After Week 16, the AFC West title chase has been narrowed down to just Denver and the Oakland Raiders. San Diego and Kansas City were both eliminated from contention with their losses at Detroit and vs. Oakland, respectively.
The Broncos can clinch the AFC West crown with either a win versus Kansas City or an Oakland loss versus San Deigo. Denver would also clinch if it ties against Kansas City and the Raiders lose or tie against the Chargers.
Denver and Oakland are currently tied atop the division with 8-7 records, but Denver owns the relevant tiebreakers, meaning that the Raiders need to finish with a better record than the Broncos to win the division.

The 1977 team was the first – what a thrill that was … I never thought the Broncos would play in the Super Bowl – that was reserved for the “Yankees” of this world … (I actually grew up thinking the Yankees played in the World Series every year, because they did) … after you’ve suffered through mediocre year after mediocre year, to finally make it is exillerating … but Denver has always been behind the Broncos – I mean really behind them … what’s going on now seems almost surreal … we’ve truly had some BAD QBs – never one as polarizing as this one … it’s really hard to determine what Tebow’s future is … I mean – he does have major physical ability … it’s just that he “doesn’t fit the mold” … I mean, he reminds me of Hillis, w/ his hard-headed running … lately, though, they must be telling him – DON’T RUN LIKE THAT … so – there goes the option … truth is – EFX doesn’t want the option either … they’re using it now because that’s all they trust Tebow with … but already it’s in evolution … Tebow’s evolution … I’m just not sure what they’ll have when they get him changed into what they want … or even if he can be changed … can you imagine Tebow being Elway?? … is that the goal?? … you have the desire – the physical man – but it all comes down to what’s in the head … I do think that’s where the changes have to come … Tebow must learn to THINK like Elway … the rest will follow … I’m just not convinced it can be done … but the kid has shown – “tell me what you want, I’ll give it to you” … how many of you, in your mind’s eye, can envision what the Tebow of 5 – 6 years down the road, has become … can you picture him directing a game?? … truth is – many of you thought – “Just give Tebow the rest of the year, and find out what we’ve got” … well – he’s had the rest of the year – and I still believe we don’t know what we’ve got … we do know that he’s probably not a bust … we also know that for him to become a polished NFL QB is going to take LOTS of hard work, tutoring, and growth … so – we really don’t know a lot more than when we started … how’s that???
True in many ways Wiemin. It takes most QB’s a few years to develop and learn. I think Tim truely wants to be what the coaches and Elway want him to be. He is working harder than anyone and I think with an off season working with Elway and his coaches and the receivers I think we will all be surprised at the progress. IMO the biggest thing that Tim had to over come is the complete change in his throwing motion. With work and repetition he will get better. If after this next year he doesn’t seem to improve maybe then Denver can choose to move on. It only took John Elway 10 years to win a superbowl.
I hope the Chargers can win. I really don’t like our chances against the CHEFS. Their D has played so good since we last played them. Look what they did. They beat GB, took the Steelers, Raiders to the wire.They have not allowed a team 20 points in a long time. This is Orton’s Super Bowl. He can get revenge on every fan that has booed him the past few years, the team that benched him. I did not want our playoff hopes to come down to this game. Tebow has to know when to throw the ball away or just run . Way way too many TOs the past 4 games 12 i think. Miller need to show why he was drafted #2 overall.
It really upsets me that when the new Mile High was built that they did not put up a Elway statue like miami , chicago and other places have done.
Merry Chrismas everyone. Hope everyone had a great relaxing day–including our Broncos. A big thank you to the whole Broncos blog staff for the gift of this forum, you are appreciated

Merry christmas everyone in broncos country! All I want for Christmas is a good quarterback, a good dt and a free safety. And for Von millers cast to come on off that dang arm (& that better be what’s wrong there). Not saying those guys are not already on the team, just saying if they are it’s time to show up cuz we need you desperately if we’re gonna do a dam thing in the playoffs.
If we lose to the Bills and Chiefs we have no business in the playoffs anyway!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! Disappointing loss yesterday, it stung more than the NE loss for me. I still continue to believe in this particular team…they believe in each other! We’ve got some flaws, but we’re also young Here’s to a bright future!
