You may be on to something!

Just look at what your trolling on the orangemane has done to the Chiefs for almost a decade!

ORTON BOUNCES BACK!

Kyle Orton didn't hear a boo in his second preseason game.

Alright, so he was playing on the road. But even the Broncos faithful had to be encouraged with what they saw on television.

Orton threw for 177 yards in the first half against Seattle, leading the Broncos to ten points in their first two possessions. Only a drop in the end zone by Jabar Gaffney kept Orton from having a nearly perfect night.

After the Jabar gaffe, the Broncos went for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the one. With pressure coming from his right side, Orton made a Jake Plummer-like left-handed throw that was picked off in the end zone. The blooper-reel-worthy play marred an otherwise impressive effort, which included many plays straight out of the 2008 Patriots playbook.

"I've got a lot of confidence right now," Orton told the Denver Post. "This is the best offense I've ever played with. I've got a lot of talent around me."

Perhaps Orton's most talented teammate, Brandon Marshall, was left behind in Denver. Coach Josh McDaniels commented vaguely about it after the game.

"Every player who was ready and able to play in this game was here, and all the guys we didn't think were ready and able stayed back home," McDaniels said.

After the game, there was some question regarding the availability of Orton's backup Chris Simmsm who left the game with an ankle injury, and who was seen on crutches after the game.

So, whether Broncos fans like it or not, Orton is going to be their man.

And they should save their boos for another quarterback; Jay Cutler and the Bears visit Denver next Sunday night on NBC.

SEATTLE — Bring it on, Jay Cutler. Come back to town next week with that big arm and nonchalant attitude.

The Broncos will have a quarterback of their own waiting to match right-handed pass for right-handed pass.

Kyle Orton may not be able to match Cutler mph per mph. And his desperation left-handed throws may only conjure up images of Jake Plummer, not Cutler.

But Orton is not one to blink. Knock him, boo him, bruise him, curse him. Just don't expect Orton, the man who replaced Cutler as the Broncos' quarterback this season, to crumble under heavy criticism.

Coming within a dropped pass by Jabar Gaffney of delivering a near-flawless performance, Orton settled for an encouraging effort in the Broncos' 27-13 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.

Orton was examined harshly following an inauspicious Broncos debut last week when he threw three interceptions in his first three possessions during a loss at San Francisco. He fired back with sweet redemption in preseason game No. 2.

Down 7-0 before stepping on the field in Qwest Stadium, arguably the loudest venue in the NFL, Orton completed 6-of-8 passes while leading the Broncos on a 78-yard scoring drive that culminated with a 3-yard touch pass to Brandon Stokley in the end zone.

"I've got a lot of confidence right now," Orton said after the game. "This is the best offense I've ever played with. I've got a lot of talent around me."

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels not only didn't waver in his faith in Orton following the San Francisco debacle last week, he didn't let backup quarterback Chris Simms take any first-team reps during the final week of training camp.

Orton rewarded his coach's trust. He followed his touchdown drive by going 3-for-3 in his second drive to move within field-goal range for kicker Matt Prater.

Orton finished the first quarter with a 131.8 passer rating by completing 9-of-11 for 92 yards and the touchdown.

"He played fairly well. There is still some room for improvement," McDaniels said. "He did what we think he's capable of doing, which is throwing the ball accurately and moving the offense."

His strong performance should ease tension as the Broncos get ready to play their preseason home opener next Sunday night in a nationally televised game against Cutler and the Chicago Bears.

Cutler passed for more than 4,500 yards for the Broncos last season and earned his first Pro Bowl berth, but a late-season collapse cost coach Mike Shanahan his job after 14 seasons. An offseason rift with McDaniels, Shanahan's replacement, preceded a trade that sent Cutler to the Bears in exchange for Orton and draft picks.

Orton arrived in Denver with a reputation as a game manager, a quarterback who wasn't flashy but had a knack for playing just well enough to win. While Cutler had a 17-20 record with the Broncos, Orton was 21-12 as a starter with the Bears.

Not that Broncoland was sold on Orton's abilities last week in San Francisco. Although Orton moved the ball against the 49ers, one turnover led to another.

With all eyes nervously upon him Saturday, Orton responded. Besides his two scoring drives in the first quarter, Orton directed the Broncos on another long march to the Seahawks' 1-yard line in the second.

But a pass went through Gaffney's outstretched hands in the back of the end zone, and with the Broncos going for it on a fourth down, Orton was forced to make a what-do-I-have-to-lose gamble.

