Who was the rookie DE that played for the Bears last night,he wasn’t that good!
SEC can’t go wrong with Elway or Manning
The Bears defense was awful without their starters and ours was pretty decent without our starters.
Shea McClellin. Hes going through a rough adjustment period. Hes not used to his hand on the ground. And thats what he is doing for the Bears.
Iggy will be good for the Nuggets… We have some good shooters, we needed defense.
tlc….JE or PM……..WIN WIN either way!!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nuggies have good young players who can shoot but have work to do still. Adding Fournier will help and Gallo will improve. Iggy will step up as a true leader of the team too.
What is your nickname for Elway? We have The Neck, but we ought to have one for Elway so we can put them together seeing as how they will always be linked now.
AB…..McClellin is weak dude….he needs to hit the weights bro!
I wanted him,but didn’t realize he was that weak,glad we got Wolfe!!!!!!!!!
I was mad about helping the Lakers yesterday, but I’m over it. Because we still might be able to beat them with all the drama in LA now.
Elway has always been known as “the Duke”……
The Duke bone is connected to the neck bone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so the Duke and the Neck slingin it in Mile High. Like it!
Sorry tlc……I am a Lakers fan….have been since like 1980!!!!!!!!
Did it seem to everyone, or just me, that Siliga played a lot. I think he did well and hope he makes the squad.
Yea he needs to hit the weights some but he was never a bull rush player. He used his speed and athleticism to get to the QB and in the backfield but with him having his hand on the ground and being asked to take a blocker for the rushing LB isnt what he should be used for.
Cat I dont see why they did. I mean they nearly beat LA last year and now I dont think they can. Howard is going to bully McGee and Faried in the paint.
wolfe….I hope Siliga makes the squad,I think he can be a Beast!!!!!!!!!
SEC, I’m never going to be a Lakers fan, but that’s ok. We don’t have to agree On everything!
AB… Well, we will see! I’m trying to be hopeful.
Cat LA also improved their bench a lot which was their biggest weak spot. LAL OKC may have a different outcome this year. BUT Thats a long ways away…..BACK TO FOOTBALL!!!!!
tlc,I can’t help it I grew up a Lakers fan,but we can still be BFFs…….LOL!
Because we are Denver Broncos and PM fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AB….That’s right back to football…..who thinks that Decker will be top 5 this year?????????????
MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
I DO!!!!
I really cant give it a break Omon deserves a chance with the 1st and 2nd strings vs the 1st and 2nd strings!!!!
Agreed bro!!!!!!!!!!!
Omon deserves a chance and should beat out Moreno and I know I only saw him for a half of a football game, but WOOOOOAHHH!!
The best part of it all b e a s t? Those two things aren’t in opposition anymore!!! LOL used to be, but not anymore! GO BRONCOS!!!
WHHOOOOOAAAAAAH…..IS MY WORD…LOL.
I know, but that’s how I feel about Xavier Omon!!
tlc….I .watched PM grow as a college QB into an NFL QB,into the best NFL QB of all time girl,4 time NFL MVP….if he stays healthy(I believe he will) he will have all the QB records in 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just FYI, if you go watch the Broncos TV clip from last night it looked like Peyton was the one leading the pregame huddle.
cheer and all!
Omon should be at least 3rd string backup to McGahee and Hillman…..and Moreno should have to fight Omon for 3rd spot,imo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t known him as long as you, just since the end of his college career and since he’s been a Colt, but he good stuff as I always say! LOL
tlc…PM…..is the Offensive leader on the field we have needed since JE…..he will take us very far!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peyton Manning……..A FOOTBALL GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace out Broncos Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
