The Denver Broncos were once one of the marquee franchises in the NFL. Pat Bowlen was a great owner, Mike Shanahan was a top-notch coach and John Elway was a Hall of Fame quarterback. Now, when I assemble my first power poll for the 2009 season, I'm considering putting the four UFL teams and half of the SEC ahead of the Broncos. Whacking Shanahan for Josh McDaniels ... JMcmullen1@comcast.net (John McMullen) Denver Broncos 2009-06-18T04:02:43-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/13828 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/13828 I'm not sure where it all started, but the new breed of NFL coaches is ruled by ego. Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels is just the latest megalomaniac to rise to the top of the NFL mountain. Denver fans, along with the team's front office, were convinced they had their heir-apparent to John Elway a year ago. Fast-forward a year later, and it's almost unthinkable how quickly McDaniels shifted ...

The average person will gravitate toward one side for a plethora of reasons that can involve everything from family ties to patriotism to the color of a jersey. In the Jay Cutler-Josh McDaniels fiasco, though, I find myself unable to pick a favorite.

Commentary: Both Young and Scheffler reportedly suffered groin injuries in the Tampa Bay game, joining Ebenezer Ekuban in groin-related woes and really begging the question of what’s up in that area in Bronco Land. While Ekuban is now ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Denver Broncos 2008-10-09T14:25:18-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12745 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12745 A bit gun-shy after taking a bath last week in betting a sizable fraction of the gambling bankroll on the Chicago Bears, this punter’s giving it a go again this week. (After all, a pattern is beginning to emerge here: Week 3, loss; Week 2, win with the Buffalo Bills at the Jacksonville Jaguars; Week 1, loss on all things Oakland Raiders; Super Bowl, win with the New York Giants easily ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Denver Broncos 2008-09-26T04:46:22-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12731 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12731 Let’s see, after three games, old AFC reliables in the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts have suffered from too many dead key men walking; near-championship threats the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars have been exposed as mortals; the San Diego Chargers have not quite finished their customary 1-3 hole to start the season but remain primed for a just-too-low playoff seed; ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Denver Broncos 2008-09-25T04:13:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12649 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12649 Though two games hardly a season make and the Denver Broncos hardly have anything wrapped up with 88.2 percent of their contests left to play, something profound has happened to this 7-9 team of 2007 that many (ahem) reckoned for a sub-.500 level in '08. Sure, the Broncos eked out the win against the San Diego Chargers maybe even courtesy of a bad call Bolts fans will be burning about for ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Denver Broncos 2008-09-16T04:11:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12590 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12590 The message from the Denver Broncos-Oakland Raiders Monday night game? Simple: This is why you shouldn’t make predictions before Week 1. Reckoning that the Raiders’ new-look, all-star secondary would give Jay Cutler fits while the little-augmented Denver ground defense (30th in the NFL last season) would allow Darren McFadden, Justin Fargas and company to run wild, this writer had a ... os_davis@yahoo.com (Os Davis) Denver Broncos 2008-09-09T04:20:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12282 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12282 The thread on Broncos Country, a Denver-based fan forum, titled "Roger Goodell is an IDIOT", is certainly attention-grabbing. Is it the true reflection of what Broncos fans feel over wide receiver Brandon Marshall's two-game suspension (and a third game if he doesn't agree to undergo counseling)? Maybe not, but the inflammatory rhetoric spewed from Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, is ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Denver Broncos 2008-08-06T10:55:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12235 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12235 Some NFL teams present the new season to their fans as being something different than the prior year. It's not just a marketing gimmick for the Broncos. Already having lost franchise-leading wide receiver Rod Smith to retirement, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that Denver and defensive captain John Lynch "have agreed to part ways," possibly a precursor to retirement for the 15-year ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Denver Broncos 2008-07-31T09:17:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12185 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/12185 Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday. Smith played 13 seasons, all in Denver, and finished with 849 catches for 11,389 yards and 68 touchdowns. He posted 1,000-yard receiving seasons in eight of his 13 years with the Broncos. Commentary: Not bad for an undrafted free agent from Missouri Southern University.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Hillis' signing puts five of the Broncos' nine draft picks under contract. Broncos rookie contract status as of July 16 1 (12).

They also came to terms on four-year deals with their other fifth-rounder, DT Carlton Powell, and sixth-round LB Spencer Larson. In addition, Denver renegotiated a deal with seventh-round safety Joshua Barrett, who had previously agreed to a deal that the NFL rejected for reasons that ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Denver Broncos 2008-07-10T09:56:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/11890 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/11890 Normally, fans wouldn't pay much attention to a receiver who left and had considerably less success with his new team. Ashley Lelie has 38 catches in the last two years, 28 with Atlanta in 2006 and 10 with San Francisco in 2007. He finished with 42 catches with the Broncos in 2004. Yet a thread on Broncos Country is gaining some attention discussing one poster's nostalgia for the former Broncos ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Denver Broncos 2008-07-04T12:26:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/11782 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/broncos/11782 It's not as if Broncos fans on the Broncos Country forum are jumping on the anti-Brandon Marshall bandwagon. Judging by the volume collecting in just a few hours after the Denver Post reported the receiver's third arrest in 12 months, it seems they are each starting their own. This time, Marshall is accused of hitting his girlfriend on March 6 in Atlanta. He was also arrested for driving under ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Denver Broncos 2008-06-26T01:36:00-05:00
