So which AFC West team has improved the most and which team has been hit hardest by free agency.

Strength of schedule according to ESPN

KC, Denver and SD all are tied at #3 with the opponents having a 520 win percentage and Oakland at #19 with the opponents at .492.  

KC

• Matt Cassel has another year under his belt
• Eric Berry is a stud
• O line is older
• Lost Charlie Wies

Oakland

• Asomugha leaving hurts
• McFadden finally looks like the real deal
• Jason Campbell does not excite me
• Signing Jarvis Moss LOL..........

San Diego

• Having Jackson all year surely helps
• As much as I hate Rivers he is a top 5 QB
• Sproles departure is good new for Denver

If we can trade Stokely and or Lloyd that would be great.    I don't  know enough about the olsen twins on who makes it or not.   

Some positions are a little short.  Let me know your thoughts if different and why

Bought a new 50 in  plasma  at the begining of 2010 after my 65 inch rear projection Hitachi died after 15 years of loyal service (RIP).  I had to replace my regular receiver with an HD and Directv forced me to sign on for another two years.  Stupid me gets mad and I canceled my NFL ticket (that will teach them).  I think I was still upset with the Broncos meltdown..........  Most of the games were not in HD which looked like @#$* on my 42 inch Panny.  

To make a long story short it looks like they have changed the package to all games in HD and are including the Red Zone.    So now I am leaning toward getting the NFL Sunday Ticket again.   My question is do they offer any discounts as the $299 is pretty steep in todays economy.  I read a few forums that say they will, just need to get the right customer service rep.....  I call and they said no deals at this time.    So I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with finding a lower price from a customer service rep.

Also I am thinking of getting a projector to watch the games on.  Anyone have the new Epson 8100.  Seems to be getting good reviews at BB and nice financing as well.    

Yes Super Size me please!  

thanks

You would think they would validate the numbers so they at least add up

While I don't fancy myself as an expert by any means.......

From a Defensive perspective.

Who we will miss:

Andra Davis and his run stopping skills (not sure why he was released) and Vonnie Holliday for his pass rush

Who needs to improve:

Doom and his play recognition (run stopping)

Ayers and his pass rush

DJ and his pass coverage down the middle 

Andre Goodman run coverage

Alphonso Smith pass coverage (hopefully it was a rookie thing)

I have no clue what to expect from Haggan.

DL  time for Baker and Thomas to step up.

Offensive

I am fine with Marshall and Schef being pushed out the door.  

To me Daniel Graham needs to step it up.  Enough with the holding penalties

WR is going to be interesting to see who starts.  Not a big fan of Gaffney,  Hopefully he proves me wrong,  Also let hope Royal comes back to his rookie numbers.  He also needs to return punts. 

Thank God Lamont Jordan is gone.  Not sure what they ever saw in him..........  He must of had pictures on somebody at Dove Valley.

Our O-line scares me.  The only person I have confidence in is Kuper due to all the injuries and lack of experiance

We will be fine without Wiegmann

Moreno & Buckhalter will have a good year if we get the run blocking needed.

I can't wait for training camp to start.   Go Broncos

Ok,  I feel much better now that the draft is over.   Sorry for the negative comments.  Please forgive me.

I live in tampa and heard on the radio today that the broncos are trying to get the Bucs 3rd overall pick.  The offer is our 1st round pick and Marshall.   I think both teams win in that scenario.  Marshall is from FL. and they need a wideout bad!  Are you guys hearing anything from Denver?  This would surely size up our front line.  McCoy or Suh?  Not sure which is a better fit for our 3/4

I have been taking a vacation from MileHighReport, but I heard a good interview you might be interested in.

Here is a link to an interview with B Dawk down in Orlando.   Marc Benarzyk is a great radio host on 1040espn in Tampa.   Once you are on the web page just scroll down and you will see the link.

Hope you enjoy and here is to 2010.   May it be a lot better than 2009.

I could care a less about the Marshall record today.  The more people that are involved in catching the ball the better the offense will be.   Not sure why our Young Jedi is allowing Orton to do this.   

Ouch does our O-line suck.     Need to spend some draft picks on replacing the slugs...   Even Clady has looked lazy lately.    Somebody needs to light a fire under them.   

We sure did miss Larsen's blocking today.     Great use of Hillis today as well.   Why not give him a chance. 

The best way to slow down an agressive pass rush?  Maybe a screen pass to a RB or TE.

Jedi gets an D- for play calling today. 

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up on how Tim Crowder is doing.   He had 5 total tackles in the game against Carolina.    He looks a lot better than Gaines Adams and I just don't understand why  the bears would trade a second round pick for Adams...   Tough times in Tampa,  sure hope they get a high profile couch next year and a new GM.     

Go Broncos!     they need to wear those uniforms until they lose a game

Below is my post right after the draft.   Kind of funny to look back at some of the comments.   Are you brave enough to find your post from April's Draft and grade it now..