Under a heavy rush, Orton flipped the ball left-handed into the end zone. The ball wobbled into the hands of Seattle defensive back Ken Lucas for an interception. It's the kind of maneuver Orton may want to reconsider during the regular season.

McDaniels also addressed his decision to not bring star receiver Brandon Marshall on the trip.

"Every player who was ready and able to play in this game was here, and all the guys we didn't think were ready and able stayed back home," he said.

Asked if that meant physically able or mentally able, McDaniels said "both."

Key moment

Thin line to tread

Had Jabar Gaffney snagged Kyle Orton's pass in the end zone, everyone would be talking about Orton's stellar performance. Instead, the most talked-about moment will be the QB's left-handed red-zone interception two plays later.


Key stat

-6

After Tony Scheffler's and Kenny McKinley's fumbles in the third quarter, the Broncos now have six turnovers (four interceptions and two fumbles) in the preseason without creating one. The Broncos' defense caused only 13 turnovers in the 2008 regular season.
Did you notice?

Prater in a good place

Matt Prater should be feeling plenty secure about his job. First, he was given the chance to rest during training camp to stay fresh, then he hit a 53-yard field goal in the first quarter Saturday night.

@ the 63 minute mark. Michael Lombardi says "Denver is going to be REALLY good" and "Denver will be playing a meaningful game for the division against the Chargers late in the season"



Lombardi breaks down film on every preseason game and he said that Denver was the team that jumps out on him more than any other team.

Best offseason EVER!!!!!:)

He did mention KC. Those reviews weren't to nice though.:(

I saw where Chris Simms hurt his vagina and is expected to miss the next four weeks.

This is bad news for Donkey lovers because.......



























ORTON SUCKS !!!!!!

BWAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!

Reviews? Are you saying the Chiefs are not going to win an Oscar this year?

That was a joke. Not one thing he said in that interview (in regards to Denver) had anything to do with the preseason footage. Not one.

It was all the same conjecture others have said. No examples from the preseason, no in depth analysis of the game footage. Just another fluff piece.

For instance, the comment on McDaniels. McDaniels has shown nothing to this point in the preseason to warrant such praise. It's the same fluff comment others have made about McDaniels in the offseason. There are reasons to think McDaniels may (eventually) be a good head coach, but he's having a very rough preseason. There have been several clock management and situational coaching moments that McDaniels has failed on, and if he's gonna truly be a good head coach, he'll be critical of himself and not try to suck himself off the way KnoBrain does constantly.

BRONCOS OFFSEASON OF FAIL CONTINUES

No go for Knowshon in Week One?
Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2009 6:53 PM ET

When the Broncos face the Bengals to start the season, they might be without the services of the twelfth overall pick in the 2009 draft.

According to Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, tailback Knowshon Moreno is not expected to be back to 100 percent by the time Week One rolls around.

Even if Moreno's sprained MCL has healed by September 13, Moreno's conditioning likely will keep him on the shelf.

With LaMont Jordan also missing time due to injury, the current starter is veteran Correll Buckhalter, who arrived via free agency after eight years in Philly.

Peyton Hillis also could shift over from fullback, and Darius Walker could get reps, too.

Oh well. At least they still have Jay Cutler Kyle Orton at quarterback.

stay down bitch!

Please god don't injure Dwayne Bowe, well shit who am I kidding we all know if anyone it will be Cassel crippled because of this hex.

Moreno Back In Action
After missing time with an injury, Knowshon Moreno was back on the practice field Tuesday at Dove Valley. Sporting an orange jersey designated for players recovering from injury, Moreno worked with the rest of the running backs in full drills at the onset of the session.

Among those backs was also LaMont Jordan, who returned from injury wearing his regular white No. 32 jersey. More to come at DenverBroncos.com following this afternoon’s practice.

Wow, drills.

OMG

WHEW BABY; STEP BACK!!! LMAO

Life; it's all about appreciating this little things.LMAO

Moreno could play for Broncos Thursday night


Broncos rookie running back Knowshon Moreno, the club's top draft pick, might play in Thursday's final preseason game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals.

"He would be capable of playing, but I'm not exactly sure if that's the smartest decision," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said after the team's walk-through practice today.

Moreno suffered a knee injury in Denver's preseason opener at San Francisco, but returned to practice on Tuesday.

"We're going to talk about that, taking all the information into account and making sure we do the smart thing by the player and make sure we're ready for next week," McDaniels said.

I am sure he would break off 300 yds but the donkeys are going to wait and "TURN HIM LOOSE" in the regular season right?

Brandon Marshall is talking to Rod Smith again! Rod will get his head on straight. :) :)

Rrrrrrrright...

