Notes as I begin sifting through the comments posted since my last entry … many of which I will reply to within the following 48 hours …
I can only hope that everyone else in Broncoland returning from near and far has more energy than I do, that the players and coaches who scattered about were able to get more rest than I could, and that no one is dealing with an injury that is as painful as this right elbow that flares and throbs with each letter I type.
Whether I managed to find much time for sleep amidst darting from one family function to another — all following a one-hour night of sleep that began the weekend last Thursday — won’t make a whit of difference for the Broncos as they reconvene Monday for practice, just as they have following other bye weekends in recent years.
But for the players and coaches, the potential benefits of the time away won’t be fully known until we see them in action Sunday night against Pittsburgh, when they look to snap a three-game skid and find their old form after going 4-8 in their last 12 games, including a 2-5 home record in that span.
“By no means is this thing over,” safety John Lynch said before the bye weekend. “It’s just we’ve got to come together — coaches, players, everyone — and get the thing right. Start doing things in the right way and making plays.
“I think we all believe we have the talent in this locker room. I think what’s become apparent, talent alone doesn’t win you games, you’ve got to execute and all those things, and I think we will when we come back.”
Some quick bye-week stats of note to mention as the Broncos begin gathering once again:
Denver is 14-4 following its bye week, which is the second-best post-bye record in the league. It was tied for the best with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings, but both moved to 15-4 in that scenario Sunday with wins over the New York Jets and Chicago Bears, respectively …
… Head Coach Mike Shanahan’s post-bye record is 9-3, and his teams have won four such contests in succession, the most recent being a 13-3 Monday Night Football triumph over the Baltimore Ravens last October …
… The Broncos’ post-bye home record is 10-2.
Of course, numbers and references to the past are but a guideline; it is the present collection of Broncos — which, because of injuries last week, is down both Tom Nalen and Nate Jackson — who will have to try to uphold those trends.
More to come later today as the Broncos return to Dove Valley, return to practice and look to set their course right after a three-game losing streak leading into the one-week respite. Until then, I need to get some sleep myself, so vaya con Dios.
Tags: Bye week, John Lynch, Self-Indulgence
when i first read it, i thought john lynch was being too simplistic but the more i think about it ‘just play better’ sums up the current malaise pretty well.
i believe broncos!!! yall can do it, just communicate better!! everyone!! we will be superbowl champs if yall show up sunday night and whoop thew steelers!!

jetix
Denver always does well after a bye week.They need have better reads, better communication and tackling.I believe in you guys.No more excuses.Stampede those Steelers.
I’ll be driving 500 miles to see my Broncos kick some Steeler butt. Hopefully, the buy will have the team ready for a win. I know I for one will not let them down, I will be there in full colors yelling my fool head off for my team. GO BRONCOS
Broncos are back, baby!!!
I’m gonna make this one short and just wish all of them well and pray that they come back with their heads in the game. I’ll always have faith in my team, hopefully they can own the Steelers and make them know its Bronco territory their messing with. If they can play with a speck of teamwork like the Rockies did in Game 3, whew man they’ll be on fire.
That game was awesome, there’s no doubt the Rockies will win tonight and go to the World Series (that still hasn’t hit me) and hopefully some of that Denver magic will rub off on the Broncos.
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!
Andrew, Get better and get some sleep. (that better not be tennis elbow)
I think with the time off, the players will get back in the grove of things come mondays pratice. The D needs to lock down this week to take presure off Cutler! If we can put up an early 10 like we did vrs Indy we can make it happen on Sunday.
We all knew that there would be an adjustment period. I’ve seen improvement every single week in the D and our linebackers have been playing better. Unfortunately, one mistake in this league can cost you. I don’t really see the same improvement from the special teams, but I see a lot of heart out there. We always seem to concentrate on finding a good returner, but it’s almost always the other 10 guys on the field that determine the success of returns. I think that’s where we need to improve.
I really applaud both Shannahan and Bates. So many other teams in this league would panic and they haven’t. Success takes a long term view and a visionary attitude. To stand in the fire of all the criticism and do what you believe to be right takes a lot of heart and character. I also applaude Bolwen for running a great historic franchise the way it should be run. This team is made up of people, not players, people. People who have lives, families, and dreams just like we all do. We need to be patient, support our team, and be thankful for them laying it out for us each week.
