I am more scared of Carolina than I was of Cincy. Carolina may be 2-6 but they have been in every one of those games. They aren’t what there record shows and Brian Burkes efficiency rankings have Carolina higher than most of the other remaining opponents.

Tampa and Carolina are the ones that frighten me.

Turnovers & Penalties. We still need to work on eliminating them. Killed some drives and put us deep in our own territory. I don’t know if it was Mannings thumb or what but those two INTs were on Manning in my opinion. His first one, yeah maybe Decker should’ve gotten inside Newman, but his second was just an overthrow. Again maybe his thumb, but we had some key drops early in the game on some key downs.

Trindon made up for his fumbled punt return..and then some! Wow, he’s fast!

Defense played well. Glad to see Champ get his first INT of the season! Miller is playing at a very high level!

Great win. Now for Carolina, which won’t be an easy task either. Even though Fox won’t admit it, I bet deep down he’s really wanting this win against his former team!

Great win on the road yesterday and Broncos have now strung together three wins in a row. Going into the jungle is never easy, no matter their record. Bengals were coming off a bye and were well rested and hungry for a win. Their O-line was getting a strong push as evidenced by their RB’s falling forward for additional real estate.
Broncos on the other hand, had a tough time running the ball, but we knew it would not be an easy task going into this one. (Tough D-line for Bengals). Bengals wore down somewhat in 2nd half. Still have a few things to work on (drops, penalties). On a good note, no fumbles yesterday.
Got to give PM credit for overcoming the adversity in 2nd half and generating some TD drives to pull this one out. A few things stood out from the win yesterday.

- Decker was a beast with his most productive game to date.
- Five sacks generated by the D with Miller leading the charge in rattling Dalton.
- David Bruton had a few reps on D and almost had another block on ST..(was held and drew a penalty from Bengals).
- Holliday is really quick – nice score on ST!
- Trevathan had a sack.
- Ramirez held is own in place of Kuper.
- Ayers contributing on D.

GO BRONCOS!!!

Was a little nervous when DT got hurt, but he seemed fine after. Must’ve been a real stinger though. Tough break for Kupe………He’s really battled the injury bug lately and I hope it’s not serious. Kudos to Rimerez for coming in and not missing a beat.

With the exception of a couple of breakdowns, our D played pretty solid all game. Loved the pressure we were getting on Dalton and Champ gets his first INT of the year. Maybe that’ll spark a trend!

And how about that KR for a TD! WOW!!!! But just as good as that was, Ball falling on the ball at the 1 was just awful and a poor decision. Also, our PR coverage was great but our KR coverage was sketchy at best. Need to clean that up.

Another tough road game coming up. Forget Carolina’s record…….it won’t be an easy game. Interested to see how our D handles a mobile QB like Newton. I’m sure Fox won’t let his old team beat him.

DB……the calls last night in the Giants game were horrible. And on the fumble recovery, there was a horrible illegal block to the back that went uncalled. And the PI penalty on Pitt was totally phantom. Good thing Pitt pulled it out or there would be some major fallout I think.

But back to our Broncos………we are really starting to gel and form an identity. We have the potential to run the table……..even beating the Ravens, who IMO, aren’t really that strong. We can run all over them and our D can match their over-rated O.

GO BRONCOS!
