Denver and this season

[MCarp71]

Yes, I am a Bronco fan! But I saw a lot of other players on the field. Manning didn't win the game, he was only part of the win. If it wasn't for the line, Mr Hero, could have had another broken neck. Big Question!
Are you a Bronco fan, or just a Manning fan! There is a difference!!

I'm a Bronco fan but you can't deny that he makes everyone around him better. He did it for 14 years in Indy. He's doing it now in Denver. I'm not saying the line didn't do their job and I'm not saying everyone else sucks but face it... Manning is the man! When people talk about Elway they don't say how great his line was in the same breath. It's usually an afterthought. That's just how it works and I'm not the one who controls that. An O-line means nothing w/o a QB behind it that can do what Manning does.

I agree that it was great to finally watch a GOOD Denver football game again. The receivers need to step it up a bit but the offensive line looked fricken excellent. Hopefully this keeps up.

The receiving core will only get better. That was game 1 and the team already played better than I had expected even though I had higher hopes than most. Sure they could regress but I'm excited at the possibilities once they're all on the same page if this is game 1.

I miss Tebow.

I forget who it was but when they made a play or scored ( I wasnt paying attention) they "tebowed" and "Saluted"

It was Von Miller after his 2nd sack near the end of the game. He did it wrong but we all got it. I can't tell you how glad I am that that circus has left town. You can look back a year or so and I was the first to wish him good and hope that he improved but I'm just glad I don't have to wish for a good QB anymore because we have one. No more making up excuses and talking about what might happen down the road. The future is now and experts are now talking about a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in it. 'nuff said.

Uhm, free Big Macs?

I must have missed something along the way, but I'm old.

Please enlighten.

Mcdonalds sent out coupons a wells ago, in side was a key chain for a free big Mac with drink purchase when the broncos win.

Crap! I had one last season but I didn't get one this year. Last year it was a free McMuffin or Big Mac. Didn't get to use it as much as I would have liked but still got my use out of it. I didn't get one this year.

Edit: I just read online that some McDonald's will be giving out the tags 'while supplies last' so I'm going to head down there in a bit to see if ours has any still. That or see if I can find my tag from last year to flash up. Sounds like many McDonald's don't even require the tag for the promo.

I think one of the unsung improvements that really excites me is the work against the run in the middle. Sure the Steelers did a great job bouncing it out and still getting a run game going but I was just about fed up with watching RBs walk through to the second and third levels in the middle last year and for that matter the last few years.

Agreed. I know it's only one game (Don't forget, Denver had the best defense in the league through 6 games not all that long ago) but I saw some promising things from the defense. They got better in areas they needed to get better and are already playing well together. They gave up several things they shouldn't have and blew coverage a few times that wasn't taken advantage of but that will also get better as the season goes on. They have youth at all the positions you want youth and veterans at the positions you want veterans. About the only thing I can say they're missing on the defensive side of the ball is an outspoken captain. Brian Dawkins may have been old and lost a few steps but he was MUCH more to that defense than just a safety. They need someone with that fire and that voice to get the D going. Their star & veteran players are all relatively quiet professionals so I would like to see someone step into that role as the season goes on. Other than that, they held a pretty good and difficult to game-plan for offense to under 20 points. I'm good with that.
