As a devout Denver Broncos fan it feels good to have my team as one of the only 2 teams in the AFC with an undefeated record of 5-0. Having the crazy offseason that we had everybody in football society had wrote Denver off. The offseason was a wild one indeed, and it pushed me to the limit as a fan. I felt that with the firing of Mike Shanahan was not in good taste due to the fact that we finished 8-8, and we had about 5 running backs injured. With a couple offseason key additions Corey Buckhalter and Brian Dawkins I felt that we were on a good track. Then came the dilemma with Jay Cutler and the new coach Josh McDaniels, which led to us trading our "Franchise Quaterback Jay Cutler" and received some draft picks and...Kyle Orton. At first I didn't like Orton for our quarterback but I felt like base on his last year stats that he was coming into a great situation. He was surrounded by a plethora of weapons with Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley, Tony Scheffler, Corey Buckhalter, Peyton Hillis, and Knowshon Moreno. Going from throwing to an unestablished receiver/elite return specialist (Devin Hester), and a rookie halfback (Matt Forte) and a good tight end(Greg Olsen) to those weapons I named is like going to quarterback heaven. Denver had a rough start going 1-3 in the preseason. During that time these dilemmas with our Franchise WR(B Marshall), which you can refer to my previous post about him and that situation. Even after all of that I was still excited to see the new system and new defense. At 5-0 Denver is finally getting the respect that they deserve. The defense is one of the best in the league and Kyle Orton has been playing great football. He threw his first interception of the year last game but it was a hial mary pass which Randy Moss picked off(which was his only catch of the day s/o Champ Bailey) The rest of the schedule is still tough but i think Denver Broncos really believe in themselves and this system. I am content but Monday night vs rival's Sand Diego Chargers will be tough, hopefully we win.