B-Marsh will be starring in Blackjack commercials in a matter of no time.

Fixed it.

How to beat a bitch and not leave marks.

I'm a bolt fan but I would never show the disrespect that this ass clown shows ON ANOTHER TEAMS message board.

Denver will not play a meaningful game against SD this year (or anytime soon) because your team is going to suck major ass and be in the toilet by Halloween. Mcdaniel has that team in complete disarray. What do you expect the players to come out and say junior?

It's nice to know that the Broncos have been working on an extension for Brandon. Hopefully they can work things out.
http://community.kdvr.com/_Sources-S...226/96399.html

Dude if the Broncos gave him an extension now, they would set a precedent that would allow the inmates to run the asylum like nobody else. You don't like your contract? Be an ass in practice, get it on TV, and then get your extension.

That dude has character problems. Big character problems.

Denver was working on a contract extension for him way back in February or March. Then he got arrested....again... McDaniels wants this guy on his team. Why wouldn't an offensive minded coach want a top 5-10 WR?

FYP

Denver is going to sign Vonnie Holiday! This guy should have been signed a long time ago. Very good 3-4 DE. :)
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolph...r-looksee.html

ROFL

I've got an autographed Vonnie Holliday football if you wanna buy it dude. 3 Canadian dollars and a box of hohos.

Good ,the Broncos continue to add Suckage to their team, what a great coach they have.

Oh yeah.

ORTON. BWAAAHAAHAA!

I would not take that deal. The Canadian dollars might come in handy and I never part with hohos. /Sackintosh

:LOL:

:doh!:

LMAO

Good lord that's pathetic. Jackson is proving to be a beast and worth his pick. But go ahead and enjoy your poor mans version, if he's even capable of that.

Isn't Huge Douglas still unsigned? Maybe you could try him too?

It's official:

Broncos sign Vonnie Holliday
by Mike Klis on September 5, 2009


The Broncos completed a deal Saturday for veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday.

The 6-foot-5, 288-pound Holliday was a solid defensive tackle/end for the Green Bay Packers from 1998-2002 before moving on to Kansas City and the Miami Dolphins. He will be expected to play both the 5-technique defensive end and nose tackle positions in the Broncos’ 3-4 defensive alignment.

“”He’s versatile so he can play wherever the team decides to play him,” said Holliday’s agent Cary Fabrikant. “”He’s an extremely talented football player who’s been a starter for long periods of time. He’s familar with the defense.”

Holliday, 33, had worked out for the Broncos during the free-agent period in March. He recently became a priority when newly acquired DE Le Kevin Smith suffering a knee injury.

Although Holliday did not go to training camp with any team this summer, Fabrikant says his client is in top physical condition through spinning, yoga, pilates.

Sounds like McDaniels suspending Marshall made Brandon wisen up a bit. It is good to hear that Marshall's attitude has been "great" since he came back from his suspension. :)

http://gazettebroncos.freedombloggin...marshall/1289/

did you expect them to SAY anything different? they NEED him now, the suspension was B.S. in the first place. like a suspension from PREseason means ANYTHING:shake: damn man arent you smarter than that?

So, the guy who's arrest was no big deal, was charged today. They even set a court date. I'm sure it's nothing though.

http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_13288372
He is innocent until proven guilty. Nothing will come out of this.

ROFL When did YOU step off the boat, Habib?

Color me crazy, but I'll wait for longer than a week before I determine if the guy has changed his act...

Best offseason evar!!! Brandon Marshall won't be going anywhere!ROFL

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4459220

So they bowed to their bitch, eh? THAT'S gonna' command respect in the long run.

And, he may be back; but look who's throwing to him.

Don't feel bad though, I don't hate you nearly as much today as I do this new douche from Baltimore.

Denver was working on a long term contract with Marshall back in February... If he wouldn't gotten arrested again in the offseason he would already have a long term contract. Denver wants to keep BM. He is one of the 5 best WR's in the NFL.

You really think he is better than Moss, Fitzgerald, Cal Johnson, Wayne, or Andre Johnson?

So moral of the story: Run around and throw temper-tantrums to get traded if wanted or get them to cave to a new contract.

Fantastic!!! Best offseason ever!!!

.

I am not saying he is better than anyone on that list, but I think he is just as good as them. If anyone is better than Brandon it isn't by much.

I see Mcdouchebag and Bowlen have decided to kisss his ass.

It sure sets a great precedence for the rest of the NFL. Talk about your relationship power exchanges...

http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/yvwx53k3pmc/default.jpg

"Pout! Pout! Let it all out".:)

And the moment this contract is signed, it becomes official.

