The cuts don`t really bother me.

Neither shall I Sec! HaHa!!
I am loving the chance to see PM going up against a great Defense!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really Strand? I go around sick at my stomach the whole week. It happens this time of year every year.
Me either! Not a minute!!!
I trust John Elway beast. Don’t worry!!! He’s got our back!
I hope they pull PM if our O-Line can’t hold against them.
I love what I see so far from our starting Defense……..
B.F.E………OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOODNIGHT BRONCOS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!
What makes me sick is when a player goes down with a serious injury as is placed on IR. Major Bummer!!
I hear Tebow won;t be playing tomorrow.
DB…our O-Line will hold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard the same. Hmmmm
It would’ve been nice if the players would’ve have accepted the rule change for trade deadline and IR players
How ya doing Cat?
Tebow or Sanchez either will be playing…because it is their 4th game.the 4th game is for the youngsters!!!!!!!!!
Ryan’s words were, “Tebow will not be playing along with the rest of the 1st string.” Huh??? Hmmmm….is right!
There’s a report on ESPN stating the Ryan is sitting Tebow for game 4
Great to see ya Sec!
How did it get to be their 4th game – what did I miss?
DeCastro is out with ACL and MCL injuries
Daddy, don’t know about the restaurants. But, transit is still world class, the stadium moved to the adjacent parking lot, airport is easily accessible, the highways make commuting so much easier…and I’m just a visitor a few time a year!
sBeFcE… I wasn’t born for diggin deep holes, wasn’t cut out, for highline poles but… I’m pretty good at that too!!!
I look very forward too seeing our #1s going against a great Defense……….YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also look forward too our # 1s Defense going against a good Offense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DB…their 3rd game was yesterday or Thursday…this coming Thursday will be game 4
LMFAO@SNDVL!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a crazy person. (Ryan)
But they’ll play tomorrow. Its only their third preseason game. I just looked at the schedule. The jets schedule.
15 1/2 hours until game time, minus a few minutes. LOL
Shoot – BANG! I gotta go look at some Tebow highlights. You all play nice. Have a great night!!!
Correct you are…I thought our beloved orange and blue had the only game tomorrow…I guess NBC wanted in on the SNF action.
I’m outta here…..glad too see you are still here tlc…….give my best to FTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Jets play Cam Newton tomorrow night after our game.
I don’t understand how I know the Jets schedule better than DB… I now want to hide! LOL
Bye SEC come back please!
Crazy stuff. LOL
That’s what I thought – Money, you had me going there for a minute…. now I have to go find out if Ryan’s reference was to game 4 or tomorrow’s game.
Daddy’s had enough. Good night all!
Gotcha Cat! LOL!!!
DB reference was to NEXT week against the eagles. Good decision.
Strand is it the twilight zone in here?
No tlc…it is SNL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to tlc,Kod,FTR,and OC for the stupid comments last night……you’ll know me better than that!!!!!!!!
SEC I wasn’t offended by anything don’t worry.
Wuuuutt?? I think they should be worried about our awesome D!!!!.. aha
Tebows performance tonight… 11-25 135 yards 2 picks.
Mannings: 25-32 260 yards 1 td 1 pick
That should get the blog going when everyone wakes up lol
Ill even give Tebow 6 rushes for 40 yards
Game day Broncos Country!!! Here’s my wish list for today:
-establish the run early
-limit (or eliminate) the dropped passes
-display improvement with the no huddle (we have to be patient, it’s takes time)
-effectively control their run game
-sound tackling
-swarm the QB
-win the turn over battle
The perfect day for me would be to watch the Denver Broncos grant me my wish list, and handle the 49ers with ease, and then watch the Jets struggle, and fail to score a TD yet again!!
I like your list OT, for me, number one on that list will be the turnovers… I liked having the lead last week after being minus 3 on the turnovers but I would like to see what the scoreline would look like if we were plus 3!! GO BRONCOS!!!
Id say the latter of your perfect day is almost guaranteed lol. Even with the extra quarter of work they will get lol
You have just entered, The Broncos Blog Twilight Zone! LOL
Hey Strand, what are you looking forward to most out of todays game?
For our Defense to hold the 49ers with no TD`s. Keep them out of the endzone, especially our first string Defense.
