Happy Gameday, Broncos fans.

A new era begins. I'm so excited. VJ was an even bigger mistake than McDaniels.

Excited to see lock, Rypien, trinity, Winfree on offense and our rookie d linemen and linebackers. Also want to see if Yiadom has progressed and if Sua Cravens finally has his shit together. Lastly, I want to see if we have a dynamic returner on the roster

Go Broncos!

While it's just primarily the backups playing, I'm excited to see the rookie QB's, and how the game is managed by the new coaching staff.

I could care less about the end result - just want to see vast improvement over our previous staff and players.

I for one am excited about some football tonight

Ty Sambrailo is listed as the starting right tackle for the Falcons... He was such an epic bust here - am curious whether he got his shit together or whether the Falcons line is that bad.

Thought with this being the first pre-season game that it would be good to remember what the coaches are looking to accomplish with the game. :D So if things look a bit messy it may just be because they are looking at specific things beyond the success of the play. :eek:

Can guys rush the passer? Can we stop the run? So, it’s an evaluation tool, mainly.

For us, it’s about measuring — we are putting in different schemes, and things don’t necessarily fit what we’re seeing and what we have to teach the quarterback and the players — and you have to install things. So, it’s not always going to be smooth, and vice-versa,” Scangarello said. “...Offensively we’ve just got to gel, [and] we’re coming together. By far, we’re not there, we still have a ways to go, but I feel the confidence.

Looking forward to seeing some of these guys I've been hearing about in camp, and looking forward to seeing Lock play. The best part is we have football every weekend until February now!

Is Hogan starting?
