Denver Broncos Calendar 2009

DjBroncos — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 11:44:58 -0000

Yesterday I received my calendar for the year 2009. Looking which players are featured, I was shocked at first sight when seeing that Travis Henry is the guy in January!

When do they print the calendar? Before the draft!? And another point: Why don't they wait and use pictures of our players during the first, let's say, 8 weeks of the current season?

Well, I for sure don't like seeing Henry the entire playoff-month! At least the other 11 players deserve being in...

I will NOT watch the Pro Bowl!!!

That is just disgusting! Clady is not in! This is a farce (do you know the word "farce" as we do?)!!!

Anyway, we all knew it was going to happen... At least Jay is the 3rd string QB and B-Marsh is a starter...

I hate the MSM, I hate the MSM, I hate the MSM, I hate the MSM, I hate the MSM, I hate the MSM, I just really hate them all - ALL!!!

Prater Named AFC Special Teams P.O.W.

DjBroncos — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:38:00 -0000

From the DenverBroncos.com blog:

The NFL announced on Tuesday that Matt Prater will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 5.

Prater’s selection as AFC Special Teams Player of the Week marks the first such award of his two-year NFL career.

During the Broncos’ 16-13 win against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Prater made all three field goal attempts — a 55-yarder, a 40-yarder and a 27-yarder — and his lone extra point try, racking up 10 points for the team. He also recorded touchbacks on four-of-five kickoffs. His 55-yarder in the second quarter was the longest field goal in the NFL for Week 5 and tied for the fifth-longest field goal in Broncos history.

Prater’s four touchbacks also led the NFL for the week, and he averaged 69.4 yards on his five kickoffs. He is tied for the NFL lead with 11 touchbacks on kickoffs this season.

Prater is the first Bronco to be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week since punt returner Glenn Martinez earned that award in Week 11 of the 2007 season. His selection marks the 18th time a Broncos player has received AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors since the award was initiated by the NFL in 1993.

Isn't that honey for a special teams unit that was one of the worst in the NFL last year? Touchbacks are best kick coverage we can get - and the healthiest!

Now just the punting unit remains to being fixed - but didn't Shanny say "We're not going to punt!" during preseason!? I guess he's right! There will be only two possibilites: Denver scores a Touchdown, or they will kick a FG, even from 80 yards out...

Broncos jersey vs Griese - What to do?

DjBroncos — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 10:42:57 -0000

I've just noticed that I've got a problem...

I only got one jersey of our beloved Broncos, which I wear all gameday long since I've become a fan. In these days Griese was our Quaterback, so his name is on the back of my jersey (I was not able to choose a player, living in Germany, as most of you know).

Unfortunately we play Tampa Bay - and with it Brian Griese under Center...

Poll

What shall I do?

Just wear the jersey as you normally do!

A Griese jersey!? Can't get us the luck we need today! So just drop on a Bronco t-shirt...

Broncos Team Logo

DjBroncos — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:31:12 -0000

I've got a question mates:

Do the Denver Broncos have a copyright on their Team Logo?

If not, why so?
If yes, why is there another football-team on this world having the (mirrored) Broncos Logo? And: Then someone has to tell it to the Broncos organization, I believe...

Please help me out, nice greetings,

DjBroncos
