I agre with you kc1 I just think that it is also a league where you are only as good as your last game so people can go ahead and celebrate the wins. If the losses come, I say bemoan them too. This site is leans more to a bias where everyone is super happy and somewhat unrealistic, and the DP everyone is down in the dumps. I just think a happy medium is necessary. But I agee McDaniels has made our offense worse and Nolan has made our defense better. I keep saying as long a s we can start at the oother team’s 20, we are an efficient offense.

Dont forget we did play 2 of the worse teams in football the last 2 weeks. our offense, especially the running game, looked good because of our defense and their turnovers. U are crazy if you think our offense is good enough to beat the good playoff teams. I hope the next several weeks will prove me wrong.

That is a below average offense. 9th eary in the season compared to 2nd at the end last year. Brady i winning after sitting out a year in far more difficult games than we have played without Wes Welker. The defense has been fantastic, and by all means I think Mike Nolan should be the Coach of the Year so far. No one has done more to resurrect a team than Nolan. That being said, we still have no pass rush. Yes we get a lot of sacks, but most of those have been late game when the other team is forced into obvious passing downs and because the secondary is playing superb. As the schedule becomes tougher, and we begin to play better teams, I think we will see the true composure of this team. I know people are saying that we are defying the odds, but most “pundits” would agree that on talent alone we were favorites against the three teams we have beaten. taking nothing from the team because you have t obeat who the schedule makers put in front of you. I have reserved judgment on this team until after the bye week at least. i think the biggest reason people are disliking Orton is because he cannot make a play. Game on the line and forced to pass, no one feels secure with Orton at the helm. or at least I don’t until he shows he can. Anyway, there are 13 games left, time to sink or swim.

The Broncos have looked great so far. Now it is time for true Bronco fans to step up. I challenge all fans (especially South Standers) to make Invesco Field the most difficult environment for visiting teams to play in the entire league. Bring back the Mile High Magic. We can do it!

Wow, 3-0, and as of this writing, Orton has a better passer rating than Cutler! I always liked Kyle and never felt that he got a fair shake here in Chi-town. (Shaky pass protection and unreliable receiving can really hurt your chances of making the Pro Bowl as a QB, never mind winning.) I hope you guys go 16-0! Well, 14-2. The only time I would be rooting against you this year is if we should happen to meet in the post-season, and what a story THAT would be eh?

Rock on, Broncos.

Broncofaninkc1….wow…. you must be joking! last year we did NOT have an explosive offense! we had a quarterback that was forced to throw the ball 40 or 50 times a game because we had no running attack, and our defense couldnt stop the local jr high C team! i will take 200 plus yards on the ground and only 20 passes any day! the thing i believe you are missing is that the broncos have not been behind except for about 14 seconds this season, so as long as the running game is pickin up 1st downs there is no need for orton to try and sling the ball all over the place! if the broncos get seriously behind this season then you will get the pass happy offense you are missing… just my opinion tho, not an attack, just an observation!
GO BRONCOS
PS… We are all witnessing the dawning of a new era……. THE BLUE CRUSH ERA!

Broncofaninkc1 I partially agree with you in the fact that our Defense is largely reposible for winning us games. I disagree with you that we have an average Offense and here’s why. First of all, any team that rushes for over 200 yards in a game has performed above average. Statistically we are above average in yards per play, time of possession, turnovers and yards per game. Best of all, even though I’m sure we all miss those 65 yd bombs but….we are ranked in the top 10 (#9) in total offense. Is that average? You just want THE BIG PLAY. I didn’t agree with Shanny’s play calling all the time either. Give Josh a break. I think he’s doing a great job so far.

Here’s something for all you McD bashers out there to consider. Is it possible that….while the patriots are still a very good football team….they have NOT looked completely crisp….even bad at times…like I said they are still very good…Is it possible that they miss Josh McDaniels a little bit? Here are some other things that not many of us expected:

We’re 3-0
We are +6 in turnovers
We lead the league in sacks (10 shared with 2 other teams)
We have a QB that has not turned the ball over (Only 3 QBs can say that)
Have an offense and defense both ranked in the top 10.
Have an excellent rushing attack….and best of all
the #1 Defense in the league!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

We are allowing 5.3 points per game…16 total so far…..the next best are the jets who have allowed 33 total.

I have been ending my posts with The Orange Crush Lives since training camp started…..do we believe?….hell yes we do! Get ready to start the DOOOOM! chant in Mile High!!! Bring on them cowgirls!!!

GO BRONCOS!!!! South Stands Forever!!! The Orange Crush Lives!!

I for one don’t miss last years offense at all! This year The Broncos are dominating the opposing defenses
And controlling not only the ball but The Game, couple that with fantastic Defense and the special teams has also done a Great job which makes this Broncos TEAM a true contender. I couldn’t be more happy with the way things have worked out from the start with letting go of Shanahan all the way to were They as a TEAM stand now.

This wasn’t an easy ride for Coach McDaniels and The rest of the TEAM
It may be boring to you but This is real football. It’s all about control and Dominance.

TIME OF POSSESSION ! ! !

GO BRONCOS ! ! !

I like how Orton threw the ball away a couple times when there was nobody open. Smart football!

D-fense was amazing, add 2 sacks to Doom’s stats. B-Dawk is like the foundation of our defense because he’s like having a coach playing out there on the field, such a great leader.

I liked what Rich Gannon the announcer said about McD and what he took away from Belichek, which was that every Wednesday of the week there’s a team meeting and McD points out to the players exactly what they need to do to win in all three phases of the game. What a smart thing to do! We are a different football team each week depending on our opponent. Of course, our faith in the team always remains.

Thank you Mr. B for hiring this man as our coach!
