Tim Tebow didn’t look like a starting quarterback today, but neither did the rest of the team.

The Broncos had missed tackles, field goals, blocks and even blown coverages, but in the end Denver walked away with a win.

It was a combination of Defense, Offense, Tim Tebow and 2 incredible kicks from Matt Prater, one was the onside kick followed by the 52 yard field goal.

Denver had big hits from the special teams and DJ Williams..Demaryius Thomas had some great catches and Tebow caught fire the last few series of the football game. I am proud of how the Broncos fought back and how they rallied around Tebow to take this game over and pull out a win.

I like Orton, but I do not believe the Broncos would have won this game with him at QB instead of Tebow.

Do I think Tebow is better?

I think he still has a lot to prove to be good enough to keep starting, Tim has drive, passion and a will to win and he also knows how to rally a team around him (offense and defense).

Bottom line..I think Denver can win any game that Tebow plays in because he is a winner and he generates excitement!!

Johns impressed with what he see’s with Teboe. “Tim Teboe is a competitor and you can’t teach that”   and “he’s a  great leader on the offensive side of the ball but he’s young”. John explains that the familiarity that Kyle Orton has with his line and receivers gives him a half a second head start on Teboe which gives you that much more time to make an accurate throw.  He predicts Kyle will have a much better year this year than last because of that experience.

As far as Coach McDaniels goes he came in new to a team that was known for not finishing well. After a great start of 6-0 last year and then to end 8-8 was quite an eye opener for Josh.

Elvis Dumerville with a torn pectoral muscle will be out for  4- 5 months leaving a huge hole that will be hard to fill.

“Every player is injured by the end of the year. You have to learn to play injured, that’s part of the game.” Karl Mecklenburg during the pre-game show.

Check out the depth chart for the Broncos here.

Tim Tebow is expected to be seen tonight.

Ed McCaffrey was a favorite Denver Bronco while he was playing the game both on and off the football field,  in all of his commercials and Eddie is still looked up to by anyone who has had the opportunity to hear him speak or see him work with kids. His huge heart is immediately apparent and you feel blessed by having met him. McCaffrey is once again sponsoring a football camp for kids in Highlands Ranch Colorado this summer.

Both boys and girls age 8-15, of all levels of skill are invited to participate in this camp as long as they have a passion for the game of football, and a desire to learn more. Campers will be organized by age and ability at the start of camp and will all progress through our drill stations and compete in 7 on 7 with the same group throughout the week. If your child has several years of football playing under their belt the Elite Camp is recommended. It happens the same days but runs during the afternoon hours from 12:30-3:30 p.m.

The broncos looked a little off this week.

They played hard, but the Ravens seemed to want it more! I am not sure why the Broncos offense could not move the ball..was it because the Raven defense was so good or was the Bronco offense just not in sync? The Baltimore Ravens had a must win situation because 3-4 would be tough to come back from.

They had a good first half, but that kickoff return for a touchdown by the Ravens at the start of the second half,took the air out of the Broncos. As soon as the Ravens got that 9 point lead, the defense came alive and shut Denver down.

The Broncos defense played a good game, but were on the field too long in the second half to keep Baltimore from scoring. The Broncos couldn’t run the ball and had a hard time passing..The second half adjustments that Coach McDaniels had done so well, seemed to work on the first drive of the second half when the Broncos moved down the field and scored a touchdown (with a little help from a couple of penalties.) But the Raven offense also came to life and scored some points of their own. The difference seemed to be that the Raven offense had longer, sustained drives, that kept the Broncos defense on the field and wore them down.

I still believe the Broncos are a great team and they had an off week, but also ran into a team that was hungry for a win. I think Denver will beat the Steelers on Monday night and be back on track.. I know it is a bold statement, but winning at home is crucial this year and think the Broncos can do that! I think Coach McDaniels will have the Broncos ready because he was not happy with the performance today!

Can’t help but write about the incredible job that Coach  Josh McDaniels is doing so far! these guys are playing as a TEAM and have a winning attitude!! The way the coaching staff makes adjustments at half time is amazing..they come out the second half with new life and alot of stamina.

I was one that thought it was going to be an OK season (9-7). The way they are playing they could do far better than that! The next few games will tell the story- @ Baltimore, Steelers, Redskins and Giants..that would scare any team. Josh has them ready to play every week. His enthusiasm and youth seem to be contagious, and Mike Nolan has the defense playing with fire and a will to finish off the other team!!

I give them a chance to win every time they step on the field. What do you think?

I know what many people are saying” jumping on the band wagon” or  “they are not as good as they look”

But, you have to give credit where credit is due..they beat Dallas, New England and San Diego(in San Diego) and remember the division we are in(not that great). I believe we have a great chance to win the division and go to the playoffs! Where we go from there is icing on the cake!

Kyle Orton is doing all he is asked, 1 int in 6 games and not making bad decisions! Brian Dawkins, Elvis Dumerville, Champ are leading the defense. And how can we forget Eddie Royal TD run backs on a kickoff and a punt, in the same game!!!!

All I can say is- GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!

I love football..especially the Broncos!

It will be fun to see the competition throughout camp and see how many new starters there will be..going to a 3-4 defense will be quite a change in its self, not to mention the changes in offense! Should be an exciting season coming up..no matter how good or bad they do, we are looking at the dawning of a new Bronco team…I will be backing them all the way (Diehard fan!!)

I Wonder what part Brandon Marshall will play in the teams success or defeat..will he be a distraction..will the Broncos trade him or will he come out on FIRE and blow away everyones expectation..Let me know what you think?

Check out this video on the best of Brandon Marshall in his 2008 Denver Broncos Season!

I like the new coaching staff and the new outlook on the team. Josh McDanials is a bright young coach, who i believe will motivate this team and instill a winning attitude.

I like the free agents they signed, especially on the defensive side, ie: Brian Dawkins and Andrea Goodman.  They got more defense when they drafted Robert Ayers, Alphonso Smith and Darcel McBath. Also, we picked up a great running back, Knowshon Moreno from Georgia. He has lots of speed and will take presure off of the QB’s.

Jay Cutler was a great quarterback and will be a star someday(if he can adjust his attitude and get thicker skin) but it wasn’t here. We will do well with the quaterbacks we have, no matter who starts!

New year, new system, new lease on life. I think the players (new and old) will embrace this change, play hard as a team and win as a team!

2009 Bronco Draft

I was a little surprised when the Broncos took  a running back as their first pick in the draft, I thought they would go more for Linebackers and Defensive front three.  I think the biggest surprises to me were Alphanso Smith a CB and S Darcel McBath. The broncos seem to address the defensive backfield in the off season, with the addition of Brian Hawkins( I think this is awesome addition, his intensity and love for the game are second to none) and CB Andre’ Goodman from the Dolphins.

You just never know what is going to happen on draft day. Hopefully they did enough in the draft and free agency to fill the holes.

What are your thoughts on draft day for the Broncos, let me know!
