Broncos lose but looked better than I expected

So I watched most of the game last night against Seattle. I was impressed with the play execution the Broncos had during the first 2 quarters. They seem to have developed a series of fast action short yardage pass plays, and they performed these plays well. I was both surprised and impressed.

Things fell apart later with more interceptions and some botched plays, but my take on this is that they do have a winning strategy in the play selection because Seattle's defense was very off balance during a good part of the 1st and 2nd quarters.

They have to keep it up over the entire game for all 4 quarters!

The other problem I see is RED ZONE-ITIS. Again, like last year with Cutler, they get a lot of offense but can't get in the zone and get the 6. That is the other part but overall I was impressed with the game performance by the Broncos and Orton.

Orton completed 18 of 26 passes for 182 yards. He threw one interception. Orton played into the third quarter. It is clear Orton will be given every opportunity to keep his starting job.

Broncos see quiet steady progress in Seattle

They need to get the Headphones working!