B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
its playoff time for the broncos! win and were in dont put your season in the hands of the chargers! if we can beat KC and go into the playoffs and have another home game if we could pull off the wild card home game that could launch the broncos on a special run confidence is huge in football and so is momentum, i dont no what it is right now but i have a strong feeling the broncos are on the urge of a special run that will be talked about for ever the team that shouldnt of been there did the unthinkable believe this or not i do #BelieveInTheBroncos
For the first time in my life I will be cheering for both Denver and San Diego. Go Broncos and Bolts (for now)!!!!
I still believe in this team when we play our game, option trickeration mixed with some passing and not turning the ball over. We have gotten far away from that, and that is what kept teaams on their heels. But I still believe this team is not as bad as the last 2 weeks have shown.
I just want us to end the playoff drought and build from their.
I repeat, defense defense defense, that’s what we need to draft. And maybe pick up a veteran reciever. Please make royal the permanent returner. A ST td is the difference make alot.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Years. Go Broncos. Later days TRB
Wiemin, some good points, but I feel I have a decent feel for Tebow. Here’s what I think I know about Tebow’s progress:
-He plays conservatively. Meaning he doesn’t take a lot of risks throwing the ball. Hence his low interception rate.
-He is more accurate then I thought he was and what he’s advertised to be, but still misses occasional throws. Sometimes when we need them. Some of these misses are due to my point above…meaning that I think he makes sure only his guy will catch it, but that equates to no one catching it.
-He holds on to the ball too long and misses hot routes. Something that he can overcome with experience. If not, he’ll be an average QB forever. Rogers did this his first year as well, and we know what he has become.
-He makes plays with his feet. I’d like to stop calling Tebow runs and move towards just letting him scramble when needed. We’re going to get him hurt. It’s only a matter of time.
-He’s got “happy feet” which puts him out of position to throw the ball at times. Something that I see many young QB’s needing to overcome.
-He’s clutch. We’ve all seen his come from behind antics. A rarity for a young QB.
All in all I feel I have seen enough to confidently say I’m happy moving forward with him for 2012. IMO, any young QB who shows promise deserves at least 3 years. By then, you usually know what you’ve got. I think he’s had an equal or better year then many of the young QB’s in our league over the last 5 years.
Another relevant thought to consider that is obvious but cannot be over-stated is the fact we have lost the turnover battle the last two weeks 7-0… Seven turnovers in two weeks, five of which are on Tebow (and still he averages less than one per game this year) is a horrible stat, but do you know what else I find to be an equally horrible stat… the 0… we have not forced a single turnover or put Tebow and the offense in ANY favorable spots… now you can plainly see why Orton was so inaffective regardless of how many 300 yard games he chucked, when playing off your heels it is hard to make any type of forward progress…
Tebow is young, but he is special. Once upon a time young QB’s had years to develope, and people would accept the good with the bad… In today’s world where information comes in thirty second sound bytes, with the ridiculous price of tickets/merchandise and the fact that first round picks make multiple millions people expect results NOW…
Good teams are grown from the ground up, and then aged like fine wine… It takes 3 years to make a GOOD team with depth and consistency and then if your lucky you can keep that team together for 5-8 years depending on many factors… All things considered I think things are looking very good in year one… with a shot at taking a 1-4 team to playoff contention which is not a small accomplishment.
I will agree with Bay when he says he wants the best product possible on the field, and as a fan I won’t quit liking the Broncos franchise for any reason short of them leaving town. We as Bronco fans are spoiled (not the most spoiled mind you, but spoiled) to the point that we were use to going to one Superbowl every 3.6 years on average from ’77-’99.
