    The Denver broncos need to draft these players Dee Miller CB Alabama 6’1, Malliciah Googman DE Clemson 6’4, Jonathan Bostic ILB Florida 6’1, Marcus Davis WR Virginia Tech 6’4 in this years NFL draft. The bronco scouts need to really look at these players and draft them.

    Wow! I didn’t realize DMT is beasting it…

    Keep up the great work! Fix the fumble issue & showcase the package next Monday.

    Huge game too. And after our brutal stretch of these first 5, we can still grab the division lead!

    Broncos Country Strong 2012!

    there were a lot of. negatives in that game. kind of a heart breakert. but,

    unlike last year this game was actually competitive. there were a few opportunities for us to take this game. respect for the pats execution, but two redzone fumbles and the fourth down mcgahee drop more than accounts for the 10 point differential.

    that 3rd and 17 woodhead first down was particularly painful.

    Tough Fight Broncos!! We’ll get um’ next time!!!

    D.T is a beast…and to think Stephen Hill thinks he was better than him coming out of G-Tech.. pffft!!

    Keep it up Mr. Manning.. our boys will fight with you to the end…

    Kudos to our our Defense,…although we kinda got gashed in the running game, my wish came through.. GRONK WAS NOT A FACTOR….IMO…

    Lets work on that Run D… I love how Wolfe got another sack.. our trio of defensive front studs is coming through…

    @Guron35
    If you must talk draft then what we need is to find a legitimate starting MLB to replace Joe Mays. One that can actually cover a TE.
    Like
    Manti Te’o, MLB (Notre Dame)
    or
    Alec Ogletree, MLB (Georgia)

    Maybe a DT, some OL depth and a few others.

    But we are getting gashed pretty much because of Joe Mays right now. Not sure why he is even in the game in a third and long situation, he is just that bad in coverage.

    The wins will come. Were putting up big numbers. We need to learn how to win against the elite teams if we want to win a Championship. It’s still a process in the beginning stages with Peyton and the O learning his STYLE of play. We got to stop fumbling first and foremost. And we need to stop the opposition on 3rd down whether it’s 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 25. You’ll lose every game if you can’t stop a team on 3rd and forever. Rather pathetic on 3rd downs with the Defense of ours, a stinking joke. Fix those 2 problems and we’ll be fine.

    @RH709:

    I am so happy somebody else wants Manti Teo (ILB) to the Broncos… I like Ogletree also and wouldnt mind him but I lived in Hawaii for a while and Teo was a beast..even now in Notre Dame.
