Originally published Oct. 6, 2009 Second verse, same as the first. That would be how the outside world views the Denver Broncos after yet another win, propelling them to 4-0 on the season, a season in which not many people expected the Broncos to win more than five games. The Broncos are 80 percent of the way there, with 12 games yet to be played. But at the rate head coach ...

Originally published Sept. 28, 2009 If the 2009 Denver Broncos were fast food, I would call them a "Happy Meal" thus far into the campaign. Pleasant. Satisfying. Fun. Making their fans, you know, happy. Oh, and yes, I did mean those Denver Broncos. Six months ago the Broncos were a franchise in turmoil. The team had fired its stalwart head coach, Mike Shanahan, who led to the franchise to its ...

Originally published September 2, 2009 Do you smell it? That scent of uncontainable hope that springs eternal amongst all 32 NFL teams as the preseason draws to a close? Yet, within about four weeks, a fair amount of those teams will have those hopes of glory dashed as first quarter of the regular season draws to a close. Will the Denver Broncos be one of them? If you took a poll of ...

Originally published Sep. 1, 2009 If the late John Denver were still alive to write a song about the 2009 Denver Broncos season thus far, it would have to be called ôRocky Mountain Low.ö After one of the wackiest offseasons any franchise in NFL history has had to deal with, it would appear to all observers the Broncos are reeling. In the past year, the team fired the head coach that led ...

16 games. The season is a marathon, not a sprint. Coaches preach these two phrases to their players privately and publicly every week of the NFL season.á They expect their players to maintain a high level of energy all season and not exhaust themselves during a stretch of five or six games. Apparently, the Denver Broncos never got the memo. After an absolutely scintillating start to the season, a season in which the ...

We knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time. Like when the main theme from Jaws starts playing, you could feel the attack and disaster coming.áá The Denver Broncos were never going to run the table and finish the regular season a perfect 16-0. It's only happened twice in the past 37 years, so you knew it was a long shot to happen. The Broncos were eventually going ...

What a season it has been so far for Broncos fans. In a season in which the team was expected to struggle, the team has surged out to a surprising 6-0 start and a three game lead over the Chargers in the AFC West. There have been many great memories so far this year. Here are the top five to date: Begin Slideshow

Crazy, off your rocker, cracked, and insane. Those are the words I would use if you had told me in August that the Broncos would be 6-0 going into their bye and talk of a Super Bowl run, let alone a playoff berth, would be discussed with a straight face. But here we are. Most fans almost always hold out hope at the start of every season that this could be "the year" ...

The last time the Denver Broncos visited Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, they were on the receiving end of a 52-21 beatdown by the Chargers that cost them the division title and coach Mike Shanahan his job.á It was a defeat that would haunt the Broncos into the 2009 campaign. Not anymore. Fittingly, the specter of the Broncos' epic 2008 collapse disappeared permanently on October 19, a little less than two weeks ...

Let's turn the clock back a little less than fifty days to August 29. Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall had just been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, adding more salt to a still fresh wound for the Broncos.á The team a few months earlier had traded their disgruntled franchise quarterback to the Chicago Bears and now were dealing with their number one receiver demanding a trip out of ...
