Six observations from Sunday’s 23-49 loss to the Green Bay Packers. 1. John Fox kept Tim Tebow sidelined in the fourth quarter, with the game out of hand, and it made it absolutely no sense. The Denver Broncos, down 49-17 with 7:46 left in the game, were not coming back from a 32-point deficit. Any […]

Winnable losses are always the toughest to swallow. A yard here, better coverage there, or a pass that isn’t tipped there — the Denver Broncos execute any of these plays a little better, and they are 2-1 with an impressive, defensive, John Fox-ball road win over the Tennessee Titans.

Boomer Esiason says Tim Tebow doesn’t stand a chance. [USA Today] Joe Montana says he does, and thinks working on Tebow’s footwork, not throwing motion, is the most important task for the Broncos QB. [USA Today] Woody Paige isn’t jumping on the Tebow-bashing bandwagon. [Denver Post] Mike Klis isn’t either. [Denver Post] Coach Fox hinted […]

One wonders if Steve Atwater could have functioned in today’s NFL at all. Denver Broncos safety Rahim Moore has been fined $20,000 for his hit on Buffalo Bills WR Donald Jones Saturday, 9 News Denver reports. Moore, the Broncos’ second round draft choice, didn’t launch himself at the receiver, and he led with his shoulder […]

[NFL.com] Rahim Moore “didn’t launch himself at his opponent and led with his shoulder as taught.” [NFL.com] Moore insists the hit was clean and didn’t intend to hurt anybody.
