The live blog wasn’t working for me during the game… did anyone else have trouble seeing posts? It gave me the ‘comment posted’ prompt, and I see that the comments did in fact post but I was unable to see them live
great win! our offense looked kinda suspect today but they still managed to put up 30pts which is superb. The NFL is a marathon, not a sprint so you have to expect hiccups like these. i hope our guys can stay stay healthy and we need Kuper, Porter and Magahee back. i think Moreno will take full advantage of his opportunity next week. Im lovin the way our pass rushers are getting in the backfield. Miller now had 13.0 sacks (NFL Lead) and Dumervil has 8.0 with 7 force fumbles (2nd in NFL) All in all our offense have to do better at play calling but overall it was a great win against a division foe whom we all hate
Man DJ Williams was BALLING today!! I was so shocked but happy to see him contributing!
for once in about 10 years we could finally say the Broncos got that STIFF NOSE D!!!!
OH YEAH D.J WILLIAMS WAS BEASTIN TODAY
Demaryius Thomas is going to have his first 1,000 season this year
Our Defense was really Suffocating today! So much fun to Watch… and Von.. VON YOU ARE THE MAN!!! He is unreal coming off the snap…
nasty… DMT is a BEASTIE BEAST!!!
i remember for years the Broncos couldnt get a pass rush to save their lives. but now we can get sacks alomost at will and most of all stop the run
@Turtle yea he sure is. i call him Optimus Prime since Calvin Johnson is Megatron
Defense side of the ball clicked today, they lapsed a little towards the end but Im still enjoying the heck out of their play. You can see the swagger coming out of them the more they play. Confidence is at an all time high right now. Offense didnt click but still very nice to see our team score 30 points.
By the way, I was only three points off the lead with a score of 28-24…anybody get closer than me?
no matter what happens, i am just going to sick back and enjoy this season because we havent had a year like this since we went to the AFC Championship game in ’05
Bomber… The Dane picked the exact score this week… 30-23 on the Nose, so he will be cushioning his lead a little
i wish we had Gerrell Robinson still on the active roster. i think he would have done damage in the slot
man o man what a game. thats the reaction anytime we beat the chargers and phyllis walks off the field, essentially ‘giving up’ with 10 seconds left in the game. I could watch that moment over and over again that was CLASSIC. he was like ‘screw it, heres the ball ref, i’m done’. HAHAHAHA. anyway its gotta be pretty good around here when we say the o looks bland and complain about how the o played when we put up 30 points! I, too complained a little about the o and then read a comment earlier about that and it woke me up a little. some bronco fans already spoiled? i think so! but its awesome!! the defense is playing dominant, and dj is only gonna make it that much better (how good was he carmelloo!) and thats gonna take us a long way ‘despite’ that ‘bland’ o putting up ‘only’ 30 points a game. the chargers do suck but theyre not terrible and it was an always tough division game against a mad division foe we embarrassed earlier in the season and we won handily, even with multiple mistakes. we are an elite team i say, tho just barely breaking in that arena. still some maddening things going on that should not happen. and, yes, i too think the o still could be so much better. if mcgahee is out for an extended time that could be trouble but with manning back there the opponents d can know he’s gonna throw most of the game and he still put up 300 yds and 3 td’s. thats what you get with peyton manning. MVP for sure and i think that yes, manning can be the offensive mvp and miller can be the defensive mvp. how cool would that be? manning will def get the comeback player of the year award too. but i am mainly just excited as can be about this team and the potential it shows. looks like PLAN A was the way to go huh cat??!!??
66, The Dane hit the nail on the head with the perfect score and he’s in 1st place to begin with. LOL
Hello LBF! How is it going? Long time, no talk bro.
i hope the Steelers win this game. the ravens would fall to the wild card round and we would move up to the third spot in the division leaders race. Houston dont look too good and we already be Pittsburgh
Darn….thought I would be close to take first place….I should at least get some points though. Good job Dane.
even if Magahee is out for a extended period of time, i still think Hillman (speedster) Moreno(blitz pick up) etc can get the job done. how come we dont use Andre Caldwell at all?

Turtle…DJ Williams is a weak side LB. Brooking is a middle LB. Williams played at middle LB today but that is not his natural position. He made a play or 2 BUT…If you want to compare…compare him to Wesley Woodyard who in my opinion has taken his spot for good. We have a shortage at MLB because of the injury to Mays. In the past…DJ has not played well in the middle. (we tried him there when we went to a 3-4 defense) I know he had alot of tackles and led the team there but he rarely made plays like he did today. Don’t get suckered in to the hype that DJ is back because he didn’t play one snap at his natural position today. He may be trade bait if he finishes the season well but I don’t see how he can possibly get his spot back at the WILL LB position when Woodyard and Trevathan seem to have that spot locked. Just sayin’
WE STILL GOT RAVENS SO IF THEY WIN THEIR GAMES LEADING UP TO THE BRONCOS THEN WE WILL PUT A LOSS UP ON THEIR RECORD..GO BRONCOS
I have a complaint. At the end of the first half, we would have been kicking a 68 yard feild goal… but we took the ball out and tried to get it back in in like.. 6 seconds. I don’t understand the mismanagment there. Not only that, but we threw it to the middle of the field. Prater should be putting his boot up somoeone’s butt. That was his record shot right there. I have been wating for a few years now for him to come out and rip one of those off at the end of the half. Then that happened? BAH> Go Broncos. VONDOOMERWOLFE!!!!!
Raidr… DJ is a sick MLB! He played many positions, and played MLB for us before the shift to 3-4… He had 100+ as MLB and he is far superior there than is Brooking… I watch, and I understand what I’m talking about bro!
