Strange first half. The Broncos offense hardly had the ball because of Royal's returns. Orton is playing a lot like he did against Cleveland. Throwing the ball away a little prematurely IMO.

The Denver D needs to step up a bit, but most of what has happened is because Philip Rivers is awesome.

Denver needs to run the ball methinks.

Man, bad missed holding call there. Chargers don't get 3 there if that's called.

Displaced Flames fan · 10-19-2009, 08:50 PM

Great catch by Sheffler for the TD.

Broncos hanging around....Chargers D starting to open up a bit.

Displaced Flames fan · 10-19-2009, 08:53 PM

DOOOOOOOOM! Sack #9!

Flickered Flame · 10-19-2009, 09:30 PM

I cannot believe that the Broncos are about to be 6-0. Craziness.

I finally believe they are for real. Finally.

I still had my doubts coming into this game but they are very good. They are just controlling the line while on defence, well even on offence, Orton has all day to throw.

The schedule is still tough. Playing in Baltimore will be the biggest challenge so far the way that Flacco kid is playing. At least I know, they have a chance to win.

Couldn't say that 6 weeks ago.

Time for a new avatar!

can't wait for the monday nighter aswell.......Ladies!!!!

The amazing thing about the Broncos to me is that in the NFL while most defenses tire and play worse in the 2nd half, Denver's defense totally shuts down teams in the 2nd half.

That's great fitness and preparation.

ResAlien · 10-19-2009, 10:02 PM

^I put that all on the coaching staff. Going into the second half I said to myself "They'll shut em down." It seems the Bronco plan is stay competetive in the first half, then make superior coaching adjustments for the second half and own it.

Broncos 6-0. I refer to my earlier rant, can we get some DAMN RESPECT NOW!!!!

I think alot of the defenses success is thanks to Brian Dawkins, what a great leader this guy is. Even when he was out with the leg injury he was on the sidelines cheering them on.

arloiginla · 10-19-2009, 10:20 PM

What a win!!!!

Man I love this team. They are focused, coming up clutch in the big moments, and buying in to the system. Most of all, they have the will to win and it seems this desire alone is what gets them over the hump when it matters most.

Awesome.

kevman · 10-19-2009, 11:31 PM

+1 for another pleasantly surprised Bronco's fan! I was hesitant about the Cutler/Orton trade but I'm a huge Orton fan now! The guy simply does not turn the ball over...brilliant!

As for the Chargers...man it's sweet to see them lose! Or should I say it's sweet to see River's lose?

Montana Moe · 10-19-2009, 11:33 PM

Two points that just amaze me about the Saints:

1. They have never been behind in a game this year

2. Before this week, the Saints had not allowed a point in the 4th quarter. The only 4th quarter points being on an intentional safety in garbage time against Philly.

Am I in some different dimension?

You don't get respect after one 6 game winning streak, Miami won 9 of there last 10 last year after starting 2-4. They got no respect then, they still don't get respect. You get respect by winning playoff games and ultimately the superbowl. That's just how it goes. Be proud of your team enjoy the run, and stop worrying about what others think.

You're effing kidding me. This team is for real, the second half adjustments in every game are wicked. People need to respeckognize (yeah, it's a word, ask E-40) this team. Dawkins and Nolan have this D running on high octane, and Orton is executing the offensive plan like no other. Funk the haters, the Broncos are back!

OILFAN #81 · 10-20-2009, 12:45 AM

Broncos look real good. Congrats to them. Which of the 4 undefeated teams remaining do you guys think is the best? At the risk of being biased

......I am only going to rank the other 3 teams.

Saints
Broncos
Vikings

Just my opinion....i'm not saying the Vikings suck or anything. They are a fantastic team.

New Orleans just looks like dynamite on the offensive side of the ball and there defense is shaping up as well.

Still can't believe Dawk isn't in Eagles green.
