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.

Gameday Thread - Preseason game 1: Broncos @ Dallas
I saw that on a replay this AM on the news, wow, I know one Cowboy who will hurting this AM.....
A super bowl victory is the only thing that matters in a season. So to show improvement you have to get closer than we were last year. So the AFCC game is a good answer if we only match what we did last year it is a failure. The Giants were 9-7 and won it all so record or first round bye mean nothing unless you win it all-
#87Birdman wrote it- adding Manning, the Broncos should be held to it, and certain posters think otherwise and we know who you are.....
I'm not sure what you're implying here, but this board was split back then on who should be starting because of Simm's play in the pre-season.
Exactly, that's the point. Where is Chris Simms today? Be careful with preseason. I did not change my opinion about Orton, Tebow or Quinn, for better or worse, after 1 preseason game.
Moore and Miller were on the field like 2 drives, you'll never get any info on your starters after the first game.
Carter looked good I thought, did a good job picking through blockers to stop the bleeding on some plays.
Yeah I would have to agree with Hoser here. Moore and Miller didn't see much of. Miller was around the ball when I did see him though, and I really disliked the announcers as they talked up their rookie RT and pretty much said he stonewalled Miller, when Miller came flying around the edge and doing his any gravity run on air thing and slipped .
Carter I saw a little more often usually coming up in the box to blitz. I think he should work on disguising it better since he was already on the line when they snapped it. He did come back and help take away cut back lanes when he was in. Also he over pursed on the big catch and run the cowboys had where he got blocked out by the TE.
But yeah first game after 2 weeks wasn't to bad, they will go through growing pains this year though.

Well, that's essentially what I'm saying. :thumb:

Thank you to my grandfather jetrazor for being a veteran of the armed forces!
I dont know, in one of the first series Tebow was in Lance Ball(I think it was #35) just flat out ran over some guy that was running heads up to get his crack on and got cracked himself. When Ball hit him you almost have to slow it down to see what the victim went through. If you watch it in normal speed you just see the Dallas Defender disappear. It was near the sideline and I think Ball picked up a first on the play.
I watched that hit about 4 times before I went back to the game.
Yeah the Willis block and the Lance Ball screen were the hits of the night. For those that didn't see the lance ball truck in the highlights when NFL network replays the game tonight watch for it.
I believe it is during Tebows 2nd drive. It looks like the safety hits a brick wall.
We may disagree on Tebow/KO on these boards, but when it comes to Nate Jones we come together like Voltron with the "hate", lol!! I just can't understand why he is still here???? He must be making peanuts.
I was about to post the same thing, well kind of, just that the failing of N Jones actually unites this board!
Simms never threw for 7 TD's and 0 INT's in just a 3 game span. Quinn has.
I've always been curious what Quinn could do in the NFL if actually given a shot for a season or more than 5 games straight like other young QB's have been given around the NFL. He's always got the shaft or short leash it seemed in Clev. with such a horrid team.
