By Zappa Though the Broncos would lose to the Raiders later in the season, it was no longer an easy road for Oakland to run rough shot over Denver.  It was from then on to be a hard fought, bloody battle to the end.  That is exactly how the 1977 AFC Championship game would play out.  The Raiders were coming o...

By TheSportsGuru For the second consecutive week, Broncos K Jason Elam kicks a game-winning field goal with his 23-yarder in overtime giving Denver the victory... Elam finishes the game with three field goals, including a 20-yarder with 2:18 left in the game to tie the score at 20... Denver has an individual 100...

By hoosierteacher The question for Denver is, can the youth movement learn quickly enough to put together a strong second half of the season?  After what is expected to be a tricky game in NE, Denver gets a much needed bye. Poll Denver Makes the playoffs and advances Makes the playoffs; doesn't advance Makes t...

By TheSportsGuru On WR Eddie Royals' play at Oakland -- On San Diego losing LB Shawne Merriman -- On San Diego QB Philip Rivers' actions on the sideline in Denver's game at San Diego last year -- On Broncos RB Andre Hall -- On QB Jay Cutler being hit on a scramble against the Raiders --

By TheSportsGuru Subtract the first kickoff return by the Raiders, and the Broncos special teams add a nice evening.  Matt Prater was 2/2 in FG opportunites and while his kicks didn't fly out of the stadium, he was able to keep Raiders' returners from breaking loose after his initial kick.  For the game, the R...

By TheSportsGuru Final - 9.8.2008 1234Total Denver Broncos 710101441 Oakland Raiders 0001414 Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan improves to 12-4 in season openers in his career, second-best all-time among coaches who began their careers in the Super Bowl era (min. 14 games). BRONCOS GAME NOTES

By TheSportsGuru This pick may surprise some of you. The Broncos have always had a solid running game and the Raiders have simply been awful for half a decade. A look at the numbers, however, show the Raiders are the better running team, and the addition of Darren McFadden could make them even stronger. The Raid...

The 53 passing yards allowed by the Broncos marked the second-lowest total allowed by Denver in the Mike Shanahan era (1995-...

By styg50 In fact, the slide didn't stop until Shanahan dug into his bag of tricks and whipped out something that could only work against the raiders.  I get a real kick out of imagining Al Davis watching the game and thinking that he finally got one on the Mastermind, had finally evened out some sort of...

By GarretBarnes Reason #9, Steelers: We did not have our QB and team leader win a Super Bowl then nearly kill himself on motorcycle.  Reason #1, Giants: We do not only win in front of other teams fans only to get boos and make every fan in New York angry. But then again they did win the Super Bowl!

By TheSportsGuru The Broncos' remaining home schedule includes Sunday games with 2:05 p.m. MST kickoffs against Oakland (Nov. 23), Kansas City (Dec. 7) and Buffalo (Dec. 21). Denver concludes the regular season on Dec. 28 in San Diego, facing the Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium at 1:15 p.m. PST.

By Zapparulez Most of us die hard Bronco fans know all about how the Denver Broncos won the first ever AFL football game on September 9, 1960, but did you know that by the end of their third year the Broncos had a 4-2 record against the Raiders?   They even swept the Raiders in 1962 playing them two weeks in a ro...

By TheSportsGuru This will be a non-paying job, something most bloggers know all too well. To me, being able to talk about the Broncos with all of you is something I would do for free, and do. Should the rare event arise that I receive stuff I will be happy to share the "wealth".  Just don't count on it.

By TheSportsGuru One season into the job and Lane Kiffin has quite a dilemma on his hands. Raiders owner Al Davis wants him out, but Kiffin's not budging. 2007     4-12     Lane Kiffin 2006     2-14     Art Shell 2005     4-12     Norv Turner 2004     5-11     Norv Turner 2003     4-12     Bill Callahan

By hoosierteacher There are several axioms in football.  One is, "You can't coach speed".  Another is, "Prevent defense doesn't win games".   Yet another is, "First to fire on the line wins". Brilliant.  But why am I not surprised?  Meester (center, JAX) said he's never seen anything like it.  He should join us in...

By TheSportsGuru Obviously we would like to play better than we are playing. We talked about the Raiders coming in. They were fifth in the National Football League rushing the ball--There's a reason for that. We did do some good things, but you need to be consistent. We give some credit to them, and their running...

By TheSportsGuru Where We Are -- IN FIRST PLACE!  That's where.  Sure, we are in a 3-way tie for first with the Chiefs and Raiders, but with a win in hand over Oakland, and 5 more divisional games remaining, we hold our future in our hands.  That all starts this Sunday with a huge game with the Chargers.  I said last...

By ohnokoolaid Denver allowing Oakland back in to the game does not concern me much about the future of this team.  The way Oakland came back (a well placed punt that turned into a safety, an onside kick while catching the return team sleeping, a tipped pass turned into a touchdown) are the result of chance o...

By TheSportsGuru What I do know know is the Broncos are 2-0 and will likely sit all alone atop the AFC West.  In the end that's all that matters.  Until I give a further breakdown I welcome your opinions in the Diary Section, and provide the stats from today's game and the post-game quotes from the locker room.

By TheSportsGuru With Derrick Burgess and Warren Sapp leading the way, the Raiders have an above average D-Line and solid linebackers that tackle well, making big plays hard to come by.  The secondary is solid as well, led by Michael Huff and Stuart Schweigart in the back.  The Broncos need to take what the Ra...
