I stand by my halftime comments … but – boy, wasn’t that sweet!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome turn around. This game should have been 49-17. reason being Decker falling over his legs.
Where are all my haters at halftime? I told you. Patience. No one thinks I know what I’m talking about. Peyton Manning and the defense was INCREDIBLE!
We are gonna win our division!!
Hi Ticat!!
norv looks like he wants to cry
Wow!!! EPIC comeback. I LOVE MY TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our D turned on the afterburners!! The end result TURNOVERS!! HaHa!!
Cat – perhaps because we have come up short three times in a row. This win will do the team good but you can’t ignore that we are 1-3 when we get in a hole and there is no denying we need to start better
I love my team also. LOL
Well said London. We gotta come out of the gate fast.
cat no one was hating you they were hating the team. and what wasnt to hate
We’re going to be near on unstoppable when we play with the lead. Let the offense loose earlier.
Heck yes!!
So the bye week, then N.O. on Sunday Night Football. We’ll win our division.
Do I sound like a broken record? LOL
It is 60 minutes! 60 minutes! We have all that time to win or lose and we came back and scored 35 unanswered points. This is a team sport and yeah we sucked it up big time, but I believe in what they’re trying to do and I’m willing to have patience. I have also been a Manning fan for over 15 years and I know what he can do for a team. They needed this game and I am with Adam Schefter… We will always remember this as the game where the Broncos won the AFC West.
We have the capability to score over 50 points in some games if we play mistake free football.
@cat. we need to talk..what did I say about Carter?
He is aggressive is what I think it was
RH709 Carter and Harris are my heroes!!!! TWO INTS for Harris and Cater had one with a fumble return. My heart was all a flutter. Our young guys are figuring this out!
new blog yall. This is a good one, a must read.
Strand, if we can put four quarters together we are dangerous. Wow. We made it through our tough games 3-3. Isn’t that where we wanted to be?
It was like Jekyll & Hyde …. Worst half ever / best half ever. What we learned tonight is that you can never rule out Peyton. He is such an upgrade over Tebow and I couldn’t help but to like Timmy…. We just cannot give him 20 point plus to climb every week…
3-3 is not bad considering who we have played and we look better at mile high as well
going back 8 years, if you go into the 4th q ahead by 14 against PFM, consider yourself tied.
Wow!
As a lifetime Broncos fan, I’ve been treated to some amazing comeback victories through the years.
This one was simply spectacular!
1st place AFC West and Peyton Manning is-
Broncos Country Strong 2012!!!
