And now what? - (12/18)

The Inbox is once again open for business. A large crowd of folks were waiting after Thursday's loss to take a swing or two at the defense as well as assistant head coach/defense Jim Bates, but with the offseason now in sight, plenty of folks are already looking to '08. With that, off we go . . .

Broncos D Far From Orange Crush of Old - (12/17)

With the Denver Broncos? playoff chances officially gone after both San Diego and Cleveland won on Sunday, it is time to take a serious look at one of the most disappointing Denver squads in recent memory. The offense was far from impressive, but the defense has been appalling at nearly every level and is in [...]

Broncos-Texans Postgame Quick Hits - (12/13)

Three traditional problems of the Broncos that have plagued them for years all struck their ugly head tonight: –Inability for the offense to convert in the red zone –Poor field position –Poor special teams performances In particular, Todd Sauerbrun needs to come under some heavy scrutiny this offseason.  Kickoffs only getting to the teens of the opposing team?s side [...]

Professor vs. Pupil - (12/12)

This week?s Thursday night game was chosen by the NFL Network for a clear reason.  This will be the first time in the regular season that long-time Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan will have to gameplan against Gary Kubiak, a man whose tenure with the Broncos started even before Shanahan?s did in 1984 as a [...]

And just who will lug the rock . . . - (12/12)

The Inbox is again open for business. Virtually all of the questions were requests to see the list of prospective Broncos free agents for '08. So we ran it again and included some quality work from a couple of the regulars. So, with that, off we go. . .

Broncos? Playoff Possibilities - (12/11)

Just to briefly review, the Broncos at 6-7 are two games behind the Chargers at 8-5.  The Chargers are 3-1 in divisional play while the Broncos are 3-2.  The two teams, of course, square off on primetime on Christmas Eve. In addition, the Broncos have games against the Texans and Vikings, while the Chargers take on [...]

Brooms Sweep More Than Snow in Denver - (12/10)

So, what?s the cure for recovering from a defeat against a division rival that your team has traditionally dominated?  Sweep another division rival for the season.  Extra aid comes when the sweep is achieved in a dominating fashion.  That?s exactly what the Broncos on Sunday by pasting the Chiefs 41-7, and extending Kansas City?s futility [...]

Stokley?s Wallet Heavier; Shanahan?s Lighter - (12/07)

A couple of Broncos stories are hitting the news feeds at the moment. First, Mike Shanahan has been fined $25,000 by the NFL for his involvement in the Travis Henry appeal. The infraction stated is as follows: ?inappropriate comments about the league’s substance abuse program.? One can assume this relates to the fact that [...]

Again, they go, into the trenches - (12/04)

The Inbox is open for business. And the Broncos waiving Sam Adams Tuesday got things going in what many are finding to be a disappointing season they don't see getting better over the next four games. So with that, off we go . . .

Appeal Victorious for Henry; Pyrrhic for Broncos - (12/04)

News has spread quickly that Travis Henry has created a landmark precedent by successfully appealing his looming one-year suspension for violation of the substance abuse policy.  Obviously, he will continue to be available for the Broncos for the near future. The success is tremendous for Henry?if the travails of Ricky Williams are any indication, Henry?s career [...]

Raiders Redux - (12/01)

Plenty has changed since the Broncos avoided short term disaster against the rival Raiders at home thanks to a well-timed timeout by Mike Shanahan which earned him some notoriety during the season.  The Broncos were a tenuous 2-0 off two thrilling Jason Elam field goals and the Raiders looked like they were heading to another [...]

Beyond Sauerbrun and Hester - (11/28)

It?s easy to pin the loss at Chicago on Todd Sauerbrun and the special teams.  In addition to giving up two returns for touchdowns at the hands of Devin Hester, Sauerbrun also suffered a blocked punt.  However, that simply does not tell the whole story.  It?s important to remember that at the onset of the [...]

Picking up the pieces . . . - (11/27)

The Inbox is open for business and the lost 14-point lead was certainly on the forefront of most people's minds. Folks took particular aim at the defense and special teams. So with that off we go . . .

Don?t Forget Devin Hester - (11/25)

…because I almost did. We all know how he has changed the faces of games in his brief but impressive career as a returner. One of the debates that has raged on this season is whether any team should kick it to Devin Hester. The arguments seemed to weigh in favor against it until [...]

Pass Happy in the Windy City? - (11/24)

As the Broncos travel north to take on the Chicago Bears, the injury bug is shaping up in an unusual way.  Denver is razor thin at the running back position, with Travis Henry likely to miss yet another game with a knee injury.  Selvin Young, as well as special teamer Paul Smith, are also questionable [...]

Digging into the trenches . . . - (11/21)

The Inbox is again open for business. A victory usually turns people to the long-term view and most wanted some discussion of the play of the team's offensive line or the fate of Travis Henry. So with that off we go. . .

Broncos? home win staves off ?Titanic? season - (11/20)

A sign of a good team is not just one that wins games, but gets several of its wins in a dominating fashion.  Two weeks ago, the Broncos? victories were as precarious as they come.  Things started turning around with a rare win at Arrowhead Stadium, and now last Monday when they re-established a powerful [...]

Broncos 34, Titans 20 - (11/19)

In sum, a big and critical win at home against a team with a winning record with playoff hopes.  I’ll have much more on this game around Tuesday night, but in the meantime, I encourage you to visit the Total Titans blog here at MVN, where I participated with my Titans colleagues in a live [...]

Friends Clash a Mile High (Part 2) - (11/19)

Here are some interesting thoughts out there that may be more evident to fans of Longhorns football than others.  For those of you that remember Vince Young in burnt orange, you?ll recall that his jersey name bore ?V. Young?.  (He wanted to wear the first initial in the NFL, but alas, there was no other [...]

Friends Clash a Mile High (Part 1) - (11/17)

Monday?s game against the Tennessee Titans will mark a showdown between between the two longest-tenured coaches currently in the NFL in Mike Shanahan and Jeff Fisher.  Back when Fisher took the helm, his new team was still called the Houston Oilers.  Although the two teams reside in the AFC, oddly enough the two coaches have [...]

Catchup on Roster Shakeup - (11/16)

Selvin Young made the most prominent splash as a young gun taking the reins of a starting position and making the most of it in Kansas City.  But he was not the only one fitting that criteria that weekend.  Quietly but more impressively, Hamza Abdullah has snuck his way in the starting lineup, displacing longtime [...]

Young at heart and in the backfield . . . - (11/13)

The Inbox is open for business . . . A lot of folks looked at all of the roster comings and goings and wanted to know why and still others were hoping for more. So, with that in mind, off we go . . .

Delight in Our Young - (11/11)

Winning at Arrowhead Stadium is a daunting task.  It?s made even tougher when you are a division rival of the Kansas City Chiefs, and the evidence of it with regards to the Broncos showed when you consider they have won there only once since they last won the Super Bowl.  The meaning of today?s victory [...]

AFC West or Bust - (11/08)

This is not Broncos football.  There really is no simpler response to a 2007 season that has seen several embarrassments, typified by the massacre at Detroit last weekend.  Being 3-5 at the midpoint is just not what is supposed to happen in Denver, especially with a team that typically starts off the season strong. Things get [...]

Rumblings after the rout - (11/06)

The Inbox is open for business. Plenty of angst all around after the blowout loss from those who took the time to point and click. So off we go . . .
