Any chance we could have the coach fly the team around on a plane for a while and then get the whole of Broncos Country to wear Red to the game on Sunday? Maybe if they think they are playing away….

Good point Michael. This O line is showing up week in and week out. Every single one of them are playing great football on a consistant basis. Hillis is a great 1st down back. He gets positive yards and falls forward and also knows how to grind out tough yards. He would be perfect to match up with a speedster. The guy does not go down easy and tires out the opposing defense. Its nice to have a pile mover who doesnt get lost at the line and can put the team in 2nd and 5 or 3 and 2 situations on a regular basis.

Oh yeah…I can’t remember the last time I rooted for the Raiders but GO Raidahs! Thats the last time I say that. But on a more serious note I like our chances. Hopefully Cry me a Rivers chokes on his tears against Oakland.

Wow I’ve never seen any fans boo players when they are injured….what a bunch of no class New York D bags. Shanahan nor Bowlen would ever put up with that in D town. Great game for Cutty and Hillis….Bly and Doom stepped up too and how about that strip by woodyard in the first quarter to get Fox the score. I’m thinking the experts should just call us “underdogs” from here on out or “Road Warriors”. But come sunday its payback time on the Chefs, we must protect this house ! I’ll be loud as usual for all you fans that can’t be there with us. Hope none of those injuries are serious we sustained this game, but can’t wait till champ returns…hands down our best player on D if not the whole team. Go Broncos!!!!!

peyton hillis!!!!

Do i need to say more? No? Well i’m going to. What a performance by the young man. Even if he’s not the answer at hb. He certainly introduces some good questions. He did an excellent job of protecting the balls, except for just before the 2 minute warning. Did you see that? I felt it in england!

As for defensive starters coming back. Give me dj and champ but there’s no reason to push them now.

Kc need a good thumping – on to orange week!

Haha Sam – good eye. Of course, Elway is my top fave, but Nalen is #2.

Wiegmann has been very good though. I can’t complain! :)

Dakota fan, are you trying to get band from this site? haven’t you read how Kyle loves Nalen: His favorite Bronco of all time I think I remember reading just a few weeks ago.

I was thinking the same thing about Hillis being the answer. I remember TD didn’t have great speed either. Hillis always pushes the pile, falls forward, hits the whole hard, but a one two punch with another Back would be beneficial to all.

The line being over looked is a good thing. The past two years that has been a weakness, and this year to be comfortable enough to over look them is a good feeling.

Hillis is getting beat on constantly , sure hope he mends well . He needs some relief that can help maybe a tight end in a running back role since the broncos are a multi role team. Got any better ideas ?

This offensive line reminds me of the Super Bowl o-line from 97-99. If there was a prize for top free agent pickup in the offseason, Casey Wiegmann would win, hands down. I love Nalen, but who has missed him a bit this year?

Hamilton and Kuper are studs, and the Ryans at tackles are guys we can build around for years to come.

And the offensive scheme this week- the Raiders knew last week that we were going to try to go deep on them and so did everyone else. So what do we do? We utilize two of the league’s most underrated tight ends (Scheffler and Graham) for medium yardage gains and punch them in the mouth with Hillis. Smart game plan, Coach Shanahan.

Good night family- I sleep well this night after this game.