Go Broncos.
I’d hate to look at this year as another ‘developmental growth’ period, if need be I will. I am concerned regarding inconsistent defensive coaching selections that have plagued the team over the past, going on eight years now. I’ve always admired Shanahan’s willingness to let the DHC do his job and limit his interference, but there comes a time in every man’s career that he needs to take decisive action even if in mid-stream.
Thoughts?
Mason, addition ideas for a post would be an evaluation of Shanahan’s playbook on Madden 08, my new favorite friend. Thanks for everything, keep up the great work.
I appreciate the homerestic view of things
but let’s step back from the orange colored glasses and take a look at the reality of the situation
Broncos have new players everywhere on defense (especially Dline)
Those players are not playing well
Broncos have 2 “new” players playing linebacker and 1 linebacker who was going to be cut, but Al messed that up (Ian)
Those linebackers are not good
Broncos have 2 very very average safeties who are a liability in coverage
We aren’t getting any better there
Broncos have their best Olineman out for the year
we are putting a guy who hasn’t played a snap for us in the regular season at center
we are inserting another relative newcomer at guard now
Javon is dinged up and his knee is worrisome
Travis Henry’s “situation” is going to be a distraction whether or not the team wants to admit it or not
we have no tight end play
we have basically a rookie QB
Rod Smith isn’t coming back this year
people..add all those up and you see it for what we are
a very below average team who is in a rebuilding mode
we aren’t going anywhere this year, the best we can do is get our young guys some experience and shoot for next year with our high draft picks we are going to get
Crikey, tell you what, after watching yesterday’s games, I don’t think it matters what the Broncos do at this point, this year is done. The Patriots are who we thought they were! You want to crown them, go ahead and crown their a**! Playoffs? Playoffs? Come after me, I’m a man! I’m 40!
Okay, there’s still 11 weeks of football left…it’s possible that the Patriots won’t exterminate the entire NFL. Plus, people are sleeping on the Colts because of the current media Man-Crush on Brady-to-Moss. The Chargers are going to be Jekyll and Hyde for the whole year apparently…they can show up and destroy a team, or they can look like Polk High. The Cowboys just re-affirmed the NFC’s status as the AFC’s weaker sister yet again. That’s where we are.
The Broncos have a slight chance to make the playoffs, but I thinks they’ll have to win the division to do it. If Baltimore and Jacksonville hold up, the wild card might be tougher than the AFC West title. If we lose our next two games, the season is toast–and ownership should act accordingly. Suck up some pride, Horsies.
fff
Well the Broncos have 2 motives to win, one is that the last time the Broncos played the Steelers the Broncos lost at home and sent the Steelers to the Super bowl, 2nd is that they just got there butts handed to them in a major spanking at home to a AFC rival, thats a no’ no’ I may be wishful thinking but I think the Steelers are going into a Mile high ambush. Go Broncos!
The broncos will be fine. Three game winning streaks starts sunday night at home, and for all the fairweather fans saying some of out defensive players are old and slow, just look at seau and harrison from new england. The offense will take care of it self. All we have to do is stop the run and get better special teams and everything will get back to normal, besides I like it better when nobody is talking about us. First 30 point game for us in a long time on sunday. Go Broncos.
if you are a true bronco fan, you won’t give up on this team. do they have weak spots,of course, what team doesn’t . i got a feeling things are going to click for this team all at once. frankly, i’d rather have them playing great at the end of the season than at the beginning. injuries play a big part in every team , who knows who will be playing on any teams when the playoffs come around and what oppurtunities may arise for the broncos come december. buck up mason, we like you but we’d like you better if you were a bronco fan. take some pain killers and hit the sack. when you wake up hire yourself some pretty young thing to do your typing till your elbow stops paining you!
I am sorry your right elbow is soar. I hope that gets better for you. I think the Broncos needed a break to clear their heads and get over that dredful loss last weekend.
I think the Broncos will come together and we will see a whole new team against the Steelers. The winning streak will start with the Stellers.
