How the Broncos Will Watch the First Round

January 3rd, 2013 - 2:42pm by Sam DavisOther posts by

As the Broncos rest their bodies this weekend and mentally prepare to play in the Divisional Round, most players will enjoy watching the NFL’s Wild Card games.

Four games will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Three of the four teams playing in the AFC could potentially be Denver’s opponent next Saturday, Jan. 12th.

Should Cincinnati defeat Houston on Saturday, the Broncos will host the Bengals in Denver for the Divisional Round. If Houston wins that game, Denver’s opponent will be the winner of the Baltimore-Indianapolis matchup.

“I’ll definitely check out the Bengals, and Indianapolis (versus) the Ravens,” linebacker Von Miller said. “I definitely have to check out those games. Those games are the more important games to pay attention to and to watch this week but I’ll be paying attention to all the games this week.”

Miller added that he will try to watch every game, and might join fellow edge-rusher Elvis Dumervil at his house to enjoy the games together. The NFC matchup that Miller particularly has his eyes on features a pair of rookie quarterbacks.

Conference Championships: The Super Two

January 21st, 2011 - 7:48am by mike_riceOther posts by

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
NEW YORK JETS 20, PITTSBURGH STEELERS 17

Throw out conventional wisdom, throw out the stats and throw out everything else. I’ve come to believe it is simply the Jets year.

It is easy to make a statement like that when one is talking about a team as talented as the Jets are. They have the defense, they have the running game and they certainly have the intangibles to go to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers.

The offseason got off to a big start for the Broncos this week. There are plenty of opportunities to share your thoughts in some of the other blogs and many of you have already done that.

As for me, I’m going to focus on the playoffs over the next few weeks. I’ll break down the upcoming games, make my predictions and hopefully get yours as well.

Down To Four

January 11th, 2009 - 11:46pm by mike_riceOther posts by

When it comes to the NFL playoffs, getting in is half the battle. Once a team is in the field, one never knows what can happen.

A week ago Saturday, who would have thought that only one number one seed would be playing in the two conference championship games? Who would have thought that home teams would win only three of the first eight playoff games?

It just goes to show you that anything can happen. And it also goes to show how far a great defense will go. Three of the four teams still alive (Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Philadelphia) have defenses that are just terrific. The fourth team left (Arizona) has a defense that played incredibly well this weekend.

Here are a few thoughts on this weekend’s divisional playoff games.

New Year, New Season

January 1st, 2008 - 9:51pm by domonique_foxworthOther posts by

Season’s over and the year’s over also.

It’s been an eventful year for us. Ups and downs and a lot of challenges. We obviously didn’t get to where we were expected to go. Didn’t fulfill all of our goals and maximize our talent this year. I think this is a time right now right after the season to reflect on our own individual performances and performance as a team.

That being said, I personally recognize that there’s things that I need to work on going into next season. It’s important to be really critical of yourselves right now when things haven’t gone well.
