In his rookie season, Head Coach Josh McDaniels has the Broncos standing precipitously close to an edge over which they haven’t tumbled in nearly two decades. Denver has four days to regroup after its fourth straight loss to prevent a fifth, a losing streak McDaniels’ most recent predecessor never experienced. In 14 seasons as Broncos […]

San Diego Union Tribune Clearly, though, (Chargers G Kris) Dielman thought the Broncos were extremely chatty for a team in the process of getting beaten by 29 points. “If their game is to run their mouth, they can, but we finished it off good,” Dielman said. “They kept talking, pretty thoroughly, throughout the entire game. […]

Chargers 32, Broncos 3. We all agree that it sure would be nice to give out a Game Ball award again. Let the record show that Sunday was a stinkfest all around. Even the studs stank a little bit. Caveats abound. Dud: Mike Nolan As I outlined earlier, the defense’s inability to get after Philip […]

One of the largest differences between the two Chargers games this season was the amount of pressure the Broncos were able to put on quarterback Philip Rivers. In October, Mike Nolan‘s defense tallied five sacks against Rivers, a career high for the fourth-year starting quarterback. They were constantly in the quarterback’s face through a well-utilized […]

Back in October, with camera crews mere feet away, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos players got in a well-publicized verbal and semi-physical exchange as they warmed up for their Monday Night Football outing. Before Sunday’s Broncos-Chargers tilt, many noted that there didn’t appear to be such a fracas. There was. This one just happened […]

While it’s hard to take Josh McDaniels‘ claims that, if he feels up to it, QB Kyle Orton will start on Sunday against San Diego despite missing a week of practice seriously, the coach continues to insist this is the case. The New York Times’ Fifth Down Blog wonders aloud what type of message this […]

If you didn’t watch the Dolphins beat down the Panthers last night you may have missed the halftime interview.  Here is Rich Eisen and Deion Sanders interviewing Brandon Marshall on the status of Kyle Orton, his terms with Josh McDaniels,  the status of the team, and his relationship with Jay Cutler.  He’s a pretty good […]

Our weekly perusal around the Interwebz for water cooler fodder. ESPN: 9th Unraveling at the wrong time, facing a rematch with San Diego and with backup QB Chris Simms at the helm. CBS: 8th It’s amazing how quickly their season has turned around. Now they play the Chargers with a gimpy Kyle Orton and first […]

You can’t blame a certain Denver columnist for sticking to his guns. In his latest mailbag, the Post’s venerable wordsmith maintains that Chris Simms should have started instead of Kyle Orton, citing “thoughtful research” (read: Simms was better in one week of the preseason) and “observation” (read: Woody attended training camp twice) in concluding Simms […]
