Carol what's your fave Elway play?
What the heck. It's always a good bump to watch Elway playing.

I'm not Carol, but it's hard to find a play that tops the helicopter. That was the exact moment you knew that Elway was getting a Superbowl ring, or dying trying to get one. It's probably the most powerful moment in Broncos history and one of the top 10 moments in NFL history.
Hard to believe this was 35 years ago today.

On May 2, 1983, John Elway arrived in Denver and changed Broncos Country forever.

I remember being at a SB party where about 50 people were jumping up and down and hugging each other. It was crazy the entire game the electricity in the air. It just had a different feel than the previous SB losses. And you had to live through 4 of them and all the Johnny Carson jokes on late night television about the Broncos being SB losers to understand it. The whole country was laughing at the Broncos as if they were the worst team in football instead of the second best.
But, in that game against the Packers, everybody just felt it from the beginning. "This one is going our way."
Any fan that joined the Broncos bandwagon and did not experience those crushing Super Bowl disasters only to go on to glory will NEVER understand what that true redemption felt like. They could win 10 SBs and nothing will come close to fill those 97-98 victories and what they meant. The Broncos changed their whole history and identity at that point.
I should post pics of my John Elway football card collection that I have been building since I was a kid. I think I have around 800-900 different cards in the collection.
It is John's birthday in 2 days, I think the big 5-8
JFE’s mom just died.
