Analyzing player performances from the Denver Broncos‘ 16-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, highlighting the good and the bad. Stud: Brandon Lloyd Forget Brandon Marshall, we’ve got Brandon Lloyd. Lloyd, who leads the NFL in receptions of 40 or more yards, had another big game, 7 catches for 169 yards and his fourth […]

In this season’s annual international game neither team gave the English crowd much to root for or get excited about.  The Broncos and Niners traded possession three times before the “home team”  was able to put together a steady drive ending  up with a field goal by former Bronco Joe Nedney.  The Broncos were unable to sustain […]

I enjoyed Woody Paige‘s Sherlock Holmes piece on the Broncos‘ gameplan, right up til the end. Keep things simple on offense, but employ more Tim Tebow. That is a mystery. Josh McDaniels‘ London approach: sleep on the plane. Mike Singletary‘s: enjoy the culture. Which approach was right? We won’t know until Sunday. Some background into […]

Josh McDaniels is on the hot seat, but his players are saying the right things. Since they come from the same coaching system, Alex Smith‘s struggles in the NFL have some scouts believing the Broncos should take their time with Tim Tebow. Knowshon Moreno‘s role in the offense is expanding beyond “a two-down player,” says […]

Going into the fourth quarter of Sunday’s spanking, courtesy of the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos were bitterly trailing 59-14.  With the ball sitting on the 10 yard line, Kyle Orton came trotting in with his head down, staring at his feet, along with his 10 broken and bleeding teammates. With the game clearly out of […]

Neither Pat Bowlen, nor his public persona Joe Ellis, will comment on the Fiasco at Invesco. Klis opens his mailbag with a parallel to Tennessee, who bounced back from a 59-0 loss to win five straight last year. Can the Broncos bounce back too? Is Tim Tebow in 2010 the answer? Why didn’t McDaniels give […]

Fans show their displeasure, players and coach say they have every right to. – Denver Post McDaniels post game interview, “That’s an embarrassing performance and it starts with me.” – 850 KOA One has to wonder is this the turning point for the Raiders as an organization? – ESPN AFC West Blog Woody Paige goes […]

There’s a perfectly-worded poll currently running on the Denver Post’s website. It asks, “Do you believe Broncos coach Josh McDaniels can keep his team from quitting on him this season?” The choices: “No. The loss to the Raiders shows they’ve already quit,” and, “Yes. I think the Broncos will rebound and at least keep trying.” […]

Three players were listed as questionable on the Denver Broncos‘ injury report, but only Eddie Royal was thought to be a serious threat not to play. Fret not, Broncos fans and fantasy owners — the wide receiver is good to go. Expect Royal, cornerback Champ Bailey, and defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson to all dress against […]

It took a season and a half, but it seems like something finally clicked in Josh McDaniels’ head. In a game everyone thought would be a blowout, the Denver Broncos came within a pass interference penalty of upsetting perhaps the AFC’s top team, the New York Jets, and fell 24-20 after Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton […]
