Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Ahh people quit trying to be so unselfish. Yes we all want a Super Bowl win, but we are here to talk projected stats.
I would really like Decker to hit that 1,000 mark as well as DT catching 10 touchdowns.It would be cool to have two 1,000 yard 10+ touchdown WRs.
Anyone know of the last time the Denver Broncos have had two 1,000 yard WRs? My guess of the top of my head would be 2004.
In 2004, both Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie were over 1,000 yards. 2008 was close, Marshall was over 1,000, and Eddie Royal was only 20 yards away. 2000 was probably the biggest year for our top two receivers, Rod Smith had 1,602 yards and Ed McCaffrey had 1,317 yards, that was with Brian Griese and Gus Frerotte throwing them the ball
One of the most not talked about stat is Peyton Manning currently has 26 TD passes. He has passed the mark set by Jay Cutler in '08 (25 TD), and is currently tied for 2nd all time in Broncos history, he needs only 2 more to break the Broncos all-time record, which will likely happen next week.

It wasn't that they focused on him it was more that they ran the ball every play and when they threw the ball it was short short passes
This was probably also in part to slow down Miller. It helps the cause that Brady Quinn doesn't drive the ball down the field, so them dropping back would have been outright playing into our favor.
Yep, Plummer and Elway are both tied for the most (this week anyway, lol), Plummer threw 27 in '04, and Elway did it in '97. Plummer also threw 4,089 yards that year, currently 2nd all-time, but also threw 20 INT (the downside of having Plummer throw that much).
In 2004, Manning had THREE receivers hit the vaunted 1,000 yard, 10 TD mark, the only time it's ever been done, I think. They were Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and a somewhat obscure slot receiver named.......... Brandon Stokely!!
