Kapri Bibbs now gets his shot. Is he the answer the Denver Broncos have been looking for at running back? Is the former Colorado State tailback the solution to the season’s biggest problem? Not that Bibbs needs more motivation, but he can look at former Rams’ teammate Shaquill Barrett for the last little bit. Given his chance, Barrett has…...
The theme of this season was set after Week 1. It’s been consistent ever since. I was the first to mention it after that pulsating win over the Baltimore Ravens. I carried it through in some form or fashion the next three weeks. There’s a slight twist in the 16-10 win over the Oakland Raiders. The Denver Broncos’ “kicking and screaming”…...
By now you’ve heard Derek Wolfe feels like a “caged animal.” He’s ticked off, and he wants to take his aggression out on the Oakland Raiders. That’s great news for the Denver Broncos defense that already is the best in the NFL. One aspect that’s gone overlooked by some/most is a trait this unit has small doses of but doesn’t have…...
Don’t look now but there is hope for the Denver Broncos offensive line yet. It’s not as dire as people make it out to be. It’s not great either (or even good) but no one has taken that leap. The point is: There’s hope for the Broncos offensive line. We caught glimpses of that on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.…...
Give this to the Denver Broncos: At least they’re consistent. Four games into the season, four games where your blood pressure rises and you don’t have any finger nails left. Four games where the theme remains the same: Kicking and screaming. I said it after the first win of the season and it remains true after the 23-20 win over…...
The story remains the offensive line. That was the case for the Denver Broncos back in March before organized team activities started. That was the case for training camp. That remains the case on the eve of the Broncos’ fourth game of the season against the Minnesota Vikings. Remember, it wasn’t Week 5 of last season that Denver figured out…...
There’s been a lot of attention on the Denver Broncos defense. Rightly so. Through the first three weeks of the NFL season, it’s been the best defense in the league. The scary aspect for opponents (intriguing for Broncos fans) is it will only get better. People have focused on the incredible pass rush. When you have the depth and talent Denver…...
In case the rest of the NFL didn’t know, the Denver Broncos defense is really good. Really, really good. There’s a name for it in these parts, and it’s been a long time since we’ve said it with confidence. Fans have wanted to utter the words so badly over the last four years (make it 20) … only to have…...
Somehow, someway the Denver Broncos are 2-0. Despite a 39-year-old quarterback who needs help tying his shoes, an offensive line that couldn’t block air and a running game that would struggle in a walk through, the Broncos have yet to lose this season. In all seriousness, Denver has done in two games what it was incapable of the last three…...
Different week, same result. No, this isn’t about the Denver Broncos winning an exhilarating, heart-attack inducing game for the second straight week. This isn’t about how the Broncos got to 2-0. This is about the complete overreaction from some in Broncos Country and most in the media. At some point, they will figure out it’s not about the middle of…...
Improbable. Unimaginable. Inconceivable. Here’s another way to describe it: Fun. Fun. Fun. Some times in sports there are no words. You just try to make sure what you witnessed did in fact happen. Or try as quickly as you can to forget it. Sorry, Kansas City. How the Denver Broncos beat the Chiefs 31-24 in a game they probably shouldn’t…...
He doesn’t do it for the fanfare. He doesn’t do it for the attention. Peyton Manning does what he does because it’s the right thing to do. Whether it’s giving millions of dollars to Children’s Hospitals in Denver, Indianapolis or Tennessee, or bringing a 45-year-old Rock Springs, Wyo., woman dying of breast cancer to the season opener on Sunday. Manning…...
The Denver Broncos actually lost. They were really blown out in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon at Mile High. There’s no point in even playing the rest of the season. They should just forfeit the remaining 15 games. After all, what’s the point? They have no shot at the AFC West, let alone the AFC or,…...
Wow, defense really does win games. There was a time this was a common occurrence in Denver when it came to the Broncos. After all, the first Super Bowl appearance in the franchise’s history was because of the defense. And solely because of the defense. There’s still a lot of football left, but this Denver defense is really, really good.…...
Here’s a simple question for those who cannot drop this lazy analysis of Peyton Manning: Did you attend a single Denver Broncos practice over the course of training camp or the preseason? I’ll wait. Actually, I won’t because I will be sitting here forever and the games are about to start. Not a single person who has brought forth the lazy,…...
The remnants of the odor from January’s massive stank show will finally get deodorized. With it the speculation. The hyperbole. The rumors. The innuendo about this and that, mostly Peyton Manning and the new offense Gary Kubiak brings to the Denver Broncos. Since the NFL is now a sport that is 365 days, you have to fill the months from…...
For the Denver Broncos to clear that final hurdle, it will not come solely from the arm of Peyton Manning. Since the veteran quarterback signed in the Mile High City, this is the first time it’s not about him. It’s not about how well he plays, how many touchdowns or yards he throws for or if he wears a glove…...
Three weeks into the NFL preseason and the biggest question around the Denver Broncos remains the offensive line. The Broncos entered the season with three guys in Ty Sambrailo, Max Garcia and Matt Paradis, who have never started a game. The right-side of the line, on the other hand, is very good with veterans Louis Vasquez and Ryan Harris. Despite the…...
The chorus from the cheap seats has already started. Not that we should expect anything different at this point given that’s been the refrain for four years. The question will get asked: What did we learn from Peyton Manning’s first performance of the season in a new offense? We learned that he’s a future Hall-of-Fame-quarterback who made his first start…...
Let’s take a painful but crucial trip back to a frigid Jan. 12, 2013 at Mile High. The Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens were entwined in the ultimate game of chicken – what you can do, we can do better. The team that flinched first would leave the loser. The first flinch came on third-and-long for Denver. If the Broncos…...
