I could almost tolerate a 2-14 year that involved a sweep of Oakland, and the prime reason I was able to be more or less reconciled with the (mistaken) firing of Shanahan was that he had lost his dark voodoo mojo over Oakland for some reason.

I hate that team. I hate Al Davis. I hate the ******* pseudo tough guy Raider fans. I hate their history, Ken Stabler, Jack Tatum, Lester Hayes, all of it. I won't buy "Madden" because John Madden coached them. On and on and on goes my obsessive hate. They can't suck enough to satisfy my hate.

Awesome. I love that kind of hate.

To me beating the Raiders is the bare minimum acceptable standard for Broncos coaches and teams. You can't win a Superbowl every year, but you must beat the Raiders. Beating the Chiefs and Chargers is fine and dandy too, and beating Philip Rivers is bonus, but in the end its all about the Silver and Black

I agree, the game against the Raiders was one of the toughest games I have ever gone through. I was getting sick to my stomach going into that game yesterday, I was a bundle of nerves. I could not relax, kind of, till we were 32 points up.

I'm just so proud of all of them. Lloyd said on the radio after the SF game that when a team is struggling like the Broncos are that's when finger pointing and complete collapse of locker room can happen. That he was going to look inside himself and see what he could do better and bring to the table. He felt like his team mates would do the same. I'm just soooo happy that they did that. Now if they can play like they did yesterday and not beat themselves, then I will be a happy camper.

Oh what ever voodoo Dr. went down last week, please go back again, getting guys healthy certainly made difference. Seeing the O line having big smiles after the game was priceless!

I just know that my drive to WA tomorrow got a heck of a lot easier.....

I'd like to think the Pep talk Elway gave to the team helped as well.

So you don't like the Raiders.....darn I had the Howie Long Jersey all picked out for you this Christmas................

Got to get to work....my van is not going to pack itself, dang it.

I have to applaud the DJ decision. I preached about how the "right" thing to do was to not let him start but make him play, and he was benched for the first series. McD and the rest of the Broncos decision makers get an A for personnel management and motivation from me. On this assignment.

Elway can be the BRONCOS 'Knute Rockne'! I expect him to be in that locker room standing on the benches giving his speeches every Sunday or gameday!!

And if they offer him an extension I will probably have to become a synchronized swim or figure skating fan or something, or go live in a shack someplace and drink myself into oblivion. He still sucks .

We'll miss ya.

His name is John Elway.

....and they ARE coming off their bye, and prolly getting healthy again.

McDaniels handled DJ right. He handled Elway right (something Shanahan would never do) and acknowledged that calling on the glory of the franchise might help.

But mostly he figured out how to put the damn ball in the end zone in the first quarter which had been KILLING us all season. Tebow needs to run all our 1st-and-goal series, btw.

Now, just as the Oakland game didn't mean as much without the season-killing loss to SF, this win won't mean as much without a follow-up victory in SD.

SD, Rams, KC in the next 3 weeks. Win two of the three and we'd have something to build on. It starts next week.

But for this week, the Broncos came out of the bye with the angry menace I wanted to see. Taking the Chiefs to the woodshed is a good way to make a statement. Don't - DO NOT - let it fall flat by returning to our losing ways a week later.

McD is 1-0 in his last 1 game!

Denver scored in the red zone...

Denver ran the ball...

Denver stopped the run...

Denver was more physical than the opponent...

Denver 'gave-in' to killer instinct and never let KC off the mat...

Usually, good things happen when a team does that.

Good job, boy's...

(...now, if we could get that effort 12-14 games a season - or make that 19 games a season )

don't think a healthy offensive line matters? Just ask the steelers. NE ate them up!
