		<description>If the Broncos can run the ball consistantly, and play some good D they will win this game. The Oline is playing well perticularlly in the pass blocking, if the line keeps working on thier run blocking they could once again be one of the ellite Olines in the NFL. I agree the future is bright for this young TEAM!
P.S. There is more than one rookie Ryan on that Oline playing well.</description>

		<description>Hey Adam, I mean “hey baileythebronco clady is awesome” :o)  couldn&#039;t resist, sorry.  Clady and the O-line are so steady I almost forget about them like another day at the ballpark mentality and keeping the flies of Cutler.

monodono and rustycletis, everyone needs a little push or kick from time to time but I&#039;ve yet to see a perfect football game played on either side of the ball, close.... but there&#039;s also only been one perfect season, so you have to take the good with the bad and it this case with all the injuries, &quot;I&#039;M SAYING&quot; it&#039;s still a long season but after what I saw Sunday, the futures so bright I have to WEAR SHADES!!!

On Lowry...give the guy a chance.  I saw what you all did but his first start is something to build on and be coached on.  Rookie mistakes can kill you but you have to start somewhere....we all did.  Let&#039;s see how we fair against the Raiders and I&#039;m a little shocked no one has jumped on that yet.  Big running game so it will be a good game before the Jets to get the kinks out before we see the FARVE man!!

I had to repeat this.........47rocksurworld, said &quot;Once again Cutler steps up and delivers, starting to feel like Cutler town and no longer Elwayville!&quot;  WOW.......hmmmmm.</description>

		<description>There sure are a lot of people chaging their mind real quick about Mike Shannahan and the defense after Sunday.  The defense did look much, much, much better this week, and they should be proud of their performance.  However, this has never really been about Mike Shannahan.  People like to blame the coach, but he hasn&#039;t been the one missing his gap all year.  I have never agreed with the people calling for Shanny&#039;s job, but I agree with monodono that even the coaches need to be questioned at times.  One or 2 games doesn&#039;t mean anything, but a bunch of games does.  I&#039;m glad to see the defense slowly progressing, and I think the coaching staff has done a good job adjusting things.  We finally seem to be getting away from the 3-4 looks.  We had a hard enough time getting QB pressure with 4 or 5, so rushing 3 made no sense.  Either way, the coaches deserve credit.  I will say it is about time though.  We are lucky our offense carried us through the first 3 wins and the win against Cleveland, or our season would have been long over.  I&#039;m glad the young guys are getting a chance to show what they can do as well.  Veterans have been missing their assignments all year long, but nothing was done.  At least the injuries have allowed guys to step up.  I hate to say it, but the new guys aren&#039;t any more talented than the vets, but they aren&#039;t missing their assignments as much.  That is what we need.  Before our talented starters at LB were hurt, we sucked against the rush.  Now we are suddenly doing better and guys are where they should be.  I say let them keep playing if the vets keep sucking.  I&#039;m not naive because I realize the line has also played better.  However, I consistently saw our starting LB out of place, and I haven&#039;t seen this with the young guys.

The rushing defense has looked much better the last 3 games, but this was really the first real overall good D performance.  It is still just one game.  We need consistency.  This D has a lot of room for improvement.  I just hope all the people jumping on the bandwagon won&#039;t jump off as quickly as they jumped on.  I&#039;m still living in reality.  We played one good defensive game, but we still have about 8 other really poor outings.  Good job this week, but do it a few times in a row to make me a believer.

On a final note.  It is crazy to see all the people who love Mike Shannahan now that just last week were dogging him.  I believe Mike is a good coach that occasionally needs a kick in the butt to make adjustments.  He didn&#039;t deserve all the firing talk before.  Either way, I hope all the people falling in love with Mike again will stay that way because this week by week evaluation of our coach is nuts.  Some people hate him for 9 weeks and suddenly love him today.  Nut jobs.</description>

		<description>First, I think that both Larsen and Woodyard have taken the starting spots. Second, bring back Josh Barret, he has freakish athleticism, it would not hurt to try him for a bot at safety. Hopefully the Full contact practices would make him better at hitting people. Loved the O. Jay Cutler is so poised.</description>
