatic. If this game were a UFC fight the Tebow critics were laying a beating on the fanatics for the first 3 rounds. Shot after shot. Hit after hit. Face into the mat and back up again. Face into the mat and back up again. Then, beaten and bloody, came a knockout punch that the critics never saw coming. A left-handed hook that KO'd them in a heartbeat... and the crowd goes silent. This was unexpected.
