Yep...We basically are considering this a 5th pre-season game (not that we really treated any game this season like anything other than a meaningless vanilla pre-season game)

It took Giants fans 15 years out of the postseason (1964-78) to revolt. You're proposing this after one non-playoff season in 6. Spoiled.

James Merilatt @jamesmerilatt
I'm proposing a one-game revolt. The Broncos are giving fans no reason to go to SAF on Sunday. So don't. Seems logical to me.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 42m

No, he has not.

Sean Engelhart @ENGE7HART
@MaseDenver Has Ware given any indication on future plans?

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 16m

#Broncos Brandon Marshall at practice today. I expect him to play this Sunday. No Wolfe or Derby at workout. @DenverChannel

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 34m

Jack Del Rio on conf. call here asked if he can do everything he wants on offense w/ Matt McGloin: "Well, we're getting ready to find out."

TV maps are up. Most of the country will get to see a team that is out of the playoffs play a team with a backup QB:

Gary Kubiak: "I think Trevor deserves the right to go back out there as a starter." Both will play.

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 12m12 minutes ago

Trevor Siemian on wanting to get the taste of last Sunday out of his mouth: "I'd like to play today, truthfully."

Nicki Jhabvala ‏@NickiJhabvala 32m32 minutes ago

Kubiak: "I think Virgil (Green) has an excellent chance to get here Sunday." ... concussion

Looks good for tight end Virgil Green to play this week for #Broncos

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 36m

#Broncos Kubiak described play of tackles just like offense "inconsistent".

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 9m9 minutes ago

#Broncos are placing OLB DeMarcus Ware on injured reserve with back injury. He played 10 games this season with 4 sacks.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 7m7 minutes ago

Ware, 34, is a free agent after the season. This could be the end of his time with the Broncos and possibly his career.

Cameron Wolfe ‏@CameronWolfe 7m7 minutes ago

Kayvon Webster has battled injuries all season, with hammy now concussion. Going to IR. He's also a free agent after the season.

Why didn't we bring Peko up ages ago? You know instead of 1,900 WR's...

Apparently, Peko doesn't have the innate ability to muff/fumble punts. Those are the types of guys we like to have active one game day.

Elway Access: Looking at the big picture
In his weekly interview, John Elway talks about what was missing on this year's Broncos team and what's first on his offseason list.

Ever since Kilgo was let go, I always thought Peko would be the next man up. It just never happened for some reason.
