A Very Bad Day at Mile High Stadium

The game yesterday was almost a blow out loss. Everyone is in shock at how badly the Broncos played against the highly touted Detroit Lions, a team with a great record this year.

That being said, I certainly do not want to try and brush it under the rug, but we must move forward.  My contention has been, and continues to be, that the Bronco management should have been playing Tebow since the beginning of the season.

I have no idea what our record would be if they had traded Kyle Orton before the season began and then played Tebow in every game.  How much more cohesive would the team be at this point if that had happened?  No one can answer that one.

Let us move forward and live with the loss. The players have to, so we fans must do the same. We have to remain positive and believe that the team is drilling and practicing every day to get better for the coming game next week.

This week, I cannot say I told ya so, and of course I will not. I will say however, that I believe they will do better and this will become a new beginning for the Denver Broncos if the management and ownership will hold on to the goal and work to achieve it, without going into a panic and changing everything again.

Tebow Scores, the Crowd Roars

Today's game against the Miami Dolphins was a classic for the record books.  For over 3 quarters the Broncos could not get it on, but suddenly, it all exploded with play after play.


In the final 3 minutes of the game...


Broncos get a touchdown, the crowd roars!


Miami challenges the touchdown, it gets reviewed, goes in the Broncos favor, the crowd roars!


Denver scores inside the 2 minute warning, the crowd roars!


Denver converts a 2 pointer after the TD, the crowd roars!


Denver uses the "on side kick", then recovers the ball. The crowd roars!


Denver Defense strips the ball and gets a turnover, the crowd roars!


Denver kicks a field goal to win the game. Again, The CROWD ROARS!


And this game was in MIAMI 


Hate to say I told ya so, but .............. I TOLD YA SO !!!


This amazing game was just a preview of the incredible stuff up ahead since the Bronco management finally decided to play Tebow. Now they do understand. He changed the demeanor of the team.  They got excited and happy, motivated to win.  They Did WIN !!


Now I hope the management understands why they need to play Tebow!

Tebow Generates Ticket Sales - Yup, Told Ya

In Dolphin country, they are experiencing the Tebow Phenom. Ticket sales are brisk, and for the first time in a long while, they may actually sell out a game!  This is one of the things I have been talking about here in Denver. Tebow Sells!

Daily Dolphin Reports

Nearly 20,000 tickets to Sunday’s Dolphins-Broncos game have been sold by the Dolphins and on secondary markets in the nine days since Denver named Tebow as its starting quarterback, Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said Wednesday.

While the Dolphins still have tickets to sell before tomorrow’s 5 p.m. deadline to avoid a television blackout, Dee is “optimistic” that the game between teams with a combined 1-9 record will be sold out. 

There you are. Just one of the many things I have been talking about here.  Denver Bronco Management has been missing out on this amazing Tebow flux, and maybe now they will have bigger ad revenues and if they wins a few games, all the better.

Making the best out of a bad situation is smart, not DUH.

Brandon Lloyd Heads Over to St. Louis and Josh McDaniels

Broncos Trade Brandon Lloyd

Reported on  ESPN's "SportsCenter" on Monday, Lloyd said he was "extremely happy" with the trade. Although the Rams, winless on the season, have struggled offensively, Lloyd said a "jolt of confidence" could be all that it takes to turn their struggling offense around.

"I don't see a terrible situation. I see it as a positive situation," he said.

(really Brandon?  Ya know, Josh McDaniels is the defensive coordinator)

John Elway announced the trade on Twitter:

"We appreciate all the hard work that Brandon did during his three years in Denver and wish him the best with the Rams...," John wrote.

"I'm excited about our wide receiver group -- This is as healthy as we've been at that position since the start of the year. Our young WRs have really emerged and made some plays, and this is a great opportunity for them to continue to step up," Elway stated.

The NFL's trade deadline is Tuesday

Lloyd is doomed to work for Josh McDaniels again, who is the Ram's Defensive Coordinator now. What is positive about that?

Lloyd is in the final year of his deal that pays him about $1.4 million this season.

Tim Tebow Finally Gets his Change at Starting QB

                                                       Picture Credit to Rick Wilking at Reuters 

Tebow is finally going to get his chance to play as the starter.Denver Broncos Head Coach John Fox had to make the switch last Sunday after Kyle Orton couldn't get the fire started against San Diego.  Tebow almost won the game, but that was not the most important aspect of it this time.  Fox needed proof that Tebow is all he is cracked up to be, and now Fox knows his team has the best chance to win using Tebow.

If Fox had started Tebow from the start, I am guessing the record would be much better, like 3 and 2, or 2 and 3, or 4 and 1. At any rate, there are a lot of games left to allow Tebow to learn how to get his team into the W column. All this time he has been sitting on the bench.  What a shame that has been.  Now after a bye week, we are all expecting to see him start the next game against the Miami Dolphins in Miami. That game will be on October 23rd.

Many of us sports bloggers and amateur enthusiasts have been saying Tebow should play ever since the season started.  We are rooting for him and hoping he can make a great showing and stay in place.  Go Tim!  I do not care about his celebrity, but others do and every game he plays in will get a wider audience due to his being in the game.  I have pointed this out in the past to make the point that the "McDaniels Style" of football management which the Broncos have been using, just does not produce results.

My compliments to the Bronco management for finally getting off the old soft pillow!

Tebow named Broncos starting QB

We Lost Again - Shucks - Broncos 1 and 4 - Time to Srart Tebow

Well now Denver is 1 and 4. Orton again displayed his mediocrity, and Tebow demonstrated what I have been talking about all along.  He tried to rally the team to victory and almost pulled it off, but the damage done was too great to overcome later in the game.

I keep saying that they should start Tebow.  He generates a lot of excitement from the team members, and gets the mindset going in the winning direction. That is an intangible quality which goes along with his abilities to create the opportunity to Win. 

Why they decided to start Orton from game 1 forward is a mystery, but now maybe they will be able to see the light.  What happened yesterday is a visible and memorable demonstration of what the immediate future could be if they would just do what they should have done in the first place:  Start Tebow!

Broncos have no choice: Start Tebow

More Losses for the Broncos - Packers 49, Broncos 23

Well there it is, another loss.  Guess the Broncos better get used to it because with this current plan, losses are all they will see.  This Green Bay offense is more high powered than any they have faced so far, but if that assumption is true, there is a lineup of high powered offenses up ahead, and more losses for the Broncos.


For this game with Green Bay, you cannot make the simple argument that Tim Tebow would have won it hands down, but one thing I do know is that he would have the entire team fired up big time, and they would have played a better game.  To what degree is anyone's guess.


Broncos management has set up a mediocre plan, and the result is mediocrity. I guess that is about all we can expect this season.  It just makes me wonder because it is reminding me of last year so far.
