Broncos at Chiefs: Fourth Quarter Notes

September 28th, 2008 - 1:36pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: The Chiefs have a first-and-10 at the Denver 39 to start the fourth quarter. Bowe fires deep down the left sideline for Bowe, but he makes the grab well out of bounds near the goal line.

14:50: Huard complete to Jeff Webb for 15 yards and a first down at the Denver 23.

14:10: Huard hits Bowe for 10 yards and a first down, moving into the redzone to the Denver 13.

13:00: Huard hits Tony Gonzalez in the back of the endzone for a 13-yard touchdown. 23-13, Chiefs.

Gonzalez was injured on the play, but he got up after a few minutes and made his way to the sideline on his own.

Broncos at Chiefs: Third Quarter Notes

September 28th, 2008 - 12:49pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

15:00: Novak kicks off to Hall, who takes it out to the 35-yard line, and that’s where Cutler and the offense will take the field for the first drive of the second half.

14:20: Hall carries the ball twice for short gains, and now it’s third-and-five at the 40.

13:40: Cutler hits Royal down the left side for 28 yards to the Chiefs’ 32.

13:08: After an incomplete pass that was ruled as a rush for no yards and fumble, it’s second-and-16 from the 37. Cutler fires into the endzone for Royal, but it sails incomplete.

12:30: Cutler hits Pittman in the flats for a short gain, and Prater comes out to attempt a 51-yarder to tie it up. It’s good, and the score is tied at 13.

Broncos at Chiefs: Pregame Notes

September 28th, 2008 - 9:26am by Adam ZinserOther posts by

10:26 a.m. CDT: We got here a while ago, and now we’re all set up in the press box.

Jay Cutler and the receivers just went back into the locker room after spending time out on the field practicing routes.

Brett Kern is the first dressed player out on the field, as usual, and the Broncos will be wearing all white uniforms today.

It’s a perfectly clear sky and very sunny. It’s early, but it’s already hot down on the field.

I just got some pictures from Jake Grilley, so I’ll be back in a few minutes to post them here in the blog.

That Was Huge

September 18th, 2008 - 7:42pm by Ryan TorainOther posts by

I know I started out last week’s post with a wow, but I’ve got to do it again.

Wow. That win against the Chargers was huge. It was definitely something I’ve never experienced. It was an amazing feeling from start to finish, and I can’t wait to get out there and give the crowd some emotion — just have some fun out there myself.

I had chills all through my body. It was electrifying. All day I was just so excited for kickoff and for the game to get underway, just to see what was going to happen. And clearly great things happened, now we’ve just got to keep that going.

I’ll tell you fans one thing — you’re loud. It got so loud out there. You were definitely into it, and it was exciting and so much fun. I can’t wait to get out there on the field and do it myself.

What An Experience

September 11th, 2008 - 1:18pm by Ryan TorainOther posts by

Wow. Oakland was an experience. It was cool to be in that atmosphere — The Black Hole, rowdy crowd — and then we went out there and played to our ability and got the win. I can’t stress enough what a great experience it was just being out there.

I didn’t catch any batteries to the back of the head, thank goodness, but it was still pretty crazy. I saw a couple fights break out in the crowd, especially when we were walking in for halftime. It was pretty cool. I’m saying, it was really exciting being around that atmosphere, watching the guys make big plays.

The thing I was most excited about was watching Eddie Royal, one of my good friends, being in the same rookie class and all, making plays. I’m just like, “Yeah. That’s what’s up.” It was exciting watching him play. Heck, it was exciting watching EVERYONE play.

Can you tell I’m excited the season is here?

Becoming a Vet

September 4th, 2008 - 1:12pm by Ryan TorainOther posts by

So…I’m excited the regular season is here. I mean I wish I could be in it, of course, but I’ve just got to check it out from the sidelines for now. I do a lot of watching, just seeing how people carry themselves during the season.

When I get back out there, I want to be a vet. I don’t want to be a rookie. That’s the goal. I want to be used to it and have gone through it already, so that’s what I’m doing now. I go to all the games, all the away games, and I’m just staying around the team and seeing what they do and how everything goes — how it’s all working out.

This week we’ve got the Raiders. I’m excited to go into that atmosphere. I’ve never been to Oakland, so that’s going to be an experience. It’s the NFL, man. I still get culture shock and sort of nerves when I’m on the field watching everyone warm up. It’s like, “Man…I can’t wait to do it.”

Outlook for Oakland

September 3rd, 2008 - 5:22pm by Jake GrilleyOther posts by

It is Wednesday, so that means only five days remain until the Broncos primetime, divisional and regular season opener against the team’s archnemesis, an opponent that ESPN’s Chris Berman will overly refer to as the “RRRaidahs!” prior to Monday night’s clash.

Time to Rest, then Move Forward

January 2nd, 2008 - 9:28am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

Mercifully, the 2007 season is over for the Denver Broncos players, coaches, administrators, and for one of the deepest fan bases in the National Football League.

When the season began to take on that disappointing glow which ultimately would mark it, the campaign became a lot less fun for the fans to watch.  It also became more difficult to work, because the frustration just mounts in direct correlation with wins and losses.

It is time now for all involved to take a deep breath, relax a bit, and then slowly ease into the new year.

Houston Game Caps Hectic Time

December 12th, 2007 - 8:32am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

When the Broncos kick off against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on Thursday night, that will seem like many of us to be the easiest part of this incredibly short week.

Thursday night football is gaining its niche in popularity as part of the pro football fan’s destination television, and it is great to be selected for games like these.

But that selection does come with a price.

It’s Starting To Get Interesting

November 21st, 2007 - 7:57am by mike_riceOther posts by

It’s called a season for a reason. All 16 games count. And the Broncos have to be glad for that.

With the win over the Titans on Monday night, the Broncos accomplished their first task of getting back to .500. Now, they have to keep it going.

One reason to think the Broncos can and will is the play of their defense. They have changed things up, they have made adjustments, and they have received more from young players who are developing.

While Vince Young isn’t the best quarterback in the NFL, he is dangerous. The Broncos didn’t let Young take over the game. They kept him and the Titans’ offense pretty well in check.

Another reason to think the Broncos can continue to play well is the emergence of the big play. For the first time in franchise history, the Broncos had four touchdowns of over 40 yards in one game.
