As the Denver Broncos stand, battered, war-torn and close to utterly being depleted… There is one fact that must be reflected upon. Not a single team in the NFL has had a more difficult road this season than the 2-4 Broncos. It started in the preseason even, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and only got worse […]

I can’t apologize for last week, I was within three points of my predictions (I just attributed the points to the wrong teams, that’s all– a simple typo (similar to the one that brought Wall Street to its knees a few months back)). The entire game I couldn’t stand the fact that we were running […]

The toll the Broncos took against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday continues to rise. Shortly after it was announced that five defensive players would miss the Broncos’ upcoming game versus the New York Jets, the details surrounding two of the injuries have filed in. The details aren’t good. First, starting outside linebacker Robert Ayers has suffered […]

Head coach Josh McDaniels has already ruled out five key defensive players for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets: safeties Darcel McBath (ankle) and Brian Dawkins (knee), linebackers Wesley Woodyard (hamstring) and Robert Ayers (leg), and […]
