The site has been a bit idle as of late, but I'm back now to spin you around the big stories in the NFL and off my opinion on everything. Which I know everyone wants!Let's start off with the Denver Broncos (if you didn't know that, start reading the titles).
Is there any dispute that the Broncos are for real? I just sat here and watched them drive down the field to end the game with a 41-yard field goal in overtime against the New England Patriots, a team that is supposed to be a Super Bowl contender again in 2009.
These Broncos, ya know, the same team that wouldn't win more than five or six games this season, have won five out of five for a perfect record this season. It's hard to believe it, I know, so just sit back and let it soak in.
We'll get to the 4-1 Bengals later.
Is your head ready to explode yet? I know mine already has.
Kyle Orton came in to replace Jay Cutler, which is an obvious downgrade, but the guy has done nothing but win since he first came into the league. He's never put up flashy numbers and will probably never make it to the Pro Bowl, but he wins games and there's something to be said for a guy like that.
Brandon Marshall has bought in, and yes, even though I still disagree with the handling of Cutler, I'm now a fan of Josh McDaniels. Coming out onto the field and celebrating the win with the Denver fans was great to see out of a head coach, who these days seem to act like they're above the fanbase that pays their checks.
For instance, do you think Bill Belichick would ever do that? I doubt he's ever talked to a fan, much less come out and shown that kind of emotion with his fanbase.
The offense is clicking, the guys are buying into McDaniels, and Mike Nolan has this Broncos defense playing like one of the best in the entire league.
This is a playoff team. Barring another meltdown and giving way to the Chargers, the Broncos will be in the playoffs. From here, it's just a question of keeping the momentum, and finding out just how deep into the playoffs they can go.
Oh, and McDaniels beat his mentor, Belichik. But, so did Eric Mangini.
That worked out well, huh? Let's just not overhype it, is all.
