One Play at a Time

December 14th, 2012 - 12:46pm by Von MillerOther posts by Von Miller

We’ve had a great streak so far, and we’re hoping to extend it another game this weekend in Baltimore.

We just have to go out there and keep doing what we’ve been doing.

I’ve heard how tough of a place Baltimore is to play for the Broncos — and all teams — historically. We have a different team this year and if we just keep taking it one play at a time, I know what we can do.

We’ve all heard about how Ray Lewis might be back this weekend. He’s a player that I’ve looked up to and I think it’d be great just to see him and watch him compete. I just hope our defense can play a little bit better than theirs and we can edge them out.

Ray Rice is a tough test for us out of the backfield. He’s compact and has great vision. He is quick, fast and strong. He has all the qualities of a great running back.

We have to take it one play at a time and play the type of football that we know how to play and we can get it done.

-Gig em!

Elway Breaks Down Ravens

December 13th, 2012 - 6:38pm by Tyler EverettOther posts by Tyler Everett

On Thursday, Chris Hall of DenverBroncos.com sat down with Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway for the most recent installment of Elway Access.

Since the team’s last game, the Broncos have been able to enjoy some time off to get healthy and ready for the Ravens. Coming off a Thursday night victory in Oakland, the players were off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving them a breather going into the final three weeks of the season. In the win over the Raiders, Denver jumped out to a 13-0 lead en route to a 26-13 victory that came despite some red zone difficulty for the offense. Elway said that win, which improved Denver’s record to 10-3, made the trip to Oakland on a short week well worth the difficulty.

“It’s great now that we got that one over,” Elway said. “The first thing is you have to get through the short week. And we were able to do that, go in there, and even though it wasn’t our best football game, we were able to get in there and get a win. It’s always tough to win on the road, no matter where you go, against one of our archrivals in the Raiders. We were able to go in there, obviously 2-for-7 in the red zone isn’t what we want to do coming out of games. But we were able to get the job done. So once we won that game, then it became the benefit of having the extra weekend.”

Update on Baltimore’s Lewis, Suggs

December 13th, 2012 - 4:43pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

With Ravens inside linebacker Ray Lewis still absent from the team’s injury report — he has yet to be activated from injured reserve with a designation to return — it’s unclear whether the All-Pro will suit up on Sunday against the Broncos.

“That really is totally up to the trainers, (Ravens Head Coach) John (Harbaugh) and the organization,” Baltimore Defensive Coordinator Deen Pees said. “Whoever shows up on Sunday, that’s who we’re going to coach up.”

“You just have to go ahead with what you have.”

Things are also up in the air for fellow linebacker Terrell Suggs, who missed last week’s game with a biceps injury.

But Pees said Suggs “has been practicing and seems to be doing fine.”

He was listed as questionable on Wednesday but had full participation in Thursday’s practice.

Harbaugh: ‘A Game That Everybody Should Be Excited About’

December 12th, 2012 - 1:00pm by Sam DavisOther posts by Sam Davis

Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh is more than aware of the playmakers the Broncos have in every phase of the game. In a conference call on Tuesday, Harbaugh talked about how his team will look to contain those playmakers, while acknowledging the sizable task at hand.

“This is a game that everybody should be excited about,” Harbaugh said. “We’re just hoping that we can hang in there and pull our end of it. Denver — they’re playing at such a high level on all three phases. It’s probably going to be tough for us to hang in there against them, so we’re hopeful we can do that.”

Broncos Blog Scoring Contest: Week 15

December 11th, 2012 - 2:03pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

Last Thursday, the Broncos defeated the Oakland Raiders 26-13, and bloggers continued to provide great predictions for the score.

In first place was killerkod, who was off by just one total point with his prediction of 27-13. In second place was Ginandy2009, who guessed 28-14, and sndvl takes home third place with his prediction of 27-17.

Before we get to the standings, make sure you get your predictions in for this Sunday’s game at Baltimore here. They’ll be accepted all the way up to the scheduled 11 a.m. MST kickoff.

Quick question, by the way — would you all like for this contest to continue on to any Broncos playoff games? Or should the contest be called at the end of the regular season? I’d imagine this would go into the postseason, just wanted to check for a consensus.

Taking last week’s points into account, below are the top bloggers in the standings entering Week 15:

If the Playoffs Started This Week: Week 15

December 11th, 2012 - 10:19am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

With the Broncos locked in to one of the top four seeds in the AFC playoffs thanks to a second consecutive AFC West title, we thought we’d take a look at updated playoff seeding every week for the rest of the regular season.

Not much changed in the standings this week, but Houston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati all lost. The only change was Denver moving up to the No. 3 seed.

Currently, Houston and New England would have first-round byes as the top two seeds. Meanwhile, the Broncos would host the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ravens would host the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round.

With three games left on the schedule, there’s a lot that remains undecided. The Broncos, for example, could end up anywhere from the No. 1 seed (win one more game than New England and two more than Houston down the stretch) to the No. 4 seed.

The wild-card teams are up in the air, as well.

Here’s a look at who the teams currently in the top six — plus Cincinnati, who at 7-6 is tied with Pittsburgh, and a newcomer, the New York Jets, who at 6-7 are one game out — have remaining on their schedules:
