How quickly Denver Broncos fans have forgotten about Jay Cutler and Mike Shanahan.
Winning heals a lot, apparently.

Prior to yesterday, the Denver Broncos had gone 5-0 four times in team history, and all four times they made it to the Super Bowl. With their 20-17 overtime win against the New England Patriots, fans have reason to hope this team can accomplish what was thought to be impossible.
The fifth win for the Broncos may have been the most unlikely of them all.
Tom Brady had started 75 games in which the Patriots led after three quarters, and lost only one.
Brady had never lost an overtime game.
The Patriots had only lost one game in which Brady, Wes Welker, and Randy Moss play.
Still, on the coldest week five game in NFL history, the Denver Broncos proved doubters and haters wrong once again, and for once it was the New England Patriots getting a taste of their own medicine.

The Denver Broncos (4-0, First Place AFC West) are set to play host to the Boston Patriots (3-1, Second Place AFC East) in an old-school style AFL matchup. The Broncos will be wearing an odd shade of yellow and brown while the Patriots will be wearing their old uniforms as well.
Denver is coming off of a huge win at home last week against the Dallas Cowboys when wide receiver Brandon Marshall made probably the play of the week and gave the Broncos a 16-10 lead late in the fourth quarter. Even more impressive was the goal line stand from Denver led by cornerback Champ Bailey who knocked away passes on third and fourth down to seal the victory for the Broncos.

The Denver Broncos are 1-0.
How sweet does that sound Broncos fans?
After the longest verbal beating I can remember, the Denver Broncos proved their skeptics wrong on Sunday, and they did it with an unexpected strength: their defense.
In fact, the Broncos’ defense was so on point that the home team Bengals only reached the red zone twice in the entire game, and did not score a point for 59 minutes, 19 seconds.

The Denver Broncos have waived former second-round-pick, Chad Jackson.
Chad was expected to make the team behind Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley, and Jabar Gaffney.
He appeared in 12 games as a rookie with the New England Patriots. During the postseason, Jackson tore his acl which caused him to miss a big chunk of time.
In 2008, Jackson caught only one pass for 19 yards.
He was known more for his efforts that he made on special teams.

In the wake of his recent practice field hissy fit, Denver Broncos wide receiver may have gone far beyond anything any fan ever thought possible.
In addition to losing respect from virtually every respectable NFL fan, coach, or executive, he may have lost the respect of his role models and elders on the team.

Sources out of Philadelphia report that former Falcons quarterback Micheal Vick has signed a one-year contract with the Eagles with a team option for a second year.
This move is an interesting one, since the Eagles already have a proven starting quarterback in Donovan McNabb.
Perhaps the Eagles are looking to use Vick as a situational player to step in and make a big play, or in their utilization of the “wildcat” formation.
Vick is expected to play in the final two preseason games.

NFL.com writer Steve Wyche caught up with former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan last week, and Shanahan made public his intentions to return to the NFL as early as the 2010 season.
Most notably, Mike said “I probably spent more time studying football the last offseason than I have the last 10 years. I watch a lot of film and do the same thing I do during the season. I’ll see if there are any opportunities out there at the end of the year that will work out for the club and myself.”

As the Broncos transition to the 3-4 defensive scheme, one of the major differences is going to be the switch for some players from defensive end to a hybrid defensive end/rush linebacker.
One of the great debates of this offseason was who the Broncos would recruit to play such positions, and which players already on the roster would make the switch.
When dissecting Denver’s previous group of defensive ends, it seemed that many, if not all of them, were qualified and perhaps better fit to play as rush linebackers in a 3-4 scheme.
The only problem is, these players will not only have to develop their craft as pass rushers standing up; they will have to learn how to excel in pass coverage.
For what the Broncos may lack in some other areas on defense, they definitely do not have a shortage of high-profile players who will transition to rush linebackers.
Among this group are the players who have led the Broncos in sacks over the last three seasons, two top-20 draft picks, a second-round pick, and a YouTube legend.
