Why you Absolutely Must Take Control of Your Subconscious for Permanent Weight loss

From the moment of birth your first emotional experiences establish your subconscious perceptions of the world. There is not a moment of the day or night that you are not affected by your emotions. More often than not it is your programmed emotional st…

Here’s what I think:
1. The reason for the close losses and even the large ones this year is due to both the youth on this team, as well as newcomers, including the coaches (Offense and Defensive Coordinators). Eventually, this team will come along, but sometimes to get better you must endure the hard times.
2. I think the root of the problems for the Denver Broncos is their drafting. The Denver Broncos are one of the worst drafting teams in the NFL when you look at how many people drafted remain with the team and start, etc. I think in the first round this year we should have traded up to get Patrick Willis. This dude, as a rookie, has 110 tackles so far, whereas the second most has 99. I like Jarvis Moss, but we already had a young, promising Elvis Dumervil, and Tim Crowder in the second round further lessens the need for DE. With P. Willis, were looking at the best linebacking corps in the league by far, with D.J and Ian outside, and Willis up the gut.
3. The reason Champ is getting beat is he is having to make too many tackles, and is easily beat on the play action because of this.
4. Shanahan is always very aggressive in the offseason, and as an avid fan, I love to see that, but I think the best case here would be to limit that to a few people and keep the same people so they can adapt instead of bringing in new players constantly, making the learning curve endless. I saw that, in like Week 6, we had only 6 out of 22 people that were the same starters as last week during Week 6. If we want to improve as a team for the long run, this number will have to increase.

all i have to say is this…..bates, bly, webster, adams, and both ot cut..the rest of our boys are good on the verge of greatness….and on Bly i said it first, right when we made the trade…he’ll cost us some games…toast should be his nickname….with champ he has been playin hurt all season..plus he is constantly, having to look back for run support…

I was angry at the loss too…but i see a bright light at the end of this tunnel…may not be this or next season..but or boys are gonna mature into a elite team…I have loved the Broncos since i was 7…23 years later…my love for them is still there…so even if we went 0 and 16…i’ll bleed orange and blue…and you don’t…find another team…

low5- what kind of fair weather fan are you? Ashamed to be a Bronco fan? I hope you are kidding. No matter how they do they will always be my boys. I stuck with them after the SuperBowls in the 80′s. If anyone should be ashamed, you should be ashamed of yourself. Go be Patriots fan and get out of here. ALL OF YOU NAY-SAYERS GET OVER YOURSELVES WE’RE ONLY ONE GAME DOWN. Re-building or not, we are young and have the opportunity to be a powerhouse in the future.

I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY DENVER KICKED THE BALL TO HESTER NOT ONCE BUT TWICE . —-FIRE THE KICKER AND THE SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR. THAT WAS OUR WIN. WE GAVE THEM THOSE POINTS OR ELSE THEY WOULD OF GOT SLAUGHTERED AT HOME..

The future is still bright with Jay as our quarterback, but it’s a bit disconcerting to lose a game like that. Nevertheless, we’ll bounce back and smack the Raiders. The Chargers have tougher games than we do down the stretch. We’ve just got to take advantage of opportunites when they’re placed before us.

Jay Cutler is the #1 young QB in the league so stop hating on my boy! Any real Bronco fan can see Cutler is not the problem he and a few of the other younger players are the only thing keeping the broncos playoff hopes alive.

As a Bears fan, I have to say that there were multiple opportunities for the Broncos to close the game. It was a nailbiter and even if you didn’t like the outcome you have to admit it was a pretty exciting game. I’ll share with you an outside perspective on what went wrong.
1. Dre bly… r u kidding me, he’s like a x-mas present. His 4th quarter penalty for illegal touch on 4th down did nothing to disrupt Moose’s route and the incompletion would have been the same and game over, but it was a penalty and a game changer. WOW, that was bad.
2. Sauerbraun and SP coordinator, just because the Raiders anounced they’d kick to Hester and did so effectively, doesn’t mean you play with fire. He announced earlier in the week Hester would be kicked to confidently and did so! I don’t care what fan u r and what happened 2 wks ago, u have to respect Hester, he is unreal. I respect the confidence and game plan going in but after the first return TD, to continue that is just not good football. Our team, honestly, is not playing as well as last year, you’d have been much better off giving up the field position.
3. Jay Cutler, I actually don’t have much bad to say about him without talking about his haircut, I think he’s really good and getting better, good pickup for your team. I don’t know why you Bronco fans are so hard on him, other than you were spoiled nicely with Elway. He’s a solid young QB who will only get better, you guys shouldn’t crucify QB’s on the bar Elway set. Believe me, as a Bear’s fan, any decent QB is a luxury!

2 other quick comments about the last 2 plays of regular time: whoever that cornerback was that broke up the 3rd and goal pass should be given a roster bonus because that was a phenominal play and that 4th down catch from Rex to Berrian was sick and completely undefendable.

Anyways, I’m out, No disrespect or gloating from this side, just an outside perspective. Much respect and Good luck Broncos!

If we wouldn’t have wasted all our damn timeouts we could have slowed down their offense and besides the special teams giving up some many touchdowns, which aren’t Saurebruns’s Fault, someone should have made a play; The biggest blow was Champ not covering his guy in the end zone, that happened twice last night, one was incomplete, the other for a touchdown, champ is playing like a chump, it doesn’t matter what scheme your in, he was there, and did not make the play. The offense was horrible; it took Cutler 2 quarters get anything started. The td pass to Tony Scheffler, was just poor luck, and we need more than luck to win the division. I will give credit to Elvis Dumerville and Kenny Peterson; they played great, and looks like a decent start to improve on in the up coming games. Maybe we should have signed Trotter instead of letting him go to the Bucs to warm a bench; but nope we signed Rice, where’s he at now?? Oh yea we cut his sorry ass. That game was a joke, and I was embarrassed to be a Broncos fan. We will not catch the Chargers now. I’m still excited for next year; Marshall is the real deal along with Cutler. Maybe Al Wilson will be better and we can pick him up, if not I hope we sign a defensive leader to start ASAP.

There people on here who don’t know what they are talking about the Broncos played great. Yes it was bad mistake to kick to Hester twice. But the team looked great. The season not lost yet. I think it going to come down to the San Diago game. The D is great if not for special team we would of won but that all under the bridge. I still have faith in my team Go Broncos
