1.000
The Broncos are 6-0 on the road against the AFC West over the past two years.

4
Kicker Matt Prater converted all four of his field goal attempts against the Raiders to tie a career high. Thursday marked the fifth game in which Prater has converted four field goals.

5
Linebacker Von Miller has forced five fumbles in the past five games and is tied with defensive end Elvis Dumervil (2012) and S Dennis Smith (1989) for the most in team history for a single season. Miller and Dumervil are tied for second in the NFL this season in that category.

6
Miller recorded a sack in his sixth consecutive game to set a new career long streak.

16
Miller notched his 16th sack of the season on Sunday against the Raiders, which ranks second on the Broncos single-season record list.

34
Broncos CB Champ Bailey picked off a pass from Carson Palmer in the first quarter on Thursday at Oakland to tie DB Tyrone Braxton for the fourth most interceptions (34) in team history. The interception was the 52nd of Bailey’s career, which represents the most by a cornerback since his rookie season in 1999.

70
Quarterback Peyton Manning topped the 300-yard mark for the 70th time in his career to extend his own NFL record in that category.

100
Running back Knowshon Moreno finished Thursday’s win at Oakland with a career-high 32 carries for 119 yards with one touchdown to mark his third career 100-yard game.

5,000
Manning became just the second player in NFL history to complete 5,000 passes and did so in the fewest games (221).

    AB, that would be cool. Now Im getting excited, and we haven’t even got to the playoffs yet. LOL

  2. strandoftds82 says:

    Wow! The Ravens are jumping the gun to quick. They are panicking. HaHa!!

  3. alaskanbronco06 says:

    OT I think we will resign Vickerson as well. And Unrein. Since he is a ERFA he either has to take a 3 year vet min or he quits the NFL. Cant go sign with another team.

    LOL Strand I am always getting excited for the offseason even in June the year before LOL but what makes it better? Is that we are fighting for the #2 seed now!

  4. strandoftds82 says:

    I like both Dreesen and Tamme. I’m happy with both of them.

  5. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Strand nothing football related but Star Wars lol but did you see George Lucas sold everything to Disney and they are planning to make an episode 7 8 and 9?

  6. strandoftds82 says:

    Dude, I’m stoked!! YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

  7. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Plus we have Green and Thomas sitting at TE too.

  8. strandoftds82 says:

    I did. That’ll be cool. I can hardly wait.

  9. alaskanbronco06 says:

    It will be cool. They want to bring back Carrie Fischer Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill to play the big three.

  10. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Ryan Clady is ranked #1 Free Agent for this upcoming season.

  11. strandoftds82 says:

    AB, this will get a laugh out of ya. about 10 years ago I bought a R2D2 battery operated robot that is 1′ 6″ tall and is voice opereted that makes all of R2′s whistles. His head turns and moves nicely on hardwood or tile floors. Its awesome. I’ll keep it forever. LOL

  12. strandoftds82 says:

    Clady will remain a Bronco. I’m not the slightest concerned there.

  13. OTbroncos says:

    Our DL is not in that bad shape IMO. Don’t forget about about Jason Hunter, who is 29 as well. He was playing lik a man possessed before he got hurt. I could see a DT, but I’m not sure if I’d take one ahead of a MLB. Or a game changing slot WR.

  14. strandoftds82 says:

    And I’m not much of a Sci Fi fan, but I love STAR WARS.

  15. alaskanbronco06 says:

    That is very cool! Lol I dont know if its still there but in Grand Junction CO on main street they had a mailbox painted like R2-D2.

    Now you want to talk being clutch R2-D2 is clutch! LOL he got them out of so many situations where they wouldve died LOL

  16. strandoftds82 says:

    I’d like Vickerson back for next year.

  17. strandoftds82 says:

    They Make the movie R2 and C3PO. Crazy huh? LOL

  18. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Im not either Strand. I just love how he is rated #1. Ahead of Jake Long lol

    OT Thing is we dont have a DT that can really push the pocket. Yea it doesnt always show but it would make our D so much better. And with only having one under contract for next year and then maybe bringing back any of our FAs there makes DT our biggest need. Even more than MLB or slot WR. Both of which are needs not arguing they arnt but not more so than DT to me.