We were spoiled getting a great prospect like Cutler, and I like many was very sad to see him go. We were more spoiled to get Tebow, who is as rare a commodity as there is in professional sports, and that is a leader that brings people to his level of competitive excellence…
My point is basically this, don’t get to caught up in what you want personally. We have a common goal and that is to win football games and not to look pretty doing it. Elway had great talent around him a majority of his career ’92-’96 being possible exceptions. Tebow has the same talent that went 4-12 last season, minus the leagues leading reciever (who’s trade I still think was a good business move). We are one TE away from being a really difficult offense to defend and two Drafts away from being a dominant defense…
Lot’s of hard times in Bronco Country have bred frustration, but I hope that we can agree that the best option for now is to fully support the players that are here next week and try to help them win the division and get into the playoffs…
I believe in the power of positive thinking, and that the human mind does create energy… I also believe in the Broncos and Tim Tebow… He can’t do it by himself, and people should not expect him to…
VON TEBOW FOOTBALL… Just believe!!!

Official score prediction contest week 16 results:
You guys in Bronco Country gave me the best Christmas present of all, absolutely zero work and zero math in figuring out the contest winners this week because we had only one guy picking Buffalo to win and since you have to pick the right team to win to place and collect points, it was sweeeeeet. Thanks again for making my Christmas merry. But Bronco football wise not so merry, LOL. Obviously all the rest of us Bronco fans are total idiots, I included so I’m allowed to say that haha, since we all thought this was a shoe in game no way we’d lose that, a walk in the park and a division win and a playoff spot. Bottom line is we know NOTHING. And we also have real bad memory even so it was just three years ago, 2008, three games to play, win only one of those you win the division and are playoff bound, eerily the same exact thing, two chances already exhausted, N-E and the Bills, one chance left, KC, aptly called Orton’s SB by tnalen66. Now I realize I know nothing like the rest of us, LOL, but I know one thing, this game scares the bejesus out of me, but I’m sure the greater mass of Bronco Country is going to predict a no brainer win for this one once again. Let’s hope you all know what you’re talking about this time….. LOL.
1st place:
S.D.Bronco30 21-24, the only blogger picking us to lose and therefore collecting the 7 points. However no congratulations will be extended to this blogger whatsoever because the only reason he made that pick is purely out of superstition since he thinks when he picks us to lose we win. Well I got news for you big boy, LOL, your superstition doesn’t work worth a crap, twice in a row now you pick us to lose and we actually do, so please stop this nonsense immediately! LMAO. He now has 4 points overall, no thanks to a previous WOS.
The Wall of Shame, now this one was more work and I would have to agree all heartily with shaztah that the whole bunch of us Bronco lunatics should get on that wall as a group and cover ourselves in utter shame, but obviously the wall isn’t big enough for that, so we have to look at the bloggers who were even crazier than the rest of us, and I found two this week and those are dandies, haha. Get this, they both thought we would win this game by a mere 3 TDs, that’s right 21 points!!! And we lost by nearly 4 TDs (26 points), SO THOSE POOR SOULS WERE BASICALLY 7 TDs SPREAD OFF, LMAO!!!!!!!!!! They are lonewolf7 38-17, hate to see that happen to such a nice guy, and risky305 24-3, with a handle like that no wonder that’s were you end up, LOL. Subsequently both get the dreaded minus 5 points each.
And with all that we got no change up top.
This is how we stand Top Twenty overall after 16 weeks:
1. oldsouthstander, 25 points
2. timmah, 14
3. thecladybunch, 12
4. Pdp1408, 11
5. killekod, 10
Tie for 6th. BroncoRoyaltyEst.1979, RabidOrange, Orange_Crusher , baylinorcrush, all with 9 points.
10. lonewolf7, 8 points
Tie for 11th. raidrhadr, broncosmex, MANDIEGO, alexanserg, denver0723, rayjr26, Denver15, Atwater4HOF, minidisaa, mikew007, all with 7 points.
Score predictions for the KC game are now open and will be taken until Saturday midnight blog time, no picks on Gameday ever, no exceptions.
Good luck to everyone!
And to the Broncos most of all, they are going to need it!

Anyway, what I was here for is to ask the experts here what you all think about our safety situation. It is not as bad as McCree and Manual, but one of McD’s upgrades is already gone and Fox’s two aren’t looking all that much better. With the latest news of Dawkins neck injury possibly being a cereer ending one, do you guys think we have to continue drafting safeties till we hit on one(possibly even go into the first round) or FAs like Lynch and Dawkins?