The team has had to deal with a lot this season. The deaths of Nash and Williams is still very recent and they are in the players minds. You are adjusting to playing with out them, (May they rest in peace), there are a lot of rookies on the team and the defense is working with a new defensive coordinator. I don’t like Bates but I do not have to play for him. Not to mention, all of the injuries.
I think the Broncos will come together against the Steelers and show everybody else what Broncos fans already know… The Broncos have a lot of talent and it will be appearant to everybody next weekend.
Go Broncos!!!!!
Fell Better Mason!
I am sorry, typo! I meant sore not soar.
I am sorry for all of the typos, I typed my message in a hurry. Typos doesn’t matter though!!!
Go Broncos!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the Rockies have also inspired the Broncos!!!
I’m loving the optmism by most…It’s refreshing after last week. The ST’s must get better & the D has to stop the run. That much we all seem to agree with, along with our red-zone offense scoring TD’s (That’s quite a bit by the way). The talent is on the team and I believe we have great coaches…So what’s the problem? How long does it, or IS IT going to take for this team to “gel?” and win some games? What is the missing ingredient Mason, anyone?
Hardcore diehard fan wanting to believe THE DENVER BRONCOS are going to come out Sunday night playing together and trample the Steelers…TRAMPLE!
GO BRONCOS!
of all the reads, MILEHIGHSHACK, has the most realistic! I only have 1 ? about the offense, can the new line give us pass protection? we will need to see much more from Selvin Young, Travis Henry will not be helping us for much longer, get your money back Pat and put on waivers. The big ? is
can the linebackers start maintaining gap integrity, can the d-line get a push, and will somebody please tackle. It’s pretty bad when your wide out is the leading tackler on defense. Jim DJ

Jim DJ is not doing well at mLinebacker, can we switch, is there anyone else who can play the position? Special teams, nothing special, coach em-up. I hope in the next round of draft choices we start addressing the interior on both sides!
Halloween is coming up and our lines, special teams, & red-zone offense aren’t scaring anyone. The only thing that is scary is our schedule! Injuries aside, there is still a lot of talent and I still want to know what is missing on this team? Still trying to be optimistic.
Go BRONCOS
Like I said in my previous posts under his last blog, its all about how bad the players want to win. If all 11 guys on both sides of the ball want to win this week then they can as long as they study their oppenents hard and practice their executions harder during practice this week. These next two weeks are truly the Broncos last chance to save the season but unfornately I’m not sure if they will be able to. I tend to like to wait and see until I pass judgement and if they keep playing like the last few games then they will obviously lose because my judgement on those games is that not all the players are acting like they want to, and enjoy to, play football. Here’s to hoping for a change of heart.
P.S – TonyTdrummer the last time the Broncos played the steelers was last year and the Broncos won that game. The motivation from the players should always be there, regardless of the team, they are in the national football league, they should have amazing motivation to want to win, especially for the amount of money they are making to play. And that lack of motivation is what I’m afraid I see most watching them this year, some players are showing it, and some just are not, you need everyone to show it if you want to win though.
i’m gonna have to agree with mile high shack on a few things. from my view of things our defense looks old out there, they look really slow , they can’t cover anybody. especially at the linebacker and safety positions. i also think shanahan should give jarvis moss more playing time he’s young and very fast. i watched some of the other teams yesterday and i see teams BLITZING the QB. you watch new england play defense and it reminds me of how things used to be in denver. are our coaches getting SOFT???? i also see other teams playcalling , their formations, the energy at which the receivers run their routes. WHY IS OUR PLAYBOOK SO BASIC AND FLAT???? it seems like if this were a video game we are the very first Nintendo( tecmo bowl ) version of the broncos and the other teams are the Madden 08 version of themselves kicking our butts all over the field. I am sick and tired of seeing the same plays run over and over, and that stupid shovel pass that loses yards. get rid of it. we have a young talented qb in cutler with a cannon, why not let him loose. its like we’re stuck in first gear. 1st down.. run- 2nd down…run- 3rd down… stupid play call…..PUNT!!!! same old story. RED ZONE- STUPID PLAY CALLS EVERY DOWN…FIELD GOAL… MAYBE???? WELL AT LEAST THERE’S ONE THING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. GO ROCKIES!!!!!!!
