is it? or was it that they had so many injuries last year on defense? They were definitely banged up last year. Healthy team can make a difference too.

I wonder how they would have done with JC still at the helm. I know everyone hates him but that guy can sling the ball.
As for the defense, the scheme is better and some players are in better positions. Injuries hit every team, Denver did have more than there share last year but you have to deal with it.
Next weeks game will be more of a tell, even if they loose by 7 or less they will be taken seriously. Everyone feels that NE is still one of the top teams in the league and for the Broncos to either beat them or stay within single digit lose they will be considered one of the top teams this year. Get a really good quarterback again and another wide receiver/running back and we'll be in the top 5 teams

Possibly. I only remember that they lost like 6 RB's to injury; I thought the defense (primarily the front 4) just sucked....

yeah.. It's nice to see McNutty fired up. I kinda like that.
Seems they are for real. It was a good game.

You cant even fault Orton for the one interception he threw. It was an up for grabs ball.
Coach yelled at his special teams coach after the player ran into the kicker. Did yoiu see him give the special teams coach a look when they screwed up another 4th down with the offsides.
Nice to see Brandon finally back with the team mentaly

Yup, whoever that special teams coach is, he is missing an ass cheek tonight, even with the win. That same coach, to his credit, could only nod in agreement with the head coach's comments. Being a long time KC Chiefs fan, I noticed a terribly different situation during the Chief's near win against Dallas today. Head coach was giving an earful to a wide reciever who had missed an assignment and the player just walked on by like he didn't give a rip about what was being conveyed. Josh McDaniel has the team's attention and that's a good thing.

The crowd was really into the game. Loud on defense and quiet on offense. Our section stood the 4th QTR and overtime

For any of you old timers that can remember, this is sort of starting to feel like the 77-78 Super Bowl team season.
They had the Orange Crush defense and a re-tread QB in the form of Craig Morton. He couldn't run and didnt have the best arm but he was very accurate and rarely turned the ball over.
Every Monday night at half time, Howard Cosell would lambast them as not being nearly as good as their record indicated. The hype built up until they were 8-0 and the only other 8-0 team were the Colts, who were favored to go all the way that year. They played a very close game but the Colts were driving down to score the winning touchdown with less than 2 minutes to play. Thats when Tom Jackson intercepted the pass at the 4 yard line and ran it all the way back for a TD and won the game.
Of course, they got murdered by the Cowboys in the SB but it sure was a fun season. I hope they can keep it up, they're sure more fun to watch now.
Oh, and good riddance to Jay Cutler. He was an immature punk and a jerk. I dont care if the donkeys were 0-5 right now without him, they're better off without him.

Alright, I'm starting to believe... this team is way more fun to watch than so many Shannahan-era teams that would get us up by 2 touchdowns in the first three drives, then proceed to blow it... lots more fun when you can take over the second half. Bring on the Ravens..

Yes. It's such a pleasure to watch these guys play now. The defense is phenomenal. And the offense is making plays. Orton is an accurate passer. It's so cool to see them just drive down the field and score, almost at will. They have the ability and the confidence to do it. They all believe in McDaniels, for sure.
Pretty amazing stat ESPN tossed up there mid way through the game. The Denver "D" had given up a grand total of 0 points in the 2nd half of the last 4 games (including games against the Pats and Cowboys). Toss in a 3 point effort against the Bolts, and that's 3 points in 5 games.

Wow we got handled last night. Sigh
Dave Ghrol just couldn't get it done on offense not that he had much protection from his line. He took some good hits. Baily got burnt a couple times for big losses but the one was made up for with our red zone interception. I think the Steelers might have put down more rushing yards on us than anyone. WOW maybe next week.

Second half of the last two games killed the Bronco's chances. The last two games the opponents have smashed the Bronco's in the mouth.
6-2 I'll take it. They need to right the ship so the can go another 6-2 to finish 12-4 not to shabby. We'll see.........I just like the fact the camera does not pan to Cutler's pouty face anymore!

I was amazed how many Steeler fans were in the stadium waving their yellow towels. It had to help their team on the field feel like it was a home game. Very disappointed so many Broncos fans sold their tickets to others. Maybe we should institute a no sale to other team's fans rule.
Go Steelers!!!!!
