Bronco Madness Will Have A Hiatus…

While I will miss it, for a little while Bronco Madness will be facing a short hiatus that could be a month or two. (Hopefully less.) I really hate to do this smack dab in the middle of the season but sadly I am facing some personal problems and a whole load of other things that I need to put my full attention on. The sad thing is Bronco Madness would have been on track this month for one of our biggest statistical months in recent history. At the latest we will be back by the Off-Season. But bare with me Bronco Maniacs, we will be back. 

My Sincerest Apologies,

Garrett Barnes

Nice Little Birthday Present…

On a lighter note, it was my birthday yesterday and after a long times wait I have finally gotten the once piece of memorabilia I have always dreamed of having. As a gift from my family they got me a signed Shannon Sharpe jersey.

I am very excited and of course will give you a picture of it at the end. Shannon Sharpe is my all time favorite Bronco and it is awesome. I have gotten it in a museum style framing with Broncos colors on the edge. The jersey is sewn to the back to keep it stable and the matting is made from the exact same material as the numbers.

With a lot of talk about the 2009 NFL HOF inductees going around, I decided to make my very own Denver Broncos Hall Of Fame. So tell me what you think, and tell me if I missed anybody that you think should be in it. Anyway here we go! (Note, this is just players…)

Denver Broncos HOF RB: Floyd Little, the first Bronco great Denver Bronco! He was with the Broncos 1967-1975. In those years he complied 6,323 yards, 43 TD’s and added 9 TD catches. He was our first great, and also belongs in the NFL HOF. No other Bronco will were his #44 jersey, it was the first to be retired.

The State of the Broncos: Week 10

I wanted to try something new this week and see what Garrett and any readers think of it. As a way of piggy-backing on Garrett’s Prognosis Article, I will take an in depth look at the Broncos on a weekly basis, position-by-position. I watch the game a little more analytically than the average fan and find that I can often pick up on subtle things that others may miss. That talent is often lost when doing a simple play by play of the game, but I hope comes across well in this format.

Special Teams
Matt Prater stated some concern previous to the game about the playing field. I think that got into his head on the first field-goal attempt. Of course, I just signed him to my fantasy team this week, which could have led to the miss also. Sorry Bronco Fans. Another note on special teams, though it is actually far more the fault of our defense, is that we are reverting back to the past couple of seasons when it comes to field position. Does anybody watch any team that starts more drives inside their ten yard line than us? The coverage team did a nice job on containing Joshua Cribbs, aside from one nice return.

C. Bailey Could Be Back Next Week

Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network it turns out that Champ Bailey may be back sooner than we thought. He could be playing next week against the Falcons which would be a big relief.

He was expected to miss up to four games with a groin injury suffered last month during a Monday night loss to the Patriots.  If he plays in nine days, he will have missed only two games.

Game Review & Prognosis

Posted November 6, 2008 by Garrett Barnes

Brady Quinn was great. Jay Cutler was better. This game finished perfectly and marks the beginning of a Broncos comeback. With the dominant play of the passing game and a decent effort by the running game I am proud to call myself a Bronco Maniac. So of course here is your game review and prognosis:

Jay Cutler couldn’t have chosen a better time to prove himself to Broncos fans yet again. With a second half comeback to beat the Browns, Jay Cutler had a great game. He had the second most passing yards of any QB this year. He had a whopping 447 yards with 3 Touchdowns but one interception. I don’t care about the Interception though because he still had a great game.

Yes, We Can (I Hope)

Jeff Winters instead of a review of the game this week is going to present us with a good article on the Broncos and how there is still hope for us even when it seems like we have very little hope.

I was prepared to write a scathing review of the Broncos tonight. Something I’ve never done, but is certainly deserved. But, then I watched Barack Obama win the Presidency and I watched his speech. Say what you want about President-Elect Obama’s politics, he’s a very inspirational speaker and he has inspired me to believe. The Broncos will show some pride and develop a run defense. Yes, We Can.

Could Things Get Worse?

Every day I fear the next thing I post because I know that it will in most cases not be good. It is for good reason too as we have more bad injury news. Is anyone really surprised?

D.J Williams is out for the next four weeks with a third degree MCL injury. He is a key part to the defense and will be sorely missed.

Game Review & Prognosis

Well it is over and I can not believe we lost the game. I really thought we had it in us to win that game. But I guess some things are not meant to happen and I do have a few bones to pick which I will of course go into later in the review.

I have to say that I am disappointed with the production of Jay Cutler so far. Cutler has completely fallen down on the job. While I don’t want to say it, maybe Jay Cutler is not the answer after all. I still have hope and trust with him but if he does not show me anything else than I will become a bit less lenient than I have been. He finished the game 307 yards, 2 Touchdowns, and 3 Interceptions.

I can’t take much more of this. The season is over and we may be in way over our heads at this point to end with a winning record. I hate to be a total kill joy but this is just bad. Hall and Pittman are on the Injury Report and here is the press release:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Monday placed running backs Andre Hall (left hand) and Michael Pittman (neck) on their reserve/injured list, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced. Both players were injured during Denver’s game against Miami on Sunday.

Porter Proves That He Has The Biggest Mouth In The NFL

I can’t stand the Dolphins right now. Their fans have been obnoxious, the refs had one of the worst calls I have seen in ages and Joey Porter is one of the most despicable human being on this planet right now.

According to Associated Press Joey Porter said a few things later after the game about Brandon Marshall. Take a gander my Bronco Maniacs:

Just Something Interesting…

I am not sure why I am pointing this out but I noticed something interesting listening to Mike Shanahan at his press conference this week. It really doesn’t matter but I thought you might want to see it.

It looks as if (and this is random) that Mike Shanahan died his hair. Maybe I am wrong but look at these before/after pictures.