I wonder if all the fans giving up on the Broncos now are the same fans who gave up on the Rockies in June. Believe, baby. Anything can happen.
BRONCOSRULE5201 WHAT DEFENSE ARE YOU WATCHING?????? we don’t exactly have rookies out there. our safeties getting beat constantly by tight ends, linebackers who can’t tackle. how many saving tackles does
champ have to make?
I hope we switch DJ Williams back to his original position. We should trade Mike Bell for Trotter and a WR…? anyhow We need a middle linebacker BAD!
HEY JEBCHRIS i am not giving up on the broncos i am just stating the facts, sometimes the truth hurts.
i am not giving up on the broncos i am just stating the facts, sometimes the truth hurts.
Gates! Watch the video on how we beat the steelers last year. We confused Rothlisburghr big time. Just like I was confused spelling his name.
Please watch footage of how the Choakland Raiders Linebackers drop into coverage. There LB’s have 8 int’s,you can learn alot from a dummy. We can’t keep making the same MISTAKES over and over.
You have to weeks Gates don’t let us down…………………!!!!!!!!!!
Raiders Suck! and there in last place as usual.
MILEHIGHSHACK
if you honestly believe the broncos are done for 5 games into the season after losing to 3 of the best teams in the afc, and that they are going to dissapear into thin air, you must be riding the bandwagon so hard that we kicked you off…i’m sure if you went to the chargers game, you probably left after the 2nd touchdown, more likely the first, because shoot, something bad happened…its the NFL…WAKE UP!!!!, 2-3 is not the worst thing in the world, even teams with 1-3 or 4 records have a shot to turn things around..AND if you believe our personal is why we are loosing, then you are losing your mind…let me explain and try to help you to see the light…i’ll break down our “flaws” in their true light..
QB- jay cutler might not be john elway yet, but he’s learning from his mistakes and he moves the ball better consistantly than anyone since cutler, its tough to go 80-90 yards every drive and only see the field half as many times as the opponent, as the team improves, so will our young knight in shining armour..
RB- the travis henry situation is worrisome, but he has at least a month to play and help the team get on track, AND it’s looking more and more like he has a chance to win the case, if he’s willing to submit a hair sample, that spells out I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T to me…and who cares, it seems like selvin young can step in and carry us with enough big plays..
WR- Walkers knee is worrisome, but if he gets back on track, the passing game is one of the better in the league, and if we dont for a while, rod smith is showing progress, and we have BMARSH along with sheffler coming back to help, and stokely..not so worried..hopefully 84 is healthy quickly like he said…
TE- it seems like shannahan uses graham more as a blocker, and as scheffler is rotated into the passing game more, jay and him will pick up where they left off last year..not too worried there..
OL- the injuries are enough to make anyone worry, but myers has played center before and knows the system, he’s not tom nalen, but as long as no one else goes down, and graham or a back stays in to help out, they should be “good enough” to give jay just enough time, and open up some holes for the backs..
DL- stopping the run has been difficult, probably because of the DL(some linebacker play too), but once the system and players styles are figured out, it should improve, i would like to see some guys getting to the quarterback, elvis hasnt had a sack in 2 games, but jarvis provides pressure, and once dumervil gets some opportunities, he’ll jump back into the league leaders in the catagory..
LB- DJ plays good, gold plays pretty good(please dont line him up against anymore tight ends…seriously bates, he’s been burnt too much)..but once they figure that out, the group can be good..following the DL play
CB’s-champ’s injury is worrisome, but he should be back…and until we stop the run, which im enthusiastic will happen next sunday, champ and dre should get some opportunities
S- our safties are anything but “very very average” lynch is still a force, even with his injury, and ferguson has some trouble, but usually steps up and plays well…as a whole, the defense looks down, but theres not one specific player seems worse than another, if they gel, watch out..
KR- lets not talk about this subject, we need devin hester, or maybe steal some scheme from the bears, or virginia tech, something needs to change..
