Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

The only move I'd approve of is a deal that would bring in Luck. He's a once a decade type QB, IMO. I don't see something like that happening, though.

side note- I love Tebow, but Broncos most valuable asset is Von Miller

Hear hear on Von Miller. And your avatar is making my head hurt.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

I heard Miller practiced today, so that's great news. Peterson was also officially ruled out.

Going to Minnesota makes me nervous. Denver doesn't seem to fair there very well. The only good memory I have is that time they won on the tipped pass caught by Easy Ed. The rest is filled with the likes of laterals by Moss and Gerald Wilhite 'putting his foot on backwards' just before he got into the endzone. Ouch.

I hate that Viking horn.

Yea that is good news. I heard he was going to try and play. Good news is AP isn't playing. But I agree Minnesota scares me.

Every team scared me. Miami especially.

Yea but with Miami everyone would've said oh well. Now if we lose everyone will say I told you so Tebow is horrible.

I guess what I am getting at was when we played Miami I didn't expect a win. This week I do.

That's pretty much how I feel -kinda just waiting for the bubble to finally burst. I thought it would against the Jets... and then definitely against the Chargers. Nope.

The complexion of this team is so different from any other that I can remember. I used to 'expect' the Broncos to win every week. Over the past two years, that went to just hoping they were competitive. As unconventional as it's been, this past month has been fun. Who would have ever thought we'd hear Denver being talked about as a pla.... not going to say it yet (maybe if they beat Minnesota and Chicago).

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

The bubble will burst and soon. So right now as Denver fans we just have to enjoy the wins and hope this Tim Tebow thing keeps working out. Also I heard a lot of so called "experts" saying during the draft that the Broncos should not have taken Von Miller. Boy has that blown up in their face, he has been great.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

This was the first game where I saw Tim Tebow play as a pure quarterback. This game really made me excited for Tebow's future. No read-option, no Tebow draws. Just Tim Tebow, mostly under center, dropping back and playing with consistency, accuracy, and good judgment. Tebow's major weapon was his arm, and he made great use of it. 10 for 15 and 202 yards? Very nice. Yes, the Vikings pass-defense sucks, but these kind of games are confidence-builders. His throws were on-target.

The defense missed Von Miller, and I knew they would. And Andre Goodman was roasted for most of the game. But he got the last laugh, so kudos to him for that.

If Tebow can play like this on a regular basis, the Broncos are going to shine.

Ding Ding Ding!

He's showing signs he can definitely do it. He will continue to improve. I loved how he played yesterday, making plays with his arm. I think he only had four rushing attempts. Plus, if Demaryius runs through the ball on that third and long throw to the endzone, that's another TD. Even so, nice to see Demaryius make some plays. I think we are going to see more of him. He's not a precise route runner, but I think he'll excel when Tebow scrambles. I like how Tebow is continuing to look downfield when he does scramble.

I couldn't believe how they just kept coming back after giving up those 2nd half TD's...and fast. Vikings score, Broncos answer in one or two plays. Are you kidding me? In the past, the Broncos lose that type of game 9/10 times. The wheels could have come off so many times, but they didn't. People are saying "it's just the Vikings and their injury riddled defensive backfield", but that was a huge win for Denver.

Meril Hoge needs to just shut up. Tebow is making him look like a fool. Why does that dude have such an axe to grind against Timmy?

How awesome is it to see Denver in the p**yo*f bracket when they put up that graphic?!?!

I think there is a good chance that the bubble will keep filling up.

All the nay-sayers are just waiting for Tebow to have a bad game and/or for Denver to lose just so they can come out and say, "See...that's what I've been talking about." It's going to happen, Tebow will play horribly and cost them the game. Tebow can bring so much to that offense that you have to allow him some growing pains.

You talk about a nightmare for defensive coordinator trying to scheme to stop this offense. The read option was almost non-existent against Minnesota and I would bet money that they spent a lot of practice time preparing for that. What does Tebow do instead? He plays a more traditional pro-form set and beats them with his arm.

As everybody has been saying around here, Tebow will be get better and when he does...look out.

Best feeling for a Broncos fan: The Broncos are now in the top 10 in the ESPN power rankings.

Re: Official Denver Broncos Thread

Isn't that sweet? Not to mention unbelievable. The Broncos are once again relevant late in the year and that definitely feels good!

Great feeling. Let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. Just remember it was only a mere 8 weeks ago they were in bottom 3.

But yes I do love this just taking one game at a time. Need to show up against the Bears regardless of their last two loses without Cutler. Hopefully Miller can play and we can have a game that we aren't stressing about til the last minute. But for some reason gut says its going to be another close one.

After only being able to put up three against KC at home last week, I don't think the Bears are going to be able to score very much - especially without Forte.

Just don't kick it to Hester!

This year, I have a lot of faith in the leadership of this team. Dawkins clearly kept the defense's head in the game late against the Vikings. Guys like Dawkins, Bailey, and others of their level are going to keep this team from floating up into the sky. And I just get that feeling that Tebow isn't the type of person to ever let up.

I've been there, as a player. I remember playing this game (hockey), and the team we went up against had a short bench and a terrible record. As a team, we kept waiting for them to fall on their faces, and they just kept coming. Before we knew it, we were down two goals, and we couldn't regain our intensity. They believed they could win, and the intensity was theirs. Once you lose that intensity, you're screwed.

That game sticks with me every time I play or coach. I saw that a bit in the Denver defense (especially in the eyes of Goodman). I was glad to see Dawkins pull the defense aside and give them a talk. It showed in Goodman's aggression with that last pick. He didn't try to do too much, and remained confident. That's important, and the Eagles are learning a HARD lesson that skill alone cannot win games. A lesson Redskins skins should've been able to tell the Eagles.
