Denver Mike

Condolences from Broncos Country. May his friends and family find peace. Drive safe everybody. Always peek over your shoulder back at your children to make sure they're wearing their seat belts or helmets

Don't worry. We'll punch it to Oakland twice for you guys this year.

I'm very excited for our D this year. But the game went about as much as I expected. There's a lot we have to figure out on offense if we want to contend. Very good game Baltimore. Don't want to see you again in January..

Regardless of the picksix, Flacco had a solid game. The guy always plays solid. His only faults this game was one bad throw and no o-line.

I hope he's fine too, Suggs is a hell of a defender. You guys will have a solid group all season

The whole game was ugly, but it had an acceptable outcome

Thats all fanfiction. Peyton Manning has a no-trade clause in his contract. Elway knows it, the whole FO knows it. It was part of his terms when signed.

You give Fox and Gase waay too much credit. Though I agree with what you're thinking on the outside looking in. You know significantly more about your franchise than I do. In Denver' I've seen Foxy and Gase. Fox is a darn good football coach and I wish him well. But he won't be winning a Superbowl in this generation of football. Look at the talent this team has had and we were under prepared for the SuperBowl. With him we had a lot of team arrests and partying incidents whereas even though its not a coaching problem its a severe lack of discipline. Jack Del Rio left us to coach the Raiders due to lack of discipline. Fox was the Grandpa who spoils your kid. Gase on the other-hand makes me vomit. He didn't take Peyton to a new level, Peyton audibled half his own plays. Gase's offense was destroyed by 35 points in the Superbowl. I am much happier with Kubiak's offensive system he has planned for us over Gase's bar none.

Not a bad theory. However I don't feel thats the case at all. Kubiak spent a majority of his life/career in Denver and still has a house there. He knows how Elway works and visa versa. Considering Elway played with him and for him when he won back-to-back Superbowl titles. Elway knows how to win a SB with an ageing body. And the other components that go with. He's taken our D to the next level, our WR's and amped our running game. Then he brings in one of the best O-line specialists in Kubiak who has a passion for the team. Regardless of our QB, I think Elway wanted him. And he knows that both Peyton and Kubiak are veteran pros. They will co-exist if they want the ring. /twocents

Regardless the outcome, the teams facing head to head wont be the same two teams that can potentially face eachother in the post season. Demaryius has been holding out and has had little camp time with our 1's this off season, Peyton's got his ? marks, and our o-line is completely suspect. I am hoping these are things that our coaching can pan out as the season progresses. Eitherway, this should be a really good game. I have a lot of respect for the Baltimore franchise and Harbaugh. I stand with the majority in hoping that we get to the end of this game injury free. I will admit, Doom was one of my favorite guys to suit up in Denver Orange. It will be a tear jerker to see him returning home to Denver sacking our QB..

My boy Von Miller's about to go Kaioken x100!

I am also curious to see how Demaryius Thomas does against your secondary. I was very uncomfortable with the guy's contract we just gave him. Dude got paid. I want to see what we strapped our team to.

Elway likes his organization very cloak and dagger. All we get out of the staff and players is simply 'coack talk'. Where they make comments like: progress every day, having brilliant strides, etc. Not a lot of negative, however who knows what that really could mean. I truly expect it be an even balance. I think we're going to rely a lot on our running game and Kubiak's zone-blocking system. Manning will likely have to grit his teeth and go with an 'average' to 'decent' stats-sheet this season, Kubiak made it clear that Peyton will get as much rest a possible. I expect to see him as more of a game manager. That may sound disrespectful when it comes to Manning, but it's really not. He can't be expected to carry the entire load, people can talk smack on his failures in the post season, but everyone ignores that his team implodes around him as well.

I for one am very excited for this game. There are a lot of question marks on Kubiak's offense. I know what our team can get out of Peyton. I am confident he can play with what he has. I want to see what we've got out of our running unit. I want to see CJ Anderson flourish. Defensively I am tremendously excited to see Wade Phillips' group with Miller and Ware back in their respective Pass-Rush positions. We started the preseason with 7 sacks from 7 different players I do believe. So Wade appears to be mixing it up out there. I will admit I haven't seen much of Baltimore lately. But I respect Harbaugh's teams too much to expect it to be an easy win. I am with those on the board that predict a low game. Denver: 17 Baltimore: 10
