I don't get all the doom and gloom.

Sp has hinted at so many things, just need to pay attention. 35-9 Broncos stampede the faid for a big Broncos home opener win.

I’m here for this

I'm expecting the offense to be at least as entertaining as the current drama between Josh McDouche and Chandler Jones.

Maybe Chandler Jones Peyton Hillis'ed dude's wife.

When asked about the plan on offense with our WR group being short handed Sutton just said “It’s going to be fun”.

I sure hope so, looking forward to seeing the plan!!

The only thing I’m worried about is Jacobs vs VJ. If Jacobs runs all over per our usual, it could be a long day. I’m really hoping CJ has an answer in store (like having a beast at ILB in Sanders whose whole job is to meet Jacobs in the hole and make him go backwards all day). Jimmy G doesn’t scare me in the least.

Josh Jacobs vs AZ defense last year 19 for 69 yds= 3.6 yds a carry. The whole team rushed for 80 yds because Carr rushed once for 9 yds, and some other guy got 2 yds.
OTOH, AZ rushed 28 times for 143 yds, 5.1 yds average on the raiders.

AZ won 29-23.

We paid a record amount for some road graders along the OL and loaded up on blocking TEs.

How about we roll out an assembly line of power runs straight up and down and let Russ win it in the 4th Q?

You know the kind of righteous sh*t that stacked up win after win for Wilson season after season in Seattle? Let's stone these silver and black clowns back to old school football and when they're gassed out sucking wind go over the top.

I ain't mad at it. As Ziggy pointed out earlier, we're not exactly flush with healthy receiver talent, so heavy sets are probably going to be a big chunk of the game plan. May as well run the ball out of them. I'd expect a lot of screen game as well. Those heavy sets also get more blockers on the field.

Jeudy says he’s in play for Sunday, hopefully. He’s not ruled out for sure

I’m so nervous. Crosby and jacobs love playing the broncos… I’m hoping at the least for a competent competitive game… and would like for a win at home to open the season..

News and note: Broncos gonna win this game.

Sneaks has spoken! So it shall be!

With the recent history of the Broncos since Super Bowl 50, I can understand the apprehension and doubt about the upcoming season. I’ve got to believe that Sean Payton is debatably the second best coach in franchise history behind Shanahan (the debatable part being Reeves). That’s absolutely huge for this franchise. The coaches we’ve had since SB 50 have been pretty much the worst in the league at game-planning, game management, team preparation, and game day execution. Payton doesn’t struggle with the simple, straight-forward things like those others did.

I’m looking forward to seeing a new look from this team. A Killer instinct. Not coming out flat every game and having to “wake up” after getting down several scores. I’m anticipating better game day execution and red zone efficiency. Those things alone combined with our personnel and a little help from the injury bug staying away for awhile, and we’re a playoff team.
