Four years ago, after four up and down seasons with the Broncos, Jake Plummer was benched and succeeded by then-rookie quarterback Jay Cutler – despite the fact that Plummer had the team sitting at 7-4. Now in hindsight, the move by then-Head Coach Mike Shanahan to bench and ultimately trade Plummer has been ridiculed as one […]

Sobering truth from ESPN and longtime-Denver Broncos insider Adam Schefter: Josh McDaniels isn’t going anywhere. According to Schefter, the Broncos will stick with (be stuck with?) their head coach through 2011: Broncos scheduled to pay Josh McDaniels through 2012, Mike Shanahan through 2011. No way Pat Bowlen pays three HCs in 2011. McDaniels safe. The […]

The San Francisco Chronicle has their game review up.  You would’ve thought we lost 59-14 reading this.  – SF Gate Compare that to the BT post game, it was close with the Broncos offense squandering too many early opportunities.  – Broncotalk My eyes must have deceived me, Bill Williamson states that it was not a […]

Darrelle Revis is 25.  Champ Bailey is 32. Age notwithstanding, they’re the game’s best. The Ravens took advantage of defensive lineups where Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan weren’t on the field. The Jets will try to exploit the Broncos‘ young o-line with exotic blitz packages. Eerie similarities exist between Josh McDaniels‘ second Broncos unit and […]

Keeping tabs on key performers who once bled orange and blue. Mike Shanahan Record: 1-2 Streak: Lost 2 Stat Line: Offense: 340.0 ypg (13th). Defense: 423.7 ypg (32nd) It was a rough week for Mike Shanahan. Shanahan’s ‘Skins became the first team to lose to the St. Louis Rams in St. Louis’ Edward Jones Dome […]

No one in their right mind (or our comments section) predicted that the Denver Broncos would lose to the Seattle Seahawks. So good job guys, I myself came within seven points of predicting the final score. I also predicted that the Seahawks offensive line would make the Broncos defense look a lot better than it […]

Once upon a time — 2008 — the Mike Shanahan-led Denver Broncos were 8-5, boasted Pro Bowlers Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, and were apparently playoff-bound. The future was bright. Then, in three horrific weeks, the wheels fell off. Shanahan was fired. Cutler was traded. And Marshall pretended to be a punter. For better or […]

Coach of the Week Gary Kubiak – The student becomes the master. Kubiak pulled a Shanny on Mike Shanahan when he called a last minute timeout before Graham Gano’s would-have-been 56 yard field goal. Rookie of the Week Jahvid Best – Best rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles. That alone would […]

Just exactly how many sacks will Sam Bradford endure this Sunday? The rookie has looked like the real deal, but will it transition to the regular season? Darnell Dockett would sure like to welcome him to the NFL. Mike Singletary has quietly been putting together one of the toughest and meanest defenses in the NFL, […]
