Great day to get my PC back missed being on the blog. I guess TT decided to pull the trigger good job
Feed Detmer some crow PLEASE
OMG so F’ in Awesome I could die. Wow!! Just WOW!!!!
Tebow played awesome. Everyone played awesome (except maybe McG, but hey ..w/e).
Go BRONCOS!!!!!!!
im not even gonna gloat. i hope Decker knee not serious. On to the Pats. Let the revenge tour of the Broncos begin!!!!!!
who says my boy isn’t a QB. wooooooooohooooooo. go get them patriots timmy.
I find it Ironic that Broncos go to play the Pats. McD is hired and is now the OC of the Pats. Man this season couldn’t be written even better.
Ok, I usually never ever post right after a game since I’m buzzed, but THIS WAS CRAZY!!!
The winning 80 yard TD pass to Thomas was so much like the 80 yard TD pass to Rod Smith in the 98 SB, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!!!
I yelled so hard for the end of the game that I about lost my voice and as far as the contest goes I know there is going to be a very excited daddy here tomorrow morning when I post the results.
And all the contestants are excited because we have one more week to play the game, just like the Broncos.
And Tebow cemented his starting job for next year for certain.
One look at Elway on the sidelines at the end of the game said it all, Tebow finally showed him and us he could be a thrower of the ball, AWESOME STUFF all around!!!
I’m out, got the grand-kid and she can almost say GO BRONCOS now, too cool.
The greatest Bronco game this century hands down, I don’t care what anyone says!
You’re buzzed, you’re out and you have the grand -kid ? Which part are you making up ?
For those who doubted, you suck!!
Hey Bay are you a little stoked about the game and Tebow? Just kidding LOL.
I’m not out, I watched this one home and my wife just came home with the grand-kid after the game. She is smart enough to let me have my Bronco space. I had all my 4 navy jerseys hanging all around the TV and my navy 3 ft x 5 ft Bronco flag plus assorted paraphanelia and the sound turned up so loud on the 650 watts system I was smack in the middle of the stadium.
And I don’t know why I bothered to answer you anyway since I’m going to spend time with family now.
And no reason to converse with the ones here who can lay it on thick but when time comes to answer questions are AWOL.
This was an awsome game. Absolutely awsome!!!
So proud of our boys!!! Great day to be a BRONCOS FAN in BRONCOS COUNTRY!!! Love it!!!!