  19. strandoftds82 says:

    I heard that Solo wants to die in this next movie. Yikes!

  20. strandoftds82 says:

    As of this moment I’m vying for DT John Jenkins in the 1st round.

  21. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Lol Strand!

    Vickerson has been solid this year.

    But to me we still need a big DT that can really push the pocket keeping the QB from stepping up (Im getting like a broken record lol) andyways OT one thing you said that stands out is with Hunter. He is a pretty solid player and good and getting pressure. Makes me wonder on when he comes back on if he will take the starting edge opposite Doom and move Wolfe inside and that Wolfe is only starting there due to the injury to him.

  22. sndvl says:

    Hahahahahahaha! I’m sorry, but I find it hilarious that SD is still in the playoff hunt at 5-8. It would be typical SD fashion to win out, saving Norv’s job.

  23. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Strand the interesting thing is they want it to take place 40 years after ROTJ which from their book series is when Jacen Solo (Son of Leia and Han) becomes a Dark Lord and causes a galaxy civil war. Which if that is when they are doing it would be cool.

  24. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Lol sndvl another funny thing is the Jets are in the race as well

  25. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Jenmins is huge! Measured anywhere from 335 to 367 pounds throughout this past year. That is BEEF!!! And to me he is a lot more talented than Poe!

  26. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Jenkins not Jemins lol

  27. strandoftds82 says:

    Give us Beef! LMAO!!

  28. strandoftds82 says:

    Man, I didn’t know that. Now did Lucas wright those? I know he wrote 1-9 all together. I’m I right?

  29. strandoftds82 says:

    The last I heard Jenkins is at 358 lbs. HaHa, its a number. LOL

  30. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yea 7 8 and 9 are said to be based off of original writings from Lucas but that was before the books series. So I dont know if his script writings were what the book series was based off of or if he let them go another way from them.

  31. strandoftds82 says:

    Sndvl, if S.D. some how gets into the playoffs, I’ll flip a lid. That would be a neat trick. LOL

  32. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yea on CBSsports he is listed 358.

  33. strandoftds82 says:

    I hope they stick with the script of George Lucas. I bet what you said earlier is just that. Anyway, either way, it should be great.

  34. strandoftds82 says:

    Man, I want the Texans to win tonight! Come On Houston!

  35. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yes strand it should be. Normally Lucas based to book series off of his plans so I think the movies will involve what happens in the book series. Im excited for them.

  36. strandoftds82 says:

    Who is the director the first film?

  37. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Strand all of Broncos country im sure is rooting for a Houston win tonight.

  38. strandoftds82 says:

    I’m thinking aloud. LMAO!!

  39. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Strand they supposedly have the list down to five for the director

    John Favreau (Iron Man)
    Andrew Stanton (Wall-e Finding Nemo)
    Joe Johnston (Captain America)
    Duncan Jones (Only has done two moves one of them Source Code)

    and Matthew Vaughn who was working on the X-men first class sequel (Marvel also owned by Disney) but he “quit” just a few days before Disney bought LucasFilm so their speculating he left to prepare for Star Wars.

  40. HandofDOOM says:

    If houston doesn’t win, Then Houston could potentially lose 2 more games this season as well.. as they play indy 2 times. So if they don’t find a way to get us to 2nd, dont feel too bad.

  41. strandoftds82 says:

    N.E. RB Edleman on IR.

  42. strandoftds82 says:

    I hope its either Vaughn or Favreau.

  43. alaskanbronco06 says:

    New blog btw.

  44. alaskanbronco06 says:

    Yea Strand I would love Vaughn or Favreau. Johnston wouldnt be a bad choice either.

    Doom even if Houston wins they could still potentially lose two more games….

  45. HandofDOOM says:

    would’t really help us since they have the tie breaker now would it.