Fans- stay for the game no matter how cold or bad we’re losing, and make it the loudest stadium in the NFL, if you guys make the players feel supported, they’ll play better, i hope we get into the game early on SNF…
and shack, if youre giving up on the boys in blue now, delete your post name, and go jump on the patriots bandwagon, theyre pretty good this year,
p.s. dont come crawling back at the end of the season, when things are bright again in denver!!
See Andrew…When LPP members don’t come around, this blog get’s all touchy feely and boring. If you re-read all the comments here, it seems the Broncos have turned the season around and are already headed towards the bowl. Did everyone forget the Broncos didn’t even play this weekend? There is no marked improvement? Some anonymous guy up there said the defense has gotten better every game, 41 points last week buddy?
Let’s save all the speculation and “I always believed” until we see some marked improvement. Also, someone said the Broncos lost to three of the AFC’s best teams? Since when was Jax considered one of the AFC’s best teams? Geez!
Am I the only one on here that sees reality? Where’s FireShanahan? He needs to come back and talk some more sense!
I find it funny when people talk reality, we are labeled as bandwagon fan.
I’m not going to get into a pi$$ing contest on how long someone has been a fan…but let me retort
“2-3 is not the worst thing in the world”–it is in the AFC, if we were in the NFC, we’d still have a good shot. We already got beat by the Jags, so they will have any tie breakers on us as far as a wild card spot. The Bolts have finally figured out to give LT the ball and they will win, so I don’t think we will take the pathetic AFC West. The Pats & Colts are the class of the NFL, and we have already shown how we measure up to the Colts
“QB…”–I never said Cutler was bad, I said he’s basically a rookie and still learning..so we don’t disagree there
“RB…” –if you don’t think Henry isn’t going to get banned for a year, you haven’t been paying attention to the whole landscape of the NFL and Goddell’s new reign as commish
“WR”–we agree here, except for the fact Stokley should never be anything than a slot
“TE”–this isn’t 1960 and you don’t use the highest paid TE in the league for blocking
“OL”–if you don’t think we have a problem here, I have been watching a different team than you
“DL”–are biggest problem is DT…and Sam Adams and the other stiff next to him are worthless….we need to start the rookie here and take our lumps, b/c he is going to be good, just not this year
“LB”–this is where you obviously haven’t been paying attention all year. DJ is NOT playing “pretty good”. he is NOT a MLB, he is playing out of position b/c of the midget playing his real spot. The biggest mistake we have made in a long time was signing that midget and taking our best linebacker and putting him out of position. DJ might havea lot of tackles, but when they are 20 yards down the field, it’s worthless, a MLB has to be there at THE POINT OF ATTACK. Gold is horrible, he svcks so bad it’s pathetic, he only had speed and he doesn’t have that left. Don’t get me started on our SLB, he was a backup for life for a reason
CB’s–never mentioned this b/c this is our strongest position
S–watch Lynch and Fergy in coverage and tell me you don’t see a problem. Listen, Lynch is a nice guy and a great leader, but even good guys get old
I’ll still watch Denver even if we go 4-12 (which I have pred) but that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it and expect more from my beloved team.
Being a realist doesn’t make you any less of a fan than being a homer and seeing things through orange colored glasses.
All this talk about how bad we our is killing me. Yes we have lost some games but outside of the san diego game we have been competitive in most of them. If we could stop turning the ball over in crucial situations than we will be fine. Lets face it we are not going to have the number one defense in the league, we just dont have the personnel to stack up our defense like other teams do. It’s the little things we need to do like tackle, convert 3rd and short, score touchdowns in the red zone, stop letting the oppostion start at the 40 yard line. Those are all things that can be fixed by executing on both sides of the ball. We came out the right way against indy, than what happened we turned the ball over. The problem is with us we can’t get out of our own way, I predict a three game winning streak heading into kc in november, and after we win in kc for the first time in god knows how long everybody will be back on the bandwagon watch! Milehighschack I appreciate your honesty but there is no way we are going 4-12. Denver will win the afc west.
Did Jay getting worshiped this weekend by his College give him some confidence back this weekend?
I hope we wake up playing on National TV this weekend, but I think Monday against the Pack will be our coming out week so to speak…
I am sorry I was wrong, the BRONCOS did win the last time they played the Steelers But I still think that with the Steelers coming in with a 4-1 record that should give them motivation to win, not to mention that we will be underdogs at home. I don’t think I can handle another loss. GO BRONCOS.