Like I always say Legwold is the most knowledgeable Bronco writer we have anywhere and he proves it once again after writing that article I posted here last week about our weakness with the nickel package and he was absolutely dead on about it for this game too:
The Bills showed early and often Saturday they had done their homework on the Broncos’ defense.
After seeing the Bears run for 92 yards against the Broncos’ nickel package (five defensive backs) and then seeing the Patriots run for 114 yards against the nickel last week, the Bills chose to put the Broncos in the nickel early in the game and then pound away.
The Bills had 13 rushing attempts against the Broncos’ nickel package before the third quarter drew to a close and gained 103 yards on those carries — that’s 7.9 yards per run. It was a total that included runs of 38 and 26 yards by C.J. Spiller, who went on to finish the day with his first career 100-yard rushing game.
All 13 of those carries came against the Broncos’ nickel that included three down linemen and three linebackers, with Von Miller usually lined up as a stand-up defensive end.
However, after watching the damage the Bills had inflicted, Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen made a change beginning with the last play of the third quarter. Allen took Miller out of the lineup and inserted defensive end Jason Hunter, going with a four-man front, with all four linemen down in three-point stances, to go with linebackers Wesley Woodyard and D.J. Williams and the five defensive backs.
The results were better against the run, but it also put Miller, the team’s sack leader, on the sideline.
And he’s been there before and absolutely belongs there from time to time. He is a great player with humongous potential but his play against the running game not respecting the gaps is right down awful, I still have vision of that gaping hole he left for Spiller to run rigth through for his like 6 yard TD run. Yuk that was.
Good morning everyone. I received a great gift from my daughter. She bought me a pair of reading glasses and the sad part is that I have been fighting getting any for about a year now. I was insisting that I did not need them since I have had perfect vision my entire life. I WAS WRONG! I put those things on and I could really see the difference. I could actually read the small print on stuff. I guess I have been fighting my age for too long. BTW can anyone answer me why when I wear them and just walk around I get dizzy? I know this is not a football topic but a new experience for me. Thanks all.
Use reading glasses only for reading, they are not made for anything else, they will distort your long range vision therefore making you feel unsteady when walking therefore dizzy like.
Tebow exposed. Legwold reports from Buffalo:
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Call it the football theory of evolution, but with each passing week, opposing defenses have adapted a little more to Tim Tebow at quarterback for the Broncos.
So much so that the Bills, who had a seven-game losing streak when Saturday’s game against Denver began, believed they cracked the code.
“We knew if we could make (Tebow) one dimensional by stopping the run, there was no way we were going to allow him to come out and throw the ball and beat us with his arm,” safety George Wilson said after the Bills routed the Broncos 40-14 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
“Tebow just dropped back and threw it to where we thought he was going to throw it,” said safety Jairus Byrd .
In the heat of the playoff race, the previously red-hot Broncos have lost their past two games by 18 and 26 points.
In those losses, including a 41-23 pounding by the Patriots, defenses have kept Tebow hemmed in with more controlled looks in the pass rush and limited his impact in the running game. The second-year quarterback is only 24-of-52 passing in Denver’s past two games — that’s 46 percent accuracy — with four interceptions and a lost fumble.
And as opposing defenses continue to squeeze Tebow to keep him in the middle of the field, he has started to hold the ball again, being sacked 12 times in the past three games. The Bills sacked him three times.
Buffalo’s sacks come with a particular warning label for the Broncos since the Bills were held without a sack in five games this season. In short, if the Broncos have any tricks left in the bag on offense, now’s the time to use them.
The Bills, particularly cornerback Drayton Florence , were quick to point out that Buffalo defensive coordinator George Edwards emphasized throughout the week the situations the Broncos would run their option look with Tebow. The Bills simply stuck to the plan.
“Our defensive ends did a great job of being aware of that and knowing how they were going to attack us,” Florence said.
Fox and McCoy:
I hope you guys are paying attention, just one game left to make it right, because if we lose this one and back into the playoffs with a Raider loss and on a three game losing streak, I don’t even want to envision what that first playoff game would look like, seriously.
Thanks Bay, good info.
You know after watching the last 2 chief’s games I see Orton still struggling to get it in the endzone. FG after FG after FG. Guess it wasn’t just here.
