Did not get tickets but the wife is from PA and her whole family is die hard Steeler fans. Got to photograph Terry Bradshaw, now that was awsome. I have two favs. Steelers being second don't want to talk about the first.... GO STEELERS!!

I agree w/ FJBRADY....as long as Orton continues to just look dumb and not pout like Cutler, I'm OK!

Orton did suck last night, though!!!

Yep 6-2 is not bad and they hung in there with the world champs for 3/4s..

Our QB was a little off last night but Elway had bad games too.

I am thinking we need a RS gathering at a future game??? might be fun to drive our rigs and tail gate together for a game????

You buying? :D

IMO the Broncos seem to have lost their confidence over the last couple of games, especially on the offense side. They started out looking decent, then the interception for the touchdown happened and things on the offense side starting going south. The defense did a good job of hanging tough, keeping things close, but when you are on the field that long sooner or later you get wore out :(

I kept waiting for Marshall to do a slant route, have Orton do a pump fake, and then watch Royal or Marshall go blasting down the field for a long TD. The Steelers were getting to a point where they were jumping on the slants and underneath stuff because they knew Orton wasn't going to go long...After 3 qtrs of setting that up where was the Bronco's hutzpah to throw the deep one :confused:

It was the defense that was winning games for us along the way to 6-0. There were some amazing stats I read showing how we shut down opponents in the second half - something like 6 points in 5 games and a 3rd down conversion percentage of < 10%.

Pittsburgh's offense killed us in the 2nd half. We had no answer for Mendenhall, and Big Ben was able to throw it wherever he wanted. I put that loss heavily on the coaching staff. Pittsburgh made adjustments at halftime; Denver didn't.

15 straight loses for the Broncos first in 20+ years if I heard that right.

15 losses in 20 game span for first time since 70-71 i think.
awesome.
at least we got rid of all those pesky do-no-good non-McDaniels-type players :D

mmm maybe 2 but with the lockout.. just pay an interim coach. either way not paying players and still having TV income should have plenty to pay 3 coachs and still have a lot left over. :D

So only older guys will remember Danndy Don, Howard Cossell and Frank Gifford on Monday night Footbal

Dandy Don died today and one of his sayings apply to Josh and Dandy Don as well

(With Texas accent) Turn out the lights the partys over

We will miss you Dandy Don.

Bowlen should have them complete the contract with Champ before its too late

Champ deserves to be traded to a contender...

I think mcdaniels was ok. He probably became a head coach too soon and GM was too much too.
