I’m starting to get a little worried for Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour. “You can mark it down,” Seymour told a Cincinnati sports radio talk show Wednesday. “The Raiders will be in the playoffs.” The Raiders — in the playoffs?  Upon hearing this proclamation, even Al Davis reportedly rolled his eyes. But hold your […]

Our weekly perusal around the Interwebz for water cooler fodder. ESPN: 4th This is a very well-balanced team that doesn’t beat itself and has maximized its personnel. That is awfully good coaching. BroncoTalk: 3rd Glaring Stat: The Denver Broncos defense has allowed a league low third down conversions (26.9%).

Denver Broncos punter Brett Kern didn’t have a good Monday night. The San Diego Chargers‘ Darren Sproles answered Eddie Royal‘s heroics with a 77-yard punt return touchdown of his own, and the Broncos’ second-year punter only pinned one of three other punts behind the 20 (two touchbacks). As a result, the Broncos worked out veteran […]

It’s a fact of life — Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler will forever-be linked, examined, scrutinized, and compared to one another for the rest of their NFL careers.  It doesn’t matter that the Broncos received two first-round draft picks along with Orton; Orton and Cutler’s successes and failures will be placed in juxtaposition to one […]

The latest weekly goodness from the Broncos. View the full press release here (.pdf). Following their 34-23 win at San Diego on Monday Night Football, the Denver Broncos (6-0) join five other NFL teams with a bye for Week 7 of the 2009 season. The club resumes play on Nov. 1 when it visits Baltimore […]

My power rankings are fittingly named the ‘Tentative Ten’ because every week it’s subject to check, and erratically at that. Also featured is a Rookie, Defensive, and Offensive Player of the Year Watch, and a Coach of the Year Watch. Sorry about no post last week, I was stricken with the swine flu and trust me […]

Dressed in the Denver Broncos‘ classic “seal brown” from head to toe, Eddie Royal returned both a kickoff and punt for a touchdown Monday night. The last Bronco to do that was Al Frazier on December 3, 1961. Frazier was also wearing those seal brown colors — the second-to-last time Denver would wear them, before […]

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler made a big fuss to get himself traded out of Denver.  Some believed his relatively lightweight rookie contract had a lot to do with it. Those conspiracy theorists have a bit more ammo today. The NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora is reporting that Cutler’s new team, the Chicago Bears, have […]

Not since 1961 had a Denver Bronco returned both a kickoff and punt for a touchdown in the same game (halfback Al Frazier), but that’s exactly what wide receiver Eddie Royal did Monday night. Royal returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Broncos’ 34-23 win over the San […]

Repeat after me, Denver Broncos fans: The Broncos have a pass rush. Sounds good, doesn’t it? We’ve only been waiting ten years or so to say it. The Broncos have tallied 21.0 sacks on the season, good for first place in the AFC and tied for first in the NFL. No one in the NFL […]