WORRY NOT ABOUT THE FAIRWEATHER OF FANS,….DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MileHighShack, I must agree with you. It is funny how people call you a “bandwagon fan”, when in reality your stating fact. My god everyfan here wishes the Broncos would snap out of this funk. Realistically the Broncos have been in this funk since the pre-season. Unfortunately, if you live in reality, you will realize that every team at some point faces adversity. I personally feel as though their was a lot of mistakes in the off-season, in regards to building this team. In previous years the changes to the team only made the Broncos better. This year unfortunately, the team is not the beneficiary of all the changes. That is a coaching issue. If any of you believe this year will be special, you are only fooling yourself, and are setting yourself up for dissapointment. I love the Broncos and always will. It’s just one of those seasons, where we won’t have the right personell on the field to compete. Nalens gone, Henry will soon follow, Cutler and the rest of the offense are very young. As far as the addition of Stokley, He and Cutler are hardley on the same page. Unfortunately the Mile High Magic is missing this year. It’s like someone gave superman kryptonite. All the power is gone. Team chemistry is important and there is none on either side of the ball. I hate saying these things about the Broncos, but until they give me a reason not to, I feel as a fan, we are in for a very long season. As for me I will watch every game this year, supporting my life, long team until the last snap of the season. Sorry Broncos…. Disappointed in Las Vegas.
Hey Mr. Mason,
Welcome back! How did you hurt the old hinge joint anyway? Or do we want to know? A quick shout out to 1ARABIANKNIGHT. You got class kid! Back to Mr. Mason. I’m sure by the time you finished last weeks blog you assumed their would be no Bronco Nation to come back to. It got pretty ugly without your moderation there. One interesting note from Friday of last week. Henry was granted a stay until the end of the month. I can say with a fair amount of confidence that I don’t think we’re even close to having the full story on this issue. For this to not have been a grand slam for the League Office means that Henry’s argument must have some bite. It wouldn’t surprise me if the whole thing gets thrown out. You have greater resources and can probably recall with more certainty when the last time was, that any type of suspension, let alone a drug related charge, was dragged out for this amount of time. Have you heard anything more about this. Good to have you back. Sorry about the grammar, typing fast.

LAMENTABLEMENTE VAMOS A TERMINAR CON 5 GANADOS Y 11 PERDIDOS, A PESAR DE LO POSITIVO DE SHANAHAN DE QUE NO PASA NADA Y QUE ESTAN TRABAJANDO EN LOS DETALLES DEFENSIVOS , LA REALIDAD ES QUE NOS ESPERAN TRES O CUATRO TEMPORADAS DE MEDIOCRIDAD CON CUTLER AL FRENTE Y SHANAHAN COMO HEAD COACH.
LA ERA DE SHANAHAN QUEDO ATRAS , YA NO SON LOS 90s, ES MUY FRUSTANTE VER COMO SEMANA TRAS SEMANA NOS APLASTAN FISICAMENTE,
LO SIENTO POR LOS FANS DE LOS BRONCOS PERO NOS ESPERAN AÑOS DE SEQUIA
[...] closing, I would like everyone to pretty please go to Andrew Mason’s blog and read the very first paragraph. It might be the funniest thing I’ve read in my entire [...]
I don’t know abouth y’all but damm that was too long of a post to read, no no don’t strike me down. Hey were all fans, but I am not riding with Custer, so look at the facts, new QB, poor poor run defense, CB’s And safety’s doing the job for LB’s, below avg special team play, unimaginative play calling, Injuries, Injuries, question mark Oline ect… I want to see the bronco’s win as bas as u, but we may be a year or more away from the interior lines shoring up enough to win inside the red zone. If u can’t play defense you better get some long sustained drives from the offense!
GO BRONCOS
I am just hoping for a good game with our team back on track, let’s see the D drop Ben, Jay air out that ball (you can do it!!), get the run back on track, and it would sure be nice to see some special teams action (been missing that for sure). In other words so good old fashion FOOTBALL, let’s see it happen GO BRONCOS
HAHAHAHA That was funny !!!! HAHA