For the fans who follow the Broncos religiously this will remind you exactly of what happened after our 6-0 start under McD when we started losing games in bunches:
Most of the players who surrounded Bailey in the team’s cramped locker room at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday have not prepared for, chased or played in a postseason game in their time with the team.
And it has shown at times over the last two weeks as a youthful roster with a rebuilding franchise looks to be pressing, trying to make all the plays in one play.
“I hope not,” Bailey said. “I hope not. I think the bottom line is you do your job and trust the guy next to you to do his. When you do that game in, game out, you win games.
“We’ll see, but I would hope guys aren’t pressing now. But we need to just go out and play. We’re still in this thing. Get to work. That’s what everybody needs to do, just get to work.”
I sincerely hope you are right Bailey, you and Dawk were the guys saying we were pressing back under McD after the 6-0 start and that’s why everything went wrong, maybe this year is different, you would know better than us, but I would agree with Legwold, it definitely looks as we are pressing again, not respecting the gaps, doing other guys jobs, like when you were trying to line up the D and couldn’t concentrate on your own assignment on that pass you got beat bad on. It’s funny because I remember that it always was Renaldo Hill who used to vocally line up everyone on D from the safety position, he was very valuable that way even if his other skills were becoming average, and with Dawk out now it’s left to Bailey to orchestrate the secondary, troubling times to me, you can call me Debbie, I won’t care, LOL.
Yeah, but at this point the problem is we can get beat by FGs, 5 of them would of done that yesterday. And KC’s D against the run is way better than the Bills, which is what we rely on, the run. Sorry, can’t sugarcoat this match up whatsoever.
Legwold concurrs as to the difficulties this game will present:
The Broncos have erased most of the margin for error they had built with their six-game winning streak. The Chiefs (6-9) will come to Denver next weekend with an opportunity to knock the Broncos (8-7) out of the playoffs.
Kansas City also will come with a pretty good idea of what the Denver playbook looks like, because former Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton now plays for the Chiefs.
Orton was waived after the Broncos installed their option package, so a tweak or two may be in order for Denver this week.
The chief concern this week: The Chiefs, haha.
From Bucky Gleason, Buffalo news:
BUFFALO — Tim Tebow ‘s response to the worst game of his career was what you would expect coming from him. He thanked the man upstairs and talked about how excited he was to celebrate Christmas today. He smiled through the tough questions, never wavered and wished everyone a happy holiday.
No surprise there. Tebow is a class act and consummate role model who wouldn’t lose his temper, use foul language or criticize anyone. He showed no anger after the Bills sent him back to Denver with a stocking full of coal, a 40-14 walloping in Ralph Wilson Stadium that interrupted the Broncos’ march toward the playoffs.
Instead, he left in peace.
“First and foremost, I want to thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ,” Tebow said in his opening remarks. “Isn’t it great that no matter what, win or lose, we have a chance to celebrate my lord and savior’s birth tomorrow. That’s pretty cool. It’s something I’m very excited about, celebrating Christmas. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Tebow is a good man who is polished in every aspect of his life but one: His ability to play quarterback in the NFL. Heaven help his performance Saturday. The Bills exposed his flaws when it comes to making good decisions and accuracy. He had been hailed as a savior, but looked lost in the Broncos’ biggest game of the year.
Yes, I know, it’s Christmas. I might be a tad critical at times, but I’m no Grinch, either. Breaking down Tebow’s performance Saturday feels dirty, like ripping Santa Claus . It’s just that one of them happens to be a myth when it comes to the workplace, and it’s not the potbellied man in the red suit. It’s the sculpted quarterback wearing No. 15.
The best thing you could say about Tebow on Saturday was that he arrived in the holiday spirit while bearing many gifts. He threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter. He gift-wrapped the Bills’ their 26-point lead, and Buffalo’s win, with less than eight minutes remaining in the game.
OUCH!
No reason to sugar coat bay, the truth will & does hurt. Our o is coming to a halt, our d is losing their discipline, and we could be in trouble here. I do not want to be average or the team that stays just over .500 due to squeaking out wins here and there, all while backing into the playoffs. The only thing that little run by tebow and the broncos did was prolong the inevitable.
