Week one down now fellas. lots of good stuff. and not as much bad stuff as we seen in preseason. this defense just might be better then expected. although it was agasint Buffalo i know ill definetly take the win.

Impressed with DJ williams and the whole dline. we didnt get a great amount of pressure. but moss had a quiet 3 or 4 tackles

Simeon Rice although only one week of practice played solid with a batted pass.

Didnt see much pressure from doom yet they didnt pass a whole lot and came up with a great INT.

Jay Culter had shaky play at times. but this kid is gonna be for real. Wowsers kid has ice in his veins and never quit. Reminds me of a fella we used to have here.

1 career comeback now.

Travis Henry had 140 yards ran hard. loved the option play. still with out that play he still averages over 5 a carry

Javon Walker was up and down had 9 catches was clutch when we needed it in the end but needs to look the ball in.was bummed with a few of his drops

Man i am just happy with jay right now. made some rookie esqe plays but definetly didnt let him down.

One word:


Defibrillator!

We still need to learn how to finish our drives. So much production between the 20s, but whenever we get close to the endzone the offense fizzles.

I had multiple heart attacks. I looked at my roomie and said "im gonna cry, if we win or lose"
STRESSFUL WIN!

The D was solid, and the O was as well.

When Jay gets a bit more consistent(have to remember this was only his 6th start, 1st opening day start) this O will score a great deal of points.

Cutler 304 yards * 16 games = 4864 yards.

Walker 9 Catches * 16 games = 144 catches.
Marshall 5 catches * 16 games = 80 catches.
Stokely 3 catches * 16 games = 48 catches.
Graham 3 catches * 16 games = 48 catches.

Henry 139 yards * 16 games = 2,224 yards.

Now there is no way in hell that these stats will all end up being as they currently average out but it shows one thing. The explosiveness of old is back in Denver. They just need to stop some of the inconsistent things they did and settle down.

I defeintly aggree with you there. at the begining of the game looked like we had alot of the same issues as last year. the way cutler is playing though i am stoked that he is on our side. i was bummed with his int but well hes gonna give them.

My question is: is the BILLS better than we thought or the BRONCOS not as good as we thought! I'd say Bills did a hell of a job but BRONCOS didn't play their best. Though they have alot of work to do to get better! I'm watching SD and the Raider games ! Let's hope it was first game jitters!

We moved the ball at will no doubt. we really like everyone is saying need to focus on our redzone D loved the Bmarsh td. this was a good game. im glad we had a chance to break in against a team that isnt as good.

Denver needs to work on ther ekiller instinct

One thing I really liked about DJ was he was at the runner often making the tackle.

While Wilson was good I just never found him to be dominating. His best year he had 103 solo tackles, generally he got in the high 70s.

You have people like Ray Lewis that had a best year of 157 solos and usually gets around 115 that is a big difference.

If DJ keeps up what he did today he will get around 112 solo tackles. I care more about those then total tackles because it means he was the first guy there driving the dude down.

I just hope he can keep it up.

I like Cutler, but he is young and makes some mistakes that make me crazy.

Last year I booed Stokley. In fact, I hated him(but he was a Colt). This year is a different story. I see good things with him!

Henry was awesome! He had a good game!

The announcers made Hixon look like he hurt that guy and that made me mad. What was up with the camera shot's of him the entire time the EMT's were on the field? Hixon felt bad you could tell, but it was so not his fault!

What was up with Javon? I love the man, but he dropped a lot today.

Elam is getting older and that scares me, but when it counted the most he came through!

All and all intense game!

Offense ~ I thought the Bills started by trying to take away the run, and force Jay to beat them through the air...........other than a few bad decisions, Jay accomplished this and forced them to play honest. Henry kept plugging away until the holes started to widen. Javon & BMarsh made some big plays, but Javon in particular dropped a few. Pass protection looked a little shaky, and Nalen's shotgun snaps were consistently a little low. We've got to finish drives off though.

Defense ~ LEARN TO FREAKING TACKLE!!!!!! We did a good job of taking away the deep ball, but our tackling At the moment, Ian Gold's looking like a waste of a roster spot.

(Not so) Special Teams ~ See above. I'll let Elam slide, he's earned that, but our coverage and return teams sucked as usual. for getting the FG off in something like 8 seconds though

hey dream!

thanks for the link, i enjoy reading your thoughts.

<fonzie.

I was pleasantly surprised with the defense. Although, Ian Gold misses way too many tackles. He was really pathetic today. I also noticed that Buffalo started running on second and longs when we would sub in our pass rushers.

They try to force it to Javon entirely too much.

Elam has me kind of worried.

Cutler is still freaking out in the heat of the moment...I was hoping that was a thing of he past.

They need to spread it around to Marshall and Graham.

Lee Evans was a non factor...we did a good job on him.

Overall, Id say its a positive win. I was worried more about the defense and they actually came through today. And I dont think we had that many injuries.

dj was really impressive today...if he keeps this up he will have a probowl year.

i hope morgan starts returning punts and kickoffs. special teams is a disaster at the moment.

henry was a beast...i see him getting at least 1600 yards. wow selvin young likes to hit...and a good heads up play by hitting the ball out of bounds. that could have lost us the game if he didnt do that.

elam is usually money but we have the offense to get touchdowns not settle for field goals.


what a crazy game....i'll take a win over an opening day loss any day of the year.