Looks like they just updated the Broncos Depth Chart again. 

   It will be interesting to see if Moss makes it.  What a game yesterday.  Thank goodness for the turnovers,  I was begining to wonder if we were cursed or not.     I can't believe I have to do 75 words for this to post.    Only women write that much.... Just kidding Only up to 61 words.   Can't wait for Beatles Rock Band 9/9/09

The preseason is over and I have to admit I am impressed with what I have seen.    I am not saying it will be a great year, but we are moving in the right direction.   Nice Job by Josh and the coaches pulling this all off.   Here are a couple of thoughts after looking at the preseason stats

Offense

•  Turnovers Ranked #29 with -5.   Thank goodness for that last game.  It could have been worse.  At least the defense will be allowed to be aggressive in this area
• Time of Possesion Ranked #3 at 32.40.  This is a nice surprise for me and this will help our defense improve greatly as they are not on the field all the time.
• Offense penalty Yard Ranked #29 @ 164 yards.  Nice job except that bears game was brutal.  We could have been ranked 32!   This shows Josh's detail this year in training camp.  Thank You
• 3rd down percentage ranked 24th at 36%.   No worries yet.   We were evaluating talent not padding stats.
• Points per game Ranked 24th with 16.2.   We must improve this number over laster year in order to have any success this year
• Yards per game Ranked 19th @ 308.   

Defense

• Points per Game Ranked 13th @ 17.8.    Great to see this with all the change!
• Yards per Game Ranked  7th.   Way to go D!
• 3rd down percentage Ranked 5th @ 35%.  My slogan for 2009 is "3 and Out Baby!"

Let the fun begin

Scoring & Settings

Ok,  I know we have some serious talent when it comes to writng psts.   I was hoping we could come to some sort of standard with Text Slang.    Feel Free to add your creative terms.   

Sample

I know I am not suppose to hate, but……

Type          Meaning

IHAD  =   I hate Al Davis

TRS     =  The Raiders suck

PRSD  = Philip Rivers sucks Dic*

IHCBAL = I hope Cutler breaks a leg

Just kidding.......

Here are the real ones

HROTD = Hillis ran over that defender

NC        = Nice Catch

GR      = Good Run

WTFTRNG = What the Fuc*, That Ref needs glasses

TWH  = That was holding

CTO   = Call Time Out

OJWD  = Orton Just went Deep

RIAS  = Royal is a stud!

I think it might be time for us to start looking at new uniforms.   That seemed to get us over the Super Bowl hump last time.   What ever design we use it should be intimidating to the oposition and give us a true advantage.  Here are my design thoughts

The uniform should make Eddie Royal look 6'3.

slippery enough to enable Ryan Clady to not allow one sack.   Whoops we already have that with 1/2 a sack

The new uniforms should make 30 second commercials seem like 15.    HDR's are the best! 

Allow Hillis to run a 4.2 40 yard dash in wet conditions .  

Enable us to be on national television every week.  This would save me my NFL ticket money

The uniforms will need to create enough buzz that I won't  have to listen to those two idiots on the NFL Network talk at half-time. 

They need to change colors as the game wears on.   Broncos Orange Crush if we are doing well.   Pink if we are loosing to the faiders or chiefs.

Let me know what you want to see in the new uniforms

Well he did not take long to get comfortable.    We miss you JC!

We're keeping an eye on Jay Cutler during his first Bears training camp.

Ho-hum day: Nothing too spectacular from Cutler on Day 3. He completed his first 12 passes during 7-on-7 drills. His first incompletion was an uncharacteristic drop by Matt Forte. Cutler started full-team drills 0-for-3, including a high throw that Devin Hester couldn't quite corral. Cutler completed 18 of 23, by our count.

Wild side: The crowd buzzed as Cutler split out wide left and Hester lined for the direct snap in the "Wildcat" formation. Cutler pretty much stayed out of the way as Hester did his thing.

Lovie-ism: (On the Wildcat) "Jay Cutler's an athlete too. So who knows, we may throw him a pass out there." Smith quickly recanted his statements, saying the Bears wouldn't be throwing to Cutler and that it was a "bad joke." Guess he didn't want to give the Packers advance notice.

Not sure who is the guru on merging two logo's, but it looks like the Patriot head will fit onto the Broncos horse.   We should have seen this coming.   

Also at the bottom is the new Lions logo.  Can you tell what is new.  

This is going to be a great draft,  can't wait for Saturday.   This will be my first year watching the draft and reading MHR at the same time.  I love multi-tasking

I read that the majority of the teams 1-10 are trying to trade down.   Should be a fun draft!   

Wow the only promising thing we had going is now gone.

Ok if we trade Cutler to Detroit for their 2 first round picks could we then turn around and trade the number 1 pick to Philly for their 2 first round picks?

we would have the following picks in the first round. 

Who would you draft in these positions

#12 pick

#20 pick

#21 pick

#28 pick

I blame all this on that posessed horse sculpture at the airport!