Bottom line is we are just not very good and it doesnt look like tebow will ever be any where near elite. I am not a football genius or anything but I can see the lack of qb talent from 400 miles away. I just don’t know how long the tebow-ites will stay in power here. We will never be where the broncos belong so long as he is the qb and that bugs the CRAP out of me. Of course as usual, I could be wrong. I hope I am.
prediction: Broncos win 24-6.
I think that Elway has been a little on the fence on this one since the 6 game winning streak but now he is most likely going back to his original plan which was play Tebow to satisfy the fans and after the experiment fails go bak with his long term plan bringing in a new QB, and that’s not me thinking that’s how he thinks, that was information obtained from inside the organization. If we lose Sunday and the Raiders win it will be a most easy decision, hence Tebow has NEVER been announced the starting QB by anyone in the organization. And even if they win the division, and specially if they back into it, I don’t think that will have much weight into Elway’s decision either. A playoff win? May be helpful, but they still bring in a QB to compete with Tebow. If I was a betting man, I would say right now Tebow is not it for Elway and the writing was on the wall the day Elway signed in. Sorry to all the Tebownites, maybe I’m completely off my marbles and have it all wrong.
This Broncos team exceeded expectations and gave us something to get excited about every Sunday since the change at QB. Most professional analysts never gave them a chance this season and picked them to be at the bottom of the AFC west. Here they are with a chance to win the division and go to the playoffs. This has been the most exciting season we’ve seen by the Broncos in years and it ain’t over yet. I know we can be the Chiefs at home with Bronco fans showing the kind of support that only happens a mile high. Like Tebow says, you just got to believe and great things can happen! Go Broncos!
Hey strand, I got an ac/dc DVD “let there be rock”. It’s their 1979 Paris concert remastered and it ROCKS. That was a good time for watching Angus go and it was before back in black so it was one of their best young, raw rock & roll performances. U gotta check it out if you havent already, I know you’d like it. bfe would too.
And strand doesn’t have to say a word, a score prediction and we all know how he thinks, LOL, good for you man.
imready, I don’t know how exciting an 8-7 season with a passing o ranked last in the league really is. Add an absolute stomping at the hands of the lions and bills and the fact we’ll have the worst playoff team record in the AFC if we get lucky enough to back in, and I just don’t get very excited. Sorry. I want more from the broncos. Alot more.
I do believe we win & get in tho.
Broncos 23
Chiefs 21
You’ve got to walk before you can run LBF. It’s going to take more than 6 months to build a dynasty. We got a great start on it, enjoy the ride. Go Broncos!
29-19
Any takers on the safty question?
The safety situation still sucks.
What about you bay? Is tebow for the broncos in your opinion?
I think this Sunday will show if this new group has more resolve than the team’s in recent past, which have failed down the stretch, missing the playoffs… Coffee is for closers boys…. No job on the roster is safe in the NFL, go out and earn it on Sunday…
I’m not a Tebow apologist by any means, but I’m skeptical about drafting a QB with a high draft pick, especially considering our draft position and with all our other pressing needs.. Barkley not coming out, together with how many teams need QB’s, the pickings will be slim for us… We already have a young QB going through going pains, I don’t see any sense doing that all over again next season.. A mid tier rookie QB does nothing for us IMO, especially in the media fire storm that is Tebow… I think the QB that has the best shot is already on our roster and was a former first rounder, he knows the system and has been around the block..
Let’s also not forget we were dead last in defense last year, and I’ve even read the media referring to us as have a “formidable defense” this year…. That is laughable IMO, we are at least one draft away on D, as well as getting a FA Safety who has a few years experience, but also not in the twilight of his career..
I know baylinorcrush, but do we go after another try in the draft or FA?
*BQ has the best shot (vs. a rookie QB) if for any reason we look to go in another direction, which I don’t think we will, but who the h3ll really knows…
Ya I guess imready, I’m prob being impatient. I really have no choice but to enjoy the ride bc I’m definitely takin it. I just wanna dominant team in Denver again. Now tho not later!
