Broncos-Patriots Preview: Keys to Victory for Denver in Week Five

dumervil and fields sweet uni

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.

Broncos 12, Bengals 7: Denver stuns Cincinnati in Opener

Broncos Bengals Football

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.

Is Brandon Marshall Losing the Respect of His Teammates?

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.

Inside the Broncos’ Roster: The Quarterbacks

As somewhat of a response to Punkus’ great article earlier, I will now give you my opinion of who will make the Denver Broncos’ final roster for 2009.

I will start by giving an overview of the Broncos’ quarterback unit, which took a serious hit in terms of pure talent when the team traded away Pro Bowl selection Jay Cutler.

Positive Feedback from Opening of Mini-Camp

The Broncos opened their first official Mini-Camp on Friday, and now two days in there has been nothing but positive feedback from the players.

Coach McDaniels decided to begin Mini-Camps earlier than most teams because he wanted to allow the players ample time to jell with each other as well as get used to their entirely new coaching staff.

According to LaMont Jordan, the process has already begun, “”I will say this — we are a tight group in that backfield…You wouldn’t know that we’re all fighting for a starting job because we’re that tight. When it’s all said in done, the bottom line is winning.”

This positive attitude was reinforced by Peyton Hillis in his own interview, “Coach McDaniels keeps telling us we’re going to use different things each week to win games…Whatever that is, whether it’s running the ball, passing, it doesn’t matter…whatever it takes to win the game. I’m just going to play where they put me and be happy.”

Jordan capped off the day with this statement, ”
If you’re a fan of this team, then be a fan of this team…When it’s all said and done, winning heals all.”

The Broncos are scheduled to practice again around 11 AM MDT on Sunday.

Final Word: Jay Cutler IS Staying

Adam Schefter’s blog had one last post regarding the Jay Cutler trade rumors and situation. The post essentially said, there’s no chance.

Josh McDaniels finally spoke publicly about the matter, after statements had been released earlier in the week from various team spokesmen.

“Let me be as clear as I can about this,” McDaniels said “We are not trading Jay Cutler — period.”

So, that’s it. No more rumors about Cleveland, Minnesota, San Francisco, the Jets, or any other team in need of a quarterback. They will need to look elsewhere.

This move should come as a relief to Broncos fans, and this whole incident may even be viewed positively six months from now.
