Several readers have pointed us in the direction of this AP article, which casually states that neither Chris Simms nor Kyle Orton will be ready to go against Cincinnati next Sunday, and that rookie QB Tom Brandstater will start. For our tastes, the statement was made a little too casually. News like this wouldn’t be […]

Yes, Josh McDaniels, there is a sunny side to Colorado. Between a quarterback trade, a wide receiver demanding one, and staring Denver’s first winless preseason in fifty years straight in the face, the first year Head Coach must have been praying for a break. He got one Thursday night. The Broncos put in a sound […]

Tonight the Arizona Cardinals come to town to face the Denver Broncos in the fourth and final preseason game of the season. The dress rehearsals for the Bronco have been so-so thus far, but that’s not what tonight’s about. Tonight is about the 22 players (23 after adding Brandon Marshall) who are going to be […]

…I’d say Brandstater is the starter Week One.  Watching this video on McDaniels, it doesn’t appear he’s too confident that either Orton or Simms will be ready.  I know a lot of people are thinking Simms, but it’s a high ankle sprain, emphasis on high.

Possible good news for two thirds of the Denver Broncos backfield today, it looks as if rookie running back Knowshon Moreno and Kyle Orton could be available for the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals in less than two weeks.

There isn’t much of a split amongst the fans of those harbingers from Dove Valley: Trading Jay Cutler was a mistake, but now we hate him, Josh McDaniels may be a genius, but I ain’t seein’ it, Mike Shanahan may have been a better option as head coach this season and Kyle Orton sucks… Or […]

Some unofficial good news out of Dove Valley Monday – the injuries that quarterback Kyle Orton and right guard Chris Kuper sustained during Sunday night’s loss to Chicago appear to be relatively minor, and both starters could possibly be available for the regular season opener in Cincinnati on September 13th. It’s possible they won’t be […]

Chris Simms may be ready before Kyle Orton, and some promising news on Chris Kuper.  [Denver Post] Is Jay Cutler that good, or are the Broncos that bad?  [Latest Word] Last night’s game felt like a playoff game, says SI’s Peter […]

Fans hoping for a Jay Cutler goose egg were disappointed Sunday night, as the former Denver Broncos quarterback finished his starting duties in the second quarter with a 98-yard touchdown drive that put the game out of the reach.
