Amongst what may have been foresight of my own Josh McDaniels has come under siege this week. And by under siege I mean there may be a full on mutiny going on in Denver. Fox Sport’s Jay Glazer went live with a report this morning indicating that McDaniels had in fact discussed the importance of […]

Since hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach last season, the Broncos have oft been referred to as “Patriots West”.

[ESPN] View McDaniels’ fist-pumping ecstasy here. [BroncoTalk] Kyle Orton out-Brady’d Tom Brady.  [ESPN] And Peter King sees a bit of 2001 Brady in this […]

Record: 3-1 Streak: Won 2 Series vs. Denver: Broncos, 24-16 Last time: Patriots, 41-7, 2008 The Line: Patriots by 3.5 Who’s hot: QB Tom Brady. Maybe “hot” is too strong a word; if it weren’t for three weeks of looking legitimately bad, his pedestrian 258-yard, 1-TD performance Sunday would seem merely lukewarm. But against a […]

The San Diego Chargers head into their bye bruised, beaten, and bound for a Week 6 battle with the Broncos.  [San Diego Union Tribune] Unlike last year at the bye (when they fired DC Ted Cottrell), San Diego won’t be making any sweeping changes.  [SDUT] Denver has New England this week.  You get the impression […]
