Disappointing Season Wraps Up

December 26th, 2007 - 12:15pm by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

Sometimes you just cannot sugarcoat your disappointment, and the 2007 National Football League is one of those situations for the Denver Broncos.

Our franchise is a proud one which has sustained long periods of great success, but this season is a low ebb.

Everywhere you go, you hear people comment about what a bad season it has been.

But that is just a reflection of how much people care, or how much a part of the Denver community the Broncos are. If fans did not care, THAT would really be disappointing.

Monday Night Football a Part of Americana

With the Denver Broncos set to host the Tennessee Titans in Denver’s second home Monday night game of the 2007 season, and the second of three overall appearances –the Broncos also will play a Monday night contest at San Diego on Christmas Eve – it brings back lots of memories about playing on the national stage.

But one of my deepest memories along these lines has to do with the Broncos’ very first appearance on Monday Night Football, then an ABC production that featured Howard Cosell when he was in his prime as a celebrity journalist.

Many would say more celebrity than journalist, and it is real hard to argue with that assessment.

Monday Night Football has been part of the landscape of American society for the better part of four decades, and fans today have to strain to remember how it was once upon a time.

Most fans cannot, in fact, because they were too young then.

Denver had the Broncos, but the nation didn’t care.

An Emotional Game, but a Great Win

Alright, time for another fun and exciting blog with everybody’s favorite Bronco, Domonique Foxworth.

Well, this is probably going to be the most fun blog that I’ve done in quite some time — at least four weeks — because we got a win. I played a large role in the game, which is always a good feeling, especially coming off a couple weeks missed by injuries and several losses in a row, which We as Broncos players and you as Broncos fans are not accustomed to. But it made the win feel that much better, I guess.

It’s something to be proud of, because the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the top teams and are respected for being one of the toughest and most talented teams in the AFC. To be able to get a win against them and play well is great. We played probably as well as we have so far on special teams and played pretty well on defense. I think we did great on special teams, which is one of the most underrated things about football, how important field position is. That’s all decided through special teams. We had some great coverage in kickoffs this year for the first time this season. We also had some pretty good returns, and had an all-around solid special teams game.

On offense we were able to score touchdowns, which has been something that’s been difficult for us this year. We were able to score touchdowns, which are a lot better than field goals. We made some turnovers and even scored on defense this week, so I think we played just about as well as we’ve played, as far as a complete game is concerned, this year.