1. Brandon Marshall will be a Bronco for a long time.
2. The inmates now officially run the asylum.

AFC:
Playoff Teams
1. Pittsburgh, 13-3
2. San Diego, 12-4
3. New England, 12-4
4. Indianapolis, 11-5
5. Baltimore, 12-4 (wild card)
6. Denver, 10-6 (wild card)


Prediction No. VIII: As we all know (or should know), a true sleeper pick can only be a team that: (A) flagrantly sucked last season; and (B) generated little buzz heading into this one. That rules out Houston (too much buzz), Green Bay (ditto), the Jets (9-7 last season) and Bucs (9-7 last season). You have to pick someone from this group: the Bills, Browns, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, Lions, Rams, Bengals and Niners. You need the "Nobody believed in us!" factor. You need a team that nailed its April draft and is blessed by a bad division and/or an easy schedule. You need an easy September for momentum. You need a franchise with fans who lost hope and will lose their collective crap if anything good happens. And you need to feel like you want to throw up even as you're anointing the team your sleeper.

My pick? The Broncos. Nobody believes in them because they lost Shanahan (24-24 since 2006) and Cutler (17-20 career record). Was that REALLY a disaster? They hired the architect of New England's record-setting 2007 offense (McDaniels) and traded for a QB with a 21-12 career record as a starter (Kyle Orton). (I know, I'm pushing it with the facts. But those ARE facts.) They crushed the draft: two first-rounders (including running back Knowshon Moreno, who could light it up right away) and five of the top 64 picks. They play in a division with two awful teams (Kansas City and Oakland). They easily could start 4-0 (at Cincy, home for Cleveland, at Oakland, home for Dallas). And the city of Denver has lost all hope. Also, I want to throw up and you are shaking your head right now. In other words, the Broncos fit the bill. Ten and six, I say.

Sorry KnowNothing. The moment you posted that McDaniels can turn "any QB into a Pro Bowl QB" I simply had no choice but to disregard anything you say, post, think, feel, quote, misquote, reference, hint at, implicate, or contribute. I'm really surprised you don't work in the propaganda industry somewhere.

I know I said that before. I don't think McDaniels can turn any QB into a Pro Bowl QB, but any QB that HE handpicks and works with can be turned into a Pro Bowl QB.

Tom Brady's best 4 years of his career ALL happened after Josh McDaniels started coaching him. He knows QB's like Mike Shanahan knows RB's.

Shannon Sharpe is the man!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4465487

That clearly had nothing to do with the typical progression of QB's during their career or extra level he went when he finally had receivers.

Shanahan knowing RB's really well is also a bit of a dubious claim.

Fixed it.

The Denver players are motivated by all this drama. Oh... And I LOVE Brian Dawkins!!!!!!!!:clap:

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Dude, This guy is a homer to the EXTREME!

OMG!! Not even i thought he was this big of a homer.

All I can say is Wow. He can't be more than like 13 yrs old or something. Nobody is that stupid.

Theres more.

I think we have to give the kid a break... he hasn't been around long enough to truly be jaded about his pro team. Many of us have been through wars, we've seen the good, bad and the ugly.

Denver's defense is...


1st in the NFL in PPG
3rd in the NFL in YPG
4th in the NFL in Yards per play
2nd in the NFL in first downs allowed
2nd in the NFL in 3rd down defense
3rd in the NFL in sacks
5th in the NFL in INT's
5th in the NFL in fumble recoveries

:)

Talk to me after the midway point in the season. If they are #1, you have reason to gloat.

Have you played anybody yet? Didn't think so.
Posted via Mobile Device

Well, they did beat the Bengals in Cincy... and Cincy just won at Green Bay. The Bengals may not be great, but everyone likes the Packers and they put up nice points at Green Bay - Denver held them to 7 at their house.

Cleveland... yeah, they suck. But, the Browns did put up more points against the Vikings and everybody likes the Vikings to go far.

So, 2-0 has it's ugly spots and it's bright spots... and I agree, let's see how things look in a month.

LMAO When you guys made/contributed to this thread you never considered the possibility it might bite you in the ass. Through the first two weeks of the season, which is a lot more than you thought possible, KnowMo owns you Chief and Charger alike.
Who knows what tomorrow might bring but for today the kid is on top.
Kinda' funny.

Better than playing a nobody and losing to them :)

Na, the purpose was to keep his homerism confined to one place to the extent possible. It does that just fine.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...stroys-browns/
Even when we get a nice article about us there is always an insult thrown in. I love the bad press though, it really seems to fire our guys up ESPECIALLY Brian Dawkins :)
